Random pic thread.

Yep, I'm officially hooked. Like I really need another hobby.

Very cool! I have been told to walk my creek and look for dark areas of stratification and dig in there.

Look up pictures of people's collections in local areas around you to get an idea of what shapes and rock types to look for.

TTB is great for desert blasting at speed and jumping…neither of which I’m wanting to do in a TJ.

Probably because you don't have a TTB TJ :p

Have you watched any of those guys from the Hoonigan shop on YouTube? They will take a basically stock TTB Bronco or truck and jump the crap outta it!

I’ve had enough TTB to last a lifetime myself 😵‍💫
 
The short wheelbase of a TJ just does not seem good for desert blasting
 
New (old) freezer. Already getting that deer meat back to the house from the inlaws. Side note, this old Gibson is MASSIVE, that's a whole deer ham.

Big old barn they are taking down just a ways down the road from my house. Damn thing is sitting on rocks for a foundation. It also had a crows nest or whatever you call it on top. I bet it could tells some stories from times gone by.

A lot of mixed feelings about that. I'm glad they are saving the material before it rots away like so many I see. But it's a shame there's so little demand for the family farm and rugged American spirit that built it to begin with.

They're probably going to sell the "reclaimed" lumber on marketplace and then put a shitass slabhouse tract home subdivision on it and call it "progress".

I'd want a summer of Sunday afternoons with the men and families who built it! Folk then where definitely a different grade.

I use to live near this, beautiful house next to it also, it’s a shame it’s being torn down
 
I'm curious where all that wood ends up. It's probably worth a fortune right now.
I'd love to have it to build my shed, not just to save coin but to let it continue life in a similar fashion.

It was in pretty bad shape and starting to lean pretty good. I am sure it was un safe. Going to feel weird to drive by there every day an not see it.

If they're careful about it, the owner could likely generate enough profit off of the lumber to get one hell of a jumpstart on a metal and slab building. Coming from Charleston, I've seen salvage rough-cut lumber and flooring bring in ridiculous money, especially pre-Cival war tongue and groove flooring with unique wear characteristics. Candle burns are eye candy for the restoration folks.
