What we're doing now that we don't have to work anymore.

Here are a some more pictures and the first ones are of a raccoon and a 'possum that I caught and took out to a wildlife preserve called "Indian Trails" and let go so they can go and bug somebody else for awhile. Remember, you can click on each picture to see a larger view of it.
These 2 pictures I took with my cell phone (a Blackjack) account I forgot to bring my "real" camera but it did ok, good enough for government work anyway.
These next few are of the red shed that I built from a kit. It's a 10' x 10' barn shed. Actually it measures 10' by 9'9" but the instructions didn't say that and it did made a difference when it was being put together. It didn't say whether the long side or the 3 inches shorter side was the front & back or the sides. Well anyway I got the wrong side in the front & back so I had to do some changes to the angle of the rafters and the way the front and back was cut to match the rafters plus a few other minor things but it's done now and better than the original because I beefed up the supports for the loft inside so it would hold more weight for storage. The big shed I bought already made, all that had to be done was the delivery and setup and the builders did that. They also furnished the little ramp that is in front of it but with the front end up off the ground it was too short so I put it in front of the one I built and made another one for the big shed. I use the big one to keep my tractor in and built a work bench and work area in the back. The shed is a 12' x 24' so its big enough for both the tractor and a work shop. I also had electric run to both sheds so I can now shock the crap out of myself in either shed. This is after I had finished the small shed and after the electric was put in. There is a light and an outlet in the small shed and 4 florescent lights and 10 outlets in the bit shed and a spot light over the doors. I happened to see this critter running across some gravel next to the yard while I was moving the front lawn. I bet if that thing dropped down in front of you while you were eating your curds and whey it would make your rear end pucker up! This toad came hopping by about 5 minutes after I saw the spider, wonder if he ate it? I didn't kill the spider they and the toads keep the bug population down, also there are a few bats around here and they eat a lot of bugs too. Anything that eats bugs I leave alone even the small snakes and lizards. Actually I think the spider might be big enough to eat the toad, legs and all it would have covered the palm of my hand and the toad was about the same.
