Sunday Pic of the Day

[BigHornRam]

Let's see. Ive been cutting firewood every year for over 50 years. At 10 I was told to take the saw and go gather wood. Every year, dropping trees, cutting in lengths, load in truck, unload at home. Cut in to blocks. Split by hand. Ive never cheated. First year using the tractor to move wood from my cut zone on one side of the shop to opposite side where I store it.
I'll wager my property against yours you couldn't keep up.
Let me know when you are ready.

Natural gas fireplace is cheating.



Wife said if I want to continue cutting and burning wood, it's happening outside in a firepit from now on.

Fair week is finally coming to an end here. Week started off terrible with the daughters 4h showmanship/market goat sticking its head in a hole and getting stuck and dying 3hrs before weigh in so she had to take her alternate goat which was a scrawny little thing. Was early morning starting Wednesday showing her rabbit, Thursday morning showing her goats for showmanship, market, and breeding classes, Friday morning showing her pig, Saturday morning she was called back to do the round robin, and Saturday afternoon was the sale. Youngest even got to show her goat in the open class this year.

Man that's some poor timing. Those goats will do the damndest things. Had one do something similar a few years ago shoved it's head between panels couldn't get out and suffocated itself.

Traveled through the Park on the way to Wyoming earlier this week. Turned 62 last month, so bought the Lifetime Senior pass at the entrance.



Traffic was not as bad as expected for this time of the year. East entrance was very quiet.

Been a great summer. Lots of great Sunday pics. Avalanche lake in pouring rain with younger ones was memorable.

It’s the season, but the nighttime photo shows that it’s a little too close to home.

Building up steam over Wyo yesterday evening, hope we can squeeze one more day at camp without getting smacked.

Just messing with you. But if you really want to come to my place and “show me how it’s done”, I’ve got plenty of standing dead trees and a half empty wood shed…

All in good fun.
Sure, I'll take a load and drop some trees and get them limbed and cut in to lengths for you.

It's not cheating when you are physically building your own house.
Hats off to ya @BigHornRam

Which fire are the pics off?
Hard to believe we were paddling on Ennis lake in the morning and 287 was closed that afternoon.

Been in the new house a year now , for some reason the praying mantis really like my yard, I always have four or five around the house all the time

Cool guys , I have three that are almost 4 inches long this summer

This is the Biven’s creek fire in the Tobacco Roots. 10 miles from my house as the crow flies.

The McAllister fire on Norris Hill is 3,500 acres now. Crazy to think it was caused by lightning from that storm, then was several hundred acres within a few minutes due to wind.
