In other news...

My gf and I have been looking for a house to buy, and for those who may be concerned we are talking marriage soon. Well, Friday I went right look at a house with 12 acres of property, woods and fish pond, and detached garage and shop. Well I loved it. Went out Saturday with the gf and she loved it. We put on our offer Saturday afternoon and they accepted Sunday evening!!!

I'm so excited to finally have a place like this I can call my own!!! I'll have a place to play and build a fort, or shelter, and all kindsa fun stuff. Pictures eventually!

Congrats Nix!!

Party at Nick's house! We'll have a campout in the tree fort.

That whole post is full of awesome, congrats! How you managed to get a house in this market is beyond me, must have been your smashing good looks that sealed the deal.

:D

Thanks bro!

Hahaha I doubt that! It's a crazy market right now, that's for sure. There are great deals out there and crazy expensive crap too. I feel like we got lucky with this place. We met the owner and it seemed like he still has sentimental attachment to the house he grew up in, and wanted it to go to good people. Why he saw that in me, I'm not sure. It had to have been the gf. Lol.
 
you should see what a proper trowel can do :D

vik: also, there are four things in that picture!

5 if you count the side of leather that may be destined to become a backpack.

Now I've gotta make a sword too.

Nice tip you've got there Vic! I'm impressed!! ;)

Speaking of Iowa... What happened to that average Iowa guy?

he bought 10 acres backed up against a national forest in Michigan.

not this one. nope.

i also have #83, might use that one :D

though i will wait a few weeks or so for the production model. should be excellent.
 
Don't deny yourself the pleasure of using it. You need to tell us how well #130 throws 😁. It looks really nicely balanced!
 
Congrats Nix! Owning land is never a bad thing. The more tree forts the better.

Well that's about as good as it gets. Now get it out there and get some smear on it. :thumbup:

I looked but didn't see any info on production models.

Do you know what the weight of that head is? There wasn't a weight on the specs for the commemorative. Hoping it will be in the 2-1/2# to 3# range.

Some of y'all dabble in lockpicking, right? What do you suggest for a beginner? There are plenty of locks around the farm to practice on, I just need to get the picks I need to learn.

Congratz, Nix!

I like some good 12ga breaching rounds followed by battering ram and then a stun grenade.

Oh well... I'll have to stay blue for a bit... I just brought a 4th puppy home yesterday.

Another Corso. Black brindle. 10 weeks old. 24pounds. No name yet.
