Lookin good but man, it sure made a mess if that JD. Even though that brush guard is a little short, I bet it saved the rad a few times!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Don't know how old the out building or the house is, but you might want to check out the value of the boards and beams before lighting them off.
The pic with the plywood lengthwise next to the concrete fireplace?? looks like a perfect spot for a short range.
As thick as those woods look, you might consider contracting with a Forestry expert and reputable timber company to come in generate some return on investment to restore the health of your woods, before you start your sustainability improvements and bug-out work. That and a good controlled burn would turn the place into Eden of sorts.
That's awesome, nice machine. Dad and I are lookin at a 3032e in the next couple years. 4 series is really nice... Too big for us tho.Property is lookin good! And amen on getting a forester to assess the timber. They say that if a stand needs a good thinning, you'll grow more than you cut out within a couple years...
Good progress, sorry I missed it. I'll help salvage the stove and stainless chimney parts. The water heater is probably not worth saving. The shallow-well cistern pump might be, probably worth pulling that out too. If the pump head is cast iron they sell rebuild kits for those.
LOL- they won't after you have them scrub it down with bleach after the burn! ;D
Look carefully at the thousand + holes already in it. Wee-Rangers have been chewing that up with a 10-22 Ruger, a 20 gage, my M4 and some pistols!Places all over that property for ranges.

I meant from the concrete shrine outwards you have an open area that has a (it appears on the photos) gentle grade. That looks to me like a tailor made KD zero range.

Could I offer some advice here?The 3032 is mechanical as in a manual transmission.I'd look at their hydrostatic tractor and that 3037 is one of my favorites.I have owned J Deere hydrostatic tractors since either the late 80's or early 90's.I have never experienced a failure with one, never!I used a 5300 to dig a 20 foot deep pond in Tennessee. I've put roads in, had back hoes hooked to two of them and no problems. Before that I had a manual shift tractor and it was OK except when doing shuttle loader work. That's when the hydrostat really shines!
At the end of this day, we loaded up everything and scared several hundred hippies on the drive home with that wide trailer with no rear lights.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Happy Birthday. Hope it was a great one all around.
49 what? decades? :pokin'fun@Don
The only thing that concerns me is that it is down slope and how that will mess with trajectory vs flat ground.
If it's a very gentle grade, it shouldn't cause too much of a difference. However, that is also something important to learn anyway. I'll find the calculator and post it up.
Naw, just up late with RangerHe's getting used to things in his new home!
I agree...that looks like maybe 350-400 yards..?....trajectory wouldn't be a factor on that slope.
"Up late with Ranger....."Good thing puppies are cute, cause they're a PIA! My current one has tested my resolve more then all others combined!Not seeming to get the "hold it" part of the program at 4am, so in trying to facilitate crate training protocol, I'm getting up! Then, since he's up, he wants to play! Scared crap outta me this am when I held him still cuddled against me, he went limp after struggling- he just gave in like I flipped a switch; thought I killed him or did the sleeper hold!Put yourself, pup and sled dog in small room and work it out, asserting YOU are the Alpha of the pack. I've had to do that on occasion with mine and guest dogs of friends that I've taken care of. Had as many a 4 intact males loose and free in the house together without issue, but I'm always monitoring. Lifting by the collar shoulder high with some firm affirmations and stern incantations including "NO" and putting them down to try again, lays a firm foundation of what's not tolerated when you "speak" to them to knock it off (adult dogs). Puppies I leave for on the floor and rattled them by the collar with same incantation. Adult dogs off the ground takes away their security, pack status etc. When you got the pup and each as individuals getting along, introduce all three and be ready to repeat the process as needed. Sometimes that third element can throw a wrench into the dynamic so keep on your toes- especially if you toss a female in the mix; they can be the worst, hence the name they're reffered to by in the dog world!Have fun- beautiful pup; the Mrs. Six pulled one over on you it seems! Good for her!
Darn, I missed the party!!HB Don, Ranger looks great, kids look happy (bet your grinnin too)
