NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

After all that...ZERO flowers purchased. This shocks me not.

But, we did pick up some tomato plants and peppers for the garden. Plus, a bucket of strawberries.

Ya know, a couple Maker's before a trip like that make things a lot easier, Mr. Ambassador.

I'm going to have to store some in the vehicle. She wanted to go after going to the gym. Trapped!

Pretty good move on her part. You just need to do some more advance planning to get out ahead of things.

So I come back from town and I see my tractor parked sideway across the driveway . . .

This is my big tractor, not the lawn tractor ... while I was gone my wife thought she'd use it to mow the grass around the house. Never mind that there are lots of small trees. Never mind that there are some steep inclines. Never mind that there are some tight corners.

As I'm pulling into the driveway I look at the front end loader and there is a bunch of sod hanging from it. I look at the incline that is a few feet in front of the cutting edge and the grass has been stripped right off the slope.

Apparently it didn't occur to her that when you approach a steep incline the front end loader might hit the hill. Did I mention STEEP inclines? Basically she drove the front end loader right into the hillside

Hopefully nothing on the tractor got jacked up.
Anything photoworthy?

I think my UPS man is a ninja. He usually delivers around the same time. BAM! Ammo delivery the instant I wasn't looking. Didn't see or hear him.

Where the heck do I leave feedback for a private sale transaction? Its been a while since I have sold something, but just sold a rifle today and wanted to leave the guy some good feedback

Anybody else going to Winamac tomorrow?

Tractor is fine. Nothing photoworthy. Hillside slope has a nice dent and is missing a 6' wide by 2+' swath of grass. Its been sort of put back in place, but certainly doesn't look like a landscaper had installed fresh sod When nearly 7000# of tractor hits something it usually leaves a dent. So the hillside got the worst of the impact.

Thankfully we don't have any steep inclines. My wife only got our tractor stuck in the poop.

23 hours! Whew! Serious windshield time. Curious, why not fly instead?

 

[gunbunnies]

When going doggin it's a bit hard to travel with all the stuff to do the doggin part of the trip...

MTN, hope you get to shoot some dog towns... have fun...

Took all my guns and most of my ammo. Just thinking it would be pain in the arse to fly with all that. Plus it's cheaper to drive.
I spent under $100 on gas to get out here.

Im doggin on my in-laws property. I'm no professional prairie dog hunter. I do it to relax.

I was.
Looks like my destination changed.

 

[gunbunnies]

I'm no pro MTN..... but it is really addictive if you find a couple good dog towns to shoot.... Just saying...

Off to winamac and then to Mi to look at and purchase an 86 Honda Rebel for the wife.
