things round here # 2

Things have been going good, not only for us but all our friends to the south. The Midlands are finally drying out, but the damage is done and much work is needed to fix what the flooding destroyed.

  A couple of weeks ago Senior bought us this double burner stove. When the new house is done, we will be moving it into a storage building that will sit right out from the side porch, I will move my umpteen canning jars, and all the supplies in that as well. Thus making it the canning supply room.
 Senior had Monday off for the Columbus Day. So we did some potatoes. The best part is being able to have two pressure cookers running at the same time. It is also great in case of emergencies, just another way to be prepared for whatever life throws you.

ND was about to pee his pants to finally cut his pumpkin, The kid is so excited about Halloween that he  couldn't stand it any longer. While it was no where near the size it could have been, it isn't bad. Bigger then a basketball, and weighs around 10-15 pounds. Next year though we will get them in the ground much earlier.

  Libby absolutely despises "Black Jack"the rooster and I believe the feeling is mutual.The two crack me up when they get started going at it. On this day his feathers were getting incredibly ruffled and he was trying to spur her through the wire.

 

 

 

It is turning much cooler here, lows will be in the 30s next week.We have enjoyed beautiful fall weather, and keeping the windows open. It is a welcome break from the drought and hot temps of the summer.  Have a blessed Day...    -JUGM

To the Ignorant person.....

 In my family, namely my brother...who I swear said the following during a heated argument over whether I would or would not pack myself  and the kids up to drive down to FLA and take mom to an appoinment:

" Ya know sis you don't really work. Your a stay at home mom..yea right! there are other mothers out there that actually do have a job, so stop acting like its your effin cross to bear"

Well Mr. JackA$$ today this girl, picked, shucked, de-cobbed, cleaned out the corn field and loaded the old stalks for Senior to carry over to the neighbors cows...
And TRUST ME...trying to de-cob some 100+ ears of corn, while cooking dinner and keeping peace between two boys is no easy task!

So Don't tell me we housewives, and stay at home moms DON'T WORK!!!!!!!

We can't all sit on our posh water front property sucking down beers by the pool while calling our 80+ year old parents and harrassing them with profanity..some of us actually do give a damn about our family.
What a "Son of the Year" he is!

 

Besides the fact I am entirely Pissed off right now...the look on this cows face does crack me up! She is like " this is some good S----"

UPDATE: Iron Maiden Project Pt. 2

We finally got all the parts in for the build. First item received was the ATI 6 position collapsible folding composite stock, with cheek piece. Second was the Pro-Mag extended height piccatiny rail, center portion of the rail is hollowed out to allow for use of the iron sights. Third item is a 4x32 scope, and finally we got a OD green neoprene sling.

Barrel and receiver assembly was removed from a Ruger 10/22 walnut stock, simple tools were used for the build, a Phillips and flat head screwdriver and 2 Allen wrenches.

The build took less time then it did for us to can 6 quarts of corn.
