    solar eclipse April 8. This town is going nuts over it.

    Like little joe, I worked around the farm until about noon, at which point I grabbed a brew and watched for a couple of hours. Lots of critters around but the only oddity was we had owls down in the woods hooting back and forth throughout the entire eclipse. I never recall hearing owls in the...

    Lives lost

    Exactly, always easier to blame somebody else rather than taking responsibility for their own actions.

    reminds me of my dad, also lost him way too early at 65, best friend I ever had. the last ten years of his life he lived on an old ox bow lake. He fished every day of his life that last ten years, maybe for just five minutes a day but every day. Can still hear him say, let’s go wet a hook.

    Bird Repellent?

    Things I absolutely hate.....

    I graduated high school in 1970. Almost all boys carried a knife and a bunch of pickups ( mine included) had guns in the rack. There was quite often a fight over something ( usually girls) but, it was always fists, or shoving or, wrestling. Never were any knives or guns involved. Better days I...

    How do you heat?

    i built my house in 1988 and installed a central wood heat system at the same time. The wood furnace heats my house and hot water ( year round). Have a homemade wood stove that keeps my shop warm in the winter. My utility bills run about $80/ month in the winter. Use about 6-8 cords of wood per...

    Things I absolutely hate.....

    Big trees

    Been cutting logs for almost fifty years.used to run a 16” bar, now I’m up to a 20” bar. admittedly, the biggest trees I cut are 2.5 to 3’. Kinda funny, the older I get the longer my bar gets.
