40 going to 62. Coco has bowel games going, too...took her for a walk at her insistence at 1am and 5am and 7am.

Eric - holey moley...I count things, too, by the way.

Kyle, nice job on the bike.

Hawk, your wife is doing a kind thing making those phots available to her family.

Ron, real good clarity on that zoomed photo...nice ratio of sunflowers in that seed mix.

Finished sawing my fallen aspen that fell over the creek...I managed to only drop one round into the creek...and then used it as a stepping stone to finish sawing and to carry all of the other rounds across the creek to where the tractor was parked. Brought up a load and still have about 1 or 2 loads left.

Found a poacher sitting in one of my deer stands while hiking Coco in the woods yesterday. Had a nice friendly chat and don't think he will be back. He's a local and walked in and said: "didn't know who owned it...thought maybe it was so and so's stand." I never posted my property in the 35 years we've been here, but I went back with a step stool and put up 2 signs on that corner where the deer trail crosses the property line.

45° in the valley. At my in-laws. My first visit since last spring. 2019 will be one for me to forget.

Worked half a day yesterday. My son went to work and couldn’t get in. No one showed up that could open the place.
I need a cup of coffee. Head is stopped up.

FIL doing well after his heart valve surgery. He’s not sure what kind he has, so can’t moo or oink to him yet.

I81 was very busy yesterday, but moving. Get in left lane and go with the flow. If you moved right you won’t get back into left to pass. I wasn’t driving.

Saw later there was a bad head on collision on Rt 340 that we were on earlier. Someone going wrong direction where it’s a divided road.

We stopped at an old time restaurant for supper on old Rt11. Been there since the 50s. Still has a lunch counter. We sat in an undersized booth. I ordered their rib special. Never had ribs with a cinnamon glaze as the sauce. It was different, not sure I want it again.

Waiting for people to stir. In-laws are talking about selling in the spring and moving to town. They own a townhouse they used to rent but isn’t rented right now. They say they can’t keep up with the work in the country, but they have kept expanding their yard instead of leaving it woods.

Supposed to visit some of wife’s cousins today. They have a farm, raise chickens. Her mom from a family of 12. Most still live near their old farm that a brother still runs.

Her dad was an only child and is only one left on his line of the Lincoln’s. Abraham’s grandfathers farm is just up the road. Not well marked. His line is from a brother to Abraham’s dad. There’s books about them, my wife is listed in one of the Lincoln books.

Kinda surprise he didn't ask permission to hunt there after the talk.

36 right now and that's about where it's going to stay today.
Since I didn't make it to the barbershop yesterday, I guess I'll give it a try today. I also need to finish assembling a coat rack...started yesterday, but one piece was giving me fits...I stopped in frustration. We'll see if the wifey wants to do some shopping today too

Coffee is brewing. In-laws love their coffee.

I scanned most of my parents photos and a lot of their slides. My brother scanned some in a low resolution that I want to rescan, and he can’t find the album. He said he returned it but we can’t find it.

Their old black and white pictures from the 40s - 60s are great. The color instamatic photos afterwards are mostly garbage. A lot of their slides are bad. Just bad cheap cameras.
