Wow, wow and twice around the carpark to come back in for another wow.
No, I hadn't seen it - how beautiful.

jinx - that's a great house. I particularly like the cat rug.

Is the house difficult to heat?

jinx · 09-11-2007, 07:38 PM

Thanks!

The house definitely has warm/cold spots. We keep thinking we'll put a wood stove in one of these days. Gotta build a chimney first...

There are some pellet stoves that can use through-the-wall vents. Or, if you have an old fireplace you might be able to get a wood or pellet insert. I put a pellet insert in mine and have a free-standing wood stove in the basement.

jinx - you guys have a beautiful place. I love the snow pictures.

Here is my morning commute to the shop as requested by Ms. Jinx. This is about a half-hour drive in all.. not counting deer or antelope crossing the roads at any given moment:

Starting at 15 minutes into the drive..

Getting closer to the mountains..

And closer..

Ranch dogs stay in the bed

Onto the county road..

The shop where we all meet in the morning and head out from there

I took this shot yesterday morning on my way to work. This is about a half-mile from my house.

O hai, an Iowa thread... Hmm... Nah, I can't defend it, not gonna try...

HungLikeJesus · 04-30-2008, 10:57 AM

It's not really an Iowa thread (despite the title) - it's a commute thread.

Gorgeous picture, HLJ. Do they have rocks in Iowa?

Dingleschmutz · 04-30-2008, 11:14 AM

All I read was the first post (I'm lazy like that), where LabRat was trying to dispel well-deserved Iowa stereotypes. It's not ALL corn, granted, but I live in the capital, and you can be in all-corn country within 10 minutes of anywhere in the city.

If we wanna talk about my commute though, it takes me through West Yuppie-burg, not much to share.

Yes, we throw them at minorities.

I keep a few in the glovebox to feed out of the sunroof at tailgaiters. . .

HLJ, looks like a good source of meat.

HungLikeJesus · 05-01-2008, 12:22 PM

Elk cows average about 500 lbs, and I count about 40 just in that picture (which only shows part of the herd), so that's about 20,000 lbs. I don't know how much of that is meat.
