Not sure that couch is ever going to be the same...

Have the big dogs ever attempted to consume the small dog? That has happened at my house a few times, apparently it truly can be a dog eat dog world out there…..

[NorcalBassin]

Lol, thank goodness no. We have two of those tiny things (3-4lbs) and they pretty much run the place. It's pretty funny to see them get mad at the St Bernards and nip at their feet while they just stare back at them with a wth are you doing look on their faces. Gentle giants (well, as long as you're not a chicken 😬😬).

I also love a delicious yard bird, can’t blame em 

[TnRiver46]

 They somewhat tolerate each other now , probably because one is old and doesn’t have enough teeth to eat her sister anymore 😂 I caught them laying side by side yesterday

Yeti. Adopted him and the kids picked that as his new name since he's huge and loves the snow. 😆

Picked up a new toy today. I haven’t been on here a whole bunch lately, been pretty busy getting my ducks in a row for my future career change. My wife and I have both always been huge gardeners, both veggies and flowers. This winter I’ve spent a ton of time researching and acquiring stuff to start a cut flower farm. This’ll be my test year, trying a bunch of different crops to see what grows best in our soil etc., with the plan to get going full bore next spring selling to florists, wholesale buyers in the city, and retail bouquets and bunches to the many high end resorts and restaurants in our area, as well as a subscription bouquet service for the many wealthy cottagers that are here all summer. If things go as planned, I hope to get a big commercial greenhouse next year perhaps, then I can extend the season greatly. Got 660’ of 8’ fencing coming in a week or so to keep the deer out of the profits, and I’ll be tilling up about  1100’ of beds to get rolling as soon as it dries up enough. The boat might collect a bit more dust this season, but that's ok, cause I’ll still be outdoors enjoying nature as much as I can.

Well, there’ll still be plenty of stonework to do for now. I’m already booked up until the fall and need to still have some $ coming in this season. The plan was to ease into the farm side of things, and still do the masonry at the same time, but after talking to several florists and other potential customers, I’m pretty certain I’ll be able to sell as much as I can grow once I’m established. That means my several year plan is looking like it’s gonna change to maybe a 2 year plan. 
I’m still fairly young (44), and in good shape, and can still do the masonry, and it’s provided a great life for me and my family, but I’ve also been doing this full time for over 25 years, and the stones aren’t getting any lighter! I don’t want to be in my 60’s and not be able to walk cause I was too pig headed to slow down with my job, and I love this place we’re living at now, so if I can make a good living at something that won’t completely wreck my body, and still be outside enjoying myself, I’m gonna give it a shot.

I think I can beat that.  Just over 3 weeks ago I was trying to remove some old tape from a hockey stick with a scissors.  It slid down the shaft and I accidentally stabbed myself pretty badly.  It was in a really bad spot too.  It would open up and bleed whenever I moved my left pointer finger.  Urgent Care did a good job of cleaning/sanitizing it, and then stitching it back up.  Its almost completely healed now.  They made me get an updated tetanus shot while I was there too.  Luckily, I did not cause any internal tendon damage.

 

When I told the doctor "it was a bonehead move that was completely preventable" he replied with "Grant, your stupidity is my job security."

Oh lord. Yeah I just dented my finger and it went back to shape after an hour or so . No blood just curse words
