Sounds like a good day!

Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Still helping BWRR to build our beautiful chicken coop so I never have to buy another store bought chicken product again! One step closer to being self sufficient. Yahoo!
I apologize for nothing...
Sniper T is wondering if you have a kitty coop also I bet.
Hmmmm...great idea. I could go up to his place and catknap all of of his kitties and bring them here
I apologize for nothing...
You're always welcome for a visit LH... but once you get a kitty coop built I'll ship you all the kitties I can find! Where did I put that pitchfork again...

Is that what y'all consider catch and release up there?

How far away from your house is your bin? I've been wanting to do one for kitchen scraps but don't want it to be an eye sore. Now that we are getting chickens do I even need one? Do chickens eat pretty much all scraps? I was thinking that whatever grass clipping I get (which honestly isn't much if BWRR keeps up with the mowing) I could just dump into the chicken area. When I clean the straw from the coop should that be put into a compost pile or just spread out for then to scratch through? Thoughts?

My back yard is 134ft deep from the back door. It's all the way to the back. I also have a compost tumbler that is closer to the house so we'll not be lazy and actually take the scraps out there. I'll probably be moving the tumbler once its empty in the fall. We seem to have a fly issue this year, but I can't blame it on the tumbler, it never seems to have flies in it when its opened, but ve sprayed it with permethrin several times to be sure.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Ok. I'm on a train for the next 4 hours, at a minimum, so I'm gonna use the time to catch up with ya'll.
I've discussed the Kershaw I got for my birthday already, and referenced my property improvements. Those are relevant simply because I've progressed nicely in using my chainsaw. No wood large enough I've needed to notch it yet, but I've managed to clear 280' x 20' -ish of property line without cutting or dropping a tree on myself. Progress.
I've learned of an underground greenhouse called a walipini. I'll get a thread up discussing that soon. I've bought a Sawyer mini-filter rated to .1 micron, which means it should even block e. coli, which damn near took my ass out once. I also picked up some wetfire tinder for the first time. I have yet to use either. I grabbed a 2 ounce can of Sabre Red Pepper Gel for a family dispute. I was disappointed it remained undeployed on Wednesday because I wanted to be able to post a review of its effectiveness here. My favorite scores, though, have been the Crossbreed appendix holster and mag carrier , or maybe the SOE Low Profile EDC belt, and a combat cock. So far I've only slapped one person with that last so its hard to decide
The garden is growing very well this year. A couple neighbors have stopped and asked us if we planned on selling the excess or feeding the whole county! Lol. For the first time since we started our onions have grown. We've already harvested some zuchinni, a pile of strawberries, and well over a gallon of pickling cucumbers that we've brined and refrigerated. All 10 of our asparagus plants are up.
I'm down 30 pounds from where I started this summer, despite no recent gym activity. The shift to a day schedule tore me up for a bit, and now my lower back is screaming again and I suspect I may also have an inguinal hernia. The dr. appointment is already set for next week.
Despite that, I also managed to stack about 6 weeks of firewood in my shed yesterday, with another two months worth sitting outside ready to be split. No frozen, wet wood to fight with this winter! That sucked last year.
This summer really has been insane, really. One big push to get all of the projects done that we have in the works. I haven't even gotten my AR out to zero it yet! I have a 100 yard range in my yard and its been ready to go since this winter. Pistol is different though, I've at least had those out because I've been playing range safety officer and instructor for a couple of my dad's friends. I'm finding the interest in teaching somebody how to do things safely and properly has really upped my awareness of my own shortcomings. I still have a long way to go with the one, but we got her familiar enough with different guns that I was comfortable taking her to help select her first one. She's in her 70's, so this took some time, and we settled on a Ruger LC 380 because it felt good and she could work the action/ controls without issue.
With that I'll say I also got to handle a Tavor at that shop. I want one now.
