46 going to a much warmer 66 today in what must be a very sunny day coming.
All good, my big helper comes today and I'm going to work him to death.
First he has about 30 of those big Tposts to bang in; I lifted that fence pounder...better him than me for sure.
Then we put the big auger on the back of the Kubota and I start measuring out the nut orchard field.
Goofed in my design....hmmm. Only about 85 feet of width. No way I can put three trees wide and still allow 40 feet between. So redesigned to do two rows, particularly since the plot narrows down at one end. In the wide area, I'll plant a third row, and put the figs in there. Figs, almonds, mostly pecans, and English walnuts. Should bring every squirrel here from Eastern NC. 550 feet long.
Took me several hours of fiddling around to get the fence line straight between two points almost 600 feet apart. Reminded me of front and rear range lights on a ship channel. First I put a marker up in the middle, made sure that looked good, then put down preliminary red pins. Then moved most of them over two inches. Then another inch. Then it looked good. A transit would sure have been nice...probably could have rented one.
Each time I moved the pins I lost land...but i sure don't want to move that fence again. I was hoping my neighbor would come out with his rifle and scope but he was at work. I have to do the same positioning for the tree rows. I want them straight.
I guess I'm going to wind up with almost another acre of lawn/orchard grass to mow. At least my neighbor said he would help mow this area, that's nice, it's his backyard and he seems to love riding his JD zero turn. Almost 9 acres of lawn now. I'm done...

29 out this AM. Road trip today down to Charlottesville.
Hunting for a truck for the daughter. Nothing else planned. Have a great day all, be safe.
Drew, the wife and I banged hundreds of t-posts back a few years ago. We did a 4 acre pasture and that covered a lot of ground. We worked in 24 - 48 foot sections, running a line between the posts to keep them straight. Not worrying about the "set" end points. Just "working" towards them. Turned out pretty good too. Google is your friend after the work, the shot from above says she did a good job laying it out.

27 going to 57 but mostly cloudy.
Cleaned out the woodstove ash tray a little while ago and took it to my pit...so many stars and super quiet. I don't know how Coco can see the Frisbee in the dark and catch it so well.

Good morning.
5 and a high for today of 23 and some light snow in the forecast. I'm off to the city to get some groceries, cat litter and dog food.
Gas is 2cents/Litre cheaper up there and I have a coupon knocking off another 4 cents. So that is where I will fuel up today.

Riptides, thanks, I went at 25 foot intervals, and it will take at least two years to get an overhead unless I get a drone, which might be fun anyway. I have a friend whose son takes pics professionally with a drone, I could invite him down.
sun is coming up, time to get moving. Sure would be nice to see the sun at 6 and not 7.

Good morning! Sunny day, SW winds starting off at 47˚ heading to 75˚. Today is mostly tractor day filling pot holes and maybe for diversion trail clearing.
No freezing temps forecasted for the next 15 days. Is this the end of winter for us Buppies?

Drinking first cup of coffee. 50° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 72° with sunny skies. Nice day yesterday. Got my shorts out of the closet. Going to continue with patio time today.
Anyone have information on electronic ignition for gas logs without a pilot.
Don, you sure are lining up the projects.
Looking, is gas still $1 a liter?
Buckeye, are all the rollovers concrete haulers?
Good Morning All.
