Good morning!!!!

[MossflowerWoods]

Hello everyone!

It was 8 degrees here this morning, bu the woodstove has been roaring since Friday evening so the heat pump has only been on once Saturday morning, and once this morning.

Had awesome Christmas with my new wife, her 2 sons, and 2 of my girls. Dropped my girls off with their Mother at Noon Christmas (after being with me for 8 straight days!!!!) and took the rest of the family to new Star Wars. On the 26th the wife and I flew to Dominican Republic (Bavaro beach) for a honey moon. I found the perfect tractor job there. in the pre-dawn and early dawn there is a guy with a big tractor grooming the beach between the palms and the ocean (I've got pix I need to load onto my computer and post here). We flew home the 31st and her oldest son had a little party going at our house which we crashed and enjoyed. Then the 1st we got my girls again for a quiet weekend visitation. Yesterday it was back to work for both of us. What a Holiday Season!!!

I've been busy running chainsaws and the Kioti on the weekends without the girls processing firewood, and setting up drying racks for the hardwoods the loggers left for me.

I cannot get my android TBN app to run?

So, that's my update. Sorry I've been gone so long, but all is well here.

I hope and pray all here are well, warm, and healthy.

God Bless & Be well,
David

I'm sure I did, was on I-77 from SC to I-64 in WV, now just don't ask me which bridge it was. Going up it was dark and raining and a little scary. Coming home I had a 2200 pounds of moving weight in a bumper pull trailer... a little scary. Did a lot of "I Think I Can's" up the hills, and a whole lot of "Whoa Nellie's" going down.

Its a rather long bridge not too far after you climbed that long hill right after entering VA from NC. That hill is no fun going down. I was going down one day, went around a bend and everyone was locking up their brakes for stopped traffic. Look in my rearview and there's a semi trying to stop and trying not to wipe everyone out. He took it off the left shoulder and up an embankment, just about came to a complete stop, and the truck and trailer went over on it's right side. Scary sight to see in your rear view. He probably saved some lives with what he did, maybe even mine. He was alright.

WELCOME BACK!!
Glad to read it's going good.

But about that tractor job - the commute from Virginia would be a PAIN!

David, welcome back. Glad you enjoyed the holidays. Tbn app no longer works. Use tapatalk on android.
Was 10° this morning, high in 20's. Single digits tonight then warming up some. Wife said the upstairs geo wasnt keeping temp up. I didn't tell her the breaker for auxheat is off, was warm enough for me.
Got pellet stove cleaned out tonight and now running.

Don, How is your Dad doing? Did you get your internet today?

Kev, busy day. This morning the internet was connected by going up 20 more feet on a new antenna but I'm only getting 1/2 of the speed I am paying for. I may need to go up another 20 ft and connect to a different tower. The tower I'm aimed at now is 9.8 miles away. The antenna and their signal is only rated to a 9 mile limit. I can see the 9.8 mile tower from my yard the other tower 2.8 miles away is over the trees and through the woods.

Dad is doing good, he got his cath out yesterday and is taking it easy for 3 more weeks - which means I working PT for 3 weeks. Another 2 days and all the cows will need feeding again. The baby calf is iffy if it will survive.

Mossflower - sounds like life is good!


Here is a pick of me setting a base post for the extendable antenna to attach to. The grapple kept the post steady and secure and it was easy dropping it in the hole.

This afternoon I got 4 cup holders!
