What's everybody doing today?

Sonya, I am so sorry about Axel. I know how much it sucks. Sending you big hugs.

Grimm, moving sucks but I've heard Austin is nice.

Cooked for Mom and am cuddling with the kitty cats.

I'm thinking of going to Samsclub tomorrow and stopping at the Chinese place, but I know I need to cut back on takeout and restaurant food because prices have gone up again. Sales tax went up to 10.5% up there.

Today I spent doing tornado recovery work . I was up righting shortened electrical power poles that I used for holding up the grape vines in the vineyard . The winds had done what tornadoes do and wrecked havoc . I had to trim the vines way back to get the weight of the wires that run between the poles then reconstruct .

Made a quick run to the local French Bistro for some goodies, and the grocery store for a handful of things.

Axel is not doing well, not even eating the livers I cooked him. He's just laying there. I forced some antibiotics and pain pills down him, hope it will work. Not looking good I hate those damned ticks around here. If I had to pick THE worst thing about living here that would be it. Lyme causes lots of problems for humans and animals

Maybe some warm chicken or whatever meat you have broth to drink along with water ?
That might perk him up alittle ..if he will take it..

Today's hike up my road to my neighbors property..spooked the elk herd ..I saw their tracks but didn't know they were still here..I'm glad to see them..look at that big boy n that rack!
Zoom in on the herd..my phone picked up what looks like a aroarah..spell of every elk..how fun..thought I'd take a few view shots of the little valley below my place...so beautiful..cold but perdy!
I was down in this valley today at the community meeting. It went good..soil ammendment, ph soil testing, best practices used by a few of the cattle ranchers that grow hay for their herds and what they have found lacking in our local soils here..great info..

Axel didn't make it. Found him dead around lunchtime. We dug a big hole next to Heidi's grave and burried him. I hate losing dogs
Drinking lots of vodka and crying

Went to a 2 1/2 hour movie and other information on human trafficking. The lady who puts them on does a GREAT job and she doesn't ask for any money. She does it because she is really hot in the issue. I really admire her for what she does. She stated that Iowa is number three in the nation for human trafficking. GEEZZZZ!!!!

Then visited with some friends and now I'm in front of my computer, stuck with folks. LOL

Today I need to shovel a roof about 1500 sq ft. Then for fun I need to cut and split a tree I cut down about a half cord.
That's the day of a guy over 70.
What are you youngsters up to?

You’re in your 70s? I thought you were a young woopersnapper . Oops I mean , why that’s not very old . You’ve got another 30 years so be nice to yourself.

Finally talked to my friend. As I thought she’s been over loaded taking daughter to chemo and seeing after her grandchildren. Everyone got the flu that’s been making the rounds. Adults got sinus infections and 2 kids ended up with strep throat, a mess. She’s still holding it together though, a tough woman.

Pressed out a few tinctures today. Got all the equipment cleaned and washed. Ready to start pressing again tomorrow.

After a 24hr soak in gasoline I rinsed all the socket sets. Got them soaking again in clean fuel. Been reading that a soak in distilled vinegar will take off any rust. A few pieces have rusty spots. I have a couple gallons in the pantry I need to use. I’ll give the socket sets a good rinse tomorrow to get the fuel off then dump them in a bucket of vinegar for a day or so….

No plans but tv this evening.

Yes vinegar will dissolve rust with time.

The Princess left an old school cookie sheet on the counter after washing but it wasn't dry. Rust spot. Covered it with paper towel soaked in vinegar for a week almost gone. Eventually gone.
