What's everybody doing today?

[RJ2019]

Chiropractor appointment this morning then more homework. Might go hiking after kiddo pickup today, it's sunny again!!

 

[Amish Heart]

Since our road is still impassable we had to cancel our dentist and our eye doctor appointment and another doctor appointment for me. Thats alright. I don’t like going to doctors anyway. They're just drug pushers anyway now days.
We rescheduled for April.

Wish I could reschedule my dentist today, my least favorite thing to do, but husband is intent on going. Dentists are always finding something wrong.

What are crockpot liners?

Have a chiropractor appointment in a little bit then a couple quick errands, then to the old house one last time to finish sweeping up and dig up some of my plants to bring home.

Plastic liners that I put in crockpot before filling with food. At the end all I do is pull out the liner and very little if any clean up to do. I use them and also roaster liners. Big time savers!

I love them. Same with the roaster liners!

I just ordered a new wood chipper this morning. Capacity is 6" dia and has a 20hp electric start motor. We have such a short burning season here. The chipper will help with clean up long after we have to stop burning. Plus we can make our own pine chips for the chicken coops.

We will be waiting for a GOOD report!!

I’ve got good news and bad news.

Good news is I get to keep both toes. They are ALIVE!!!!! There was a possibility that I would lose them. I was keeping that to myself because I didn’t want negative vibes out there.

Bad news is I return to work in three weeks.

So glad your toes are ok, but sorry you have to eventually go back to work. You can't retire already??? Ha. You must of really whacked your foot!

Doctor took off the dressing and they looked like something out of a Mary Shelley novel.

88 more paychecks.

Ow, your poor foot. I once got kicked in the calf pretty hard by a teen wrestler trying out judo for the first time and trying a foot sweep. Which would not be a kick to my calf, but it was. Spent a while on crutches, from below my knee to my ankle was very very ugly. The urgent care didn't think I was telling the truth when I told them what happened. Kept asking about domestic violence. Ha.
88 more paychecks...bi weekly? You'll get there.

Got around to a long over due project. I have a cheap press board ‘over the toilet’ bathroom cabinet. I bought it about 8yrs ago, put it together myself, price about $70. It was looking pretty dingy so I priced new ones online. Now they want $160 for the same cheap pos! I had some white primer left over from a recent project and some white enamel spray paint so I figured ‘why not?’. Despite the fact I’m the worlds worst painter. No joke, a friend once described me as ‘the most dangerous man alive with a can of spray paint’!

Anyway, it was a nice day outside, temps in the low 80’s, I sanded the cabinet with a palm sander first. While it was upside down I put a coat of primer on it. I just went out and checked. It’s mostly dry so I flipped it over, gonna go out in a bit and prime the parts I missed. Tomorrow I’ll spray paint it. My bathroom doesn’t have great lighting anyway, how bad can it be? $20 in paint and sandpaper beats $160.

Got more blackberry plants. I'm trying to get a sweeter berry than what my Apaches produce (adding Triple Crown and Ebony King).

Got potting mix (will need this as some of the Ebony King vines got damaged and I want to use this to pot up the vines and see if I can nurse them back).

Got a Joseph's Coat climbing rose. Which I've been looking for for years.

Watched Hidden Heights Farm on YouTube talk about their solar generator.

Ordered gourmet popcorn for my mama's birthday.

Told my aunt and uncle who got me started on blackberries years ago with the two original Apaches about the Ebony King vines. I feel like everything my uncle taught me about blackberries will transfer over. Wondering if grow tubes would help initially (I have some left from my muscadines).

 

[Mountain trapper]

Just finished changing oil in the well pump generator, did the tractor earlier too.
It was a beautiful warm day here today. View from the pump house looking west.

 

[Neb]

Bunch of different things today.

Started a test of the battey backup running the two chest freezers.

Merged new seeds into my stock of seeds in the freezer.

Watered all trees and clone cuttings.

Checked out the new set of 0-6 inch outside micrometers. They are not Sterret quality but they will serve my needs. The tightest measurements I see in my future is 0.003" clearance between a crank shaft and the bearings. I will keep them. The case they came in is junk. I will keep it until it falls apart.

More elbow grease on stripping the paint from Jim Beam.

I am considering going with that for now.

Q: what do you Think?

I will cut of both ends for it to fit. I can experiment with the cut- offs to evaluate optional finishes or more stripping.

Life is an adventure. May as well enjoy learning as I go.

Behave!

I did the same with an ancient medicine cabinet in our little bathroom off the kitchen. It was a mess and looked hard to take down, so I painted it. 100 x better than what it was. I'm sure yours is, too.

Would love to see photos later this summer when your climbing rose is blooming (or photos of anything you're growing).
Sounds like you had a great teacher for the blackberries.

Went to chiropractor, ran a few errands, then went to old house to do a little cleaning and dig up some of my plants. Need to figure out where they will go here. Got the herbs in the ground. More tomorrow.
The remainder of our main flooring is supposed to be here 3 days ago but now tomorrow . Then the porcelain for the entries and hearth in about 2 weeks. Think the contractors are nearing the end of the utility room so I might get to do laundry someday. It was a beautiful ( eer I mean fantastic) day

[montanabill]

I was out dumping some kitchen scraps in my plastic barrel composter and since we are having a brief spell of warm weather I scraped the snow away from some of the plants in my little sunchoke patch and dug up a couple.
They were excellent and tasty..

 

[dademoss]

Lunch today with some of my old workgroup from P&G. After that, I suspect a food coma will occur

 

[Smalltimefarmer]

Finally getting a hair cut. I had to go 6 months without because I couldn't leave mom when she was so ill. I haven't had hairnthisnlong since I was a teen. I need a short cut to get ready for Spring and planting gardens.

Then, I'm cleaning the coop. It has been too cold and the poop was frozen to the poop hoards. It's gonna be a mess. I'll put on a disposable had mat suit.

 

[sonya123]

husband just checked on the sheep, still no lambs, wow, they are way overdue.
supposed to rain today ,so they will stay in the barn, rest can go out, it's not going to rain a lot

got the house cleaned yesterday, it was very dirty. So today , just animal care cooking, and maybe a load of laundry. Laundry hose is no longer frozen

 

[Amish Heart]

Probably do a bit of greenhouse work after lunch and after animal chores. Little granddaughter has a half day of school today, and then late afternoon we have to drive back to the school for a ten minute conference. They make the students run the conference on computer while a teacher stands there, so I'm not sure why we couldn't do this at home. But that's how it's done now...they have to list what they're working on and their goals (sounds like the Musk email, really).

 

[snappy1]

Good news is I get to keep both toes.

I'm glad that your toes will be alright!

Will walk first.
Pay car insurance and bills.
Spray weeds.
Cook a few ears of corn.
Bible study this evening.

Starting them young?!

 

[Amish Heart]

Maybe so, ha ha.
My husband was a contractor to the military all of his working life till retirement. It was normal and mandatory each week to present to the military what his teams were working on and how they were meeting the contract requirements. I think it's reasonable

 

[Pearl]

Just a regular work day. Trimming Buddy's hooves today, didn't happen yesterday! I did the pool up and running! No major issues!! Still have some firewood to stack that's been split. A little cooler today, nice day for that!
