Labor Day Weekend at Thor was a blast. We went up to Dave and Ellie's 80 acres in Thor. It's about an hour Northeast of Brainerd. We had a fun filled time let me tell you. As you can see from the photo's we shot trap, started pounding a well and got into the whiskey (after shooting of course). We also rode the four wheelers around the property getting the full tour, smoked a turkey and laid some patio blocks . They have done a lot of work in the one short year they've owned the property. They have the lovely shack all done. They have lots of new trails through the woods and they have planted a nice food plot for the deer. Not to mention the kennel, turn around, firewood lean-to, crapper shack and much more. Now soon they'll have water. 
The well pounding is quite the deal. Here you can see it's a manual thing. Pictured above is Dave's brother Dick pounding his pea pick'n heart out. Then pictured is nephew Ryan, brother Dick, Davey Jr. and Makita. ( too many Dave's). Then there's the photo of Ellie soaping down the sand point and Dave supervising (he's very good at that).
We ran into problems though when we went from the pounder to a maul. We bent the pipe and now they have to pull it out and start over this weekend.
Here's what happens when you get into the whiskey. Aren't Davey and I an entertaining pair.
