    Thank you Iowa

    Taking the turkey and the sheds is fine but your supposed to leave the morels at the border! Congrats, sounds fun.

    New House Build

    Hard to believe a contractor in 2024 needs to have power on site to build. I rarely see a compressor on a jobsite anymore. The guns are either battery or gas powered, and most everything else is run on batteries. Most guys still run a cord to a miter or table saw but a generator can handle...

    I would never have thought….

    That's a good one. I've had a couple odd ones before as well. A raccoon standing down a bobcat, and a video of an owl running off a buck.

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    $1,000 is an incredible price. If I didn't hate heat , I'd be really tempted to go south for that kind of deal. It's all but impossible to even find pieces that big up here. Buying wild land isn't just about big bucks. It's an investment that doubles as a way of life.

    Sailing trip

    That's a long ways up, especially if you're bobbing on the water!

    Lord grant me the strength

    I never run summer cams. Those first pulls in late September are always exciting.

    And this is why we are careful with fire…

    I burned about 15 acres this morning. There was a couple minutes of panic but overall went without incident.

    And this is why we are careful with fire…

    I rarely light a fire that I don't instantly regret. It always seems to do what i don't think it can. I still burn but I hate it, I've seen too many get away. I have learned that an atv with a sprayer and boom is extremely effective at stopping a grass fire.

    Soil test results

    I'm curious if any soil experts want to take a stab at recommendations here. My usual MO is to bring the soil test to the coop and put on whatever they load up. All 4 fields have been pasture, likely ever since wire was strung in this part of the country. I doubt it has seen much fertilizer...

    Two wheel drive tractors

    Chains make a huge difference in the winter on snow and ice, night and day basically. I sure wouldn't want them on in the summer though unless you are putting around real slow and never get on the road.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    You make a good point. I like credit cards for the reasons listed above and I have them set to automatically pay off every month so I never pay interest. However, there are definitely purchases I make online that I wouldn't if I had to go through the hassle of sending in a check or even worse...

    Walnut?

    If it's a walnut tree it should have walnuts on the ground around it.
