fishing and the new beach

Colby and I decided to go fishing this sunday because he is slowly coming out of lockdown. we tried a couple of ponds but no luck so we tried our new pond to see how big the fish are getting HUGE is the word colby used. we caught 16 crapie and 2 bass they were very nice. Here is a pic. of the bass and crapie. he seems to be happy.

The new Beach is what come to mind when colby and I returned from fishing. Emma told me that she needed some shade in the yard so she planted some shade. Only Emma! Is what I thought...had to show andrea, she thought something had to be going on when Emma went by the window with the umbrella. till next time vance

spring Fever

Hopeful we have seen the last snow for the winter so we made the best of it by giving rides on the sled behind the 4-wheeler.the kids had alot of fun about all they could say is go faster or emma would say colby fell off I think she had something to do with that.




A fifty degree day in march is like a eighty degree day in may you've gotta love it. so i've been out side doing some spring cleaning and fixing of my own. pic of the lights that work once agian in the garage. see there on.




Do you see what i see ,oh ya green grass can't wait

ice storm in south missouri

this ice storm in south missouri can not be summed up into words, but if it was the only one that I can think of is tragic. This a pics. of a dog at JD Plunkett's one of the happy customers we got power to while in hytie mo. This was one of the few animals we saw down there. notice the downed powerlines in bottom of the pic.
this is a picture of guess who, yours truly tying in the new powerline
This was a great moment the pole that i am on below has a transformer on it that feeds one light down the street in the town of hayward while tying it in i hooked the light up on the way down. two days later when we turned the power back on to some people, low and behold i see the light come on. talk about a good feeling. the next day on the way to work on another piece of line the words Thank You were wrote on a cardboard box set at the side of the road. Those words made everything worth it.
more pic. of downed poles and some ice

HOME SWEET HOME is what we call this place the first night there. Hope you have enjoyed some picture of the storm.

coming home to the family was the highlight of the whole trip. vance
