If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Thought I might share some pic's I took the other day out at the property we're building on.
The current gate and after all the construction we'll build a nicer one. The next day we had a guy come out and cut our property and my sons so it looks much different now.

The 2 buildings currently being used for some storage. I still need to get ramps. The first one I think will be my work shop and storage building. The second one will be my office and knife museum. ::shrug::

This is my son's house on the adjacent property. That lower section is a new addition he's adding. The building to the far right is his pump house, not an "out house," but the blue one in the middle is a porta potty that his builder brought in.

Here is the family pump across the road....just kidding, but there are 2 of them across the road.

This is our neighbor that the land was purchased from.

This will be our front porch view out to the west.

John you're right it can be windy. It sets up on a rise in that area and on a clear day you can see the Decatur Court House 14 miles away because it sets on the highest elevation in the area.

Nice pictures, Phil, thanks for posting. Tom appears to be ignoring you, I think he was distracted by your wife! 8)

Phil: The Blue Ridge...thanks for the memories. I had occasion to drive the Blue Ridge one late afternoon which dissolved into a spectacular sunset as I descended into the valley. Have never forgotten that sight.

Thanks Ike and dog I thought it was neat the way that ole fog was hanging up there.
Phil I've drove the skyline drive and blue ridge parkway several times and was lucky to have clear weather except for one time, that time all I saw was the edge of the road and very little of that. It can get foggy up there. Enjoyed your photos 📸 ::tu:: ::handshake::

Big H You all sure have some nice country down there ::tu:: ::tu:: always enjoy going back to Ft Campbell for our reunions then heading out thru Tennesse and Kentucky for a couple days of riding and sight seeing.
Phil. The Blue Ridge mtns are on our list of travel areas to see in the next few years. Thanks for a sneak preview ::nod::
Willy you seeing any Red up there yet? Our colors here this year are not very vibrant. Weather mumblers say it’s because of the dry hot days .

Same thing up here Rip, things are just starting to change. I didn't think of that, I guess it's the same right across. Super dry and hot, things wont start changing till it cools off. Still summer weather here, really hoping for a shower soon (Canola needs it bad).
We'll see what happens next week...

You can have some of ours, we have rain forecast to start tonight and last for 3 days, the grain farmers that are having a bumper season don't need it this close to the start of harvest.
