Not sure if there is or not. It was very low and covered in algae in Oct. before the rain came back. I will be diggin up some fill dirt for the driveway from next to the pond and hopefully will be adding to the size of it.

I did look back through the pictures to see if got any pics of the Fahitas cooked on a open pit, home made tortias, fresh avacadoes, and a lot of Corona. I'll try to get the camera operator/Lovely Wife to get some pictures next time. It's funny how she doesn't like to have her picture taken but loves taken em.

32 tires, why? Already got rid of 26 will take the last few this evening. Gonna make a swing with a semi tire. The trash truck is comming for the dumpster today and the house trailer frame should go as well.

Cleaning up after somebody has trashed a place is no fun. There's a place near to me where a guy decided he was going to build a teepee house with a metal frame. He got the skeleton built (no foundation, just dirt) and then I think he lost his job as a welder and had no welding truck or equipment to use that belonged to somebody else. In the meantime, he hauled in hundreds of old truck tires and used cinder blocks from some building demolition.

Then, his son took over the place about the time Katrina hit the Gulf coast. He hauled FEMA trailers with somebody else's truck and bought one of his own to "fix up." Well, his fixer-upper is still parked at his place just off the ROW and so is an old 1-ton truck with a rat's nest camper. He also brought in an old school bus and converted it to living quarters. For water, he hauled big plastic barrels and put them on the hillside above the bus with plastic line plumbing water down to the bus. When his girlfriend an her daughter left, he stayed there about two more months and we haven't seen him since. So, all the junk his father brought in and all the junk he brought in are still there, but nobody has even been around there for the last year that I know of.

A cousin lives on the place next door and isn't much better. I call him Chainsaw Bob because he built his shack using a chainsaw to cut lumber since he had no electricity. His shack looks just as you'd expect. I think junk collecting runs deeply in the genes of their family.:laughing: Some day that property will sell and it will be a huge job for someone to clean up all the mess, especially since the area is on a hillside covered with rocks and postoak woods.

Put a load handler on the m101 trailer. The first load went pretty good, the second not so much. Lesson learned was to clean the bed before you layout the tarp. I rolled a couple of clods into the handler. So got to shovel the dirt off the tarp, lay it out clean it and roll back up, and still unload the trailer with a shovel.
