Good morning!!!!

66°F and no rain, but forecast.

Somewhat wait and see whether rain affects what I do outside.

Disappointing trip to TSC yesterday. Whenever I logon I can never access the local store so I have to be content with some other, usually a Ca store to browse. This used to be a locally owned place that became TSC and moved during the pandemic. Spent a fair amount of money at the old place over the years but the new place is a bit less conveniently located so has been easier to get whatever elsewhere, but this time I wanted to check out some 3pt lift pins, which sounded like they’d be what I wanted from my browsing. Not knowing the store layout, I sought assistance. I sensed trouble when he didn’t immediately understand what I wanted, but did take me to 3 different locations to no avail. I then cruised the store aisle by aisle, never seeing anything 3 pt related. In fact, I’m about 99% I didn’t really see anything tractor related.
Guess I’ll just order sight unseen online.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good breakfast at the new (for us) place in PA, then went and checked out the country store north of there the couple a week ago told us about. Nice place, Amish or Mennonite place, baked goods, deli, plants, greenhouse, and got a free ice cream cone when we left. We bought some ham, shoofly pie, candy.
Now need to play barn Tetris again to get orange JR unloaded and in there.

Fire started in stove in shop. Was 62F when I walked in, currently 75F.

Hopper feeder refilled, also one additional suet feeder.

Steel unloaded and eight 15” pieces of steel cut which ended up being exactly half of what I picked up.

Steel cleaned off with paint thinner, need to load it in vinegar bath.

Reading manual for Unisaw.

Woman went out and did a little grocery shopping, dropped me off a Boston Crème on her way back in. Now going to make some homemade vegetable soup which I requested.

Seems a little chilly out there, hope it warms up some.

GM Update:

Dropped five trees, one did a bit of a turn on the way down and got hung up. Unlike the last time, it was much more accessible and I hooked a line to the base and then hooked it to the tractor. Got it down in about 20 minutes, and that included moving the car, moving the chainsaw milkcrate, warming up the tractor, and yanking it clear.

fourteen millable logs on the ground, 13 of them 12’+, one about 9’.

These trees would make some nice lumber. I would love to have a mill.

I just watched Concrete with the Hauses on YouTube saw his first log on the sawmill he got from Mike Morgan.

Afternoon all!
52 and cloudy. Rain appears to be going around us for some reason.
Got the railings all repaired/replaced on the main deck this week. Stairs replaced and now working on getting the lattice work rehung.
Worked in the wood shop a bit today getting some more plugs installed for the machinery.
Made another light house yesterday and tried my hand at painting. Tomorrow will be a rest day as the body is still aching.
Back at it hopefully Monday. Need to lime the lawn and put some seed down where the grubs killed it. Trying some grub killer that is supposed to last up to 3 years! 50 bucks a bag though! Only does 7000 sq. feet.
Time for feet up!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Got Orange JR (OJ?) put away. Had to move husqvarna to shed for now and move ZT to middle of barn. Used bh to try to dig redbud growing at edge of her hydrangeas, but root goes back in under and will have to get cut. So I left a big hole in her flower bed and a tree laying sideways that is too skinned up to transplant like I wanted.
Have another larger redbud that came up along the house, not sure I can get it with the hoe.
