We arrived at around 8:30pm into St. Louis and headed to BroMike’s beautiful log cabin. We WOULD have been about 1.5 hours earlier except for the existence of random road side flea markets. Can’t they sell the fleas someplace else? We grabbed some most excellent Mexican food and slept hard.<\/p>\n

Here is a good picture of Mike’s new F250 Super Duty Mike and the Schauf Super Duty in White.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mike & Trucks<\/figcaption><\/figure>At around 8:30am this morning (told you we slept hard) we headed to the BroMike barn and began to dig out the wood and other treasures to haul back to Indecision Ranch. We loaded up some Louisiana barge wood that had been repurposed into house siding. Mike’s buddy Paul remodels old homes in Louisiana and had given him a sheit ton (it’s a real weight measurement) from a home he remodeled. We then some very technical and exacting cuts to fit the wood into the bed of the truck. Thanks for the wood guys!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mike in Barn with his wood \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>Here is another picture of the stacks of the wood. Its amazing stuff when you think about how old it is and how good of shape it is still in.<\/p>\n

\"Very<\/a>
Very old barge wood<\/figcaption><\/figure>Below is a very cool NC very old and complete Damascus sewing machine and table. I know, your impressed I know what kind it is. Well, I read good.  The machine actually folds down inside the table. I made sure Mike removed all of the haunted buttons and other bits from the drawers as there were quite a few.<\/p>\n

I remember an old sewing machine like this in my great grandmothers farmhouse in Fort Scott. I always wondered why it was missing the power cord. It’s coming home upside down. I am for sure and certain that Linda has some plans for this when I get it home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Damascus sewing machine<\/figcaption><\/figure>Here is a closeup of one of the larger boards before we masterfully cut it up. It was over 12 feet long and about 18 inches wide. It’s now two pieces for a table or a very cool new computer desk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Barge wood plank<\/figcaption><\/figure>This is a closeup of the bargewood after we cut it. I learned that the heavier wood is, the closer to the bottom of the tree it came from. BroMike says it’s ALL about sap, gravity and growth rate. Note now close the rings are. This tree grew slowly and is therefor more dense.  Its also old. Count the rings… go ahead, I’ll wait for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bargewood rings<\/figcaption><\/figure>I got over 50. And thats just when it was cut! Then it was on a barge for who knows how long and THEN repurposed onto a house which was lived in for probably quite a while before it needed to be completely remodeled. Wow.<\/p>\n

Below is the truck mostly all loaded up. We added some deftly wrapped 6 pane windows in a very quaggy blue tarp and put those on top and tied everything down. Yes that is a real word, I looked it up. No beers were harmed in the loading of this truck. Yes, I voted for Trump and proudly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way out of town we stopped to see BroMark and family. We caught these two high school hooligans lazing around the house with Luna and Ally guarding them. I think something is wrong with Kaylan’s tongue. And that is Drew’s smile, ain’t he handsome! Pretty good goofballs all in all! They are headed to Europe for a school trip in about a week and a half. Remember to watch out for each other and avoid smelly men with backpacks. They are not selling candy and may not be very nice. Watch each other and be safe!!! Take pictures!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Luna, Kaylan, Drew and Ally…<\/figcaption><\/figure>So we finally got on the road a few minutes after noon and plan to drive at least 2 hours today.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention, I may or may not have purchased some fireworks. Did I mention that before? I forget.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: made it to Tulsa, OK. Went to a wedding here once. Should have tried better to stop it. Sorry buddy. Oh, also we decided we would drive 12 hours instead of 2 hours. Thanks to eagle eye!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
