Spot Sharing
I would lie to my own mother about turkeys. Deer I dont care as much about giving out info because most people arent willing to walk where I walk to hunt them. When I'm out west I usually try to exchange info with people hunting a different species.- np307

2026 Garden
3/4 black poly tubing with 1/2 drip emitter tubing. I think I ordered most of it from dripworks. Im not sold on the drip tubing though, especially for my climate. Currently I have the perimeter of each bed lined with the drip tubing but I think I at least need a line down the center as well. I...- np307

9/11 Lest we forget
This is my first year teaching, I have 7th graders for world history. We detoured from the chapter we are on to spend each class talking about 9/11. I shared with them my personal memories of the day, as well as the overall series of events that day. 7th graders can be a handful but there wasnt...- np307

Pulled the last of the watermelons this week. Only summer plants left are cherry tomatoes and peppers. Lettuce and spinach is in the ground, cabbage and broccoli going in this week too.- np307

Is your mall crawler ready to go?
Pulled the pipe rack (but left the headache rack) and put on a toolbox this weekend. Need to rotate the tires next time I change the oil but looks like they'll have plenty of tread for WY in October. Tundra is humming along. Did a blackstone analysis back earlier this year and the results were...- np307

Tomatoes only uptake calcium through the roots. Blossom end rot is technically caused by a lack of calcium but that is almost always ultimately caused by inconsistent watering. If watering has been consistent and enough, then amending the soil with calcium is the next step.- np307

I think I'd have to call the watermelon that my boy made me plant the most successful plant of the garden this year. This is the second watermelon its put off and it has 3 more that will be ready over the next couple weeks. I got one squash off the survivor squash plant before the last heat wave...- np307

Metalworking Hunttalkers!
School started this week. And for the first time in a long time, that mattered for my schedule. Last year at this time I was figuring out how to close a business down after the death of my friend (and boss). In May I was approached about taking a teaching position at the Christian school I...- np307

Anybody got a private jet? Those who remember the pictures I posted from Madagascar a few years ago, well I got a phone call and a picture from the missionary there this week. Turns out a local shop ran the drain plug on the transmission of his land cruiser down with an impact and cracked the...- np307

2026 Garden
7 inches of rain over the weekend brought a good chunk of the state back to decent water levels. I've taken on a new career path so the garden has been a little neglected this past few weeks. Still getting plenty of tomatoes and peppers. Second planting of squash already attacked by vine borers...- np307

Tomatoes still doing okay. I didnt support them great but some of the vines found the welded wire trellis so we should be good. Second planting of squash is growing well. Probably 3 weeks out from the first pickings there. Second watermelon is almost ready. Got a bunch of cayennes I need to dry...- np307

2026 Garden
First peach harvest from the tree we planted a couple years ago. Not bad. A little small but thats to be expected. Texture is a little bleh but the flavor is really good. Waited a little too long on these so I may make a small batch of jelly from them. Not a great picture because I picked them...- np307

Depends on the budget. I have a yeswelder 200 and I've been pleased with it so far. I dont trust it to last forever but for the price I couldn't justify jumping up to the next tier of machine. Harbor freight used to be the budget no-brainer but they've gotten a little proud of their machines.- np307
