I am fortunate enough to be "owned" by the absolute best dog in the world...Mustang Sally, or Sally...aka "the Boss". She goes everywhere I go on foot, tractor, or truck. She weighs 75 lbs. but thinks she's a lap dog. The "Boss" comes from her propensity to investigate and inspect every ongoing project. She is extremely intelligent (Golden Retriever) and is an excellent bird dog as well (flushes, points and retrieves). She refuses to come to bed at night until she has been allowed out to make her rounds about the house and "curtiledge" and make sure all is okay. I am up at 4:15 AM typing this because she awakened me at around 3:30 because my blood sugar was dropping...yeah, she's that smart or has some extra sense or something. Gotta love my dog.

I served in the Army as a Infantry sq. leader the term "Grunt" was the sound we would make when we put on our gear (sometimes it was 70 lbs.)Although some might think its a put down, trust me having served as a grunt in nam in 66-67 seeing my share of combat has always been something to be proud of.

Good thread! I have been an analytical chemist for the last 28 years. Grew up on my parents dairy farm in northern NY in the '70's. No matter where life has taken me since then I have had vegetable gardens of various sizes and made friends in the ag community. These days I help out a local dairy farmer with everything from barn repair to tractor field work. I guess I'll always be a Farmer-at-Heart ...

Guess we got this puter about the same time I got my first 78 Goldwing, 78 wingrider didn't work, so I added S for my 2 nicknames. Aaron

Just kept it simple.

The "lh" stands for Lawson Hill, the name we gave to the farm after we took it over from my in-laws. My FIL always called the place "the hill" and we wanted to name the place and to honor him. Since my post are mostly about this place, I thought it would be a good ID.

The lower case L is often confused with an I and people assume it is IH - as in International. Otherwise it has worked well.

Thanks for asking.

Magicheater is the name of a hybrid masonry stove I built on top of a Lopi woodstove. Used it for many years before installing a boiler and in floor heat.

 

[Grand_Pooba]

Grand Pooba was what the other dads called me back in my Cubmaster days. I believe it came from the leader of the water buffalo lodge from the flintstones.
