    Bee keeping

It’s great to have her bees pollinating all the local plants. Our other neighbor has a mixed hay field that they also pollinate. It...

    Monarch Butterflies

    I’ve been waiting and watching the Common Milkweed in the plot and spotted these. I planted milkweed seeds in winter for several years and they are present in enough numbers to attract breeders. ​ Once they turn into butterflies they will enjoy all the pollinators through October. Several...

    Camera for a newbie

    Thanks! I had to google Tri Colored Blackbird. They look similar the Tri’s have a stocky build compared to the Redwings. Sounds like they only live in your neck of the woods and numbers are down. I’m hoping to get pics of Yellow Headed Blackbirds this summer in MN. I found a colony on a lake...

    Eye bolt reinforcement aluminum F-150

    Thinking the same! I kept the 3x5x3/16” plates that I will install this winter over the modified 1/4” plates. They will be easy to install after the camper goes on the dolly this winter. There is just enough thread left to install with a full nut bearing. Thanks Vic!

    Eye bolt reinforcement aluminum F-150

    After reading posts regarding bed deformation on F-150’s with aluminum beds I decided to upgrade. I put together a common sense plan and engineered a system that should fit the bill for years to come. The stock FWC installation is a good system but, is a bare bones system IMO. I think the FWC...

    Fist pics with the 55-210 lens. Plenty of subject matter here on the farm. Redwings Blackbirds nesting in numbers in the plot now. They really go crazy when you approach their nest locations. They land close and make great practice. ​
