Thanks hugo454! I still say hi to Booger when I walk past his grave. Which reminds me. I gotta get the Christmas lights out and put the battery powered strands on the cedar tree at the head of his grave. Thanks for the reminder and WELCOME to TBN!
Does 454 mean you have a Chevy V8 in your driveway?

I finished hanging the rabbit cage last month. The ugly, dirty white tin is a urine shield, so the barn tin won't rust from the urine.
I also found a young Californian breeding buck. Well, he is trying to bred anyway. I named him Bucky.
He is a little over 6 months old. I got a Californian doe also, but have no photo of her yet. My Grand daughter named her Jumpy.
Also put a deposit on two sisters and an unrelated buck. I pick them up around the first of February when they will be 6 weeks old. They are TAMUK rabbits.
TAMUK stands for Texas A&M University Kingsville. TAMUKs were bred for meat and withstanding the heat.
I also finished building a nest box.
Bucky has had a go with Jumpy, but he didn't thrump and fall off to the side. So he has some practicing to do. He is a tad small for his age.

Two weekends ago, I started leveling the hill for the shed. This is the view from my back deck....
The CAT grader blade works AWESOME.
I do more leveling with it than the tractor's bucket.
It will be 40x60 feet on concrete and 40x80 feet under roof.
Just doing this on the weekends. Weekdays I am sawing a whole house framing for a customer. We are using his logs. He delivers the logs and is paying 1/4 to 1/3 the price of Lowes or Home Depot, depending on what is cut.
It is way better than I ever thought. With the right angle of the bucket, clay rolls off the blade like a dozer's blade. I only catch and cut the roots with the center of the blade reinforced by the bucket's teeth.

Looks great Brandi, and good to hear from you. I was wondering how your wood/saw business is going. With the price of lumber so high, I hope you're making a little money to pay for your investments.

GOD had a plan for me and it seems to center around the sawmill. My friend, Brady, asks me why I did something or bought something. I tell him, "I don't know............GOD hasn't told me yet"!
Actually, I retired about 6 years early. At that time, I would have had 50 years in aviation and received the FAA's Charles Taylor master mechanic award. Charles was the Wright brothers' mechanic.

Glad to hear it! Yes, God has a plan for all of us. He loves it when we thank him for our blessings.
We shagged it to Lagrange to dodge last Monday's storms. Watched on radar as rotating tornado went over our area, but fortunately, no damage. The red truck that got blown around was near your daughter's place?....if she still lives there.
