Like (on the original post, go to mollys and look for these pics) and share it to help Rachel’s 4h club win some buckles!

Rachel just loves the buckles the big girls in her club have, and she REALLY wants one of her own!

Gonna be weeks, maybe months of clean-up and prep down the road... But the insurance is going to come up so short on me, that the metal building kit prices are looking attractive. Has anyone actually bought and built one?

Is the steel quality reasonable?
Do the sellers actually help with permitting, and etc?
Are they sensibly designed so they go up like they say they should?

Honest opinion, easier and cheaper? Or flimsy and no advantage over building your own?

Status Report on RainShadow…

Cautionary tale about shop fire prevention…

06/29/2026

Wildfire swept through…

… while I was out of town.

In Selah WA.

All people, pets, and puppies are safe!

We were about an hour from grandmas when we got the news…

Switched on the phone and watched LOTS of my “stuff” burn on my security cameras, while not enough of our FD guys fought way too many house fires, and came by regularly to protect my home.

Home is ok so far, still lots of wind and my big shop is still burning in the crumpled core. Lots of stuff down the hill is still burning, BUT it’s surrounded by burned grass, so it looks promising for the house.

RainShadow 2, & 3 are there now doing detailed fire prevention for the house while 40 trucks and 2 helicopters are still chasing this one through the neighborhood. 150 acres plus of rural neighborhoods… not grasslands.

I’ll head back tomorrow.

Truck, RV, two shops (knife shop and wood shop are completely cooked,) three sheds, one kennel, three boats, tractor, the list is going to be very long… a list of STUFF.

Material stuff would burn anyway.

God is in control, Guys.

The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away….

Just wanted to let everyone know that we’re going to have a litter of English Creme Golden Retrievers in June!

This is our Jazzy. She’s an AKC lite Golden, with a wonderful sweet goofy personality. She’s calm and loving, and intensely birdy!

I know it’s not the Labs, but let me know if you’d like in on these puppies!

I changed the grip on this knife.

Now it’s moose antler and leather.

9” OAL.

The purple trimmed inlay wasn’t looking right, so I leveled it off and laminated it with heavy leather.

Leather on leather in the sheath works out great, and the howling coyote sets it off nicely!
