 I thought you were a bobcat Oh, hey, honey What's going on? So there may or might not be something very strange in here right now Honestly, I don't know what's going on. What are you doing? I don't know. I don't know what's going on That's the thing. I saw the other night It's like a bug. I mean it just came in the door I know but look at it. What is it? It's going up to our room. What kind of cat is that? Have you ever seen a cat with those kind of stripes? Why do you think it's a bobcat? It looks like look look at the stripes on that thing First of all, it could have fleas and you just divided it into our house. It could have Magical powers look at the daggum Knowing the wracklies. It's got a disease Oh my goodness. What the heck is going on kitty cat. You're really cool looking I I just we need to get you back to your own It's it's gone feral babe. I'm telling you it was like running around the neighborhood It was sitting under our bird feeder waiting for the doves to come in I mean, it looks like a lynx or something. Look at the stripes. I've never seen such a thing I'm allergic to you. Maybe I'm not because you're mystical looking. You're not like a normal house cat It looks like a cat that I used to have growing up. No way that thing looks like a jaguar Or a leopard. Look at it Are you not sneezing? No, I No, I hear it. I hear it. You sound all congested. I nasally. I've been nasally Welcome back to the channel everybody. Uh, this is probably one of the weirdest intros I've ever had I got out the camera to film this thing because I was like, whoa, that's that weird cat I saw the other night and I was like, it's kind of small. It doesn't have a bob tail But whoa, hey, that is my desk sir Indigo whatever your name is. That's a cool cat. I'm not a cat person I don't like cats, but that thing looks like it's ready to hunt. Have your cat If you're missing a cat named indigo your cat's been wandering around our property and it kind of wandered into our house That was the weirdest photo I think I've ever made. We have your cat. We have your cat. It wandered into our house I don't want to touch it when it's on the bed Yeah, grab it. I can't grab it. I'm allergic It's gonna bite me It looks fierce Hey, can you get off? Excuse me. Can you get off? I'm gonna move you. If it starts hissing at me, I'm gonna freak out We're gonna get you back to your owner. Don't worry. Get off the bed, please Off the bed. Okay, we're gonna go return the cat and then we're gonna continue our vlog for the day. It's uh This is very strange. I'm not used to holding a cat. This is quite the thing here Yeah, we don't need you around because we're we got chickens. We got doves. So see you later When I came home the other night from getting the truck I turned on uh by lights again And that thing was sitting there and it came by so fast and it hid I thought it was a bobcat because it just had the weird stripes So I was like it's kind of small and I think it had a long tail I don't know what kind of cat is that anyway. There it was sitting under the bird feeder Waiting for the actually there was already doves down there. So I guess I wanted to eat them, you know, have a little fun carpenter ants Millworms look at those things. You put that little millworm on a hook. You think that's not gonna get Shift shanked by a daggum bug-eyed crappie down there. Well, I know where to find some bait in the winter Why am I chopping wood? He may ask. Well, I do a lot of chopping of wood actually here because I have so many trees They grow they die They turn into firewood. That's just how things work and currently we have a lot of inventory And let me catch you guys up on what we're doing here with the chicken coop because I have been working on it and phase one Phase one has been basically building up the next section. We went up 24 28 inches around the sides just depending on where it is So we got it essentially another two feet So that puts it up to around six foot a little over six foot and some spots supposedly eight foot is like Fox not fox proof, but fox preventative We're going to go six foot and then we're going to do electrical wire around the top to shock those raccoons Foxes bobcats crazy cats whatever is coming in to get our chickens So if you come over here, I've already added I've added some uh, some other two foot of the fence to the wrackly roost here just to see How it's going to look it's going to fare. Well, the problem is this Pine stands out tremendously Like with our house our house is a like a dark cedar So I thought I might just stain it, you know and do it upright All these chickens would be looking good feeling good making the best uses of eggs And when I started staining it, I realized This is really hard to stain with the fence already on there So I need a sprayer and my buddy lance has a sprayer Buddy lance is a camper campers need firewood Therefore I'm chopping logs for him so he can have some firewood on his neck camping Dangling adventure and I can borrow his sprayer to finish putting this beautiful pecan color on the treated pine that I bought So phase one additional fortification And staining and then we're going to be doing electrical fence in phase two That's going to be a whole mess phase three New chicken. Well, no phase three actually is going to be we're going to get some new chickens Put them in here and then phase four and five and beyond Is really building a new uh hen house for them That one can do that one's fine for like four, but if we want to add Uh more that's all good. And you know what? Chickens are phenomenal little predators So take all these little worms and ants these carpenter ants that are all up in this wood That's what eat wooden houses Don't want them around run some chickens around They'll scarf every one of those suckers our next mission Is to go find some christmas trees It is almost trash day people are going to be putting those christmas trees out And when free christmas trees become available to the public The crappie dangler in me says I need them so I can go set up some piles and really bass too You know little cypress trees things like that that have good branch small branches to them That little bait fish can get in they make great brush piles Especially for crappie and since now that we've got the crispy collector We can take a bunch of trees out there and not have to worry about messing up the silver bullet and Um the ranch that we've fished a few times I've hunted at It has a dedicated crappie pond With like no cover in it So they asked if I would help them set up some brush piles out there and a hundred percent That's what we are going to do But we're going to mount up in the new silverado while we don't have a camper on it Because we're going to get a camper put on here very soon. That's blockage of roof space So we'll throw some trees in here and get them ready for the pond And also I want to show y'all something really cool that I got from my dad for Christmas He found me A vise an old vise and not just any vise. It's a wilton vise I needed a vise for the old dangle cave here I still I'm still looking for a uh an old school wood vise That I'm going to put over here on this table So this one's flush and I can clamp down a vise right here It goes straight to the table on the side rather than on top with the old wilton over here It's just a classic piece of america every working garage needs a good vise And now I've got a good one and a cool kind of story piece at the same time And Old pops got me a megalodon tooth for christmas as well big fatty. So two really cool gifts shout out to lfd Thank you very much Okay, another update on the truck full-blown 21 foot bass boat towing 180.8 miles 13.8 Average and my average speed during that was probably like 70 student 75 on the highway So it came down a little bit actually going both ways. It was like 14.8. So Honestly not much better than my tundra was but still better overall with boat and not boat towing. So It's good news Looks like we got a brood of spruce over here Oh, yes, I did end up finding me A christmas tree. So we got one There's more we're in a we're gonna good neighborhood. I love the fresh smell of pine I'm just your friendly neighborhood christmas tree collector Trying to make the aquatic environment a better place for all species I needed to make a quick stop here at lfds for a push pole a push pole that i've had since Like the first year I started guiding. So this thing is really old and up here I see a leg of what I am looking for And right there's a big old tasty stripper Come here come here Oh, don't follow me. Oh shoot.
