How do you know it is the space station and not a satellite?

First, they tell you exactly when and where to view the ISS. Second, it was too light to even see a satellite yet, but I enjoy watching them also.

Well, an extra long PT session today.... they must want me to catch up...seemed to do OK during the session, but.....

The knee is definitely aggravated and swollen again. Almost Deja-Vu of the last 2 surgeries.... do a few weeks of PT, seem to be improving good, then things go down hill...

I see the ortho surgeon on Thursday... hopefully he will have some insight...

52F and partly cloudy @ 21:15, headed down to an overnight low of 48F.

Worked on those downed aspens today:

Made some decent progress on four of them but there's still some further down the trail that need gotten:

Got the logs stacked off the grass on some high ground, will have to wait until it dries up some to take them down the trail to their permanent home:

Got some more compost/soil screening done as well:

Knocked off around 18:00 and came down to the house and finished off my Big Mac value meal and then made the run down to Menards and picked that last order up.

After I got back I threw the trash in the back of the car to take it up to the can at the road on the way back in and headed down to the pet store to pick up more treats for The Squeak, who is being very, very picky.

Noticed the pavement was wet on the way back in, so that nixed lighting up the burn pile tonight ... but tomorrow should be good. Likely do the first mowing as well.

Hope everyone had a great day ... (y)

Sorry about the knee, I certainly wouldn’t do any more PT until I saw the doctor.

Something sure seems off, hope the surgeon can shed some light on it and you start recovering soon.

If you're interested in watching "stuff" going across the sky there is a phone app called 'Find Starlink' which will show when a string of starlink satellites will be overhead at your place. It may not be the space station but it is interesting.

Good morning all. We are dogging the snow nicely, only light flurries, soon dealt with by the sun.

Wng, hard to believe as avid a tree fella as you has not before enjoyed the neck creaking thrill of bringing down high up branches, to say nothing of the elation of finally freeing a saw stuck up high. Have fun !

Ken, talking of trees, I thought of you and your ash carving when I read an article on a very talented local chainsaw sculptor called Simon O'Rouke . His most famous piece stands 50 feet up in the air, carved from a storm damaged Douglas Fir that was previously the highest tree in Wales. So, when you do get your strength back and are looking for ideas for what to carve next ... :)

LS, you are right in your assumption that sheep keep down most of the grass that is not cut for hay. I just get to mow the weeds. Fields are 63 acres.

PJ, a hitch with a hitch and dry running kayaks ?#* What a weekend, pleased to see you eventually got to have a paddle without going up a creek.

Good morning all.
Roy, you are up too early

another nice weather day here, sunny and near 70. Doesn't get much nicer than that.

Ted, hope your knee feels better today

Number of you folks talk about Menards, which aren't around here at all.
But yesterday's Amazon shipment of my taller electric fence posts came in a box from Menards.
I promptly installed several of them, giving better protection to my dying frozen plants...sigh.

Until I get a greenhouse again, no more raising plants indoors for me. All I do is grow houseplants that
mostly die when I put them outside, burning up like vampires in the sun. I did this once before in NC, and that's when
I got a greenhouse. Twice burned, three times learned...
