geez Roy, you have to get up quieter, now you've got me up early....
hope your very long day goes ok.
and another hot day here, 77 already going up to mid 90's. 5 hours of mowing yesterday sure satisfied my mowing urge...luckily my young helper comes today and he can push the trimming mower. I was asleep before 9pm last night, guess I slept soundly because I'm wide awake now. Some of us are serious morning folk...I think it's farmer dna from my father's side.
need to get things picked up here, house guest coming in on Friday, this time by train; turns out the Amtrak station is only a little over an hour West of me. 8 hours sitting in a train vs 9 hours on I95. No choice here, my old close friend is coming down to buy my Avalon and drive it back to PA. So I am very interested to hear how the train ride went. If I don't need a truck to haul stuff, I will definitely consider that in the future. Take my laptop and a book and it sure sounds better than dealing with that awful traffic. And since they finally put speed restrictors on the infamous Philly curve, I won't take any 55 mph zones at 105mph...that doesn't work well in a car either does it?....
Yesterday after mowing I took my tractor over to my drunken farmer neighbor's place and dumped three loads of sand and dirt on his driveway to fill in the foot deep holes in it. My attempt to clean up what is truly Tobacco Road. He appreciated it, though he hasn't driven in years since the local Sheriffs have arrested him for DUI enough times his license is just an apparition.
Surveyors are here today to survey my whole property. Older firm, and the owner was there, making sure this elaborate gps system was set up right. They set a few plastic markers and it was great to finally find the line. But today they are hacking their way through Amazonian jungle thicket in 95 degree weather. With machetes... Better them than me. Two younger guys who seemed quite content dealing with snakes, briars, whatever.
