Good morning!!!!

stuck
boozed up
shooting after midnight.
hmmmm, sounds like a Darwin prize about to be rewarded.

Rick, do you have any source of water near those burn piles? Looks pretty green there but nothing worse than a fireman
watching a fire go someplace you don't want it to...been there done that, super happy I had a charged garden hose stretched

doc visits and food shopping done. Bought some tofu for first time, going to cut it up on top of a salad and then try grilling it with curry to give it some flavor.
Texture/consistency is a little off putting...
Also got fresh ground turkey and after much label reading found some that didn't have "up to 10 percent added blah blah blah, which is usually salt and ?"
Worse is even with all the additives they get to label it all natural. Right.... Well cow poop is all natural too...

so nice out might go for a walk.
Rain coming in for next couple of days so need to get some exercise now.

they say Spam is one of the favorite "meats" in Hawaii, apparently WWII soldiers introduced it there and all the locals loved it.
I always thought it was disaster food you kept in the cupboard, stuff has long shelf life for sure
Infrequently Spam on the barbecue sounds pretty good, probably no worse than bacon which I adore and have sworn off of.
I do wonder what parts of the pig are used to make it. Snouts anyone?
I wonder if imitation bacon is worth buying...low salt fake bacon isn't likely to taste like the real stuff
As anyone in this fine state knows...Everything Goes Better With Bacon

Lou, I don't think you are going to be hungry any time soon... which if you are out in the fields is actually a good thing

Rick, those trees will start flaming and throwing embers with the strong North wind I'm sending you. Stand by.

Good morning all, 65 going up to 80 and cloudy - another sprinkle last night, not enough to soak the soil

Started stump removal for the Dying Norway spruce , down about 2 feet and it's still holding fast but moves a bit, should take one more try to get it. Maybe later this week after rains loosen it up.

Drilled the Oak Stump (sideways to meet up with top drilled) so it will burn inside a bit more, down a few inches already, so one more fire should do it.
Overseeded shady area, we will see how the fescue works there, lots of bare spots.

RNG - be safe and hope all goes ok!

Spam, Spam (always picture viking hats).

Stay safe and be well.

55°F and RAIN this morning, going up to 66° today.

Got home from work Friday evening to find a strange rooster walking around. Wife sent me a text about the time I was trying to corner it, telling me she'd already notified the neighbors down the road, and that they were coming to get it. Fair enough. I wasn't looking forward to seeing how good he was with his spurs.

Saturday, I got the trees I'd dropped last weekend picked up and moved to the burn pile. That work was broken up with intermittent honey-do popups, so it took longer than I'd planned. That postponed my plans to attack the weeds and grass growing wild along the hill by the road. So, that had to wait until Sunday, after I got back from a trip to Tractor Supply in Carlyle for chicken feed and a new poultry waterer.



And then, miracles never cease, we actually got rain last night for the first time in a month. The rains arrived shortly after dark and fell light and steady through the night and into early morning. Man, did we ever need that.

Congrats on the tractor move, Roy. You are definitely going to love a cab with AC. Hope you can find something that suits your needs.

Great pictures, fellas.

Never liked Spam. Never had scrapple, but it sounds equally disgusting.

Burning shut down until these winds subside. Right now 16 mph .. gusting to 26 mph.

As a kid we used to make hog head sausage at grandpa's. Little bit of ear, little bit of snout, a little cheek, . . . . equally disgusting.

We always joked that SPAM was the meat from the Nauga. You know- the ones slaughtered to make all that 70s furniture and auto interiors from Naugahyde !
