Welcome Cracker.

Welcome to the thread Cracker!

Now that is heavy deer trafic Dave. Where were they hiding the first season?

Neighbors aren't feeding them anymore, so they're moving around a bit more.

hahahahaha I guess!

that is a lot of traffic! but did you see any?

welcome Cracker, great idea on the cistern, Dave have you thought about rigging something like that up? make for a fun summer project, I'll have a few weeks in may I can volunteer if you need a hand with anything. I like projects like that.

Yeah our old shack on the iron range had the poor mans version of that, a rain barrel

We'd use that water for cleaning dishes & stuff.

Hey welcome Cracker, I hope you are finding some entertainment in the posts here on the campfire forums.

For our water out at camp I plan to sink a PVC pipe in the ground maybe 12 to 16 feet with small holes drilled in the bottom 2 feet or so. Probably something like a 6" to 8" pipe. Basically a shallow well casing. Then I'll drop a 1" black pex tube down in there about 10' or so & we'll draw the water up out of the casing with the hand pump that Dusty bought for the camp.

It still wont be drinking water but it should be some really good water for cleaning up & doing dishes. It should work in the winter too with the pump pulling from below the frost line. (maybe )

plenty o' water in that ditch coming in dave, get some pails for the kids to put on they're heads and let em' carry to camp! thats what we do to lestifer! Wheres abouts is that floatin' bobber you got on the lake? should maybe paint it like a bobber i was thinkin. Be a dandy! Les was out at the DNR reef yesterday with no luck after 2. he ran out after work.

Der's a good idea!

I'm on the 5 mile, take the road out of swift ditch, you can't miss the big yellow marshmallow.

Linda and I went to Barnes&Noble book store yesterday.Naturally the first thing we do when we get in the door is hit the in-house Starbucks.Stepped up in line behind a young Marine in Class A's who had just finished ordering some type of coffee drink.I told the girl at the register to put whatever he had ordered on my tab.Had a chance to chat with him for a few while waiting on our orders.Nice young man.Had already been two tours in Iraq.Always thank "our guys" for their service and buy them a drink.
I received my reloading dies and 100 each 170 grain Hornady "Interlock" bullets for the 30-30 I bought Christmas eve.I just ordered them from Midway Tuesday night and they get here today.Good service.
Bright sunshiny and 53 degrees here today.
Cracker,welcome to the best part of 24HR.

Nice going Stan, he'll never forget that cup of coffee.

That was very nice of you Stan.

Your class is unmatched Stan. We need a county full of men like you, it would truly be a better place to live.

Speaking of class....I mounted the rings and my Redfield scope on the new Ruger tonight. It looks good. I really like the way this rifle carries.

I stepped out on the deck loaded the mag too. She feeds like a dream.

I am impressed by the Ruger M77.I'll bert it looks as good as it carries,Tom.

Stan, a big salute going out to you. That marine will not forget your act of kindness.

Kudos Stan, and he won't ever forget you. I have to run to the clinic in an hour, Bubba has a wicked cough that won't quit hardly slept last night
good luck to all who venture out fishin, reports down here are all pretty poor, no crappies yet, aside from the one I got a week ago

Went fishing, nothing again.

We did fair.. fish cleaning time.

It does Stan! Looks extra sharp with those stainless rings. I thought it might look a little goofy with the stainless rings, but you know what? I looks good.
