And I bet your palms are sweaty and your hands are shaking just looking at that pic...:laughing:

Well, I will admit to a certain amount of lust if nothing else ... :laughing:

Thanks ... I wish I could say ours were well-behaved, but unfortunately that's not the case ... they're all trouble-makers, one way or another ... :laughing:

We have one named Buddy, showed up here at about 8 months old, already neutered, clean, well fed. Couldn't find the owners so he stayed. He's into something all the time, but loves everyone and they love him.

Good afternoon all. 54F this morning clear light breeze. Clouded up for a while, then returned to sunshine, 72F very breezy at times. Took wife Christmas shopping till she dropped

. Still have leaves to clean up, and outside lights to put up, hopefully tomorrow.

counter clockwise I was taught. I mean, clockwise is clockwise, right? my sister just informed me they were going to put in an offer on a home in Muir Beach California with an ocean view, and ocean noise...all quite amazing I think despite the fact that someday I think it will all go under the ocean when the Big One comes. They have one son living and working as an attorney in Redding, and lots of other family on inlaw side out there. So it makes sense. And she can look at the Pacific like David/Sodamo does. David, you'll need to warn my sister if the BIG wave comes around the Island and heads for California. Actually it might be the other way around if California starts rocking and rolling and splitting apart. RNG, ever been to Muir Beach? Not sure I ever will...hate to fly.

Try as I might, just can't quite see all the way to Ca.
I've never been s member of the enamored by Ca group, nor been overwhelmed my few visits there including the one just this past TDay. And yet I now sit here having recently agreed (yesterday) to a vacation with friends to start in LA Mar 30 next year and end up in San Diego Apr 25th. Doing a cross country Amtrak trek ending in Ft Lauderdale FL via Chicago and Washington DC then jumping on a cruise ship that will pass thru the Panama Canal with a few stops along the way. Our son's future inheritance is about to get a major adjustment LOL.

Eric, can quite imagine chasing a flock over 1000 acres. Great story. Thanks

Drew. I misspoke when I told you that I got the standard bucket on the tractor. I didn't ask what bucket and I didn't look for a sticker. While hooking it up today I noticed a sticker that read. Light Materials only. Well did I mention that I had 75 tons of gravel to move. Bet I moved 15 this afternoon. Tractor will handle a heaped bucket of gravel just fine. Does get a little light on the back going down hill. I had my 7' Servis grader blade on. Was wishing I didn't need it and I would have put a bale of hay back there.

Took some closeup pictures of the gravel today for your reference. This is what is called 4's and smaller. 1-4" rocks and no fines. Glove for size reference. I'm using this as my base.

Sorry only one picture per post.

These are 610's. 3/4" down to fines. Our crusher says 57's are the same rock without the fines.

We have 3 in the house, one at my wife's shop. There is no way I could leave cat food out like that. My guys would be in it in a heartbeat. I've caught our male cat upside down in the cat food container, I left the top open, and he climbed right in. And the dogs would go after it also.
