Looks delish 25. I've had the honor of shelling 4 bushels of purple hulls this year, but didn't get any cucumbers or tomatoes.

That's the drag line at the Black Butte coal mine. Every time we drive by it my son still calls it a drag lion.
I bet it looks a bit different now. I think I took that pic in 2006. Where exactly is it at? I think it is around Rock Springs somewhere but cant remember for sure. Been a while since I been through there, havent had much reason to since moving to WA. Pretty amazing how much dirt it has moved!

It's east of Rock Springs just past Point of Rocks. I grew up in Rock Springs and went out there on a few field trips in grade school.

I thought it was around there somewhere. hard to remember sometimes when your passing through, especially after this long.

See if ATW can top that one! That drag line would eat the ones in the pics he posted for breakfast! HAHAHA;)

Got my AR done today! Its a 204 Ruger, Aero Precision upper and lower, CMC trigger, the rest is DMPS other then the buffer and butt stock. Still need a new scope but havent decided what I want yet so I put the scope in the pics on it for now since I had it from another gun. Got about $900 into it now.

Pretty sweet gun MM. I don't know much about .204 other than it is really fast I guess. Is that going to be the coyote exterminator? The couch looks comfy, too. :)

Maybe but kinda hard to give up the old 22-250 for yotes! Alot of why I built the 204 is I didnt want to make a 223 like everyone else has and the 204 has always interested me for some reason. Im going to build a 6.8 spc next. I have the upper and lower for it already and will prob start buying pieces in a few months after hunting season.

Sweet rig MM! Sounds like you got it set up for a pretty decent price although nothing about AR's is cheap!
Can save quite a bit if you want to and are patient. I got a blemished upper and lower much cheaper and really the blemishes are nothing it wouldnt get with a few uses. Not many barrel choices for a 204 Ruger but could get a much cheaper barrel in 223. Could have saved a bunch on the trigger but i wasnt about to use a standard trigger. I kinda built it after the Remington R15 which lists for about $1500 and I have a better barrel and trigger. This is my first one outside of the military. It was interesting getting all the parts and making how I wanted it!

Howdy boys, finally got some down time. 3rd crop is in the barn and 4th is gonna be chopped so life is slowing down for a while!! Spent some time working on the pickup yesterday, put some skins and shocks on it, went with Nitto's Terra Grapplers in 285/70's and some Bilsteins 5100's that are height adjustable that I set to level her out!! It rides so much better over the stock shocks it isn't even funny!!!
