Good morning !
Hope you all had nice Christmas. Sorry for those who had to spent this time in bed
We had beautiful Christmas evening. Had a little argument with wife - is Die hard a Christmas movie or not
. Kids was with me, but wife wanted to watch something relaxing. At the end we won remote control, but it turned out that there is something wrong with telly and at the end we played Monopoly
Next morning went to "rancho", had nice dinner with wife's mother and brother. With BIL took a long walk in woods.
That autumn storm have left broken trees in 3 spots. We almost have cleared 2 spots already. "almost" because we took only pine and spruce, there was few birches, we left them for later. While birch have roots in the ground they can lay there for a while. Pine becomes "blue" = worthless very fast
But just now we realized that third spot is biggest, full with birch. It seems that we have done just half of total volume. Till now we were just looking from the edge of that third forest and thought that it will be another easy-peasy job. No.
Good thing is, that that last spot is dry. recently here we have had a lot of rains and snow. Ground is soaking wet. It's so bad that during this walk I almost lost my boots in field. But the forest we have to clear is somehow on higher ground and we have nice road there. So we still have a chance to be productive those coming days
We have left just few birches at first 2 spots. I just hope we can drive there to pick them up.
This one looks nasty
This week here is somehow sooo badly screwed (actually I would like to use some F word
)
Half of companies are closed, some are working fully, some - only maintenance teams.
My secretary is at vacation and so are few technicians. Still we have one last machine tomorrow to offload. I will visit few more customers today / tomorrow
Wife is "bureaucrat" - she is one of top managers of national emergency medicine system. That is state owned / ruled organization, they can't voluntary just "make it a holiday". And they have like 30 new
viu-viu wagons coming in - lot of work for registration etc. She have to be for acceptance, payments and so
Volkswagen have deadline to hand those vans over latest at 31/12/2023. It seems that those bastards will take all of their time. No cutting corners
Kids are at home for holidays
I am just fighting snow. We have like 1/2 inch - inch every night. Not to leave not to clean. i am cleaning my backyard and driveway. Still have layer of half melted half frozen snow / ice. Hate that, but not much I can do. I will not salt my road
Have a nice Wednesday !
