Augusta National --Got a ticket on my first try

I couldn't believe it. I registered on the Augusta website for a ticket in November and was notified in January I had been selected to receive a ticket. So many people I have talked to have said they have waited and waited to get a ticket, some up to seven years. I only asked for one ticket for the Wednesday practice round but two tickets for the tournament rounds. I only snagged the practice round.

View from a Bobcat

Several months ago I decided I needed more equipment storage space. I rented a Bobcat from the local rental company and for eight hours I moved dirt, old hay, and manure. It had been fifty years since some of that stuff had seen the light of day. I chose a Bobcat since the rafters were low. In order to reach the back part of the shed I need something that was low and compact. I had to keep an eye on the rafters as I maneuvered back and forth in the shed.

Barbed wire rig (invention)

I was looking for a way to stretch four strands of barbed wire at the same time but did not want to spend a lot of money.  I have taken a woven wire unroller and modified it to stretch four strands of barbed wire at once.  I could possibly add another roll to the device to stretch five strands at once.  Watch and see this simple modification I made to the unroller, which can still be used to install woven wire fencing.
