Those things are shot on sight...right! Inside 100 yds a 22 Mag works great. My Dad used to eat them but then he learned they were good (?) during the "dust bowl" and depression. He wouldn't eat possum which confused me as young boy...shows good judgement to me.

18F is part of the "warm up" for the weekend. Nothing falling from the sky so I'll take it.

My friend in Southern Alberta sits on the front step with his 17 mag and a good scope and will pick off 30 to 50 a day in the field. Bad for the cattle. He just leaves them for the Golden Eagles and hawks and owls that have nests all around the field. He said now they just sit in their nests and wait for the shot. Haha
Sounds fun

Our power is off since about 7:30 this morning. Entergy is saying be back on around noon Saturday.

Trees down on power lines in roads too. We got stove going filled up tank earlier.

Do you have a generator

[Caper]

This is it for a bit.

Is that a Big Buddy
I have one and a couple small ones and a salamander. Plus the generator that would run three homes. Oh and I also have a 2,000 w gen in the basement still in the box. My wife says I go overboard. 😂 Oh and about 20 flashlights and about 40 packs of batteries.
Can you tell we had a bad experience with Juan. Never again

I’ll bring my chainsaw over and help you cut it down. I’ve cut many off the top of houses up here, gets a little tricky when it’s at the edge of the house. You need to put a brace under it so it doesn’t fall on the rest of your house. Can be done without any more damage. And not rent a crane.

Smitty to the rescue, I wish, 9' to the bottom of the platform, just came in today. But won't be much help with that.View attachment 372633

That looks like the one I saw at JD
Cool
Your going to be using it for cutting trees, right Wallace. 😊

That looks like one of those Korean Kabota's.

I’d take one.

How's it holding up?

754 hours and no problems until there was. I'm getting significant "jerking" from the hydralics on the 3 pt. Dealer mechs don't have a clue...bring it in and we'll take a look at it. $350 to pick it up and $135/hr looking. Never had a tractor I coulsn't fix but this one has electronic codes like cars, etc and they don't loan out their code reader. So, yes it's done well until now.

It is the hunting house. My brother was there. That tree has been a worry for many years. Yea @Smitty335 your rig is a little short that's a 2 story house. I haven't got a firsthand look at it yet.

Is it just like a code reader for a car or truck. I mean same codes ?
My brother is a diesel mechanic and good with hydraulics. I can ask him if he can think of anything if you want.

Hopefully no holes punched in the roof. Not too big a deal if it did. Just lift the shingles around and cut the plywood or boards square around the hole and screw on some cleats for the new wood and screw them on. Paper then reshingle. I just did a friend’s from Feiona. Then we rented the manlift and cut the other two down around the house from the top down. Looks like you might need to do the same. I’ll bring my chainsaw over and get started. 😊
You know I would if I was a little closer. Good luck brother. Keep me informed.

I'll give you half the wood if you cut it up.

I’ll be right over.
It’s definitely a lot colder here, and getting colder. -10 now, going down to -25 feels like -45 tonight. C and F at that temperature is the same.

Someone will likely take that deal for you.

You split?

Well its off again. We got stove going again. Its a big stove. So far it is holding to about 64 in house.

I'm having trouble with quietness in house while trying sleep.

Your stove is unvented I suppose, if it is don't forget to crack a window for fresh air. Carbon Monoxide can build up pretty quickly.

Ice, sleet and snow are on a fast retreat, got up to 48* and full sun today, took it awhile to get there but I like the results!
