One must wear proper ppe ear protection when at work… if only for a moment… I had the sander going and tried out ear defenders on Murphy, he wasn’t too keen. I think he would rather chew them.

Louisiana visit in February. This is an ovreflow canal in Pearl river in Slidell Louisiana. I grew up here in 1980-84.. whilst I was a child my brother and I were chased by wild boar. I always wondered if it was a dream, then just moments after I took this I heard rustling and a large juvenile boar came skuttling past me and ran off into the woods. This confirmed my memory nearly 40 years ago…..🐗🐗🐗
