So, if the house is under construction, and we sold the house in Houston, one might ask one's self.... self?....where exactly are our Ranch Hands living these days?
 That would be the Tailwinds 6100 24ft Travel and Recreational Assimilation Storage Home....or, TRASH.   This Pint-Sized Picasso of living space will be sold right after we get the keys to the new house in May. Get your bids in now! Low mileage. Towed only twice : once onto property, and once off when sold  . This 2012 model features not one, but TWO propane tanks for heating on those long cold winters, or boiling that large pot of water on the stove which will take thirty minutes. Yes, don't miss your chance to own this come Spring. Just in time for break-down-on-the-road season!  And this other picture is a funky sunrise I caught the other morning. What looks like you had one to many Killian's Irish Reds... or one Pabst  .... is actually a phenome..fenomen....phe...er, a trick on the eyes. What you're seeing is a shadow from a ridge of trees on top of a large hill creating a shadow against the sunrise.  How cool is that!? Waaaaaaaay cool! And this only happens this time of the year right before the Winter Solstice. Any other time the, the mountain is away from the sunrise and you don't get that shadow. Sort of like how the Maya planned their junk around, but on a totally non-related and similar scale. Cheers  Dave

You guys are building a dream!!
Looks like a really nice place to visit... but no snow??? Did you know this deficiency before buying?? Hope you didn’t get bamboozeled.... :-) Is there enough space for a 1320 + slowdown zone? A little pavement and a set of vintage start lights could make up for the lack of snow?? Ryan W31

Wow - actual roof rafters instead of trusses. Don't see that much around here anymore. Actual attic space you can use.
Looks like it is coming along nicely.

Ha! O.k, sorry Mikey!
As was posted by Lynn and Bill, I'm using the Shaver 6100-HD post driver. Fitted to the John Deere 3025E with auxiliary hydraulic controls, it makes pretty quick work of these posts. Out of 560 posts ordered, I'm down to 150 left to do!  So one might wonder how I'm getting my fence line so straight? The tried and true thumb and squinted eye method with exposed tongue sticking out? Sextant?  No, although you can't go wrong with the thumb and eye method. I'm using exactly what the ancient Peruvians used when laying out the Nazca lines. It's called the Line Wizard 6100 Infrared laser line sight. Set this bad boy up on either end, line them up until the LED light comes on (indicating your aligned), then use a straight stick/ pipe/ rebar and dangle it in front of the beam. When broken, a "beep" will be heard from a audible sensor hanging around your neck. Drop it to the ground and you have the start of a laser straight line! Now, it's up to you whether you want to make Monkeys, Spiders, and craaaaaaaaazy looking crap on your land. For now, I'll stick with a straight line. Cheers Dave
