Has it really been since August that I updated? I'm really out of practice, I guess. Somehow managed to survive until my 40th year here on earth and with what better way to celebrate, but to manage to clean up the mess that is the garage enough to fit 3 vehicles in it again. I bribed my...

Man, that reminds me of my Hustler. Blew both front tires this year on similar dumb farm things. Glad that I got the engine cover plate thing for mine though, that thing is already beat on. I highly recommend it. Not sure why the SDs didn't come with it from the start. Great idea on the bungie...

Hah. License plate frame from the Hooters down the street from the house that I grew up in. LOL

Hah, that's not a bad idea. Especially as to not start attracting ants with the bait on the traps. Caught two more last night with snap traps though.

Put down about 6 snap traps on Monday. Caught 4 mice already. Guess I need to start keeping those up. Who knows how many of those suckers are lallygagging in my garage at night.

Yeah, my one cat is indoor/outdoor. She goes in the barn every so often, but usually putters around with me when I'm in the garage. She's not allowed in there full-time. I'm sure that they're getting in through the sliding door easily, since there's a giant gap between the door and the ground...

Stupid mice. You can see on the bottom left where they took chunks out of the insulation.

Whelp, three groundhogs down. Trapped and drowned them. Let that be a warning to the others..... who will not go near the trap now. Blast. I even hosed it out and cleaned it up everytime. I guess they don't want a delicious apple or strawberries. They just like picking mine out of the garden...

"DaBarn" Yeah. Been there a few times. We live about 15 minutes away from New Buffalo, so we end up there quite often.

All that and you didn't go to Redamak's? Hell, we had our rehearsal dinner there many moons ago. ;)

Ugh, I have this problem too. Maybe the dead possum that tried to crawl down one of the holes and got stuck will help. Hahaha.

Last guy that rear ended me (back when I had my Tacoma) destroyed his front bumper and core support. I had a ball hitch in at the time, as I had just come from dropping a trailer off and didn't take it out. He was driving a silverado, and it was his work truck. He begged me not to call the cops...

Hah. I did the same thing with an old tractor wheel for our fire pit. It works, so there's that.

My wife was admiring your Vonnegut family find when I showed her this thread the other day. Enough that she said, Kendallville, that's not far. Let's go over and give him $100 for it. Doubt that would happen, but she's into anything Vonnegut. ;)

We're just lucky that the tree didn't hit anything. It's just inconvenient, more than anything. Took out a bunch of large branches on a nearby pine and about half of a smaller tree on the way down. Yeah, the greenhouse... It's half filled with toys by my kids, and the other half is actual...
