Not much has been going on with it. The dozer guy took his toys home and told me to call him when I got the brush piles burnt up. Been a pretty slow process gettin' that done. Early on, the wood was so green that even after burning up over 80 gallons of diesel, there was still more than half the piles left. Then, around the first of February, the wind started blowing. Apparently, even with rain, snow, ice and ground so wet that you could sink a foot into it, the grass on top was bone dry. Where I live, each day you want to burn you have to call the fire chief and get a burn permit (verbal O.K.). Yesterday, I got the first permit he had authorized since the 9th of February. Only took a wind speed of 0-3 mph to get the go-ahead. He had turned me down previously at 7 mph as he had already spent the morning fighting grass fires. Anyway, finally got them burned up, as much as they're going to burn, yesterday. Now I have too get the dozer guy back to make some more brush piles and bury the root balls from what has burnt. Only problem is, the ground is saturated with water. Every place he left a track rut or pushed out a tree last time has standing water in it and we haven't had any rain in 10 days. Hopefully, the wind will keep blowin' now and dry things out before it rains again.
And that's the name of that tune./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
