yeah iowa is my spot of spots. grew up in the country. for a few yrs we lived on trout streams in northern ia, which was fantastic. in other locations of iowa quite often corn, alfalfa & soybeans were our neighbors. like you mentioned, hunting & fishing
mr. mcgruff10, where is home? have you ever been to alaska, mexicali, illinois or missouri?
good luck, mickrat sounds like you're doing it. w/ those day cabs you'll be jackknife backing up like a real champ good luck, buddy
home is new jersey (about five miles from the ocean). I've been to all four places you mentioned; i'd go back to alaska in a heartbeat. I'm trying to head out to montana/idaho this summer. my wife has never seen the rockies!
how do you guys get your wives or g/fs to watch bloody & violent flicks? it is important to me to watch war flicks, based on actual events typea films. the good lady here has zero interest in okinawa, saipan or some poor bastard getting his nose busted in a boxing ring. god dammit we're talking about WWII & whatnot. zero interest
?well guess what i am going to the theater next month for "hacksaw ridge" i'll be going alone & stuff the true story of medal of honor recipient, army medic, desmond doss
good fucking shit
i admire her for getting ill at the sight of violence. nonetheless it's on, doss is a badass. medal of honor guys... it does not get anymore (everything)

Was watching The Walking Dead with my wife last night and she turned away a few times and asked me to let her know when "she could look again." She gets upset at any display of violence. Also like that about her. Me? I am OK with it so long as it is make believe. Would never want to watch that happen to someone in real life.
That Hacksaw movie looks pretty good. Would like to read the story before seeing it, in the event they fuck it up, like they did Unbroken. What a truly spectacular movie...and really not a very good film adaptation.
I say you rock going to the movie alone. You can tell her about it after, will be another thing to talk about. I enjoy going to the movies alone sometimes.

Chadwick: I have a fence to take down, my deck needs painted, my garden needs torn out and mowed, I have 6 or 7 sandstone blocks to move, a pile of firewood to restack, a pile of gravel to rake out, and a pile of brush that needs burned but only if the fence comes down first. I have 3.5 hours to work tomorrow and the weather will be chilly but clear. Where should I start?
that is some chores list. gotta paint when it's warm. garden work next spring? take down the fence, burn the brush as you restack the firewood & rake out the gravel, skipping around from task to task, a little here, a little there, gravel, firewood, gravel, firewood, break time sitting on the stump you chop firewood on. sip on coffee or hot tea or whatever your favorite beverage. tunes & work go hand in hand. you know what else to do to get ironed out
wishing i had a fireplace or woodstove. that is good stuff. you know what i really want to have one day? a cast iron wood burning cook stove. new ones $3,000 - $10,000. hell i should just go cook with a amish family. also a canvas tent or yurt with a woodstove would thoroughly be badass erected in the backyard.

A little this, a little that...I like it, usually I dig into one task at a time, that will be a nice change of pace.

We had one of those in the kitchen I grew up in. We used it for heat but not for cooking. (Keeping food warm, yes.) I hated that damn thing -- but this is from the perspective of a kid who had to make sure to re-chop the wood into pieces that would fit in the front of the thing where the wood went...and constantly feeding it if you wanted it to stay hot. Also, constantly emptying the ashes from the bottom....and if you screwed up the house would fill with smoke. The absolute worst part? Burning yourself regularly because....well, because there was a ridiculously hot wood stove right in the frigging kitchen. It sorta looked like this, although nicer looking. It is still there, I imagine my mother would entertain selling if you wanted to drive to Vermont and pick it up.
This was one of three stoves in the house that we kept running during the winter. Huge 200 yr old house, it was hard to keep it warm. We were so happy when we had enough financial stability to start using oil heat as we grew into older kids. The big stove in the basement had to be loaded every night before bed and the last person to bed got stuck doing it....we would race to make sure we werent the last ones downstairs as kids. And...you had to fill that frigging thing up to the brim if you wanted to be warm all night so you would always burn your forearms beyond the gloves when stuffing it full of wood.
Fuck...people who never heated with wood in cold climates will never understand what it is to burn yourself on a regular basis or chop up 10 cord of wood.
I have a fireplace in my house now and I dont use it. My wife didn't heat with wood as a kid so she doesn't get why I always find a reason not too.
Let me know if you want to drive to VT, I can ask my mother if she would part with it.
The love he receives is the love that is saved

I grew up in a house heated by a coal furnace. Dad picked up loads of coal in the trunk of whatever beater he was driving at the time and we had to shovel it in the coal shute and gather sticks and chop wood to get it lit. Once you got the coal burning the heat was tremendous, the vents would be too hot to touch. Spring cleaning the coal soot off the walls and ceilings was always the most dreaded chore!

This is one of my favorite threads.
It's also given me a hankering for a good old-fashioned wood-choppin' showdown.
rgambs, i'm not much of a real hot pepper guy. jalapenos is about as far as i go. although i do like a hot sauce with some kick to it, it's good for cooking with. in junior high a friend & i would eat jalapenos during class, the one who got up & went & got water was the loser. jalapenos are dog-shit-weaklings. when i was a teenager i worked in a restaurant & i used to make hot sauce & did other kitchen tasks. the peppers were purple, shriveled up & dried. they made your hands purple. use gloves. do not touch yourself when having a restroom break. i learn a lot of things the hard way.
f me in the brain, your childhood sounds fantastic to me. kids are good at hauling firewood in wheelbarrows & stacking the stuff. when they're a bit older they're good at running a axe & hatchet. those things make kids grow up strong & whatnot, nothing wrong with that. sometimes we used to stack our logs in fort fashion then we would play war & stuff. it's not very good at keeping out the snow though which makes for more work. i do not remember many times when the folks worked the woodpiles. i'll sound like a old, grouchy man now... kids today are... you know.

This is all true. Much as I whined about it as a kid it was good bonding for my brother, sister, and I. (And for any of our friends who we could sucker into helping out during the summer. "Sure, we can play bb-gun wars AFTER we haul & stack the load of logs my dad is chopping up...do you want to help?") We also built forts....made me think of the best part of the wood piles.....when we were getting ready to go fishing, we would move a few piles and get all of the grubs and worms from underneath where they were hiding. The trout loved those.
RGambs....coal. Our home was outfitted for coal but we didn't use that furnace. Scrubbing walls sounds like not so much fun.

From here, I'd say you both are blessed, by and with each other.
Me, I do not like violence in real life, though feel a "must" type of feeling for certain films or documentaries.
On the fictional kind in a movie or something like Grand Theft Auto? I'll take it, for its release.
