Thanks! I cant wait to be really done with the upgrades, but it's been a lot of fun to plan and think through it. Doesn't hurt either that we caught our first two bass this year in it too.

Got a call from our forestry company during family dinner on Saturday saying they were running ahead of schedule, and they'd be burning Sunday morning. That's today, the high temp is 80F a few days before new year, and I've got one more week of deer season left to hunt... You burn when they're ready to burn though, so I got up at o-dark-thirty and drove up.
We had planned to burn 65 acres, but the crew decided to add a fire break across a gulley I hadn't even considered trying to navigate, so it ended up being 70 acres instead. Couldn't get started due to the 90% humidity until about noon, but we had a great burn and got most of what I wanted burned -- for some reason big thickets of greenbriar and that half acre of invasives I spent all the time spraying and killing just hold a lot of humidity and won't burn. *shrug* next time.
Everything was either fairly open pines (think 50-70 DBH per acre), meadow, or thick mixed species bottomlands. We burned during the growing season 18 months ago and each time seems to get more effective.
