Charlie, you've been waiting for a "wash" like that!! Now you might actually be able to see where you've mowed when you get started:laughing:

Don, I'll mention this, but I know you have it covered. Good to be current on Rabies vacs for pets in the country that "tangle" with the locals:laughing: Sounds to me like a coon, even more so if you've had visitors at the pool. Stealthcams have a very good reputation in the hunting community< I have had poor luck with Moultrie products, so I avoid them like the plague. Wildlife Innovations are reasonably priced, (sold at WalMart), but have been hit or miss for me. I bet one of those would do fine on your pourch.
Whatever you get, make sure and get an SD card or two, much more convenient to swap out cards and view on your PC.

Western, All pets are spayed and have all their yearly vaccinations, I've seen more than one rabid coon acting drunk in the middle of the day. I don't know if was fermented grapes or rabies but my pets are covered. Thanks for the suggestions on the wildlife camera.

I just started a new project and thought "this looks familiar". If you can figure what I'm making out of old fencing you should be a detective. (Hint it is not a wooden ratchet rake.)

Hmm. . . a comb for the jolly green giant? 1/2 of a string trellis? Sand screed for purdy-purdy around your pool? Am I gettin' warm? Give us a hint: House? Pool? Yard? Garden?

Last week I got home to find some equipment on my property. There was a well here when I bought the place. The well was capped a couple of years ago. So, we get rain one morning, and later that day, they show up, cutting ruts in the pasture. There was no one around over the weekend, for me to talk to, so I "assumed" they were going to re-open the well, and were getting ready to frack. Got home today, and they are out working. So, I went down to talk to someone and get info, since I have livestock in that pasture. Foreman is a nice (and cute) guy, and let me know, they are filling the well with concrete and I'll actually get to use that area for grazing too! Not expected to take but a few days. The well is going away COMPLETELY. I told him if he wanted to "leave" some of the pipe behind when the job is finished, I could "use" it. He informed me, anything they left, would be mine, but would likely need to be "cut". Told him that's no problem, I happen to have access to a cutting torch! Maybe I can get a few fence "H" posts out of the whole ordeal!

Now, I have to admit, I'll be glad to have an entire slew of workers off of the property, but if it takes more than a few days, that's OK too. The foreman really is nice "eye candy"!
