BTW that's a nice Cherokee. I'm not a plane guy but the plane does seem very nice. The previous owner did the paint and interior a few years ago and it looks brand new. When they bought this plane they took the guy who had cared for it for years as part of the deal . My buddy put a rub mark on the tail pushing it into the stall and the caretaker spotted it right off . . . He told the owner; "you scratched my plane!!!"

BillyJack Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 At one time I had just grass in the corner and later I landscaped the whole corner. Because I wasnt using the sprinklers at the time, I planted a large shrub and lilac.the corner where the shrub is isnt s problem where the lilac is it grew right into the sprinkler. I finally got ot loose enough to pull the sorinkler head out. I use Humter PGP's in there and way too large for flowers and shrubs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post treeslayer Posted August 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 well since i cut my thumb in half and while that heals we did some short trips, St Francis Basilica in Dyresville Iowa, watched a barge at Lock and Dam #11 lock thru, went to a granddaughters baseball game and a very appropriate sign on the fence and lastly the view at the end of our street about 50 yards away 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post drzaius Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Last night we had dinner with 3 other couples that were all close friends in high school to plan a trip together to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. We last travelled together about 6 years ago when we spent 3-1/2 weeks in Greece and Italy. That was a fantastic vacation. We all travel together very well. We are spread out a bit and only see each other every year or two, but we all formed such a strong bond of friendship way back in the day. It has remained strong and we really enjoy each others company. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who pass in and out of your immediate life that seem like you just talked to them yesterday when you haven't seen them for years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Only 1 pair of feet. The cost guard doesn't recommend bringing children smaller than 16 lbs onto a boat becuase certified PFDs don't fit them proprely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Plus, I’ve never seen an infant PFD accepted well by a little one. Typically a lot of squirming and sometimes screaming, so either the little one stays on dry land or there’s not much “feet up” time if they ride along. Maybe you’ll get luckier than us and all of our friends Wasn’t until they got a bit bigger and fit in the toddler size PFD that they were more comfortable and could understand why they need to wear it even though they don’t want to that they started enjoying boat rides and such. Best is when they fit in the (USCG approved) “puddle jumper.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post legenddc Posted August 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Had a pretty crazy thunderstorm on Friday that included the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard. Found out a tree across the street from us was hit by lightning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Looks like the trunk was burst open like a hotdog in a microwave. If that tree comes down, I'm not sure the wood will be much good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the lightening there could be some really cool impacts on the wood. It might result in a large percentage of loss or waste but how cool would it be to have lightening struck wood? Maybe I'm too optimistic but all wood can be good wood it just depends on if your willing to do the work to make the wood usable. I can't count how many people that I've meet that HATE boxelder trees. I've changed quite of few of their minds once I show them the unique red flames that can often be present in side the tree.

legenddc Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Most of the trees around here end up being hollow when they’re cut down. One was filled with concrete. The tree company went through a lot of chains cutting that down! I was given a turning class for my birthday at Rockler so the next tree that gets cut down I’ll try to save a bunch and make some things.
