I'm still holding off on tire chains and haven't even bought the new snow tires yet. Probably should get them ordered. And call for the years fuel delivery.

Are you enjoying that offset mower. I know I much prefer being offset to towing behind me.

David, animals don't know 'modesty'. One of my tom cats many years ago knocked up one of the queens on top of the D-I-Ls foot. lol
I still have one of the kittens, she is the oldest cat we've got.
That was when I decided that if any animal with a leg in each corner was going to live in this house it would be fixed.

Gosh, that sure looks as if you have a golf course going there! Is there a backstory to the swales and terraces?

What is the relatively coarse grass that your mower seemed to sail through?

Congratulations on the new mower and tractor!

All the best, Peter

David, nice job! That new tractor and flail looks to be the ticket!

A good day was had working on the building. Framing is officially complete, ready for siding, and then the roof. We decided that it wasn't worth the risk of any high winds messing with the roof. The siding will reinforce the lateral forces.

Now it's time for a few Ibuprofen and massage the knee. I definitely made some nerves angry.

55F and cloudy @ 19:30, calling for a low of 43F overnight. Around 0.5" of rain so far, another round due in 15 minutes.

The smaller Mammoth Gold pumpkin, 8 lbs 8 oz:

Cut into wedges andthen baked in the oven for around an hour. Then processed in the Cuisinart.

Now simmering on the stove to reduce the water content a little.

Managed to get a fairly good harvest of seeds out of it:

Those are now spread out on a cookie sheet on top of the 'fridge to dry.

Woman (who really wasn't really involved) didn't want to "mess with" doing more ... so we held off on doing the second larger one ...

Pulled out the bathroom scale for the larger one though, it looks to weigh around 20 lbs.

Woman did go ahead and make a couple of loaves of pumpkin bread using a can of Libby's which had a "Best By" date of November 2025.

She's warming up some spaghetti for dinner now, almost time to eat ...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.7C and it's presently 20.6C, mostly sunny with a very strong wind. There was 2.0mm in the gauge @0900.

What with this wind, which should calm down this evening, there's not much going on here. I do have my monthly Parish Council meeting at 1700.

The reminders of making Winter preps (wood 'in', chains mounted on the tractor, etc...) are nudging me to soon order my wood IOT cure over the Summer. I'll probably do that next week.

So, that's about it. Take care all.
