And the pile of walnuts in the back yard keeps growing. It's about a foot & a half high between the two trees.:)

Yeah, it’s that time. What do you do with them? I remember Grandpa used to bring burlap sacks full home from their cabin in Missouri, lay them out in the gravel driveway, and drive over them with his Volkswagon to remove the messy hulls.

I get so many from the trees I planted, it’s crazy. Each fall I usually fill my garden cart a couple of times, and dump them over on the seven acres around the pond that we jointly own with the other folks on our little dead end road.
The tree rats get most, though, and plant them in my garden. 😬
 
Apologize for not having time to look through 15 pages of posts, but it certainly is relaxing to enjoy all the nice pics / stories with a cup of swill, guilty pleasure. ferider ferider that Dozier is a beauty!

Three Oklahoma slipjoint makers on the desk. Going to rotate them throughout the day. Testing new light cone to diffuse light and reduce / eliminate reflections. Effective, but still not easy.

I just pile them up & the squirrels can come & get them. Just last week, my wife bought a pound bag of walnuts from the Amish store down the road for $2.49. It's been a long time since I've shelled & picked walnuts, but I'm sure my time's worth more than $2.49/lb. These trees are in the back yard, and there's another 15 or 20 walnut trees on both sides of the creek bank beside our house that the squirrels have "planted" over the years.
 
A fine barehead Jeff.👌 Enjoy yours too.
Appreciate it, my friend!
Another piece of elk antler saved from becoming a dog’s gnaw bone. 🫢
Great to hear, Bob! I follow in your hipsteps tomorrow... 😲 :D
Best of luck to ya!
I wish you luck. The process is not as bad as I thought. A week and a half and moving to a Cain. Never had to use pain meds.
My thoughts are with you Jim.🙏
Cain. Abel. I can’t tell them apart either. 🥴

I’m glad to hear your mobility is on track, Bob!
