My cousin came over to help me pull the bush hog blades and sharpen them. Instead of locking nuts they were secured with castle nuts and cotter pins, a royal pain to remove. So instead of trying to remove them I just lifted the bush hog with the fe loader and sharpened the blades in place.

Everything is wet from the rains so clearing brush can wait. Already got a shower this morning, don’t need another one from soggy brush. I watered the calf this morning also, I’ll feed him about dark. Since its a grey foggy day think I’ll stay inside and watch a few football games.

Went to the Christmassy type "fair" in our little town for an hr and it was pretty good. A number of amish ladies set up tables with crafts and food in an empty building, and there was some good stuff! Bought a bunch of fry pies from the best fry pie maker around (Amy), and just had one. Some soy candles, a gorgeous handmade cutting board, a crocheted dragon for little granddaughter that her friend was selling. Bumped into Levi and his dad doing some shopping there and caught up with his dad. The thrift store had all their Christmassy stuff out, but I did find a new looking rain coat ($3) for an extra. A black wool coat in good enough shape ($5), and a pair of shoes ($2). The amish discount grocery had all the Christmassy candies out in bulk...bought some homemade chocolate cherries, and peanut clusters. Jonathan apples were clearing out for $15 a bushel box. So I got another. Good to visit with some that I have seen in a while. Husband feeling poorly, so I'll stick close by and get things done here.
 
Woke up sweating. It's hotter inside than outside and it's also humid. I've been drinking a lot of water but sweating so much I don't have to run tot he bathroom as much.

Decided to do at least one productive thing after I had my Cheerios this morning so I put the new strikeplate on the back door. The box for the new plate fell and one of the screws disappeared so I had to find a replacement. I thought the strikeplate with the new lockset might have a screw but then I discovered the new lockset did not come with a strikeplate. Last one I'd bought came with one, so that is odd. I used a magnet stick to search for the lost one to no avail. Then I poked around near my brother's bedroom door since I knew he replaced a strikeplate and I managed to find one of the screws from the old one and used it. So, new strikeplate is on and works great.

Princess just came over panting. I aimed the fan at her so she wanted to come give me some love but she was too overheated and just shared the fan with me for a little bit.

I'm trying to work up the nerve to go do something else productive but my brain is melting. I know it's not as hot as it was in summer, but it should not be this warm right now.
