So after wearing out my last dress boots, I found one hell of a good deal on these. I'm getting my old lucchese ostrich boots resoled to be my new riding/rodeo boots, and I found these at Elliots boots. They were orginally $205, but they had a tag that said $150. Then the lady said they may be more than that. Turns out they were 50% orginal price. Then the we were talking to the lady at the register and I mentioned being in Cali. And she found out I was military so she gave me 10% off the orginal price. So I ended up paying $80 for $205 set of Rocky boots. If your looking for new boots, Elliott's boots on western ave is great place with good prices.

Never seen or heard them kill something. But Ive heard some good fights 2 or 3 yotes vs my 170 lb Great Pyrenees. He has never lost or been hurt to date. They leave him alone now, and stay off the farm.

We plant both seed taters, and last years left overs. Cut the potatos up, with at least two eyes per piece. We plant in early to mid march, when the signs are in the thighs. The farmers almanac can help you there. Plow the furrow, then walk down dropping the pieces in, then go back and either cover with a hoe, or a hiller plow. We usually get 10 bushel for every 50 lbs we plant. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask.

I live close to you, between Oliver Springs and Harriman, I'm renting about 184 acres out this way. I do a lot of hunting, fish poplar creek right out my back door, and we have primtive camp meetings around my place, with hunting, survival classes, hide tanning classes, blacksmithing, etc.

Ive got a gunbelt you can borrow. Pm me for details if your intrested. Im in the oliver springs area, right outside oak ridge.

We had several big taters, but our quantity was way down below normal. Also noticed we had quiet a few big ones that were hollowed out, from rot and bugs which is also pretty unusual for us. Thanks for all the positive comments guys

$10,000 is a high dollar set of mules. We've got $650 in Big John. I'm looking for a team of Belgian drafts right now. I'd like to have two close to Big Johns size, he's 2200+ lbs and a lil over 16 hh. None of those kids are mine, I'm to young for kids still, I'm only 24. But I do realize now how lucky I got growing up working horses, doing blacksmith work, traditional wood work. I learned about a lot of dying arts from my Dad, who grew up with them as a way of life.

I figured some of you guys might enjoy this stuff. We harnessed up our Belgian Big John this morning, and started plowing around 7:30 am. We only plowed out about ten bushel, half we normally plant. We did the majority of it with me plowing, and dad driving, just makes it easier when the horse is only put under harness a few times a year due to time restraints. Waiting to start plowing Everyone picking up while I hold the horse and take a smoke break Dad clucking to the John Plowing in action Double shovel plow, and my nephew farmer in training

I have decided to attend a Farrier school, with the goal of starting my own horseshoeing and blacksmithing business. I have done some research, and my post-9/11 GI bill will be covering most of the expense. I'll be left with a full tool kit($1400) a $500 application fee, and $500 left of my tution. The GI bill will pay $17,500 for out of state pvt school, and the 36 week course at the Kentucky Horseshoeing school is $18k even. The BHA will cover my room in the 8 man bunkhouse, that is $1800 for the entire 36 week course. I'm just asking to get opinions on if this school is the best option, or is there another well accredited school in this general area? Having never ran my own business, what suggestions would you have to someone starting out in something like this? Also if your a farrier, what I can expect as far as yearly income, how large of a customer base is normal, etc. Thanks guys Link to the school http://www.kentuckyhorseshoeingschool.com/

I live in Oliver Springs area, about 1.5 hours or so. I'm willing to drive though for a good job.

I have a set of older Lucchese Ostrich skin dress boots that I have finally worn out. Is there anywhere close by I can take them to get them resoled and cleaned up a bit? I'd just like to get them close to new, since they were pretty close to $450 new, and I don't really wanna replace them, even if they are 4 years old, thats a lot of money to spend right now. See pics for damage. And I willing to go all the way to Nashville for the right person, as long as he can get them close to knew again

Stolen from Caster in the deputy photography thread. Real men take care of their families. Real men don't beat women. Real men can sharpen a knife. Real men don't spend their paychecks on hobbies before food. Drugs, guns, knives, cars, etc. I think this thread should break ten pages of the things a real man can do.

Someone always says this. Why?? He was obviosuly not a good person if he was willing to go into someones home unannounced then take pictures of their young daughter naked, while two boys sat in his patrol car. He wast a good kid, he was a punk who just hadnt been caught.

Ive never used a sander to sharpen a knife. I guess the closest thing Ive done is putting the first edge on a newly forged blade. Id worry about thinning the blade with a sander. Do you use the belt sanders to do any stock removal knife making?

If you can;t read it, it worried me that I would get the Kanji for courage, and it would actually say stupid. What I was saying, was even though I spent time in Japan, and understodd some of it, I didn't trust my language skills in another language to risk getting "goat ******" tattooed up the side of my leg and thinking I had something badass

If I can't read it, it doesn't go on my body. I never got any Kanji, even stationed in Japan for two years. To risky. The tribal for me was just used to make my name pop, to underline it more or less. MY next tat will be a Spartan helmet, I've wanted one for a long time. Also plan to get an irish claddagh over my heart, as it has a lot of meaning to me and my wife in our relationship.

Tried and true. I like to use what I'm comfy with, and I'm comfy with what I use all the time. Varmit control it my old Remington bolt action .22 unless its a coyote then its my Marlin 336 in .35 rem. Inside the house, it's my 1851 Navy or my Mossberg 500, depends on how a threat presents itself.

Sweating like a whore in church. Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Horny as a three p***ered billy goat. Tighter than a Nuns corset

Tell him to talk to his career planner and find out if there is a TAPS/TAMP coordinator on base. He is required to take those classes at least once before he EAS's and they will provide a lot of assistance in writing a nice professional resume.

Pictures from the last campout, pictures from the last hammer in, and pics from working the Draft horse. This one will include all three, plus some stuff. Campout pics here Forge work pics here And heres the horse we will be working with

I got a pretty good idea of where your talking about. The house my dad grew up in was built on Duncan flats in the 20's, and my sister lives there now. We are probably related through marriage, as Peggy Patterson sounds real familiar. My Grandmother is a phillps, and was raised on the side of the mountain on the now gravel mining road, out by what was called the rose place. They then moved to the Deep Holler at the end of Duncan Flats and lived there for years, and still own several acres out there. I'll run it by my dad next time I talk to him. You should come up, since you know the area, I'm sure you would enjoy the event.

No, I'm a Duncan, and my mom is a lively, both have been in the area for a long time. But I do know a few pattersons.

Kids and wives are more than welcome. My nephew will most likely be there, and their were a couple of kids, and a few wives at the last event.

Thats funny, because I have a bargain mart in my lap from July 18th, with a Ingram M10 fully auto suppressed machine gun. So that must be a real recent policy change. I guess I know one company I'll be writing to let them know that I won't support them as long as they carry that policy

I would really prefer to keep it black powder only. If any modern guns are shot, the brass will have to be picked up and taken care of, and it just worries me getting a bunch of guys out there shooting, plus I do have both my sisters, and my mom to contend with if theres gunshots going all day, and we have lots of animals around. So for right now I'm gonna just say I'd prefer to keep it black powder only, on a hot target "range" during the competition.
