Thought i'd share some various pictures i had. We took family pictures last week to support the local PTA. While we waited on the pro-photo shooter we shot some of our own. Here's my daughter sitting on an old hitchin' rail. Musta been for BIG horses as it was built out'a power poles.
The pro-photographer had lots of people to shoot so we wandered around the old place chosen as a backdrop. This old cabin was built in 1880.
Next are some pictures i took at my parents house on Thanksgiving day. We had lots of good groceries and a good visit. They live a couple miles away from us. This is my Mom's buck taken in 84 or 85.
My Dad's muzzleloader buck he got a couple years ago. At the time his knee's were really bad and he could hardly walk. He was sure happy to hang a tag on this buck. Since then he's had both knee's replaced and is cruising around like he's 25!
Here's my Mom and Daughter with my Grandmothers big buck. We call him "old moe" and he is a brut. 38 inches wide and had a giant body.
Hailey and "old moe". Grandma tracked him all day after missing him early in the morning. He was in thick cedar's and wouldnt give her a 2nd chance. The next morning she picked up his track at 1st light and jumped him in the last pocket of trees before the desert. She shot him with her 32 special open sites rifle. At the shot another giant buck took off. Grandma always said her buck would have escaped but the other buck caused him to stop. From the tracks the other buck was there first and "Old moe" came in after dark and held up with him. We have an old picture of him in a studebaker truck. The bed is 8 feet long and his head hangs over the tailgate with his butt against the cab.
Next are a couple of shots from yesterday after then big meal. I took Hailey out looking for some coyotes that have been hanging around. We tried calling but they must have been full of turkey. My hunting buddy!
Dad and daughter! You may be a redneck if ya celebrate Thanksgiving by calling coyotes!
Today i took atvantage of the decent weather to repair a shed that a micro-burst tried to destroy. The 2 by 8's were almost ripped in half.
My trusty packmule and a good shed post I cut a week or so ago.
Some weaners who wanted to check my work! They approved the posthole depth and allowed me to proceed.
Jacked up the shed and braced it. Planted the new post and cut it to fit.
Now that the new support is in place, i can repair and make the beam better. Wished for a new 2 by 8 but don't always get what ya wish for!
Re-inforced the beam with a rough-cut 2 by 8. Installed a pinepole below it to hold the weight and to better fight the wind! It ought'a be good enough to shelter cattle even if Bob Villa could do it better.
