Lake time for the guys

 Allen and I headed for Greyson Lake this morning. We drove all the way there in the rain, but it stopped when we arrived at the launch. We did get drizzled on, but then it cleared out and was sunny.
 We both caught a few fish, but nothing big enough to bring home for dinner. We still had fun.
 We went a little farther down the lake and found this. It is hard to see, but the top half is an overhang over the lake. It goes back about 40-50 feet. Very cool looking.
We also found this cave along the banks. Allen got up to the mouth, but didn't go inside. We only had flip-flops on and there was a lot of rocks and brush to walk through to get to the back.

Burn pile gone

 I lit up the "new" burn pile this morning. This is all the limbs and debris from the maple branch that came down in the pasture a while back.
 I picked a spot in the pasture that the horses weren't eating from and stacked all the stuff there because I didn't feel like hauling everything over to the old burn pile.
 It burned down nicely. This is after about an hour or so, lots of coals to make sure it will keep going.
 By afternoon, there were only the big chunks left. I moved them all into a pile near the center so they could keep going.
Leaning on the fencepost is the remaining part of the branch with the trunk visible behind it. The last branch will get cut off when I finish with the big piece, leaving just an enormous stump.
