On a happy note, gas was $3.229 here yesterday. I bought $2.999 gas twice last week in Virginia--I think. Space-time-price warp.

You can blame Texas for that price drop. Opec is trying to drive our oil boom down. We like the $100 a barrel price it's how Texas wildcat wells become profitable. Hope we can ride out this slump in oil prices. Expect lower prices next week. I think they are coming down to $78 a barrel.

Gasoline here is $2.95

long day, those darn workmen sure keep me going...but
shazaam, in one day I got my barn shed roof put on. Three guys worked well
together, contractor checked on them and realized first thing this morning a piece of trim was missing and he got that ordered to come in tomorrow. I think he wanted to take his completion picture and was annoyed he couldn't because the trim wasn't on yet. But I did...

have some nice miniature sunflowers to plant tomorrow and otherwise I spent over an hour today with the Kubota FEL digging up old piles of pine straw and dirt dumped in the wrong places, and now hauled to the back. Also leveled some ruts near the gate heading to the barn, which tomorrow I will throw some rye seed down on. By next Spring the centipede grass should start to choke out the rye. Floor guys finished the new foyer hallway floor, except for the trim on that, but nice to be able to walk on it. Not perfectly level, which is a disappointment. still has some tiny high spots but with a rug runner and a couple of tables and paintings no one will be looking down at it anyway. I hope. Going to do my maid routine tonight on the hallway, rehang all the pictures, and then take a pic. Two rooms down, every one to go. Actually the laundry room is fine. So three it is. The next is the worst, by far. Ripping out the kitchen floor and the hallway out to the garage, including the half bath, all of which have ruined wood floors. Sigh.
Well at least it's nice and dry underneath now, or will be in two days, as shown on the indoor/crawlspace thermometer/hygrometer they gave me as I guess my toaster for a seriously expensive job. And it is a good monitor if conditions change dramatically. Like if a pipe broke down there, the sensor should note a humidity change.

David, I'm drooling over your diesel tank. How many gallons a year do you burn in your two tractors?With diesel one should really use it up at least every two years, more if you have condensation issues.Do you have a diesel car or truck and can you use this fuel in vehicles as the farmer we all know you to be? ;)

And good move going 12v ... ;)

70F and partly cloudy @ 20:45 ...

Can barely type due to muscle spasms and cramps in my hands ...

Just had some of the woman's beef stew for dinner ... she done good - it was quite tasty.

Did some weed whipping ... and now I'm apparently in the doghouse because I didn't hang around for the clean up ... :rolleyes:

Got the two SSQA bracket assemblies welded up and the paint burned off the old brackets from the bucket with the O/A torch ... am now cleaning them off in preparation to weld the torque tube on and join them together ...

Matheson was closed today apparently (Columbus Day ?) ... so I dunno if I'll have enough shielding gas to do it or not ... tank is at zero on the gauge.

Probably try to get a little clean up done in the shop before I knock off for the day ...

you simply need to teach your trimmer to clean up its own mess, not the operator's fault.
see if that flies...

you sound like you overdid it too, not much chance of any slackers around here. I have started to follow Today's Seat Time a little and am always in awe as to what folk accomplish.

actually I could use a couple of days being a slacker. But I'd have to leave here and go to the beach or something. Next year for that, now my adventure is at home.
