Guys, my hands are to crippled up to play my instruments anymore and they deserve to be played. 1911 gibson mandolin that was my dads and my 1957 gibson es125 hollow body guitar. If you know a musician looking for some vintage insruments, That is how id like to fund the rest of this if anyone is interested. My dad would be thrilled if I could.

I was fortunate to be able to check both these out at the Pig Roast a couple years ago, they definitely deserve a good home. (Jeff, please keep me posted on that beautiful pre-war Gibson mandolin. ;))

Nice progress on the land!

Its taken a bjunch of years for the nut to sprout and put a tap root down far enough to start taking off. This year they started to take off.  2 trees survive of the original 4 nuts planted.

Finally getting a better look via google earth of my work at the cabin. What once was so much brush, is beginning to be something special.

I planted some butternut in 2016 in the Arthur blow down area on my place. It had been aspen and ash in there. 2 years ago in my walk about video they was already over my head. I have a couple older ones that are not too far from making nuts. They don't need to be all that big. One I transplanted for my uncle was making nuts when it was only about a 3" stem.

I've been waiting for a update google picture at my place for 10 years. 
My place looks a lot different now too.
 It was updated about 10 years ago to show some places that I have cleared off.

What is very noticeable about your place Jeff, is that yours is the only food source improved property that is visible.

It was 2 years between seeing the aerial photo plane fly over and seeing my new house on Google Earth. I knew it was an aerial photo plane because they fly east-west back and forth. The photos overlap about a 30% coverage between one another and as much over the border because they capture the windmills on Mars Hill. I've got imagery from 2019, 21, and 22.
