Good morning!!!!

68F and partly cloudy @ 12:00, heading up to a high of 71F. Winds out of the Northwest @ 10 to 20 mph will make it seem very cool.

Refilled hopper, two sunflower tube, and two suet feeders yesterday, including the one outside the kitchen window.

Also watered the irises and other potted plants.

The Woman got called in today (... again ... she went in yesterday as well ... :()

Agenda for today:

Continue moving dirt down to barn for pad, approach, and creek crossing and compact it.

The idea is to create a raised path over to the creek crossing that will serve to channel any run off from the front of the barn into the pipes at the creek crossing. It being raised with respect to the surrounding area should make it "wet-drained" and hopefully keep it from turning into a total muddy mess. The area does not get much - if any - sun. May need to remove some trees eventually, to help with keeping it dry ... although that's a trade off - with the trees sucking the moisture out of the ground.

There's another pallet of retaining wall block in the barn that I need to move around to the back so I can work/maneuver around inside.

May also do some more work on rock wall removal, now that I have some place to pile them with the enlarged pad.

USPS wildflower seeds should be here on Friday.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)

Good luck for the guys!

This week my arch-rival - Bernice, who is right ahead of me with 27 wins compared to my 26 wins was my partner on the last game of the night. Since we won and her total for the night was the same number of wins I had (3) so she is still ahead of me by one hand with only 3 game nights (15 hands) remaining this quarter. I jumped ahead of Art last week when he got credited with no wins for not showing up (he has moved to an assisted living complex) so I'm in 5th place waiting for the results to be posted for this week.

Morning all,
This may not be the best place to post this but it should get good exposure here;
a lot of people myself include have forks on FEL but for those times you would like a set of dedicated forks
here is a set for your contemplation. (not mine, I have no knowledge about them other then seeing the ad)
4wd Articulating Overland Forklift runs drives. 10,000lb - farm &...
If I didn't have a set of 3 point forks as well as FEL forks I would be going and looking at them. :p

60F and partly cloudy @ 21:00, heading down to 53F for the overnight low. Another good sleeping weather night.

Was cool enough today that I wore long pants and a long-sleeved shirt overtop my tee shirt and I wasn't at all too warm.

Spent pretty much the entire day moving soil down to the pole barn and compacting it.

Did stop to chat for a bit with several neighbors who were out for a stroll.

There were some dark clouds in the afternoon but other than a couple of raindrops they didn't produce anything here.

Started the mowing on the west side and back of the house before knocking off, still a little bit left to do on that, that I will finish up tomorrow.

2375+ hours on the Kubota, will be due for service in another 25 hours. In the meantime, I need to grease the loader tomorrow.
