Sitting in the cabin of King Fisher Society's Richmond Mill Lake, after two days of working with Dr. Mark Griffin of Purina Mills, wildlife biologist Dan VanSchaik, my business manager Walter Bassano and Morgan Company's property manager Dave Buhler. We just finished a great meal of steak and potatoes and are talking politics and life. We're concerned about Barackonomics and our impending government. We're learning about Purina's history and have talked about everything from the Civil War and Sherman's march through here to the future of our children in a socialist environment. We want to take our country back, but we aren't quite sure how. In the meantime, we just decided to eat some ice cream.
I got to spend some time at Eagle Nest Ranch near Athens. We hired a ranch manager, an excited young man named Jarrod Baum, from Austin, Texas. He's ready to go and we are ready for him to come on board. As things come together here in North Carolina, there are lots of good things happening all over.
Just got confirmation that we will do our next RFD-TV show on January 26, live from Nashville, Tennessee. I'll see if we can post the advertisement...in the meantime, enjoy these photos.
This photo is a neat example how to use broken concrete from a slab to create a functional retaining wall. Pretty neat...looks like a classy rock wall.
Here's Jarrod Baum, new ranch manager of Eagle's Nest Ranch near Athens, Texas, with a bluegill pushing nearly a pound.
There's a story in the next Pond Boss about pondmeister Gregg Lafitte, a true Texan who has built a "perfect" lake.
Gregg's ranch foreman, Domingo, played an integral role in designing and building a fantastic lake project.
Dr. Mark Griffin, (right) is holding court right now, telling the story of Purina Mills, a fascinating story in its own right. That's Walter Bassano on the left and Dan VanSchaik, internationally famous wildlife biologist, in the middle.
Dr. Griffin, telling it like it is.
Dave Buhler, Morgan Co. property manager.
