Good morning all! Been busy with work and the fam and haven't thought to get on since this is the first peek in here since July. Got bumped to the day shift last week and this is my first "day" off in awhile. Seems odd to get up late at 7am.

Greg the truck looks great! & Tom it's sad to see you go. With my days off mid week and a 5am start time I probably wont make this send off gtg

Good afternoon. I'm ready for fall

I think I already asked everyone, but does anyone have a 20+ ft equipment/car trailer I could borrow this weekend? I have to move a 92 ex cab long bed 7.3. I'm slowly running out of motivation to even move the thing. Putting a turbo, master cylinder and front wheel bearing assembly on my truck before that..

Afternoon guys.

I was done today after sweating through 3 shirts and the sun was really starting to bake me.

Well we lost 6 chickens last night to what I think was a fisher. It got it through a small opening in the chicken wire. Then it shredded 5 and took one away.

Now I need to get rid of it.
I don't think my have a heart trap is big enough but I will give it a try.

I am just glad that I found the mess early this morning before the kids did.

Sorry to hear about the chickens Andy, that's awful. Did it kill your whole flock, or are there any left?

Andy, weasels and fisher cats both will kill a bunch and take one and drag it 50 or 60 feet and eat it. Leaving quite a mess. Glad you were able to keep the kids away. On the farm we kept a .22 rifle by the back door and the coops were across the street. In our case it was weasels, and they could be very sneaky.

Good morning CT.

Thanks John. I had the trap set last night but no luck. I think I might need to rethink the trap. I think the have a heart I have is to small.

Morning all.

I guess the weatherman is calling for rain, down pours todayl. I guess we need the rain and we have lucked out this year with great weekends.

It's Friday and that means the weekend is upon us. Saturday Pig Roast and all the side dishes.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Good morning guys.

We took my dad and kids to the Waterford Speedbowl last night. We had a great time. It has been a long time since I have gone.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.
Have fun at the pig roast John.
