Get your get to set you up with stuff for repairing a torn up dog- stapler and amoxicillin 250mg 'cause Red Dog keeps running through fence while down at farm and you don't want to run back north to fix her up!
I actually used up 300 in 3 years on dogs being tore open!

My only heirloom gun is my Grandfather's Remington Model 11 - the gun I used to learn to shoot airborne targets with as a teen. Used it 5 years ago in South Dakota for an evening hunt to honor his memory. He used it, most memorably to whack a double on So. Missouri Gobblers, sneaking out of his shop, popped over the hill side and shot the first head that stuck up.....and the one behind it! Filled his and Grandma's tag less then 100 yrds from the front door!
He stopped using it, when one day, it went full auto on him, dumping 3 rounds and scaring him sufficiently to pick-up an 1100 at the pawn shop! He had it repaired before handing it down to me!
He's the man I got the hunting bug from, as the stories, though few, were enough to peek my interest- the only hunt he ever took me on was into the woods, past the shop, squirrel hunting, with a sweet Winchester pump .22 rifle that my younger brother ended up with along with all the other arms. He was the man who had the most profound effect upon whom I am today- rough and well "used", it's one of my favorite weapons.

Do you guys have anything for gaining weight...all I've seen on this forum is for shedding!
Come to the Chicago area and enroll in Welfare and become a Democrat (not ment to slander) - around here, I've YET to see a skinny, emaciated poor person! (who wasn't a Meth Addict)

who left the box crayons open for these 2 to play with?!
just kidding guys, sometimes you have to get a little old school to have it make sense.
Don't forget Nate- an Art Teacher can send you some to play with. 'Course where you're at, they'll melt! You been doing the backstroke lately? Crazy seeing roadways turned into rivers with rapids on the news!

Since you're drawing
See that section of grill running down inside of the headlight and parking light?
What would it look like with a new vertical there along with a lateral which passes just under the headlight, connects to the vertical, then another horizontal coming off the stub on the middle horizontal?
That along with something like that corner gusset would "Grid up" and tighten up everything considerably
I think I might have been experiencing a Vulcan Mind Tap - is this what you'z thinkin'?

That's awesome!
Am I the only one that see's Blaine's pics sideways? I've fixed them before.....or....I've turned them sideways for everyone else except me.
Leave them sideways, they're not as intimidating that way! -Lol! GREAT News Blaine! Glad to hear things are getting back to normal for Weston and the rest of the family!

For my breakfast, based upon rude comments (factual) by the Dr., I had "Ancient Grains" cereal w/ 1%, coffee (black- but like it that way) and a banana for a whopping 390 calories! Using a Fitbit (FATBIT for me as of now) and electronic scale linked to it and the calorie counting software phone app. Will keep me honest, track trends including heart rate and exercise, calories eaten, salt intake, calories burned, % body fat etc. and most importantly, fairly easy to enter- all I need to do is track food, technology does the rest!
AND- I can't lie to myself about it (ah, that handful of cookies is GOOD for me!) Currently 200 lb. 5' 10" and according to scale at about 25% body fat (seems high but maybe not).

Yep. 195-205 is my fighting weight. Sitting at 218 now. I could carry 220 fine when I was lifting regularly. I gave up weight training for cardio and push ups/pull ups/ and ab work. And stretching. the other thing people forget as they get older. I spend much more time stretching now than I ever did.
HA- at our age, everything is a STRETCH! ;D

Build Thread Trash-up Installment 25b:
Vertigo- Dr. said that I'm fat, eat too much salt and I have a tiny hole in my eardrum! He did some manipulation tests, hanging my head off the table several different ways and times, making me keep my eyes open- I think he just thought it was funny watching my eyes rattle around trying to find level! Almost puked and broke-out in nausea induced sweats. Looking at a Fit Bit to tattle on me to myself on what I'm NOT doing enough of and log it so I can't fudge the numbers. :(
FitBit= home monitoring device invented for those convicted of being outta shape! LOL-

After reviewing the recent photo's on a full-size computer, I would just like to state:
I almost feel giddy for you when you start her up and take it for a spin, and then that first trip to the farm..........somethings getting run over with destructive purpose and forethought!
You'll harken back to your Tank Commander days, find someone with a tripod mounted .50 and put in the bed and powerslide up to an objective, pop the hatch and ventilate something!
Can't wait to see it in action!

Now just LOOK at how this President is uniting the world! We ALL feel the same way about his actions, Americans and muslims alike!

Self-representation was a mistake- the rest is outrageous and troubling, and with Obummers purge of Kool-aide free Officers from the military it's not a surprising outcome for said Marine! Not long before "Semper Fidelis" is changed to "Always Compliant"

No worries! Was doing likewise - drove my dad up to WI to watch my son turn $ into noise playing with his "drift" car - we'll all triangulate in the not to distant future!

Depends on how you feel about some of their practices. Troy makes quality stuff! Damn good and solid gear! But they have made some controversial decisions regarding cadre on their subsidiary Troy assymetrics. Check out this link-
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/08/daniel-zimmerman/what-the-hells-the-problem-with-troy-industries/
I own a Troy rifle and I love it... Just don't tell all my friends! I bought it before I knew any of this and I'm not going to just throw it away or sell it for half of what I have in it or not tell someone about Troys business practices to get its full value- basically, use your own judgement!
Agreed - that's how I am with "Spotted Cow" beer by New Glarus - love the beer, hate their politics! They love Obummer! No longer go outta my way to purchase it, unless I'm somewhere it's on tap (Wisconsin only) while I'm hunting or on vacation treating myself to a taste.

One aspect I didn't see addressed:
Mrs. 6 will appreciate it much more, if you use one, which has a diameter larger than the entry hole- path of least resistance is used by stench too! With lid down and large vent, little stink at all!

There was a panhandler at the Mexican place we go to at work, and my buddy said that he looked like the "bridge keeper"...... He finally disappeared mid winter and we surmised that someone must have asked "European of African"?

Proposed warp avoidance method:
What if you welded a straight (bit larger) steel beam across the inside of the bumper horns that put them in outward pressure? Then weld up the bumper alternating sides until completion and hammering each fresh weld. The hammering method is something I've seen my father use to successfully weld cast iron which is notorious for cracking along the weld as it cools. Then, just take your blue light saber and remove the brace(s) and you might have a warp free bumper?

"Vertigo..." Wasn't the photos, it was the idea of you, wood and fiberglass again!
"Pre-rangers- procure new saw blades and wait in the wings with Red Dog for Operation Hide Mistake 2" :o
Speaking of vertigo, Mike, how are you doing? See the Doc? Find out anything?
Well, Quack in the Box set me up with drops for an outer ear infection, Drammamine, Clairetin and seem to be improving- but I'm gonna get to the real Dr/Cardiologist to get back on cholesterol meds as my level (NATO round) and heredity dictate I should be doing so AND to make certain it was just ear infection. Appreciate the prayers and inquiry. MORE SPARKS!!!!!!

10" sliding miter chop saw w/ folding stand, generator, circ. saw, hand tools, camper & tent, unmolested Stihl chainsaw, pop-up canopy.......yard fogger.......I'm sure between the DOT's etc. we'd have more tools than hands to use them!

So I've aquired vertigo and not the one by Hitchcock. Increasing in frequency and severity to point while walking down hallway this afternoon, the wall on my left was at a 45 degree angle and leaned against me! Never been in a heliocopter but imagine Don and Duane might have imparted similar effects to some cocky passengers.
Drove to Dr. In a Box, waiting with germ bags to get a appraisal of my condition - hoping for ear infection, fearing constricted arteries causing reduced blood flow to my lonely brain cell that's not effected yet.
Appreciate prayers for a vanilla diagnosis and treatment - also for safety of others and myself as I drive home- ride here I was line a dottering 90 something affraid to turn my head fast for fear of puking in my nice truck or curbing myself or some poor KIA driver sipping a machioto latte here in sheepleville.

Needs a catchy name like in the John Wayne movie, The Green Beret's, Provo's Privy.
So, "Crack-house" is out
The local dump is not so good either
I really wanted to put a urinal in there and place a picture of Jane Fonda in it...just like all the urinals in the old spec ops hangars I used to live in
Do that and I'll stop every time I'm NEAR Kentucky just for some target practice.......unless she's on fire - then I'll just watch!

Nice truck Tate, and an even nicer wife! Sent mine to look at trucks once while on trip in Minnesota- all I got was "I like Chevy's seats the best" and "they cost a lot" and "no Diesels"........does Mrs. Tate run a seminar for women on "how to take care of your husband" or anything similar? -LOL

From the photos and listings, I'll be the didn't clean them much shoot one till dirty, grab or purchase another one and continue shooting.
I'll bet the poor guy will have to "bid" to keep those he wants too- keep momma happy boys! ::)

Progress on the truck looks great, even the badging application on Frankensnorkle! I too wondered about the soft looking front tire- of course you have added sheet metal, bumper, winch and paint so some bulging is to be expected. ;)

Prayers for you and your family Blaine: They are never here long enough and give us their unconditional love and joy of life! What other creature will eat the most godawful thing and revel in its flavor, roll in pungent substance and wriggle with joy while they share the stench with you? We may yell and discipline them, yet they wag their tails and lick at us like it never happened! I think it no coincidence that they share the same letters in their name as God, because that is how they love us, and many will lay down their lives for their families. Here's a great link that sums it up better than just text: https://www.youtube.com/embed/lJ7AfSO2fKs

Great table! Also makes a great shooting bench!
I did notice one issue with the new Stihl though, that chain needs to be outta the dirt and actually around the bar for it to work......... ;D
Nice sounding cabin plan- Yoder is one of your more common names in the Amish community. Friend of mine moved form So. Iowa to So. Missouri - his Farrier in IA was named Yoder; goes to find a local one in MO and HIS name is Yoder!
I look at the lay of your land now that it's cut, and I envision feed strips laid out around the edges, then start hearing the calls of Quail and think of running dogs! You must be smack dab in the middle of Quail country down there.......and I also thought of a Still, in addition to the new Stihl, since you're in Bourbon Country as well.
Question: What is that stone behemoth- Outdoor grill/fireplace or what? I'm talking about the one with the vines growing on it, not the fire ring.

That's all she wrote but aien't no fat lady singin' so the show is not over...just an intermission.
Had to make time for a dad/son project. We built a picnic table for the farm and plan to take it down there in the morrow to improve out fighting position there as well.
So ended build day 251...
Heavenly Father, please bless Don and his sons with a beautiful day together sharing in your creation as they travel to and from and while working on the farm. Amen (Someone might offer up a prayer to protect the tools from the brush hog) ;)
