@Brock , if you still have no reply you can either ship them to me or @Cutlasshound . I can ship them on to him when he gets back from his travels

If I’m the last person in the US then I can send them to you. If not it makes more sense for me to send them over once he returns…

I sold @Madmoses a shirt and we got to talking about this tour and how I had the jeans in kind of a stagnant moment… so they went with the shirt and he should have them shortly!

Atta boy. He’s going to a tough act to follow.

Damn. Just read over Brock’s leg and that will be hard to follow. Thanks for setting the bar high (Seriously awesome Brock) I’ll read the rest of this tour soon.
But I am honored to have gotten a chance to participate in this world tour and I will do my IH duty!

Day 1: I received these and I was surprised how well they fit! They’re not the most comfy pair to actually work in due to the top block, but I really love the slim legs with sneakers.
So here I am in them in my backyard. My wife and I own 33 mostly wooded acres on the Maumee River in Ohio. I am pretty far upstream so you can only kayak/canoe or troll out from my place most of the season unless the water is up. There is good fishing behind our house though, as there is a nice deep hole from some long ago dredging.
I am currently working on extending the yard further out into the woods and making the ground I’m standing on into a large entertainment area with a fire pit, so I will keep an update on that and do all of the work in the chocolate 888’s! I will be using the river rocks for the fire pit, although I’m sure it will be nowhere near as amazing as the one in Brock’s family’s cabin (like holy shit dude lol). I’ll also be using some of the river rocks for other landscaping around our house.
So here my wife took some photos of me getting ready to till and level the area before going further!

After that, we went to my sister’s house — she’s out of town so we are checking on her animals and such. We collected some eggs, fed the cows, dogs, and cats, then headed home for some beer.
I don’t normally have 3 growlers of beer on hand like this, but I am part of our small town’s Economic Development Corp., and we hosted an “After Hours” event the evening before so I got to take all the leftover beer home [emoji847]
This beer is from a small brewery in a town just west of here — Hicksville, Ohio. It’s ok, everyone laughs at the name! But Two Bandits Brewing has become a local favorite for their creative rotating menu, as well as staple beers such as Dead Frog and Killer Bee. They brew lots of other beers too, and have recently expanded to the building next to their current facility to begin bottling their beer. Many of their beers are unfiltered, high ABV (my fave), or different in general and they have a cool motorcycle theme going on in their bar. I will go there while I’m still on tour! [emoji6]

After drinking some beer from Two Bandits Brewing Co. I decided to work some more before dark.
Here’s the yard in the woods looking toward the house. The ring there is the connecting ring from two big tractor tires on a big farm tractor (there’s a farm machinery dealer in my town and they gave it to me [emoji1303]) I’ll use it to stack river rocks against for the fire pit, and then surround it with something nice for the seating area. If anybody has any good recommendations, feel free! I’m thinking perhaps smaller pea gravel to match the river rock? There will be a short retaining border to make it look finished and I’ll use the surrounding trees to help break it off as well.
I made some passes on our family’s cub tractor with a tiller implement that my dad has had forever. It’s been well used and loved and has served us well making many trails, gardens and the like.
