Young men, guns, curry, plumbing and bonfires

We collected scrap metal from a lady's yard to help pay for rehabbing her house. The scrap yard wouldn't take these old gas cylinders unless we removed the valve on top, or put holes in tank. Gee, no brainer - let's put holes in them...using high powered rifles at long range. You can't do this in the city.

K8's first attempt at making Indian beef curry turned out very tasty.

We lost water pressure and I traced it to this water bubbler. Had water coming up out of the ground from a broken line. Required professional help.

Took a few hours and a few hundred dollars, but it's now fixed.

Finally got around to burning brush pile from last year's clearing of a few acres on the hill. As you can see by the comparison of K6's body to the brush, the pile was bigger than our house.

It was very dry, so with a little help from some liquid fuel, it ignited fast, and the fire was huge. There was no wind, but I warned both of my neighbors with houses nearby - one came over to watch it with me. 

All of the grass seeding we did last year is coming up nicely this Spring.
