Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I got back from South Dakota yesterday. I took my Dad and older boys out for a guys trip fishing for perch and walleye. Here's a couple pics.
The first days haul...View attachment 1230014
A nice pike caught while jigging...

Total for the trip was 21 walleyes, 16 perch and 2 pike. Not too shabby considering I was helping my boys unhook and rebait while the bite was hot. The main thing was we had a great time with Grandpa.

That's a nice haul!!!! I see some specks off to the side too. Was that on Winnebago??

Finally got tired of getting a wet ass . Picked up a seat for the kubota a tractor supply. Had to drill two holes in the factory seat track frame to get it to work . At 1/4 of the price of a new Kubota seat I’ll live with it

Question to anyone who has put up a steel building recently. What company did you buy from and how was the transaction. My buddy has two Carolina steel buildings and loves them unfortunately they stopped dealing in NY . Looking to get a 30x50 with radiant floor heating I’ll be doing the pour and heat install

Thanks! Yeah, a different group was fishing a different lake. They had about 20 10-12" crappie in addition to some nice perch.

No, we were fishing in South Dakota in the Webster area.

Pits don't feel pain like other dogs

Ours did, until the switch was flipped. Then no pain at all.

Yeah, a bad case of monkey butt is no fun.

This will fix that!

Where do you get that? I don't need any, but some of my crew could use a dusting.

I get mine at Fleet Farm. Probably could get it from Walmart.

Hope you don't have to do the dusting!

Wouldn't be the first time I took one for the team.

That stuff is invaluable during the sticky months especially when showers and routine clean clothes changes are not plentiful. It always comes with on canoe trips.

Alrighty fellas, I am stumped

Anyone know what this is??

Sawyer? Grizz??

You older gents know older firearms

Guy in a gun group is wondering what it is. Story is, a widow is selling her deceased husbands toys…

For mice I use the 5 gallon bucket trap. Give them a ramp to the bucket and use a soda can on a dowel. Put peanut butter on the can and add enough water to drown them. One year i used fermented corn I feed chickens and got this overnight.

First impression was an underlever box lock that survived because it smashes one’s trigger finger under recoil and wasn’t shot much. That said, any chance it has proof marks on the bottom of the barrel lump? That might get us to the proper country and maybe a brand.

If he’s lucky maybe the inquirer can pick up guns for what the owner told his wife he paid for them.

I am taking welding at the local community college starting next month. They rarely have an opening there, especially for an older student who isn't attending full time, but I always wanted to learn.
I worked for a welding shop almost 50 years ago, but we did things like fix torches and deliver rental welders. Did very little welding ourselves.
I am going to try and get good at TIG welding aluminum.

Hopr your daughter loves it and does great!

Thanks, yes this class fills quickly. It’s a lottery system to get in. She is annoyed kids with good grades don’t get preference. Luckily I know all the automotive instructors, might have to pull a few strings for her.
