I really hate being an a-hole, because I’m usually a very giving person. I’ve got a lady wanting to use the entrance and driveway into my OK house in her photography business for photo shoots. The gate stays locked when I’m not there, and I’ve never had any trouble. I’m not comfortable giving someone I don’t know free range to bring other people I don’t know onto my property.
She’s being pretty persistent and even started calling my son now like he’s going to say yes after I declined.
If I lived there, I really wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Nope. You are not being at all unreasonable. I would just keep telling her "No," a bit more emphatically each time. But then, you are probably more diplomatic than I am!

I try to be a good neighbor (not that this lady is really a “neighbor”), but I got burned last year letting an outfitter who owns property close to mine access my place to duck hunt on the river when all his places were froze over. I won’t go into the details, but he nor his employees/clients will ever be welcome on my place again. :censored:

No reason to invite disaster ... by the outfitter or a photographer!

Went to the farms today. It was a bit warm for September.

Here, but occasionally There.
We did get our certification done this morning, and we also got out to the Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum this afternoon. It's not a bad museum, and we saw some neat stuff there. They even have an "auditorium" (on a small scale) in which they are playing a video about Audie Murphy's life.

If anyone is interested in seeing some of my photos, there are two folder (inside and outside exhibits) at this link:

Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum

Most of the firearms displayed were military ones. There is one that "might" be a commemorative lever action on display, but it is back behind some other stuff, so one can't see the whole rifle.



And, how is this for an old electric motor?



That motor drives this system.



Their displeay lighting wasn't the greatest, so I ended up getting some glaring spots.



Can you imagine the team in WWI that had to lug this monster around?



All in all, a pretty good day.
