I was thinking, if the Trump Humpers can convince themselves that Trump won the election - maybe they can convince themselves that Biden is dead ...

i gotta admit, he aint far from it now, lol. if he dies in office, can we just haul his ass to a good taxidermist & leave him in charge? maybe have him freeze-dried? i'd vote for a dead Biden (well-stuffed, of course) again over The Chump...

I created this thread to talk about living in the country....the good, the bad, and the funny...

Let's leave the politics out of it...

Go to the speaker's corner if you wanna raise your blood pressure and angst..

You realize that Spring has finally arrived and there just aren't enough hours to spend outside....

So much stuff to do after a long, cold lonely winter!

My backyard.
Good place to grow pot ? Maybe if you have some water stashed.

Went shooting after being stuck at home planting corn for a few weeks.
Trying to concentrate on "rapid response" shooting, 1 second between shots.
Sometimes I sit there and stare at the reticle for 30 seconds until it lines up and the rifle feels completely still.
@300 yards.
Trying to balance a 165 grain Copper bullet and a Lapua 170 grain full metal jacket.
Give the Lapua an extra 1/2 grain of powder and they shoot about exactly the same.

$14 pork dinner from the local grange hall

oh great, just great. it aint like i wasn't already damn starving, you know! looks good...

Yeah, I guess it looks good, but I don't think it looks $14 dollar good....

(Damn, I'm turning into a grouchy old bastard....) I remember starting out as a carpenters helper for $2.50 per hour..That Styrofoam box woulda been more than 5 1/2 hours pay
(of course minimum wage was $1.75 back then!)

Yeah, $14 a tad high. These are like $3.

It's over a mile to the mailbox. After a blizzard, takes all day to bobcat the way to get the mail. When you get there, the county hasn't cleared the 'good' roads, so no mail. Wind changes directions during the night. Rinse and repeat.

Must cross two cattle guards to get to house. Six miles to anything looking like pavement.

Well died. Must haul all water from town. Nearest town in a dozen miles away, and i don't think there's even a traffic light.

Neighbors are cows. Rarely see them, pasture is not used until just before winter, when they are driven across the river to 'home'.

Coyotes work in packs like wolves, during winter.

No trees here, and on a hill, so can see for miles. Watch the wildlife doing their thing. Watched coyote chasing deer. Watch Northern Harriers sweep the prairie and they nest on property. Wildlife photographer dream property. Occasional moose. Deer, mostly Mulies, nearly every day, they cross property to the spring that runs all year. Sharptails and pheasant. Gophers, actually ground squirrels (striped ones and Richardson's) for sport. I'm better at trapping than shooting, eyes are going.

Just saw a very rare event. Three of my racing pigeons forced a large female Northern Harrier to the ground and kept her there for quite a while. These Harriers are huge, well, at least in wing span. Usually, the racers just go inside the loft when they see the Harriers, but these three went ballistic. Not real happy about it. The Harriers don't mess with the pigeons, they are more into gophers and snakes and voles. Oh, maybe they will mess with birds on nests, i know the blackbirds hate them.

Eyesight is going, hoping that science will save us from moving to...argh, town.
