Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
So true Ed. Often times the scariest part is just getting started. Once you commit and tear it apart, we’ll then you have to stick with it and get it done.
I didn’t do much with the planter yesterday. I decided to do something with that river cane shaft. If your curious it’s posted in the arrow section. Obsidian point, two fletch build.
I think it might be headed somewhere special.

Good thread Bj. Ill be following along.
Thats some big equipment.
Maybe come April when things get moving around here I'd have something to add. Ought to get started planting Peppers and Toms in the greenhouse in about a month.

Thanks Mike. Look forward to seeing what you grow. I think that’s a big reason I do this. I just love watching it all grow. Harvest is alway sad but sweet.
Actually some of the neighbors have much bigger and better equipment. A couple have planters three times as wide. We get along pretty good with this size though.
I had to take my wife to the eye specialist today and my daughter to the ear specialist. Took all day but at least good reports.
I think I have a meeting in the morning and some banking to do.
Have more Biosolids coming Wednesday and snow on the way.

Well yesterday was spent getting ready for the big snow storm we’re supposed to get today, along with getting ready for more Biosolids due to arrive today.
This morning is one of my good friends funeral. I’ve talked about Gary before. Even had pictures of him in a article I wrote for primitive archery magazine.
Gary was a true inspiration. He was in a farm accident 16 years ago and has been in a wheelchair ever since. I have always been so impressed with his attitude. He wasn’t one to feel sorry for himself and definitely made lemonade when all he got was lemons.
Before Gary’s accident he loved hunting and walking. He walked several miles every day and hunted every chance he got. He even went to Africa and talked about it a lot.
After his accident he worked hard at getting any movement back he could. He couldn’t even “squeeze “ his trigger finger. He had to move his whole hand to pull his trigger.
His kids modified his wheelchair and mounted his rifle on it. The whole family went back to Africa and enjoyed another hunt there. Gary took a couple really dumb ones as he said. They had to be dumb for him to get them. Kinda like me hunting with my stick.
My buddy Randy was a fantastic friend of Gary’s. The two of them spent countless hours hunting groundhogs and trying to lower the population for the local farmers. They averaged over 200 a year with Gary shooting most of them. I’m really going to miss him. He won’t be forgotten. Every time I see a ground hog I will certainly be reminded of him. It’s pretty fitting that his funeral will be on ground hog day.
He’s out of his chair and got his wings now. RIP Gary.

My friend Gary has a lot of hunting trophies. None of them meant as much to him as this one.
