Looking good.
I am waiting on cooler weather to avoid the ticks and other bugs that are out in force.

I like what you're doing. Old 60's Ford 850 here with a Pippens backhoe of similar vintage.

Nice finds! Do you knap?

all the finds seem to relate to the Guildford culture, 5000 to 6000 years old,, I not to far from where the culture was first described... if you search guildford axe you get matches to the axe I found...

Elegoo Saturn 4 16k resin printer,, Slim was given orders to guard it or the first thing printed would be his replacement (with attitude upgrades)
