I talked to an outdoorsy looking guy in Hilo airport. He wintered in Hawaii and summered on the Copper River. He was telling me about the high price for it back in 14. He said he just had kind of a small shack in Hawaii. Big enough for his motorcycle, his surfboard, and him. I guess his...

I used to do 100 acres. My help mostly evaporated, I'm 72 and my bud that helps me will be 77 next month, so I have cut back to 60. My son helps when he can after work. It's hard to find anybody that wants to do hard ass work anymore. Kids used to be eager to earn money, but now Mom and Dad...

When we were in Alaska in 88 we had Dungeness we bought off the boat. It was cheap and better than Snow or King I thought. When we were in Hawaii in 14 I had it at a crab shack and the price was through the roof. I guess the Chinese are to thank for that.

Sell it. Keeps me in shape and out of trouble.

Summery. 85 and humid. Breezy. Got some hay to bale. I should have cut more. Weather turned out better than forecasted. Some rain on the way.

We have some flagstones for a sidewalk that are almost covered again. I should scrape them off. You wonder where the dirt comes from. I can back up a wagon behind the baler, but certainly not around an obstacle course. I would like to see the two wagon trick. Pretty crazy.

Yep. Works great. I put an offset front hitch on my pickup. I can back up a wagon load of hay and see by the wagon to see my target. I need to make one for a tractor as well. Backing up a wagon can be frustrating on a bad day. Night time with headlight facing the right direction would be a...

It depends on how much they cost!

Looks like a bug I used to see on pot plants. It was colors like that but not sure the details are the same. They never hurt the plants. Never saw them anywhere else. I will have to look at some plants this summer and see if they are still around.

That doesn't happen very often! Good thing you have a small car.

On a trip back from Florida we saw we had a Gecko passenger. We were going to try and catch it but forgot and cold weather did it in.

Bad here also. That myth about cold winter killing off things just does not work.

My bud was on a riverboat in Nam. He was swimming in the muddy water and bumped into what he thought was tires tied together. I think an anaconda was the type of snake it was. Don't think he swam anymore.

You can use bed frame once in a while. Pretty limited. The price is right though.
