Weekend in Review (Pics)

My long weekend started on Wednesday so I thought I would drop a few pics of whats been going on...

The weapon of choice this weekend is going to be the tobacco axe. Ah yes it's that time of year again. A field of Norwegians wielding cold steel...just like back in the days of the vikings.

The second weapon of choice. Wisconsin has a law that requires everyone owning a rimfire rifle to pound at least 500 rounds down the barrel on holiday weekends.

Cutting hay...easy! Disconnecting haybine...well that's another story!

The neighbor came up with some sheep from a rescue in the area that hadn't been shorn in years. This same neighbor lost his collie last month so I lent him my border collie / blue heeler for the day to help out. Funny how those herding dogs are just hard wired for that kind of thing. They are dang good at what they do.

It started with fixing some small wiring issues and replacing some hydraulic lines. Now my dad is trying to talk me into a complete restoration of the 544. I hope it's his checkbook and not mine!

Those dogs really are amazing. Retrievers retrieve, guard dogs guard, and the poodle/schnauzer mix my daughter had was hard wired to piddle on every rug.

Talk to colby64 for advice on restoring that tractor.

Yep, some of them sheep do need a trim. And I don't envy the job waiting on you with that tobacco axe either!

Billy in Stoughton,

Awesome pics. Sounds like a great weekend.

We will also be at home working on projects... Regular, yard, Regular, cooking out, Regular, maybe a cold beverage and some tunes. Scope shooting is fun...our son would gladly help you meet your firing quota. LOL

Last but not least the middle sheep is AWESOME. I did not know they could literally turn into a "puffball" with a head if unshorn.

"and some tunes"

Are you a player or a listener?

PJH,
Sadly, my only musical gift is enjoyment. So I am bonafied "listener".
