as many hogs as possible to slow their spread posted in hunting 2 comments january 12 2010 by oddmix new things i looked at my 101 things about me and realized it was four years old some of it was just a bit out of date some was flat out wrong so i redid it take a look posted in me leave a comment january 12 2010 by oddmix the missing year well here we are again it has been over a year since my last real post the mix is still odd and i still like it that way some of you have kept somewhat up to date via facebook but here is the year in brief thought i was going to loose my job as a contractor got rid of the goats became very involved with church was transferred to another team in the company got a llama was eventually hired full time gained some weight got more llamas got even more involved with church got goats again moved locally helped mdw start a business went on vacation was stage manager for a small production lost some weight started hunting again started getting rid of most of the goats again so now we live in a different place with different creatures the new place is on the edge of the cumberland plateau which makes for stunning scenery we still live on a farm of sorts but the maintenance is much less intensive i have been spending as many days as i can hunting which here means much much walking and very very little shooting but is still very addicting i love my job great boss great team fun work at church i lead a small group bible study for the high school ministry help with set builds and run sound for the kids services mdw is busier than a one armed paper hanger and the kids are growing like weeds and they are all still the greatest joy god has placed in my life now that you are all caught up we shall see if i can get back in the blogging groove who knows i may even play the wwc again from time to time a few photos for the road from our vacation from hunting in the north cumberland wildlife management area posted in blogging me photography 4 comments january 11 2010 by oddmix tap tap tap uhhhh is this thing still on testing testing does anybody hear me when i do this seriously i am curious if i still show up on anybody s rss or blogroll just wondering if anybody would notice if i started posting again lemme know posted in me 8 comments october 2 2008 by oddmix craziness thought i was dead din cha nope just busy so also

their mad swimmin skilz in the lake a very good time was had by all well all except this kid who was bothering leise until gabriella er persuaded him to leave her little sister alone ahem posted in me 6 comments july 23 2008 by oddmix the hill caleb tells me that for us country folk the hill starts at 62 plateaus at 82 and at 100 there is a steep drop to the sharp rocks below dunno where he gets his data from but it sounds good to me i was taking a picture of their matching shirts on sunday looking through the viewfinder i thought how sweet she has her arm around him then i looked up and saw the big picture oh well posted in me 5 comments july 22 2008 by oddmix hippo birdie two mi forty one odd years today funny i didn t notice the hill there is a reason they call these the great smokey mountains posted in me 14 comments july 18 2008 by oddmix blue grossbeak next to the driveway yesterday he reminds me of sam the eagle from the muppet show posted in me 3 comments july 7 2008 by oddmix work it this independence day break has been a busy busy time the plan had been for me to take a trailer up to our old home town meet mdw and the kids there load up and come home as it turned out the trailer was unavailable so i stayed home and she got to finish out the trip from h e double toothpicks on her own the short story is that it went about as not well as the rest of the trip and she will very happy to be home tonight the upside is that i had lots of time to finish up several big tasks during the hottest part of the day i finished building these for the kids they are excited to start interior decorating in their cubbies but the majority of my time i spent working on the garden for the last week i had been focusing on getting beds built for the kids and mdw shhhhh it s a secret and hadn t spent much time on the garden so beginning on friday i paid in sweat for my sins of omission in many cases it was difficult to tell where the cultivated plants were hiding in the weeds i located and rescued the beans and the sweet potatoes the corn was hard to differentiate from the johnson grass growing around it but the straight lines were just barely possible to identify the tomato and pepper plants were easier to find by and large my technique was to tear off the johnson grass and use it to mulch in between the rows and there is still quite a bit of work to do but at least you can see that it is a garden and that there are rows of plants i went to church on sunday got the materials to build a forge shopped for groceries and found wild caught salmon for 99 a pound wheeee thirty pounds please worked with my dog took care of the stock and built a bedside table i even said hi to the cat deep breath are they home yet posted in me 10 comments july 1 2008 by oddmix cotton balls two three month old kids angora kiko cross their mothers names are lavern and shirley we think these will be lenny and squiggy posted in me 6 comments june 24 2008 by oddmix nope still not dead i have been as busy as a large buck toothed rodent with a cellulose fettish while mdw and the kids are back in va wrapping up some loose ends and visiting my parents i am here in tn doing other things i am going to meet up with them there on the fourth and we will all come back here together i am keeping the dogs and cat and goats and horses and one lone chicken from expiring due to lack of moisture or calories i am working on that small garden we put in planting watering spraying weeding tilling i am tearing apart an old barn on the other side of town for the seasoned oak timbers i am building beds for four kids i am keeping the house from becoming lost in tall grass i am helping the hay man with haying when he needs it oh and working my day job too shockingly i am holding up rather well physically and mentally yay just kinda busy photos will be up when i have time be well posted in me 5 comments june 15 2008 by oddmix a few thousand words in picture form our little garden being tilled in happy father s day to me posted in me 7 comments may 14 2008 by oddmix rip really in pieces or one hail of a night before this weekend i had heard of microbursts i think i only remembered the term because it sounded like something a very small firecracker or maybe a water balloon did i suppose it is all a mater of perspective holding a ladyfinger when it goes off is a bad idea and getting hit in the back of the head with a water balloon hurts because our lease does not take effect until thursday and our landlords to be are nice people we have been living in our camper next to the new house for a few weeks ever since the voyage of noah s horse trailer while they have been moving out this has not been the roughing it type of ordeal you might think it is a nice pop up camper with a slide out dinette the beds are comfortable there is or was a large screen porch and with lots of effort thought and ruthless organization mdw has kept our temporary home very pleasant and livable we sit on a hillside in a large field which extend about a quarter mile down to the road with maybe a half mile of road front to the east and west as the sun was going down friday evening we watched a truly wicked looking storm cell pass by to the north of us but the skies over us remained fairly clear we did some farm chores and some camper maintenance had a nice dinner and went to bed as the kids were settling down to sleep i went out to check on the dogs to make sure they could all get to their shelters on their temporary tie outs there was a soft warm breeze and the sky was lightly overcast but there was plenty of moonlight to see one of them gabriella s dog chubby was tangled up and i set to getting the very large very bouncy puppy unwound so she could get inside as i bent over fending her off with one hand while untying the amazingly complex knots with the other i noticed that everything suddenly got very quiet i looked to the west at the tree line about a thousand feet a way i measured it later i heard a sound like a small jet flying directly toward me that moment before you can really hear the engines when it is a high frequency rushing sound and then the trees just disappeared nothing there but a solid wall of featureless gray a fast moving wall of featureless gray fast moving directly at me i unclipped chubby s collar yelled for her to come and sprinted for the trailer that might not sound like the smartest place to go with a jet airplane sounding fast moving featureless gray wall howling down upon one but everything i hold precious in this world was in that trailer and darned if i was going anyplace else i got to the screen room turned around and grabbed chubby i pushed her and mdw through the door and the blast of hail and wind hit us the screen room parted company with the trailer like it had been hit by a truck heavy marine grade fabric tore from end to end the aluminum supports bent like flexi straws at the same time the wind hit the bunk end so hard the the aluminum tube that forms the top support snapped without hardly bending not crimped and then broken just snapped like a dry twig as i was still pushing the dog through the door it was blown shut against my shoulder or elbow i am not sure i didn t even feel it so hard it knocked the lower panel most of the way out i thought as i scrambled through the door that the frame hit the back of my head because it felt raw though i couldn t figure out how it had happened when i got to my feet mdw was stuffing the kids all of them in varying states of hysteria under the table an interesting task since there is room under there for two maybe three kids and the dog was in there too it was like watching somebody trying to push a bunch of wet bars of soap into a small box she would push one in and another one would squirt out thinking it was just wind and rain she asked if we should run for the house listening to the hail hit the fiberglass top and praying that it didn t get big enough to punch through it i told her no i don t think it lasted more than a minute or maybe two after that it was just normal wind and rain i went out and pulled the truck up to the trailer mdw handed the kids to me one at a time and i stuffed their gibbering little selves into the truck and drove them the hundred feet or so to the door of the house i saw them through the door and went to check on the animals chubby and java were with us aslan and whitetip were in crates inside sir edmund s house had been blown away but he was fine so it must have saved him from the initial blast as his house headed off toward oz it met the gate to the pen where the buck goats and the last two dogs bumble bee and murphy were confined the gate ceased to be a barrier and the house kept going i found the goats in the barn looking shocked but unharmed and murphy was still in his house bumble bee had come straight to us as we were loading into the truck the horses were nowhere to be seen i just hoped they were someplace sheltered they were fine as it turns out all critters accounted for i went into the house to help mdw as she continued to try and calm the kids my clothes were soaked and my scalp still felt raw taking off my shirt i asked if my scalp was bleeding everyone looked at me there was a brief pause and the weeping redoubled my right westerly side and back looked like i had been shot with bbs hundreds of welts from the hail stones which had been between raisin and grape sized yes they stung sadly my camera was on a table in the screen room as best i can tell it only takes about 3 hailstones to permanently deactivate a canon s3 but aside from that we got off very lightly 4 kids scared but unhurt 7 dogs bewildered and wet but unhurt 2 horses escaped from downed fence but sensible enough not to run off 1 gate gone quickly rehung 1 dog hut mia soon relocated 1 door repaired 1 ridge pole replaced 50 1 awning replaceable 300 1 skin welts fading to strange purplish spots god is good and his angels wings are a mighty shelter even from hail storms by my best guess based on the distance to the trees and how long it took to reach me i calculated that it was moving between 70 and 90 mph posted in me 13 comments may 7 2008 by oddmix i actually played the words for the weekly words challenge which remains semi permanently guest hosted by tink were fire and three my subject for both of the words is gabriella fire need i explain three yesterday she had one boer goat now she has three see my camera does still work proof and you can click for more a dog and his boy honeysuckle a few hours late maybe but i played posted in me 7 comments may 2 2008 by oddmix woot and squeeeeeee we signed they signed the notary signed we take possession on the 15th of may wooohooo i see a light at the end of the tunnel posted in me 9 comments april 30 2008 by oddmix less than you want to know well everything looks like a go on the house but i won t say it is a done deal until the ink is dry hopefully thursday evening mdw and the kids moved the camper down here ten days ago i felt like noah on the trip because i was towing a trailer with two horses five dogs and twenty five goats in the truck with me were two more dogs and three kids of the human variety the trip normally takes less than eight hours this one took over fifteen lets just say that if i believed in the concept of purgatory i d think i had a green light on the pearly gates so we are living the rv life albeit parked in the drive of the house and getting the critters settled and they take allot of settling until the lease is signed and we take possession later this week the plan is for the zoo to leave me here and head back north to tie up some loose ends and have a birthday party whilst i stay here and keep the beasties alive and keep working to fund the whole operation so there you have it the odd situation in a nutshell unless you are allergic to nuts in which case you can have it on the half shell unless you are also allergic to shellfish in which case you can have it in...
