Slightly off topic .... Sunrise from my hotel room this morning ... Poor quality iPhone photo

Posting that photo is dangerous. The Georgia Militia is just looking for an excuse to invade South Carolina and take Myrtle Beach. Since we only have coastal marshes, we could use a nice beach. We already have plans to take Hilton Head.
 
We'll let them take Myrtle Beach. As a Tennessee native, I call that place Pigeon Forge comes to the beach ... ;)

In that case we don't want it. :)
 
Sunrises like that are one of the few things I like about the beach.

The modern method is overwhelm with kid's. No fuss, no blood, and they give you free food and ice cream.
 
I'm only about 70 miles from the Gulf Coast and still don't go.
Chas -
I am only 200 feet away and usually only go to clean up messes left by wildlife or other guests. Dock collects seal poop, otter poop, bird poop (seagull, crow, duck, eagle, etc.) and leftovers from the seafood buffet.

And then there are the deer...

Both Remington and Winchester has the solution.
 
Marine and avian species are protected (something about shooting Bald Eagles really pisses off the neighbors) but the deer have paid a price this season. A three point buck taken with bow and a two point (I think) with slugs (12 ga type, not the slimy ones).

In the Deep South, if it can be fried and taste good under gravy, it is fair game. :)
 
Wow Ward, sweet crib! Is the fencing to keep things in or out?
Thanks, Peter! We live in a house that started out as a dairy barn - complete with former hay loft and a concrete manure trough as part of the foundation. It doesn't smell like cows any more (just dogs at this point). It is a nice neighborhood, tho, as evidenced by the fact that the one neighbor we have (with the fence) is screamin' wealthy and has three other homes in addition to the one next door. It appears to be the most humble/least expensive of collection. I have one home and 2 1/2 Landcruisers as an example of my wealth and priorities.

Answer to the fence question depends upon who you talk to....

We live on an island overrun by deer and very few predators (mostly cars). There is a brief hunting season for bow and shotguns. As a result, they will eat almost anything you plant and my wife is a gardener. Fence in foreground is a small garden area for her decorative "stuff" - the 6+ foot fence at right is the neighbor's to keep deer out of their property. Problem is that they only fenced three sides above the bank and deer come up from the harbor.

The zig-zag fence along the bank is designed to keep me from running the mower off into the harbor.

That's hardly sporting, isn't it?:hillbilly:
 
I like this bj73, and I like where the work is going
 
Whew. So this is still a 73 build thread :D Got a lil confused when page 2 turned to eating tasty animals living near the coast.

Sam again that is a cool rig you got there and way cool to find the original owner years later and thousands of miles away. It's a small mud world after all.

Loving the attention so far and will be watching where you go from here. Maybe we invite Chris (JDM LC ) out to another event and see what other cool goodies he has.


Soooo are the stripes staying?
 
Jason - the stripes are staying over the complaints of my GF - even if it eventually gets a repaint.

All I can say about the side track is I am very much OK with it. I have not been hanging around in this section for long, but I see the threads meandering a bit and the moderators in this section allowing that .... and I like it. They seem to flow more like verbal conversations that naturally go off on tangents then come back to the subject. ;)

Will try to do a little work on the truck this weekend if I feel up to it and post up a few pics to get us back on track. I am on a new course of meds (for a little issue) that is kicking my butt. By the time the weekend comes, I am wiped out. Traveling on business the second half of the week didn't help any.

BTW Charles is 110% correct on the definition of fair game in the Deep South. Furthermore, there are very few things that do not taste good when fried and covered with an appropriate gravy :hillbilly:
 
Excellent :clap:


The sidetrack was awesome. Best early morning mud chuckles in a while and had to stop shy of liking every comment. This corner of mud is pretty darn cool with some true characters and that could be dangerous cause Chris lives oh so close to me :beer:

So which gravy goes best with eagle?
 
That would be a toss up between the white gravy for chicken fried steak and a hearty brown beef stock based based gravy ;)
