It would have to be limited to the lawn mowing and not the grass cutting! Plenty of targets in the grass…. My father broke a bunch of spindles on the zero turn…

Normally I don't push mow a lot but the squirrels thought my rider mower looked like a nice winter food storage, pretty sure they chewed one of the coil wires too, so until I could fix that I was trying to knock the immediate area around the house down to keep mice from having cover to make it inside with out the cat seeing them.It would have to be limited to the lawn mowing and not the grass cutting!

I was trim mowing a lot of areas I cant get with the rider and bam, dang it, forgot that was there........

1st round of chicken just about done 
Be there in ten! Man, that looks delicious!
Had some really nice northern lights last night. Perhaps the best I’ve ever seen.
These are unedited time lapse images. If I touch them up, they really would’ve looked like something.
I should’ve walked out to the point and got a full pano of the north sky.

Just wrapped the pork only 6-7 hours to go on it 
I would have thought you'd have one of these custom smokers Mark.Two smokers going
That’s a cold smoker . I made a similar unit a while ago to smoke cheese . But I had the pipe underground to cool the smoke . My grandfather(wife’s side) made one using a cistern for the fire pit below ground and 25-30 feet of steel culvert pipe to the smoke house . Made the best kielbasa you ever had . They lived just outside of Wilkes-Barre Pa
From start to finish 8 hours the pork shoulder wasn’t that big about 12 lbs 
that sucks, with your house. I don't wish that predicament on anyone.
First world problems, yeah I look at it like this. Even working in stone I had it a lot better then some, the shop makes it a lot better then most. Everything else is just me whining lol.
It was a matter of good/bad timing. We couldn't have bought this house without it being a foreclosure (before the official foreclosure crisis started). But I'm not gonna lie, it did suck at the time and brought a lot of stress on the wife and I both. We got through it and would do it all over again. And we ended up with our dream house... so what if the barn timing, and some other sacrifices, didn't align with our desired calendar. I couldn't be happier. My daughter commented a couple months ago about getting my things out when I move houses and I told her, "Honey, where I'm going to when I leave here, I won't need any of my stuff."
Had the last of the venison backstrap for dinner tonight, it was from the doe and was great as usual.
I'll be bringing the remaining rump and shoulder steaks up to the cabin over the WE to feed the 5 of us.
We still have a good # of bags of chunks left, we usually cook them inside when it is colder out.
Two deer seems like it was a good amount for the wife and me, hope I can be fortunate enough to get 2 more this year.

Sometimes betting on oneself is the best bet. Who else will work so hard to make it work?!
