What city is your farm out of Don? Raising boys into RealMen!!
Bobbe,I was thinking about door numba two. I was wondering if HF had some deep well exploration camera for $19.99...going to check!
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!
^^^^This is getting scary. ^^^^Only here would you get a picture of leaf springs and a wood stove in the same picture.I do like the stove, needs some kinda trim. I need to add a leaf to the front of Spartan before I lift it just for general driving.

I was wondering if HF had some deep well exploration camera for $19.99...going to check!How deep is the well? Rough estimate? Most cameras you'll see won't have a long cord. However for a cheap alternative:1. Go to your local sporting goods store2. Go to the section that has the waterproof pelican cases, or their comparable competitors3. Buy a small one about IPhone sized with a clear lid.4. Put IPhone into video mode, tape to inside of clear lid, secure lid ensure proper seal5. Attach 550 to case 6. Slowly lower case, as an added bonus if you lower slow enough it won't spin very fast and give you a 360* view of the inside of the well. Onceit gets to water level you'll have video of what's down there. Repeat steps in reverse order to retrieve videographic evidence of well's interior. Added bonus, you have a new case to store something in.
Why don't you get a deacon from on of those little churches down the road from the hide, they love handling those nasty things!
But I was thinking of lowerin' CudaKidd on my winch cable. That way I get audio as well!Mostly screams and some cursing I suspect, but would make one heck of a story...Especially if there are snakes down there.

Are you sure its a well and not just an old cistern from the original homestead? The reason I ask is that the bottle-shape you describe is consistent with cistern construction techniques used prior to the plastic or poured-in-place ones built today. I think the old cistern behind the house is of the same bottle-shaped, brick construction. A weight on a string will allow you to determine the depth...
Any day at the farm shooting is better than a day there with Don wreaking havoc on equipment! ;DLooks like a good time......
That well is so cool! So, you and Ray did all of the manual labor, while Rhinestone Mike was playing jump rope with a large nut? Hmm, some friend he is. :)
Sounds like a great time had by all. Makes me want to make a road trip now!
Gunna throw this out there otherwise I'll forget to say it, possibly a dumb idea. That steel ring, was zooming in at the picture & thinking you need to repurpose that somehow as it's technically part of the farm. Anyhow, thinking you need to build a sundial. Maybe you could use the ring as the clock face of sorts......
Glad I could help! ;D
