What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Put it in front of my deer blind and the deer eat them.

Some people do eat persimmons but most of them have been on the ground a while and are dirty. I don't really have a taste for them either.

Its considering baiting in my state as well but it is legal on private land. Not legal on public land or disease surveillance areas. I'd wager it'd be hard to find a deer in my home county without corn in its belly from October to February.

 

This is what I got to run at work today….

largest excavator I’ve ever run. And yes, the bucket knuckle is seriously worn out and scheduled for line boring this winter. Takes 4 buckets to fill a semi truck.

and yea, it’s intimidating.

Loading trucks

 

As usual, your work is outstanding!

 

Desks installed. Beach next week. I need it

 

Is it as heavy as it looks?

 

It's not light, but not super heavy either.

 

That is not entirely accurate.

Baiting and Feeding Regulations
Baiting and feeding are banned in the Lower Peninsula. In areas where baiting is banned, scents placed to entice deer, whether composed of natural or synthetic materials, must be placed so that they are inaccessible for consumption by deer and placed in such a manner to prohibit any physical contact with deer. This does not apply to urine-based products that adhere to the applicable regulations for using urine-based scents. Hunters can still use those urine-based products for mock scrapes, drag ropes, wicks, etc.

Exception: Hunters with disabilities who meet specific requirements may use bait in the Lower Peninsula during the Liberty and Independence Hunts only. Eligible hunters may begin baiting for the Liberty Hunt five days prior to when the season begins. Eligible hunters may begin baiting for the Independence Hunt five days prior to when the season begins.

Bait volume at any hunting site cannot exceed two gallons. Bait dispersal must be over a minimum 10-foot by 10-foot area. Bait must be scattered directly on the ground. It can be scattered by any means, including mechanical spin-cast feeders, provided that the spin-cast feeder does not distribute more than the maximum volume allowed.

To qualify, you must fit one of the following criteria:

• Be a veteran who has been determined to have 100-percent disability or is rated as individually unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
• Have been issued a permit by the DNR to hunt from a standing vehicle.
• Have been issued a permit by the DNR to hunt using a laser-sighting device.
• Be blind. Blind means an individual who has visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with correction or has a limitation of his or her field of vision such that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angular distance not greater than 20 degrees, as determined by the Commission for the Blind.
• An individual is deaf as defined by section 2 of 72 PA 1978, MCL 408.202. "Deaf person" means a person who is not able to process information aurally, with or without amplification, and whose primary means of communication is visual or by receiving spoken language through other sensory input, including, but not limited to, lipreading, sign language, finger spelling, or reading.
  

I couldn't find the "sportsman's club with 25' or more of snow exception"

 

Heard a boom while mowing.


Had to cut red drivers door off to get her out. Red pulled out from the alley across the street right in front of yellow.

 

damm, have to hate this...hope she gets through the injuries!!

 

Hopefully she comes out of it fine.

Meanwhile I was looking at how nice your fence is looking. That was one of your projects last year projects if I remember correctly.

 

Boooo!
I hope that money buys the scammer a nice dinner, and food poisoning!!

 

That happen also here yesterday at the entrance to our short dead end street. Second time in three months. Traffic tied up for miles. Distracted drivers, and too fast.

 

Decided to wait until the last minute and change the oil this morning before heading to the beach next week. The oil filter felt like it was installed by a gorilla and I ended up poking a hole in it with my junk oil filter wrench. Now I was in a real pickle. Finally ended up getting it off after an epic battle. Not the worst one I've ever seen, but it was top 5 for sure.

I'd really like to whoop the guy's azz who put it on there, but I could probably only punch myself in the face one time.

 

There was a time when I wanted to operate some heavy machinery. That opportunity never came up, I still enjoy watching them work. There are YouTube sites that show them in action. I hope your new job is working out well for you. Your dog must miss the long rides.

 

it didn’t last long.

guy sent me home yesterday and said “I realize you’ve got experience and it’s been a long time since you’ve run an excavator, but I gotta let you go….”

Oh well….


I hope whatever comes next is good.

 

Hauled some more wood to the basement; then carried it inside to the almost full wood room. The outside access door to the room has been blocked by firewood for a few days now so I have been loading the wood onto a horizontal cart and wheeling it over. Sure beats carrying an armful at a time!!

Managed to get the truck de-bugged and washed one more time. Now, it's clouding up and supposed to have a chance of T-storms.
