Good morning!!!!

Whenever I consider, I somehow move to thinking a 4in1 might serve me better.

I thought the same thing. When I got this place, it had 12' high poison oak plants with two inch trunks, all over. No way I could deal with them by hand. I thought I could grab them with the 4in1 and pull them out, but just ended up breaking them off where they were grabbed. I use it sometimes to pick up small trees and stumps, but from what I've seen on YouTube, I'd have been much better off with a root grapel to loosen up the plant roots first and then lift it out of the ground. The ultimate solution was my neighbor with a bulldozer, but that's a whole 'nuther story...

Which reminds me, this CoVid-19 thing has a lot in common with poison oak, except CoVid-19 is deadly. You can't see, feel, hear, smell, or sense either one, both take hours or days before you have any symptoms, you can spread both of 'em around in the time you're asymptomatic, and neither one has a good treatment regimen. So the same things you do around poison oak, or any of its cousins, is what you should be doing every time you go outside your home and interact with other people.:2cents:

Yea, I just don’t have trees or really any rooted stock to pull.

35 right now...high about 40 today. Probably some rain this afternoon...

Good morning, the temp is 31°F and the high will be 48. Wind N 3 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

This going to town for the mail every day will get old real quick.

Although the tractor is back together more or less, I have no work for it right now.


Have a safe and healthy day all

Morning all! 35 going to 44 today. Looks like partly cloudy skies with rain tomorrow. I'm still working but my wife was furloughed without pay. We are keeping as little human contact as possible while still getting the job done.
Dam shame that the virus made it into a veterans home in Holyoke, Ma. They are actively looking for the carrier that brought it into the building.

Hope everyone is hunkered down and safe.

41 going to 61 and very windy later today.

Rick, thanks for keeping us informed on herbicides...I'd remembered you were licensed and appreciate your knowledge. I've never used anything stronger than gly here.

Took Coco to the battlefield forest park to get some exercise and had it all to ourselves. When coming home at about 11am, pulled into our drive and saw the chupacabra coyote sitting on the edge of our woods scratching, about 100 yards away. I ran in to get a rifle and when I came back it took off. I think it had mange. Also found a bunch of fresh skunk cone-shaped digs in the yard 1 step from where I park the truck.

We picked up another grocery online order from a different store yesterday...not nearly as good overall experience on the account setup or online shopping, but their pickup procedures were better..."open your door or trunk or hatch, and get back into your vehicle and stay. We'll load and even put things into your cold bags." We still struck out on getting any paper products, butter, or rice.

Grass finally dried out enough by 6pm to do about an hour of mowing....it's that time of year that some of the grasses grow like wildfire and other grasses and weeds just sit there with their little flowers looking beautiful.

Good morning,

Despite paddling for a couple of hours in the wetland yesterday, I wasn't able to get a definitive answer as to where all the water goes. The flow was visible, however instead of flowing down to a single point, it spreads and then disappears over 20', so I think it must be passing through the base of the rail track instead of in the drain below.



I found the faded baler twine that I tied to the railroad fence some 17 years ago, which lined up with the outfall on the other side, but just like then, I couldn't locate any pipe entrance on my land, I think it must be buried deep under silt on the railroad property. My neighbour's brother once went at it with drain rods from the other side of the track. I wasn't there to see it, but by all accounts he came home looking like a swamp creature from a horror film.

I just joined the wicked club.

BEF, do take care - a search for wicked club shows people getting a lot closer than CV social distancing guidelines :confused2:

Rick, may I ask what the stump killing active ingrediant is in the "Remedy" that you mix with diesel ?

41 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's.
May do more string trimming today. Need to relocate more tiger lilies too.

Eric....you are a brave man. No way I would go in that muck.

Have a great day all. Be safe.

Looks like a nice sunny day here, high in the 60's.
Realtors and photographer come at 11am to do inside pictures which means
I have to get piles of stuff off the tops of things to make it look less cluttered.
Which includes getting a big plastic bin to put things in, and then put them back after the pics are done.


Phil, even if they find the guy, he could have been an unknown carrier. It's why I think everyone who comes in should wear a mask at the minimum.
And hand them hand sanitizer and watch them use it. And no kisses... it's the time for air kisses.
