Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Mid afternoon and I've finishing outside painting for today and possibly for the rest of the year. :dance1:

The air is completely still, a lovely day for everyone who doesn't own a wind turbine.

Still getting together here. Slept in late, going to do some yard work, don't want to push it, 90F again? Where was this last month?

Well, just finished stretching the cross fence, hung the gate, and the horses don't like loosing 2 acres of dirt to walk around in. They scolded me the whole time, Bull didn't care. He is still on 4 acres with grass and thinks the horses are dumb. Then we moved the goats over to the garden and let them clean it out for a few days... thinking it will last them a week, maybe not?

TXDon, thanks, but no thanks, the last thing I need is cute. So what do you raise? Angus, Herefords, Charolaise???

Farmer, you know wage is a nice idea, but if I can let them pay for themselves and put meat in the freezer, I would be happy. And walking out on the deck and seeing a herd of these guys in the field would be a dream come true for both of us.

Do you guys remember my helping the wife pick pears the other day? Well, after it got to hot to work outside, I was put on Pear peeling duty. And thanks TXDon, we treated them like apples. We now have 6 qts. of pear pie filling, 7 qts. of pear,caramel,pecan pie filling, 6 jars of caramel pear jam, and 8 jars of "Carrot Cake" jam. And we still have 10 pounds of pears on the table.

So Don, if you want to PM me you mailing address, Lori said she would share for your help in what to do with them.

We always just canned our pears. My pear trees have died now.

I've done most of my labor for the day. Got the lawn mowed, volleyball net is up, installed another LED flood light (using the tractor forks and pallet as a work platform), finished the garage cleanup, got tables set up, AC running in the garage, ready to start grilling around 4, guest should start coming about 4:30 and we eat at 5. Not sure how many will show up, usually around 40 or so, but I have around 60 burgers, 28 brats, chicken, and a bunch of hot dogs to grill.

I started my labor day cookout 17 yrs ago, the year after I finished building the house. I had over 100 people show the first year.

Bonus this year is the Ohio State game at 8:00. Have the TV set up in the garage also.

Didn't get much done today, but at these temps, I didn't try!

 

[buckeyefarmer]

cookout is over, had 34 people show this year, one of our smaller crowds. Weather was real nice. kids and a few adults enjoyed volleyball, kickball, basketball, and cornhole. Ended up cooking 38 burgers, half the package of costco chicken, 2 1/2 packs of hotdogs, and 14 brats.

Really like the new LED flood lights I put up.

Is this a Labor day celebration or is a "Buckeye" thing? ( Ohio State ?)
