More photo's of that darned rifle of mine with the funny bayonet.

Peacock actually. They've all molted and no longer have their long tail feathers. We've got Peacocks running around the ranch and roosting in the trees at night. They're great Watch Birds because they start raising hell whenever something strange is going on around here. LOL

That's not a chicken. That's a wild turkey. I hunt those all the time.

Maybe you've been shooting somebody's Peacocks? LOL

Nice work on that patio Fred! You earned the rifle. However, I'm glad Murphy and his Law reside at my house, because in my world, the rifle would have slid down the side of that table and clattered across the nice new bricks

I see a funny looking chicken that likes your patio too!

I was worried that might just happen Allen. Evidently the powers that be and that are known to pull the rug out from under anyone who starts to get ahead anywhere were asleep and didn't notice the rifle leaning precariously while I was taking the pictures. LOLOL!

That's the model Springfield I need to shoot right after shooting my Krag in the Vintage match.

That's exactly what those guys at the zoo where I hunt call them turkeys. LOL

[Fred]

Yep, Zoo's are regular Game Preserves with all sorts and varieties of critters, all sorted out and ready to harvest. I can't figure out either why any of them would have issues with an occasional hunter. Well heck Bob, you can come out Here and thin out our ever growing population of Peacocks any time you have a hankering to do so!

[buttebob]

Thanks Fred. That's mighty nice of you. I'm getting a little tired of those guys at the zoo chasing me.

How much beer does that keg hold? LOL

[Fred]

I'll bet that they have them that big in Bavaria, Austria and Germany! Somebody asked me how much dirt it took to fill that patio up with. I explained that there's nothing but gravel in it. About 48 tons of it. I laid two pallets of landscape stones and about 1 1/2 pallets of Red Flagstone. Altogether, I think that I must've used over 60 tons of rock. That thing will never rot away or collapse under any weight, that's certain. The one out front has had horses come up onto it with no harm to the patio.
