North West BS Thread

As much as we want to go somewhere something gets in the way. I haven’t had a chance to start looking at things as I was busy decorating for Christmas. Not turning lights on yet but I couldn’t pass up a clear day of doing sketchy stuff on the roof .
Now that that’s done I can relax a bit and try and figure out our schedule.

 

I was going to echo pretty much what GT said. Winthrop’s closer than SD, but still a haul. And Leavenworth is cool, but more touristy/spendy. And given the current state of pandemic, not sure how Leavenworth would be (I’d expect Winthrop to be pretty low key in that regard).

 

Well went out this morning and saw lots of does. Wrong species. All were mulies. I can only take a whitetail. Came home for lunch and mowed my yard one last time. Will have to rake any leaves that continue to fall. Trees are close to bare so shouldn't be too much.

 

That’s a bummer. When does your season end?

 

Dang dude! Haven't mowed up north here for 3-4 weeks and the grass hasn't budged a bit, lol.
We decided to go out to lunch today for some good Thai food before more restrictions are announced soon.

 

We have one more mow to go, but I told junior to hold off another week. He can mow next weekend while I smoke some turkeys and then we’ll winterize the mower.

@NWPirate I feel ya...I’ve got an urge to go buy a cart full of meat for the freezer. Just to get ahead of the chaos.

 

I’m able to pick up most of the leaves with the mower. Then we dump em in a spot to compost. Only thing is, you can’t do it unless it’s dry, lol.
2” of rain yesterday and probably another 1/2” today. Great for the trees that I just planted; 6 coastal redwoods, 6 western red cedar, 6 Doug fur, 5 hemlocks, 3 ash and 2 walnuts. Also prepared 9 holes for an orchard expansion, bareroot to go in the ground around March: 3 apple, 3 pear, and 3 cherries.

 

Just finished with this knife today...

 

Looks awesome!

 

Monday for me. Season ends 19th

Finally stopped raining long enough to do my final clean up.

 

My garage freezer is pretty full with venison, elk, beef and pork but it's like guns and ammo, can't get enough!

 

haha...so true!

 

I’ve been wanting a nice grill to use while camping. Found some stuff on Amazon but was pondering getting rid of my old Coleman stove and upgrading to a bigger kit. Whelp, found something at Costco this past week for $17 that fits the Coleman, so gonna cook breakfast for dinner tonight.

It is raining and low 40’s, so I made myself a warm beverage...

 

Drove out to Yacolt in the rain today to pick up some Pull Caff’e coffee - wood roasted beans done by a friend of my wife’s.

getting ready to grill some chicken but trying to decide what else to cook for dinner. don’t know if the kids will decide to eat at home or not... pretty much the story every day anymore.

 

Edit: New griddle. got a pretty good view right now

 

Just poured a whiskey 7 and lit a fire in the wood stove.
2-5" of snow expected tonight.

 

Side note, where might a fella find the retro grill colors you have?
I want to get the gray set and I can't remember where I've seen them.

i told the kiddos that would be a great Christmas present...or even a gift cert because there’s a few things on there I want

edit: dunno if TVD has gray - might search Amazon

 

Yep, that’s it. Thanks @RainMan_PNW !

 

Appreciate it guys, how's the build quality and durability so far @Green Thunder

 

It’s just an average decal. Nothing special, but it has held up to six months of washing. There is someone here running metal versions. They look pretty cool. Will try to find a link later

Not sure if this is metal or plastic, but looks good too

 

Nice find!
That's the color combo I'm looking for.

 

Recommend. It’s got a solid burn for heat.

 

My wife is making venison nachos and I'm making a flawless transition from coffee to beer. Go Hawks!

 

Took a day off hunting to clean my house and get some Sunday funday watching football. Looking like a rum day to me.

 

Dude, you know when you’ve found/married the right woman/partner/<insert sex buddy here> when you finish the bloody marie’s and she/he/they starts feeding you the beer...

We are just chilling in the garage and drinking as fast as we can. Guess it was time for a stress relief. Oh yeah, and she’s helping with truck mods...

 

Living the good life Brother!

 

Figures, just when we’re getting ready to butcher pigs and turkeys, one of my deep freezers died.
Apparently, freezers are the new toilet paper! lol
