"green" pictures of WebMonkey's homestead

quite awhile back, I posted pictures of my homestead.
it was during winter and was showing off the brown.
:)

so, since i had to re-aim my tv antenna and deploy a new wire antenna for hf ham radio work, i decided to snap a couple shots during the "green" period.

thinking about taking my little beagle out squirrel hunting today, it's plenty hot out there.

Fine looking homestead you have .. 120 acres You are blessed ..
I only have 36 Acres. Want to buy at least 10 acres behind me so I can tell people I have to "go work the back 40" :) :)

You are in the ideal part of Missouri 30 miles roughly west of me.

Getting ready for field day? Or just everyday comms?

Looks good BTW

Good looking place. You are about 100 miles NE of my place. I am in Ozark County.

I am outside of Springfield. You can see the barn but the house and garage are in the trees

Nice place but what piqued my interest was "taking my little beagle out squirrel hunting today". You hunt squirrels with a dog????

i operate on emergency power for field day and wanted a monoband dipole for 40m qrp.

i hunt squirrels with a dog when i hunt alone.
she, "Reload", will tree the squirrel and i'll deliver a 20ga from the o/u.
she "usually" will retrieve the prize for me.

rabbit season is a ways off but Reload does the work then too.
;)

when i hunt squirrel with kids/grandkids, we hunt from a ground blind with .22 rimfire. Reload stays on the couch.

i mentioned before that my wife and i sold our home + 10 acres just outside salem to move out here permanently.

the home you see was a major downgrade but we are VERY thankful for our place out here.

i have a problem with survivor's guilt they tell me and being out here has really helped.

i appreciate the comments and i do know we're blessed.

except for internet that is :)
we are the last customer on this line from steelville telephone exchange.
we get .8megabits/sec download from a 1.5mbit plan
(they warned us ahead of signup).

i've managed to adapt.
more time for casting and radio right?

we have 6 acers. it got away from me last summer the wife was in the hospital most of the summer. the 10 year old d
grandson comes over and helps now he likes my breakfast and cornbread. we are making headway

man that looks awesome, can't beat that view.

WebMonkey, You are about 15-20 miles from me. I live in Salem around Shawnee Mac (old Ziskey farm, I think I spelled that right). Anyway, I like your place. We've got a whole acre :) (My wife wanted to be close to town while I going back to sea duty when we bought the house). I've got Indian trails to play around in though.

used to visit the lakes then stop by doc McCoy's.
we taught a sunday school class once upon a time.

nice being close to undeveloped land.
:)

i understand. without my little tractor/brush hog, i'd be up to my ears.
my wife does quite a bit.

we also have 6 kids and 11 grandkids that stop by sometimes ;)

Sounds like we have enough members close to have a shoot somewhere?

well i have to get spotted some 'points' because i'm old and decrepit and can't shoot well.

;)

Its beautiful here, I only have 4 acres but I love it here.
That's why mama and I retired here from Il. 1 1/2 years ago
6 miles south of Steelville

:D Hi Web Monkey.Great looking piece of heaven you got there.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I live right down the road from Doc McCoy. Right on the bend. Never have fished the lakes though.

Nice looking place. Would love too live on 120 acres with woods nearby.
