[tongue+groove] From vanilla to spumoni

[Tongue+groove]

The maple is much more sturdy than the walnut and less likely to split. I still need to replace the walnut paddle. I have some hickory (ouch) I could use or even some cherry. Cherry is a very dense wood. It might have a little more bite to it. I have read some posts about a whip recently I don’t think I would be opposed to giving that a go.

Still looking forward to the demand that I cut my own switch. Nothing like a peach tree limb to lite an ass up.

The famous heart paddle made from a quality hard maple from the ozarks. A truly effective instrument.

Oh that is lovely I would GLADLY pay you to make such a thing for @MrsLockNkey and send to us lol

Probably not going to be making too much for awhile. Tornadoes went through last night. Mrs. G and I are fine but neighboring farm is large scale they lost millions in structures timber and equipment.

Been over ther all day rounding up livestock and restoring fence. It will take months to clean up and years to rebuild.

Oh wow!!! Thanks goodness you and Mrs G are ok. Bless you for being a blessing to those around you

Checking the news, an EF 3 tornado went through Poplar Buff,MO and Cave City, AR. A lot of damage.

Glad you and Mrs G are safe. Did Mrs G lose any chicken?

Mrs. G saw the track of the one that went past us. It started in south central MO, was on the ground until some where in ILL. Not sure of the size yet.

No church today, no electricity. Headed back to help neighbors. Probably be awhile on electric. At last count there were 47 electric poles destroyed just in our area. So far everything destroyed is replaceable.

At least no one around here is making any funeral plans.

Life goes on, that’s a good thing.

Im sorry to hear about the damages in your community, but it’s also very heartwarming to see people working together in difficult times.
Your neighbors are lucky to have you!

Invest in a generator. During a hurricane 10 years ago, lost $400 worth of food. Now Mrs. Ark can set up the generator in 20 minutes and have both refrigerators running, heat / cooling, her internal up and running. Next step is secure enough gas to run generator for a few days

We’re set up on generator. We have power. But it’s difficult to conceive a farm that spreads for miles in various directions. This is so vast that it’s difficult to comprehend. Enjoy your steaks, it’s. People like this that make it happen, just for the love of the lifestyle.

Thanks again for the encouraging words.

Putti;g a roof on a house tomorrow if all goes well.

Today is already playing on my mind, it’s going to have some serious challenges. The only reason I even know what day it is , is because Mrs. G is coming home this afternoon.

So here’s the scenario. I was put in the nub on Sunday before she left. Reason being was because of the tornado damage. I worked all day Saturday uncaged. We weren’t sure what the conditions would be like. However the sweat, dirt, bending, crawling, climbing and some of the hazardous conditions caused me some skin irritation. It seems that this year in lockup has caused me to become quite sensitive.

So on Sunday she left for daughter’s house and I went to start clearing trees so we could put part of a roof on a house. I didn’t even get to the site when I felt something odd. Upon inspection I realized I had partially slipped out. With some struggles I was able to remove the nub. That’s when I realized I used the wrong ring. I had been out of the nub for so long I forgot I had to downsize the ring. I’ve been loose and free ever since. Probably wasn’t a bad thing since yesterday I was climbing and building stick rafters, a lot of rafter straddling trying to remove, repair damaged material.

Mrs. G got upset when she didn’t hear from me all day. She has been following every message with , this is her symbol for reminding me that I should be dripping. She’s working me up for my big cum event tonight.

Now the problem. I haven’t told her I have been loose. I didn’t want to put her in a bind with daughter in her continual presence. I will have that discussion when she gets home. I can say that I have been hands off and faithful to the cause. But I’ve also been so exhausted that I barely get showered and in bed. If today is the same I will be too exhausted for her this evening. I’m sure she will understand but, she’s also got plans too.

This storm has done so much destruction. It’s emotionally and physically draining. Everywhere you look debris is tangled up with mangled trees. Buildings appear to have just exploded and we occasionally find objects that no one can identify where it came from.

People have been wonderful. Coming from everywhere to help and bringing food too. I’m ready for normal.

I enjoyed catching up here this morning. I long for watching the smile on Mrs. G’s face when she turns that lock again, putting her hand on my chest and stretching upwards to kiss me. then saying those beautiful words that I long to hear.

“Good boy”

Life is still good.
