Two tons of pellets showed up yesterday. Got them unloaded and stacked into the garage. Speaking of pellets we fired up the stove for the first time this season. Nice and warm in here right now! We only plan on running it weekends and really cold spells this year. Oil is way cheaper to use right now.

I could never understand the allure of pellet stove, I always assumed it was that they were less expensive to operate than the central heat source. If it’s more expensive, why bother with it?

39 outside right now, heading to lower 60's today.

Finally managed to get burn pile under control yesterday. That had to be the biggest collection of materials since we moved here. Took 1/4 tank of diesel moving stuff around. Since we have not had an decent rain in a long while I decided to start early while the ground was "wet". Worked out well.


I then turned my attention to the outbuildings and did some trim and touch up work for them. Still need to get batteries for the man-lift but I need to get that on the to-do schedule and see how I feel in a few weeks, I think the barn may now have to wait until spring for painting. Speaking of the barn, put 300 bales up in the loft for winter feed. Wife was not too happy with me moving about like that. I told her maybe she needs to hire out some help and see when they show. LOL.


Today I need to get the ladder out and change an LED on the West Side of the barn. The light is about 18 feet up, which is 18 feet too many. LOL. One day there may be a door planned for that side, or a nice huge window. The LED's just don't seem to make it to their 15 year lifetime marketing. I don't do ladders. Too many friends have had really bad experiences with them.

Hope all have a good Sunday, or/and worship, or/and get with family, or/and call on a friend, always hug your loved ones. Be safe.

Ron I do not know the manufacturer recommended time. If we paved parking lot striping right behind us. Some roads like what we did last year temporarily mark with stick on reflectors then paint or use thermo plas installed with heat. On city streets paint almost as soon as we are done. Great question I’ll research

45 cloudy high in 50s trees really turning now. Yard aeration and over seeding complete now for the rain which is supposed to start tomorrow and be a weekly thing like rain showers all week

Good Morning

They worked all day yesterday putting blacktop down. Sure will be nice if they open it up tomorrow morning. My neighbors cannot take their Mercedes on the gravel road. Some of the pot holes are over foot deep.

Ron, are they doing the whole road up to the next paved part?
does this mean the end of dirt for you?

but you know now they will fly through there, at least ten over

Riptides, that picture of hay in the barn very cool.
I can smell the hay...

 

[Buppies]

If I smell hay I start sneezing

My dirt road is a mess because of the diverted traffic off paved road. Camera shows paving is done.
