Wait a sec, when I was a young boy scout my brother taught me a saying. It went, "White man make big fire, stand way back. Indian build little fire, get up close."

You're shattering everything I know about Indians!

*loves to shatter stereotypes*

Anyhow, I DID marry a white man.

This is from our burn today. It shows Dovey, Eagle, Bear, my godmother Nancy who lives on the property with us, and Dan in front of the fire.



This was when the pile was still small.

you call THAT a fire?


LOL we make s'mores on those.

that's mostly brush....throw some WOOD on that thang!

We call it a "burn pile" actually. We burn what debris we have, and it tends to stay small due to something called "fire regulations."

We like it when the logging companies ged to do their burn piles though! They are allowed to have bigger ones and boy oh boy are they fun to watch!

I know t. Just funnin'.

We DO love our tree fires though. Half a dozen pines cut up in 6-8 ft logs, and you have a nice bonfire. That's all pine is good for anyway. LOL

what kinda classical/dreadnought guitar you got there mate?
looks like the best of both worlds! steel strings but a classical headstock??
nice.

I asked Dan and off he went waffling about a rosewood solid base and the name 'Martin'? He seemed quite excited to discuss it, I dunno, bloody guitarists .

I wondered if that was a Martin. Man, he paid a pretty penny for it, didn't he?

Now that you mention it, it sure DOES look like a (C.F.)Martin!

(C.F.) Martins are the "Excaliburs" of acoustic guitars for Country/Western and Bluegrass pickers.
Very high-priced instruments. Many are handed down in wills and estates...They're THAT good. I shoulda recognized it from the abilone-type binding. The headstock still amazes me though. Hollow - like a nylon-stringed classical headstock. Interesting.

I noticed the binding and the familiar looking headstock, but didn't want to guess because there are a lot of clones out there.

Martins.....oooooooooooh sweet.

That's classic!

BANGS!!!!

LOL Yes, Matt. Bangs.
