Clothing swap out is done!!!! Created one and a half big Chewy boxes (the kind that hold 40 lb bags of food) for donation. The empty half is for dad to fill then I can arrange for pickup.
What's everybody doing today?

I'm beat..
Today I will take the pups for a short walk.
...I have to make a run to the dump..
Get some lunch ready for work
...water my lime tree and Aloe
Package up another box to send to Grindstone ministry in TN..this is box #3! Whew hew!
Move a 12 foot log :/ ..uggh..sigh..
I wanted get everything done yesterday but it took half a day to mostly clean n organize the garage and boneyard..still not done with that but I worked till dark.
I'm feeling it today..
Good news is the mill hired a new guy to learn to run my machine. Turns out his dad was a neighbor down my road untill he retired, married a gal n moved. His dad was a great neighbor, so I'm happy to teach his son my job. Maybe the mill will let me go on clean up for winter 2 weeks out of the month like on day shift. He can stack and I'll just help him out when a bad wreck happens. Otherwise give me a shovel, broom and airhoze.
Then if it's snowing hard, I stay home too 😀 no stress, no driving through blizzards at 5am on rotten Mt roads
I can dream..lol..

That's actually a little less than 3 hours work, or one tank of gas.

Yesterday I was using my truck to help pack the gravel pad. Got too close to the side and slid off the pad. Now I have to fix the mess I made.
Got the water going in the orchard today. This might be the last time that I'll need to water.

Judging by your speed at splitting wood, you should be able to disassemble the truck, move the parts back up on the pad, and reassemble it in an hour or so and be on your way. Then you could just kick the gravel back into place in a minute or two.

Took a lunch break and ordered a new pair of insulated buffalo hide work gloves. I usually get 2 years out of these gloves. The price went up $10 to $95 a pair. They're still worth it for heavy duty American made quality gloves. Check out Sullivan Glove Co.
I over did it this week, badly. But the new fence is finished and I can turn the calf back out on good grass tomorrow. Then go back to bed for a couple days.
Smashed my left thumb with a hammer today. 🤬 I use that thumb often when playing guitar. Guess I’ll be limited for a week or so. Don't think I'll lose the nail though.
No plans tonight but rest...

Got the 4×6" beams up for the new coop roof, and cut out the rafters. It's 6pm and I'm going to call it a day. I know, there's a couple hours of daylight left and plenty of work to do. Once I go in the house I doubt that I'll come back out.

I miss that smell. 💕
Parents came out to visit this afternoon. Wife and I spent a couple hours on the porch after they left. Opened the camper to let it air out a little. Hoping to go camping if I get feeling better
Stayed home today and got a little bit of organizing done but not enough. My sewing stuff has taken on a life of its own and requires taming. It’s looking a little better but I have to figure out where I left off in the spring and get crackalackin.
Back to work tomorrow and will take the new studded tires we got mounted on the rims as it won’t be long before they will be needed.

Camping will make you feel better!!😉
