She’s tryina stow-away too…

I caught Annie Oakley thinking about hiding in my Jeep too! Hahahaha.  She’s a really nice and fun blue heeler that runs the ranch!

I got to bush hog all day last week.

It was a fun day of work at Camp Jabez.  It’s fun to work on and use the equipment, and a good way to enjoy some fall colors that were starting to show off too.

Football scores at the hockey game this past week…

The Blue Jackets are having a rough start this year.

How is it possible…

…that I dropped my fork and it landed like THIS? Hahaha.  At least it didn’t hit the floor ;)

Such a cool find and a place of honor❣️

We found this isometric sketch when going through Steve and Janice’s stuff from their house across the street.  It’s what Steve had to do to get his permit for the addition we built.  Andy saw it and immediately knew he wanted to frame it for his apartment. These are the same kind of drawings he has to do for his plumbing work to get approved for permits.  Really cool!

Blade Show is coming to Indy next year…

Some of us might have to make a trip over there?!

Leftovers!

Of course I HAD to stop for some of these.  Their booth had leftovers from the sauerkraut festival.  I had wanted a few, but was too full to eat anymore when we were there.  So, I got my meals for the week here!❤️

Saw this place on the way home…

Look like it would be a good meal and dessert some day.

Long distance target practice

On the left shows the setup I was using and the targets off in the distance.  I decided it was time to make sure everything was still good on my 30-06.  Turns out it was still nicely dialed in.  On the right you can see a zoomed in shot of the targets. There are four distances, can you see them?  Red, white, blue and orange.  100, 200, 350 and 400 yards!  I got all the red, white and blue on the first try each.  I got the orange one three out of five times.  I was pretty happy with that.  It was an 18”x24” steel plate.

Such a pretty time of year and a perfect day for a ride!

Blazing new trails with a friend from the range

He gave me the chance to explore some of the woods and fields on his property before we did a little target practice.  Perfect day and time of year for it!

A cool, foggy, fall day

I was off on an adventure for a day of target practice and exploring with ATVs on a foggy day last week.  

I like the way Julie is using her new table

Julie’s new end table

We managed to find something that fit the spot well and was really cool at the same time. This is is a set of storage drawers for an old Addressograph machine.  The plates were used to print addresses for mass mailings back in the mid to late 1900’s. This cabinet was used to organize and store all the plates. :)

Fun with Andy’s tools

Andy got this set of forming dies to recover the ends of copper pipe if they get banged up.  He made up a test and they did an amazing job.  The big orange thing is a part I found for him during out antiquing.  I had sent him a picture of a huge display of tools, and he spied this in the mix.  He sent me back to grab it for him.  He needed one to go with the threader adapter for 2”-4” that he’d been contemplating on FB Marketplace, but was hesitant since it was missing this piece… Not any more!
