Just got to OZ yesterday. Decided to get some more of that Filthy black cherry syrup. Adding about 1/3 oz to your favorite bourbon, and a half teaspoon of brown sugar makes a pretty damn good drink. I am stilll partial to Luxardo Cherries tho. I add one of those for something to stir...

Anyone pay attention to the job growth today?

Got me to thinking.....I may use my lime spreader to spread black dirt over the road edges. My lime spreader holds about 1000 lbs of material.....and can be pulled by anything.. Loading it with my loader and deposting a thin layer of dirt may work quite well. That spreader has been...

You have captured exactly what I need here. That sandy soil used to put this road in place really should have some clay or black dirt in it. We had hoped to find some better clay in the area of my pond dig....but it was not there. Just sand. I do have several piles of dirt that were...

I've already seen the effect of the sunlight on the switch this year. Some I can get good sunlight to....and it thrives. Does take a little common sense to find the better places for switch. I've done "ok" in many areas.....and better in others. Strange stuff that...

You're seeing correctly. The pond is in the middle of that trail......but I do have a trail you do not see that loops around this pond. I plan to plant this trail in switch.....and just use one side for a small travel lane. About the only thing it will lead to is my blind. I am...

Got the bill from my excavator today.....and I was not there when they finished the job. Going to OZ tomorrow.....so I figured I better have one more look before paying the tab. Snapped a few more pics. They sure did more than I figured I would get from them. Very satisfied with the...

^ Always been someone to shout "the sky is falling" or "FIRE!! in a crowded theater. I think people are pretty resilient....and will find a way through this too. We need more craftsmen.....with a desire to make neat stuff......or do we? I suppose a clock maker or a tv repairman dont...

Not many good stores to shop are left. Penny's, Sears, Herbergers, and many more are gone or diminished. Kohls sounds shaky too. Seems that on-line shopping has eaten most of the competition in the clothing world. Still, noting remains the same. One day Amazon will be outdone by...

^ Very well said!

I just did a Facebook search on corduroy roads.....and I gotta say....mine may be the finest example of such in those many pages. I think my road will be there for a long, long time. 12 feet wide x 100 yards long, geo textile under well placed tamarack logs. This thing would carry a tank...

NOT! SD....I am 1/4 mile from a large lake with a marina where my pontoon is moored in well protected waters. The lake is well known for panfish, bass and walleye. Why on earth would I spend time and money to put perch in there? MN....land of 10,000 lakes (and a few fish ponds)...

Yesterday I was driving around with my UTV at my land. Was picking the heaters out of a few blinds and brought my cameras in for the winter. I think I flushed a half a dozen grouse while driving about. This is the most grouse I have had on my land since owning it. I likely should...

Nope. Just took some time to seep in at the water table. This is close to the water level I will have going forward. You could see the change in soil colors when they found the water depth. It’s about three feet deep.

A few more pics from today. They really did a nice job on my road and I have a thick blanket of sand over the corduroy and have some geo-fabric under the corduroy. I think it is built right. I could use some "binder" or clay in the top coat.....but maybe next summer I can use up some...
