Pictures of a gate that I built. Good gate for vehicles. It's 12' 6" wide. Support posts are 6" pipe & RR tie. Both set in concrete. Latch post 2" pipe, driven into ground. Simple flip latch that locks. Neutral swing, stays where put. It was run into & bent as shown in the picture, nothing gave...

Time to get this off my chest. Now first of I don't believe in ghosts, aliens, UFO'S, ET'S or any of that hocus pocus. So it was just a dream - Right?? My 1975 Dodge truck was show room fresh, bright & shinny. Kirby was young & sleek, bout the best looking dog you ever saw. The Dodge was our...

Now it is understood that a littler eye opener to start the day is OK. A mid morning Pick Me upper is fine. A little something at lunch time is spot on. An afternoon break with a snort or 2 is well understood. Naturally at quitting time A few drinks is only natural. A little something before...

Riding & roping

Well I finally got some pictures. Sort of OK, camera acting up & "little boy" would not hold still. Heart shape on face looks more like a heart in real life. - - - -

Here is a little guy that almost got run over. It crossed the road right in front of the truck last Sat. My guess is about 5 feet long, but hard to tell. Think its in the Gopher snake family, but only a guess. He was moving fairly fast but not flat out. Found a hole & disappeared seconds after...

Hi lady, Always glad to hear from you. The jailers guessed him to be 1 year & 7 months old. But ???? Think if I survive long enough to get his cone off, things will go fine. Now the big nut wants to be a Lap Dog. Gave him a couple of lessons on Sit. Push down on his rear & pull out 1 leg. He...

I did a complete build on a roller & compactor. don't remember the name of the thread. About 2 years ago. Think if you go to search & type in roller or sheeps foot it should come up. It can be filled with water for added weight & emptied for transport Here are a couple of pictures. -

Since my big girl ( 140 / 150 pounds ) passed away a few months ago. I decided it was time for a new big dog. Well the biggest dog in jail / pound was 76.4 LBS, still young & may grow a little more. He is strong & pulls on the leash so hard it hurts your hands & wrist. First problem, he did not...

snopes.com: Marlin Firearms Bought Out by George Soros A little information on the reason for the shortage & wild prices.

I would like to hear what you feed your dogs & would you recommend it. I currently have 2 girl dogs about 40 pounds each, My big girl died about 5 months ago & I would like to have another big dog. Some where in the 100 pound range. Been up & down the internet looking & just about every...

I had a saying that I used on quite a few want to be cowboys. "I have fallen off of better horses than most of you have rode." Actually I have never been thrown off, when I expected the horse to buck. In about 1952 or 53 we had a 1/4 horse colt named "Nosy", Brought him to town (Tombstone...

Here is the picture of the little critter. Probably about 2 years old.

After killing 7 - maybe 8 last year I didn't expect too many this year. the girls (dogs) gave the something is wrong or we have a snake here signal. Sure enough he/ she was under the truck & mad as he!!. Only thing close was a very dull hoe. Took several good whacks to finally get it. Looked...

My pictures aren't all that exciting like elks & such. A couple of notes. Roadrunners can fly & fly very well. They often hunt in pairs, male & female. Have 2 adult pair living real close. Tried to find the nests, but no luck in 2 years of looking. Nests are very close to the ground. Often one...

More fun - One of them may be some rednecks :laughing: - -

Hi, Have thought about solar lights. Looked at that one, don't think it would last, sun here eats plastic much too fast to be practical. And it would increase my already high wind load. A ground based unit would be better & easy to replace. Or when possible run some 110 current out there...

Not my pictures - just for fun - -

Might of had some wind here. Near new 600# rope & bent the sheet metal rifle stock. Pole it's self doing fine. Rope will be replaced with a small steel cable. -

New Engine???

Just for fun -

just for fun :laughing:

Enjoy

Just for fun, -

Sure hope you have a merry Easter & the Bunny lays you a Golden Egg. I think that is how the story goes.:D On a more serious note. Went to town today. Saturday 19th, tomorrow is Easter. A little over 20 miles from my place is big Casino & hotel. On the same property is a convenience store that...

You might say this was the end of the haul. :D

See Picture. I would think by now you would have pipe cut & be 1/2 done with the build???

I've had some experience with a 30+ foot flag pole & high winds. Your pole is going to be overloaded with 1 4x6 flag, 2 will be a disaster waiting to happen. My pole is 2" lower & 1.5" top with all joints reenforced with welded on angle iron. Had a 4x6 flag for a while & the pole swayed a whole...

A few days ago went to take a shower. Waters cold - Out of Propane. - No big deal - Just load the tank & go get it filled. Along the way drive out in the desert a little way & let the girls run & hunt. Grab a couple of small trees (Dead ) for fire wood. Get home & hook up tank. Sort of pulled...

To bad you are so far away, would be more than glad to help you. I started playing with them in about 1958 ( Along with control line ). Its a great sport ( A downer now & then.) I have probably tough well over 100 people to fly. Best advice is the join the AMA & find a club near you. Most clubs...

There are times when I envy you fols with lots of big trees & lots of wood to split & stack. But when I see the pictures with all the snow & ice, the envy goes away & I am happy with the "Crappy wood I get & burn. I much prefer mesquite, but any wood will do. In the pictures is wood to cut &...

It is suppose to cut 150 1/.5" limbs on a single charge. cute little guy When stealing (semi legal) wood don't want the noise of a regular saw. Most trees around here are fairly small, just want to cut notch so it pulls down easily. Legal to cut dead & down wood & enough for a camp fire. maybe a...

Well I went & did it. Ordered this miniature chain saw. Sure hope it works, 60 day warranty (return privileges) & 1 year on battery. Brand new $50, with free shipping. Anybody ever see one or use one????

That appears to be an old time peddlers truck, that called on people in rural areas. here are a couple of fun ones.

I have a desire to make a double barrel handgun. It will only be used to shoot snakes (Rattlers - killed 7 last year). only shell will .22 short or possibly rat shot. Probably start off with a single barrel, then the double. If success is high, might even build a "Pepper Box" six shot some day...

Does anyone here use it??? I hate their commercial, way to long, on at least once an hour, if not more, & on every channel that I watch. My two hands don't work together very good anymore. Way too much time is spent re typing things. :confused3:

Here are a couple of pictures of the Gray Squirrel that has moved in. No Idea how he got here, closest habitat for them is over 60 miles away. He / She (??) likes to feed on the bird block. - Another Road Runner picture. It dug something out of the ground to her left. After tossing it out...

Feeding the birds is a very small part of the problem. Been feeding them for years. The drouth is a major factor. I had very few rodents until this year. Then they came in droves mostly for water. New are 1 Gray Squirrel, (Should not be here at all) lots of chip monks. plus rats & mice. Think...

Right in the middle of a day of problems, this guy showed up. I was working on the cooler when Bobby let me know we had a snake. Not more than 15 feet away, it was under the house. 2 Hits & 1 miss with BB rifle & he was still wanting to bite. Little shovel did him in. #7 This year. Here are...

Is this good enough for you?? - - - - - -1

They Just Keep Coming. Rattler #6. Around 8:30 I heard the familiar sound. Dogs saying snake. Opening front door, I could hear the buzzing. Get trusty pellet rifle, small sharp shovel and go looking. Sounded like it was under the house. Nope, under a stack of plywood. After moving, there it...

The Mexican Air Force has landed. Boon's hat band is all gone. Picture 1 & 2 are the first buzzard to land. he was joined by the other guy & they shared for a little while. Then buzzard #3 showed up & chased them off. Then they chased it off. The chasing went on for quite a while, until there...

A Place For Us These have helped get me through some tough losses. They still make me cry like a baby though. Me to Cry - Thank You Happy Days Pictures -- - - - - -

Once they are dead, I just put them out for the Mexican Air Force. (Turkey Buzzards). Don't even save the rattles.

Today was Rattler #5 killed. Yesterday one got away, I think this is probably it. It was too far under the motor home to reach with a 6' pole. Today dogs sounded off with their snake bark. Sure enough it was under the house. Had my small sharp shovel & a pellet rifle loaded with BB'S. First shot...
