My cousin found a picture of my great grandfather's blacksmith shop in Allegan, MI.
View attachment 199221

This was probably taken between 1900 and 1915. My great grandfather died from being kicked by a horse when my grandfather was young and he was born in 1908. Ironic, I know.

Heck, my great grandparents were still in Poland. My grandparents immigrated around 1900 to Chicago.

Morning all. The dogs in my home seem to think that as the sun begins to peek up toward horizon line they should wake me up.

Coffee and news time.

I don 't know when the "Hough" name got over here, but I have ancestors in America going back to the 1600s. One was hanged as a witch in Salem in 1692.

Is that what they called lawyers back then?

Witches and Houghs? The ladies in your family must have been interesting.

Looks like we'll finally have a decent week of weather. Seeing 3-4 80s for the upcoming week

More importantly, they are not forecasting any good chance of rain. Maybe it will dry up for more than a day or two

Just picked up side of beef a couple weeks ago. Good to go

Whew. Nipsco is picking up our fridge on Friday and Lowe's is delivering our new one on Saturday. Both will involve either runnig a truck or a dolly across our back yard up to the deck. Hopefully the ground will dry out by then.

Anyone want a tactical rifle hard case? It's a Plano model 1074200.

Should be a good week to start working on the garden.

 

[d.kaufman]

Noticed had a section of my privacy fence leaning. Have 2 posts rotting and weak. Only 10 years since I put that side of then fence up, but is the side near the garden so it sees a lot of water.

Trip to Lowes and some swinging of a hammer, have those posts back to sturdy again.

These work pretty well but the bump out for driving them into the concrete is small and makes it hard to get a good solid strike

When we moved here, we thought “Finally somewhere that has more than 5-6 days of rain a year!” But several times since we got here, my wife has wondered when the rain would stop, hahaha.

Worked in S Carolina for a few years. Some of the people I worked with could trace their ancestors to the Mayflower. Thought that was awesome. No one mentioned any witch hangings!
