The weed eater was no match for the road weeds, I had to break out the machete and settle for 2' weeds instead of 6' weeds.
Break time.
Good morning!!!!

Back to work today after 6 days camping.. had the whole family (all 3 kids, spouses, grandkids). It was a nice relaxing long weekend. We went out last Wednesday to secure a spot at National Park Service campground that usually has some first come first serve spots. We had some rain two days, but were nice and cozy inside trailer (kids were in tents at night). No one got hurt and I think all had a great time.
Missed reading this forum though, it always brightens my mornings.

82.6F and partly sunny @ 12:00 ... heading up to a high of 89F with the chance of a thunderstorm ... looks like warm weather is back until at least Sunday.
Need to drop loader/box blade, install MMM, and get the front lawns cut.
Finished 4-way wedge for log splitter yesterday, have to weld on the reconfigured brackets for the log lift cylinder and then should be good to go.

Kyle. No it isn't. But my wife got sick first and I called mom. She took both the boys for the day. I ended up getting sick as they were leaving. She ended up keeping them over night. No big deal for grandma. We didn't want them around it.

I think Northern Tools wants over 1500 bucks for theirs.
new career; log lifts for $999?
didn't have a good morning. Got the truck into the body shop ok, then the Jag nav got me utterly lost, said it knew where we were going, out in the middle of nowhere, and then when we got in the area, actually apologized and said it could no longer provide guidance. And at the same time my new brakes failed, clunkety clunk when stopping plus a constant light thunking noise. Drove it straight back to the repair place and they will fix it. And here I am a single guy with two vehicles renting a car from Enterprise. At least it had XM...
Well, forget about all that, and I'm off to mow the roadsides. Getting pretty hot out there again. Lots of sun screen;at least it shouldn't be too dusty yet after our 6-7 inches of rain. Helper is here so we will both be mowing.
hope you are feeling better soon Farmer, the whole family too.

I spent the long weekend hanging out with friends up in Shenandoah range behind Charlottesville. It was very nice...
Just wanted to drop in and say Howdy!
God Bless & Be well all,

aahhh, what could go wrong on a lovely day out mowing roadsides?
Nothing. But there taking up almost my entire roadside on the opposite end of the property was a hundred foot tulip poplar down over the road. The road had been cleared but what a mess. I hooked up my trailer to the Gravely and pulled a trailer load of top branches home; the trunk way down there is close to two feet. A call was put out to my firemen friends. I love using a chainsaw but this kind of clearing is hard work and it was 90 ++ out. So tomorrow I'll go back for another load. Tree was green and living and covered in a thick mesh of poison ivy and poison oak vines. Lovely...sure did wash twice when I got in. Poison oak really tears me up, leaves scars actually.
I think I have had enough challenges today. Looking for a rug to hide under.
Howdy David!

Slept in today, then helped my wife out a bit, lunch with friends, then a trip to Lowes to get supplies for the next couple of projects. 90F outside, and really humid. Staying inside for awhile!
