Woah, daddy-o..like man, smoking pine needles..like, that's cool. Not strictly dullsville for you in the wilderness. The crack of dawn is like cool, man, cool..I can dig it.

I spent a couple of hours out mid morning. Temp was 22 with a stiff breeze from the North and a wind chill of about 8. We received a dusting of dry snow overnight. Just enough to quieten things down. I passed by a 40 foot, flat bottomed ravine with a small brook in the bottom and there, at the bottom, stood three nice doe sheltered out of the wind. We just stood and stared at each other for a few minutes before I continued on. Of course, they scampered when I turned to walk away so I watched them bound down the ravine and around a bend. Squirrels were everywhere. What a great way to start a new year!

what i learned the last two weeks is that you can never be prepared enough, with a sudden back injury it has really slowed me up from what i had planned for my two weeks off, some things i had put of thinking i would have plenty of time to do, so i spent most of my time moving very slow couldn't work on my house that i'm trying to sell or work on the barn at the new place which is slowing our plans up, need to strech more this year may be some more sit ups to strenghten my core help prevent this from happening in a cricial moment. funny thing is everyone keeps telling the wife that they can't picture me helpless at 6' 4" 230lbs full of tattos they are used to me being the pillar of strenght kind of funny how ppl choose to see you.

I have learned and made two working bow and drill set's that (knock on wood) have produced a coal each time I have tried , used an old ceder fence post . Next ambition : a working fire plow set , and to practice more in incliment weather.

went to look at a horse today, spotted appy just like the wife loves and i told her about it, now what do ya thinks gonna happen, man me and my big mouth, although the draft horse was nice too, maybe if i buy her one she won't notice the other one in the barn..

[nell67]

LOL ya think she's gonna miss that big ol' draft,eh? Just tell he it is to help with the chores,she'll understand,LMAO!

[Rick]

Just tell her he's survival rations.....

[nell67]

RICK... dont go there

[wareagle69]

i'll pm ya her number how bout you call and tell her that but first give me a three hour head start down the road..

[nell67]

Ok will do,LOL hey in a situation where you couldnt get gasoline for farm equipment,they do excellent feild work,kinda getting used to seeing the Amish turn the ground over for the garden around here now.

[nell67]

oops just noticed that was for Rick,LOL I'll start digging his grave now,so when she finds him we can just roll him into it!

[Rick]

She won't get mad about him being in the barn then would she? Just use a little psyco...sycho....sic...fetchin' up on her.

[wareagle69]

alot of menonittes moving up this way plan on buying meat from them way better than store bought stuff

[nell67]

I just saw a sign the other day where one family of the Amish here are selling bulk foods,gonna check into that soon,I would love to learn there way of life.

[wareagle69]

wife loves her critters wouldn't matter what i brought home just can't call any of them dinner or supper or lunch or breakfast or snack or..

[wareagle69]

in a shtf scenario the amish and menonites wouldn't even notice those ppl are my role models

[nell67]

I know me too,I have met a few of them around here,the women dont talk much (oops there goes my chance of getting adopted by them,LOL!) THey are a real friendly bunch of people though,most of my neighbors are Amish since we moved last winter.

[nell67]

A few of them actually are using gasoline powered engines here now,and that just seems sooo odd to me,plus if you get a "job" driving them around town or to other counties,they pay very well.
