    Our place is on a state section. $5000 a year for the whole section and all the buildings. It's a 99 year lease.

    In Wyoming in every township sections 16 and 36 are state owned and the lease benefits various state departments. Adjoining landowners get priority. The section we're on goes to the University of Wyoming.

    Speaking of houses, the youngest daughter closes on her first house today. Retired folks movin into town.

    Couple acres, nice house, barns. In the heart of the Ozarks no less. She's worked hard to get here.

    She's just gettin started, but I bet she feels like she's "made it" today.

    My luck is, I buy something and the proper tool apparently was never used in any form.

    My flatbed looked like it had Christmas decorations under the back of it when I bought it. Blue, yellow, & red butt splices all over. Took a little bit but got 90% of that junk weeded out….

    May have to try them. I usually use this setup with heat shrink over it….

    The Good ones have some kind of goop in the shrink part that seals real well.

    These are the best ones I could find. $2.13 each but why cheap out on something like this

    In high moisture locations these work really well but they take up more space and don't leave a clean look PXL_20250407_175904178.jpg
