Not a fan of fences but momma wants to keep deer out of her garden (it's under all that snow) when she plants it so off to Fleet Farm for T-posts and fencing.
Ours will be a 6' high chain link dog kennel type fence with a man door.
Guys save your fence money because I've seen deer jump over a 10ft fence with no issue. I saw it with my own eyes. If you want deer to stay out you better have a fence over 12ft.

A few months ago, before the thaw, I tried to move my hydraulic splitter with my tractor and bucket mounted hitch. I went to lift the bucket and pull the splitter out and the tongue bent and split at the holes for the leg. Today I finally got around to straightening it out and reinforcing it with some more steel and my portable welder and generator. It was the first time I used the little Chinese 110/220v flux core/stick welder, but it really impressed me. The duty cycle was long enough for me to never have to wait on it. Not having shielding gas available or having an indoor welding space to start with means flux core is the only way I can do anything. Even with clean fresh ground surfaces the welds are very ugly, but deep enough. With some grinding they are good enough and holding strong. Tomorrow I'll put it back together and take some pics after the paint dries.

Only thing I don't like about it is that it's not removeable so it gets in the way of loading heavy tree cuts and clogs up with dirt and clay where it has to be cleaned out. I keep the splitter covered on a carport to prevent rain, ice or snow on it. I need to tape over the holes in it's frame because wasps love to nest inside of it. I keep the muffler plugged with a stick to keep them from building nests inside there because they have in the past which I didn't know until I started it.
Wish I had that hitch. I left my tractor outside for years. Was common to have bird nests in the front grill by the battery. Thankfully no rats chewed the wires. A lot of dirt daubers left their mark on it where I'd have to knock those off. Sometimes spiders would crawl on me after riding a bit though. Lately I've been keeping it in the shop now that I made room for it and I wish I'd done that years back.
Who doesn't know how to fish with a possum lol.
I spent the day sitting in the shade sipping lemonade and talking about fishing. And getting paid to do it. It’s worm gruntin’ time! I gave my presentation on primitive fishing to 246 people today at the annual Sopchoppy worm grunting festival. As always the program was a hit. I’ve got a lot of tips for anglers that make it interesting.Like, does anyone know how to fish with a possum?Hand grenades or poison?Traps, weirs and Spears.
