Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

well my day sure improved. My good friend with the truck and trailer now says his son wants to trade his dump trailer in for a 7x16 new covered trailer and pulling it with his nice Chevy Duramax 3/4 ton, could they come down and move my stuff for me? Oh my....what a genuinely nice thing of them to do. And my friend will baby my car while his son drives the truck and trailer.
I can wait a couple more days for them so they can come down on a Sat, the 10th and go home on Sunday and not lose time from their family business.
I'll still pay them but we sure get by with a little help from our friends...
Whew.... :dance1::drink:

What a great option

Good morning , 41 going to 65 -sunny and abnormally cold . No rain forecast until next week. Seems like August rain and November cold

Went after the oak stump again-looks like a big tap root, so maybe a grind, burn, bury, don;t have time to keep at it. Got another Stump I had missed out though.
Took down the dying Norway spruce after changing my bar from 18" to 20", pulled great. Cleanup through the chipper and more trail cover in piles for me to spread.
Back is killing me but only muscle pain..

Seems like it's getting time to direct the water around the solar heater since it's getting so cold out.

Kyle-happy b'day to the wife !
Chuck-had a mystery switch in my old house-ends up was a builder spare in case you order the ceiling lights - probably a box up there somewhere for the new owners to find.
BEF - we have a cell booster too-doesn't help much and did not want to invest in any other ones as not cheap to do it right-mine was free from Tmobile-
Drew - good to hear you found a ride up north!

Used to use a scythe when I was a kid to get around the barn without taking out the blackberry bushes. They worked well and our neighbor used to sharpen it. Never saw how he did it. Not a large area, but pretty quick to do it,as long as not tangled up in the blackberries.

This little guy smashed into our window waking us up-took her most of the day to recover, but finally took off-


Stay Safe and be Well.

Have to admit to a twinge of envy at times, all these great wild life visits and pics. I’m pretty limited to mongoose and feral pigs. Luckily we do get a small variety of birds though.

Mongoose? I haven’t seen you post a picture of one.

The black cherry trees are dropping leaves like crazy. I decided to mow the back field after I did, I couldn’t quit so I burnt the afternoon mowing, oh and knocking off my left taillight for the second time this year. Tree limbs keep jumping in front of me. I think I will move them inboard on the ROPS, I just need hole for the wires and I have multiple drills.

Not particularly friendly, lot of folks consider them somewhat nasty, especially around chickens. Haven’t seen any close to house in ages, 1 near tractorshed a couple years ago. Sometimes see when I mow and most anytime driving down the road. They tend to hurry outa sight, so a challenge for a pic.

My Tempest weather station is under-reporting the rainfall. Today my in ground rain gauge said 1.5" and the weather station said it rained for 302 minutes and .22". I have an email to the company asking for help in adjusting the sensitivity setting for the rain. The jury is still out if this is a :thumbsup: or :thumbdown:.

57F and clear @ 21:00, headed down to a low of 42F overnight. Currently no significant chance of rain until next Sunday.

Just finished a big bowl of chili The Woman cooked up earlier today ... :thumbsup:

Neighbor was out cutting his pasture when I went to take the trash up to the road, going for the season's last cutting of hay apparently.

Screened some more compost. Even managed to sneak a bucket load from over by the yellow jacket nest without getting stung.

Burned the grass and weeds off from around 12 planting holes up along the driveway and the shop. These will mostly be for oak trees, although two (of three) by shop may get rhododendrons if I still have some left. Filled in 5 holes with screened compost that hadn't already been filled, still have the 3 next to shop to fill. Took 3 buckets worth.

Watered some of the hosta in the northeast planting bed, emptied Water Buffalo so it will need refilled.

Hauled down another 5 bucket loads of mulch to the northeast planting bed, got about 75% of it spread. Noticed all these footprints all over the the mulch I had already spread ...

Brought hummingbird feeder in when I came inside tonight, haven't seen any in better than a week.

Mowing definitely on the agenda for tomorrow, before I lose my mower ...

Hope everyone had a great day.
