That log was down over a bank and hard to get to. I can’t remember if I could lift it. It’s still down along my creek, with another large tree.

Morning tractor folks. Looks like it will be a nice day but colder. Mid 40s. Good air quality.

Some darned critter chewed off the wires on the outside Christmas lights. Pretty easy troubleshooting. May be harder fix. Four wires all green. Fortunately my wife had a spare string.

In case you were thinking of hitting the water next year this might be a nice family day boat. Hint hint hint Santa. :giggle:

Drew, I read that wages in China were going up (6$/hr) The days of cheap Chinese goods may be coming to an end. Get 'em while you can.

Have a great day

Chris

Good morning! 52˚F cloudy skies heading to the mid 50s.

Yesterdays cool tractor driving started out at 57˚ and ended with 56˚ with a good north wind blowing. Pleasant enough with a jacket. One customer had on short sleeve shirt and short pants and was immediately identified as a yankee. All the Texans were really bundled up for the breakfast with Santa. About 40 people sat outside with Santa, little campfires were provided. One employee was taking pics with a camera like Rons I'll see if she post them on the farms web page in a few days. The mudfield's rye grass sprouted and is green now, looks good. Last week they replanted the Christmas trees that died in the drought (about 400) with new saplings and I was glad to see them being hand watered yesterday. The trailer riders always seem so happy and the kids run to the tractor loading station for hundreds of yards. You would think the trailer is the most popular Disney ride. It does make for a pleasant job.

pics are the new rye grass with the breakfast being set up and the apple cannons where you can shoot real cars in a ditch.

This is my old wood stove. It has a front door with glass, and a side door on the right. I could put some long pieces in from the side. It does have an ash pan. The fire bricks are not in it right now. It has a Catalyst. There must have been a grate that went over the opening to the ash pan, I forget it’s been so long. I should have the book for it somewhere.

I heated my last house with it, but a lot of work burning wood 24/7.

Chris, very nice boat. I took a full tour of their Greenville NC plant about five years ago, with boater friends looking for a boat.
at least five years ago, all old school construction, hand laid, not vacuum or high tech.
it's really pretty amazing how expensive these boats are...

34 outside this AM, Be lucky if we get to 50 today. Yesterday with the warm weather we were out in the back restringing hot wire on the pasture. Only made three trips around the perimeter to get the job done. Wire and mesh had lasted close to seven or eight years. Only replaced a few t-posts. Called in quits, perfect timing, when the owls came out. What I thought was going to be an easy job turned into a lot of walking, finger exercise and a five hour effort.

Today, need to go to the grocery store and get my Christmas lights done.

I find this time of year when you get motivated at lunch time, one has only a few hours of workable light outside. And I don't think I want to start an earlier than lunch on jobs. LOL.

Hope all have a great Sunday. Be safe.
