Love those Estwing's. I have damaged more parts of my body with the 28 oz'er than I can to remember including the bridge of my nose.

Sorry about your nut Craig.

a year later......

last year about a week from now
on the dreaded 10/30 Halloween storm from hell
that fried all my electronic stuff in the house
and CRUSHED my Big hoop house like nuthin...

i am still salvaging parts and making lemonaide out of lemons

this is my "little greenhouse" (half arch) thats heated by two ac's
that freshin's the air inside sending warmed air outside into a
contolled space.....
and,,, it can work in reverse when in "FAN mode"

you can Siphon hot air from within the green house (7' x 21')
and send it inside the house for reducing the oil consumption.

it still smarts a bit ....similar to that groin pull feeling

fisherman TIM great name.... (you hit the bulls eye man...)


i had no tool shed to speak of and the other greenhouse
is so far away from the house i had zero control over the mice!
they destroyed 95% of anything i planted
it's no wonder that the owls LOVE this canyon...

this time...however our maine coon cat will be able to travel via the cellar window out into the green house and kill them
without even getting wet.... or being preyed upon by coyotes, foxes, or fishers... all of which pay regular visits here each week.

in mint condition from a big ole fancy house
thats gonna be just perfect for the ...
wait for it )

-yeah Dave , those freakin mice just lick the peanut butter
off the mouse traps without setting them off

I once took a tennis ball (on a serve) right in the left nut. It hit so clean and square it was like I had seperated it out and held it out front like a target. No getting around it.....that is an eye opener!!
