Cool little doxy. Will he flush out gophers? I might need to rent him out so he can teach mine.

Mine love to chase squirrels and rabbits, and they'll get after a deer too if they lay eyes on one. We've been talking about keeping the little foster that we're looking after. Haven't fully committed to that yet though. He needs to lose a set of nuts first.

This doxy here has more personality than any dog we've had. She's 12-13 years old, but doesn't act her age at all. She has nailed a few opossums and coons, but not quite big enough to kill em, or they get away before she can kill em. Only weighs 12 lbs.
We have a shrine in our back yard where we buried 'Nagel's Happy Junior'. Male smooth doxie.
Heh. My dad bought 'Happy senior' to keep my mom company while on the road but he attached to dad. Mother kept dad's old denim jacket on the floor for Happy to sleep on after dad passed.

Took us about two hours to cut split and load. All dead standing in the timber. Drought killed them a couple years ago. Cut with all Swedish saws and orange German saw.

Burgers on the grill tonight and homemade gooseberry crumble with ice cream for desert. Sometimes
eating at home beats going out.

After getting my honey doos done for the day, yesterday. I cut up and split up a HUGE Walnut log that had been sitting out back for 6 or 7 months. About a half cord altogether. Took it down this morning to my friend Al, who was getting really worried about firewood. Got in to his place, unloaded and gone without him knowing I was there.
He texts me about 1pm, saying he'd be home and ready by 1:30. Texted him back saying already dropped it by this A.M. Happy Halloween, Al.
He was got, he was got good.

I've known Al for a couple of years, now. He's somewhere north of seventy. One of the most fascinating people I know. Usually, when I take wood to him, I spend most of the day with him. Goldie and I will be going back down to his place this coming Saturday and spend the whole day cutting a few trees and getting him some more firewood. He always helps out, as much as he can. He has 7 or 8 acres, mostly on a hillside.
But when we take a break we always go up to his house and he schools me on Ham radios. He collects and works on his own radio equipment. He has about as many radios as I have saws. Which is a LOT. He has the new stuff, but he also has the old stuff, too. 50-70 year old stuff, that still work. Because he works on them, too.
The first thing you see when you arrive at his place, is the antennas. They're everywhere. I mean everywhere. He even made an antennae out of a live tree. It's really fascinating to watch him spin dials and flip switches and start talking to someone on the other side of the planet.

Got the 048 running good enuff to try and cut with it. Def. has an air leak somewhere. So it has to be the NLA crank seal.[emoji22]
When we going to have another one (charity cut)?
Got a full trailer load of pecan Friday, split it all up this afternoon. Still got more pecan to split, and a large pile of mixed wood, and a growing pile of oak too.
Would have placed higher with you or Levi at the wheel, but nooooooooo. I was tricked into that anyway. Rebekah comes to me and says "Matt and Alan want to race your 346 in the 3 cube. They already paid the entry fee." I say, "Ok, I will go get it". I go get it and Alan won't touch it, Levi has another saw entered, and Matt says, "I ain't racing it, you are, here is a chain". At least now I can say I raced a saw at Stihl Timberworks and placed in the money....BAM

That is awesome. If he ever gets low on wood and you are short on supply let me/us know. I always have something I could part with.
