What's everybody doing today?

[MoBookworm1957]

Good morning in the world of homesteading.
The air is crisp, morning is chilly.
Coffee is brewing.
It's a Lasagna type type day.
Hot rolls or bread too.
My home will smell delightful in a bit.Have a nice day.

Been swamped for the past several days. Hi friends!

A dear friend of mine sent me a couple quarts of hickory nuts. They are delicious! They don’t grow here, as far as I know. Hard to crack, though. I poked around YT a bit and found someone who used a clamp … might have to see if we’ve got one that’ll work.

Today is putting up some tomato soup, and doing some laundry, and maybe getting the rest of the summer veggies pulled. It’s supposed to hit the 30s for the lows this weekend.

This was from last week but someone gave me a newspaper today. The American Legion and VFW merged into one building. I'm a member of both. I'm in the picture, towards the middle, in front.

Not what I'm doing, but what I did...

This morning I took an extra bag of trash out to the can that was already by the street for pickup. I saw my neighbors garage and gates were open so I started walking over to say "hi." As I got to the edge of my yard, they pulled out in a car. So I'm kind of standing there on the sidewalk like Freddy Kruger as they rolled past. Not knowing what to do I looked at a plant like that was why I was there.

Then I went back inside, but the cat got out. She's not allowed in the outer yard, so I'm trying to corral the cat, stooping over to scoop her up, and she beats me every time. So I'm walking around the yard half bent over like Igor trying to catch the cat - and the neighbors returned for something.

So now I'm worried they think I'm completly crazed and off my rocker, so I walked over to the parked car to explain. Meanwhile he had run into the house, and she was texting on her cell. Not knowing what else to do I stood by the window, waiting like a zombie clown for her to roll down the window so I could explain that they really didn't need to get a restraining order...

She saw me and rolled the window down and he returned and I explained things. We had a laugh and they went on their way.

So now I'm going back to bed, I'll try life again tomorrow...

I wouldn't worry about it.

Got up, worked out, cleaned up, went to work, did some witness canvasing, found the guy I wanted to find, pissed off a traffic cop, bought some Halloween candy just in case, picked up tickets to an event on Saturday, picked up a record to give the lady as a future gift thanks to @elkhound, came home and started making dinner.

Tractor maintenance day… actually part 2. Started a couple days ago but had grease gun issues. This morning I disassembled the grease gun and cleaned 5yrs of crud off in the process. Took a whole can of carb cleaner but it’s now in good working order and loaded with a fresh tube of grease.

Got everything greased but the pto shaft on the bush hog. Had to watch several videos to get the shaft shield out of the way, lots of fun. Then discovered the shaft yokes have 45 degree zerk fittings that conveniently point for impossible access. One fitting was missing altogether and the other has bad threads.

So tomorrow’s chore will be fixing the pto shaft. The bushhog manufacturer is about 30min away so at least I can drive there for parts if necessary.

No plans but dinner and tv tonight.

Second day of vacation for GF, Ruby the Lab, and me. We explored Maquoketa Caves State Park. It's one of the best parks I've ever been to!

 

[Haertig]

That looks like a cool state park. I had to look up where it is. Good pics of you two. Definitely look like you're enjoying yourselves!
