    My BIL has a picture of a fawn nursing off his sister's dog this week.

    X3. It's because of guys like him, my dad and others that we can be posting on a forum such as this. I'm sure he was a wonderful dad.

    Worked around the house most of today. Sheetrock, more work on my beer shelf. We visited with Kellis dad and my mother too. Decided to cook out over the fire pit. Didn't have a rack so I decided to build one.

    Before looking at it, remember this is the first thing I've actually made to use. It's rough....real rough!

    I grabbed some old stock and gave it a shot. Boy I need practice welding, but it works.

    Beans are about done, time to throw the hot dogs on.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. :)

    I see nothing wrong with this. OK, .. maybe a few tweaks here-n-there, but overall- great job !!
    That burn "pit" idea is what I've been after, great idea! Luv it ! :yes:

    :jaw:No Way!! I was just messaging with billb3 about house plant gnat things, he suggested using H2O2, which I have on hand for the skunked dog bath soap mixture. Not a minute later Blondie was starting to make a roccus, (I thought she saw a reflection in the windows as I walked by) and I opened the door to let her out, :hair::hair::hair: skunk smell in the air. PHEW, avoided a stinky skunked dog :dex:

    Thanks. But I should have asked you to draft up some shop drawings first :)

    It doesn't need to be very big but you must have males and females. A male can pollinate 5-6 females within 50' (or more) of it, but they must also bloom at the same time so that is something else to think of. If all your mom's hollies are producing berries, you need to find an appropriate male. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell males from females until they flower and even then it is tough to tell the difference sometimes (I can't tell).

    I installed a LED shop light with Bluetooth speakers over my workbench. I am switching over to LED's anyways, so for a few more bucks, I have decent sound. It is not high end, but much better than the phone speaker. The light is a little more yellow, closer to daylight than my other LED lights that are cooler in color.

    Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Y'all are like family. Wish I could have celebrated with each and every one of you! I tried to drink a beer for each year....that didn't go over well. :)
