"Morning Run" is a great choice.

Thanks fishm_n.
Can't wait to maybe be able to move some furniture in soon.
It's been a long journey full of surprises.

Today was one of the special days at the property. Perfect temps (63) and the rye grass is now coming in. Looked for dying Tilapia but didn't see any. Hope the bass are gorging on them as metab slows down. I would think the Tilaps need to be meeting with the funeral home director in the next 2-3 weeks.

Mark,
What is your water temp? Mine was 71F just last week. The Tilapia in the barn are really loving it at 80F.

I think the Tilapia will be fine until the water gets a bit colder, and the forecast looks good for now.

Looks like the bass will have to work for their diner for now.

Beautiful! Very picturesque.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Well tonight is the first night I will spend on the property.

It is a special night...exciting, but also emotional.

My older brother and I started construction in Feb 2013 and he died unexpectedly in July 2014. He was the real brains/construction guy and I was left to finish the last 30% of the project on my own. I have tried as best as I could to carry on, fill his shoes, and make him proud.

So here I sit tonight with a glass of wine wishing he was here,
but knowing he is looking down with his blessings.

(took these pictures today)



sundown


This video in some way sums up how I feel tonight...
we all lose special people along our journey...
but certain one's leave us with a "hell of a vision".



Goodnight guys...

Zep, many a man has a vision, but few pursue the vision. Thumbs up to you and yours. I would expect your brother is there in Spirit. I believe in such things.

Almost daily I get clues reminding me that I am totally without artistic ability. I can only envy and salute the talents of the mind that conceived and constructed the head and footboards of that bed. You, Sir or Madam, are truly a talented and gifted artist.

Dudley the lady that makes the log furniture
just south of Dallas is very talented and has
relatively reasonable prices.

Check out this coffee table she made:
