Post A Photo, A Real Photo

[zannej]

My friend's door arrived and he assembled it. It was missing some of the hanging hardware so its being sent (seller was good about it). He took this pic in his daughter's room.

Jake threw a couple of rocks at it and missed, I gave it a couple of stomps with a Redwing boot and he was done. These things make me say bad words!

Kill them.
Kill every one you can find.
Kill them all!!!
Planet Earth needs zero of those!
(Great pic with the blood! ) ...I say bad words about those too and am keeping my extended vocabulary under control.
Required photo, a real chainsaw:

One of my coworkers got a couple shots of the switch install we did a week and a half ago. Seeing 5 crawlers work with synchronization to move a switch is impressive...

Note that I am not in any of these pictures...

Thats pretty cool to see

Was that a copperhead you curbstomped? Beautiful markings but the venom is no bueno.

Spider cars are cool. One of these days I need to get a photo of the muffler man. Someone built a tin man out of car parts (including a muffler) in front of a muffler shop in one of the surrounding towns. Can't remember which one though. Might have been on the way to Mamou.

That is a DEAD copperhead. The best kind.
Live ones kill people and pets.
Required photo, one that people like me and @hashbrown haven't gotten to yet:

We have those down here, but many more water moccasins.
Satan's hand-puppet is a correct term.

Isn't that green tail a juvenile?

Definitely looks photoshopped to me. The straight edges of the Kharman Ghia are too contrasty with the background. There is no structure in it's wheel wells - no hints of suspension components or drive train - just solid black. In the second picture, look at the bottom of the Beetle. Must have been sawed perfectly straight with a giant saw blade - that's not what the bottom of a Beeltle looks like - the doors come well below the axle centerline. Not to mention that there is a little tree behind the rear most leg on the passenger side of the Kharmin Ghia in the second photo, which is missing in the first photo.

Cool idea though ... if you have too much time on your hands.

I think it's real. The missing tree is just out of the frame.

There are some of these creatures over the hill in the Wolfcreek area.

We get copperheads around here. I'll have to dig up pics. My dad had very good aim with a gun. Took the head off one in 1 shot. One time we were having work done on our old satellite dish and the tech brought his kid with him. Kid stepped on a copperhead but the copperhead didn't budge. It curled up and tried to remain unnoticed. I told the kid to walk to me slowly- away from the copperhead. It stayed still hoping we wouldn't notice it. Then I told the guy. "Don't be alarmed, but your son just stepped on a copperhead." and pointed to it. He told the kid to go to the truck and stayed away from the snake. I went to get a machete but it had slithered away before I came back.

I did not look at all pictures to see if the ones above are included, but there seem to be many of the bug/spider statues around! Quick Goofball search results:

Pictures from the Enchanted Highway in North Dakota

 

[Weedygarden]

1913 Woman homesteader, Mellette County, South Dakota. This photo came from South Dakota History of Cities, Towns, places and people who made it great! Group. There is a fairly large home in the background. It is large for the times. Homesteaders often built small shacks, maybe 14 x 14 and covered them with tar paper. This is the county where one of my great aunts homesteaded. Lots of clay, wind, rattlesnakes, and little rain or standing water.

Is that a baby she is carrying in front of her?

 

[Weedygarden]

Is that a baby she is carrying in front of her?

That question was asked in the group where it was shared. I can't really tell, but it could be. It could also be something she was carrying in a gunny sack, like her lunch or a jar of water or something.

 

[Haertig]

If that's a baby, looks like it's due for a diaper change.

 

[Amish Heart]

I'm guessing she's walking with the seed. The horses are walking the log used for weighting down the metal piece used to make rows to plant.

After looking closer I agree! And wow, wonder who took that picture??

 

[Weedygarden]

I thought that it might be seed as well. I found a news clipping about my great aunt who had homesteaded in the same county, about the same time. She had hired someone to plant for her. She hired out doing housework.

The plow is a harrow, or as it's known around here a "JoHar" plow. I have one over at the old barn. They are still used with horses.

The sack is seed with a small board in it. The bag is burlap. The board holds the bag open so seed can be grabbed easily.

Shoving your hand into the bag all day, for one handful of seed at the time... The burlap will scrub the hide off the back of your hand, very rough surface.

The board in the bag reduces this friction by holding it open. The technique is to slide your hand down the board, grab a hand full of seed then pull your hand back out. A very smooth board is usually kept in the barn, we used to have one for this purpose. Used when seeding...

The Johar has dozens of short metal spikes, the angle they enter the soil is adjustable.

In this case the spike angle is small, just enough to cover the seed she sows.

Edit a newer pic of the JoHar, the upright levers are for the adjustment of the angle of the spikes into the ground.

Good photo, Peanut. I know I have distant cousins that still farm that way in Ohio and Indiana. They use really big horses

I hadn't looked that closely to see the plow. I have never seen one of these. There might be some in museums, and probably some in other people' barns as well. The log of wood probably helped the plow dig into the earth better.
