That pitbull looks like he/she wears shades every day.
 
Holy moly, that's a lot of plums. I have two questions:
1) Plums grow in South Dakota?
and
2) What do you do with excess plums? I'm assuming pickled plums don't taste very good. 😉

Yep, we have wild plums everywhere. I've got a row of them behind my shop that I've been tending. They seem to produce a really good crop about every 5 years.

No clue about pickled plums, that sounds terrible, we use them for plum jam! It is amazing. Lots of wild fruits to eat here if you know where & when to look and how to prepare them.

In addition to excellent jam, the wood is really good for smoking meat. Not sure what to compare it to... it's a much stronger flavor than apple or cherry but not bitter. I have to trim the trees every year so I have a TON of it. I made about $400 selling off the excess plum & apple wood this year to others for their smokers.

:unsure:

Think there's a market there for pine? No fruit trees, but I've got a bunch of pine. Its too small for timber, and not enough of it for pulpwood.

I was joking of course, but I'm not sure I knew plums grew so far north. In fact I don't think I ever heard of someone with a wild plum patch in their yard but obviously they must grow somewhere!
Plum jam sounds divine.

Firewood is about all. Pine is not good smoking wood. Pretty much all of the fruit woods are, plus oak, hickory, mesq

I’d send you a jar but I don’t know if it would make it through customs. I give away almost all of the jelly and syrup we make, great Christmas presents.

I was just talking to a guy from Calgary last week and he said peaches grow up there, that was a shock to me.

Peaches in BC, definitely. I'm not aware that Alberta has peaches. Alberta has sour cherries that do very well. Apples. Lots of berries.

I was being facetious, pine isn't good for anything including burning and building. Too smokey for the former. Unfortunately, it's about all anyone can afford for the latter.
 
Ran an internment service for an Air Force veteran at the local National Cemetery.
I'm a funeral director.
 
Finally got myself some of that covid 💪


Only took what.. 3.5 years?


Not bad for an unvax'd habitual nail-biter who doesn't wash their hands enough.


@Rick W can have my paint.

@rusty ol ranger can have the 96... lest he live the rest of his years without sitting behind a REAL motor.


The rest of you can compete in a sexy popsicle eating contest for the rest of my stuff...


I know it'll be awkward.. it's not exactly a super manly thing to compete in.. but I DO have some good stuff so 🤷‍♀️ git r dun fellas its been nice BS'ing with all of you over the past few years.
