Different bales than when I farmed. When I farmed, the cotton bales were rectangular and 3/4 the size of a standard OTR semi trailer

Yeah, they’re smaller now for the modern machines. They are around 500lbs. About 54x33. I remember the big ones from back in the day!

77 in my pocket while starting to sort out the stuff I keep under the seat of my Kawasaki now it’s back from Andalucía.

I hope nun of your stuff is missing.
I had a '65 Dodge A100 flat nose pickup towed from a shop in Nebraska to So Cal. by my landlord, after a main bearing went south, on our way to Michigan.
When I got it back the in dash AM/FM radio, along with the speakers (a birthday gift from landlord's daughter) and my new 50 inch High Lift jack were missing.
My landlord noticed the were gone. When he asked, they lied, claiming I had sold them to the shop. (I really didn't.)
(I traded that pickup for a '64 Simca 1000 soon after. The Dodge needed a different engine. Even with a 0.800 shim, that main still knocked. The Simca "only" needed a generator. (hard to find. Car was imported by Chrysler. The Chrysler parts department asked/exclaimed (quote) " WHAT THE F*CK IS A SIMCA?!?" (I told him "A French car brand thar Chrysler used to own and import.") Needless to say, they didn't have one. Neither did the parts houses or auto recyclers.
Having the thing rewound cost several hundred more than I had.
Due to the mounting, a GM/Ford/VW generator could not be used. I used a charger overnight, and portable battery booster, for long trips, and at night, until I traded it for a Honda CL450 motorcycle a previous owner "chopperized" with a Harley Hog rear wheel a fork that was 12 inches too long (yes. everywhere I rode it was "uphill") and short TT pipes without baffles or mufflers.
I bough a CB 360 fork at the Orange Show swap meet, and fixed the fork problem after the engine oil pump quit/retired.
I bought a CB500 twin engine to replace the seized 450 twin engine.
The 450 died just before income tax refund came in.

Getting ready to leave the house today I had my Buck 303 in my pocket and my Vic Minichamp with my keys, but since I was going to be outside at a state park I thought I should have something on my belt too. (Just seemed like the right thing for a "knife guy" to do.) I reached for my Buck 501 but then noticed my Schrade LB5 and thought, "Perfect choice!". When I got home I posed it with a gorgeous mum that my wife has on the front porch.

Pioneer for Friday.

They're Redwings. After I wore down the heels on the white crepe soles, I sent them in to be re-soled with Vibrams.

The original soft soles are really comfortable, and don't pick up mud, but they wear fast on rock, and concrete. Or super fast on asphalt shingles.

Thanks Amir, I'm in the market for a new pair.

You're welcome.
I highly reccommend only looking at boots that are made in the USA. Buy once, cry once...
Each of the three RW stores from whom I've bought are a flashback to the good 'ol days with employees/owners who really know their stuff.

Yep! There are three things that I've learned to never skimp on- Boots, tires, and toilet paper.

Funnily enough, I feel weird posting today's carry here: compared to my usual revolver, the semi-auto does not feel traditional enough

A Colt 1911 is about as traditional as semi-autos can be.

Two from Camillus New York, one from Switzerland.

Constant movement means it took 7 tries at a pic.

Not fall colors, but the prairie grasses show off this time of year. I steal seeds from native prairies.
This is Big Indian Grass. It can get 6 or 8 feet tall.

This is Canadian Wild Rye.

First frost hit pretty good. Looks like I'm finally done picking beans and cherry tomatoes. The lettuce, beets, and onions rock on.

Have a great day!

Charity benefit chicken lunch, then pool at Eagles this afternoon. Poker later in the day
I like the slimness and lightness of the Cadet when wearing shorts. 49F is a little too cool for shorts so I traded them in on some Carhartts, and traded my usual Friday Cadet for a Case Mini-Trappercaplifter.
