WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY ?

[EE_Bota]

Had to put one of our 14 year old dogs down. So to ease the pain I got the better half a pup.

A lot of people I know hesitated to get a new pup to ease the pain...but I think you are wise to do so. I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for you gained a new pal.

Saturday, wife & I went to the Rutledge, MO flea market; I picked up a couple 260+ gallon totes & one 55 gallon barrel for rain water storage, along with a few other goodies. Wife got her a Revere Ware pan lid she needed, another RW pan & assorted other items including an old school arm-desk chair for a front porch plant stand (she's a retired teacher).



Sunday morning at 1:30, I got up for a bathroom break, nearly fell, went back to bed & as soon as I laid down, the whole room was spinning. So I woke the wife up to take me to the ER (1-1/2 miles away). A she was bringing the pickup into the front yard the young couple next door were just getting home & came to help get me out to the pickup, neighbor lady is a nurse. Spent the rest of the night in ER, "Meneir's Syndrome", an inner ear problem. Better today, not as steady as I'd like, but at least I was able to get out & do a few things. Is supposed to normally go away in a few days to a few weeks! ~~ grnspot

I added descriptions to some of the forty pics in a photo album so I could start a new thread.
Here is the thread:

It is about a machine built (not by me) to do absolutely nothing.

Moved one of my rain barrels out from behind the tool shed to make room for the 275 gallon tote. It was a tight fit to get the 790 worked around so I could let the tote down into position, but it's there now.





I used a black coiled pipe fitting (barb to 1-1/4" threaded) siliconed inside the tote pipe, from there I can reduce down to 3/4" pipe for the rest of the plumbing to the greenhouse pump. ~~ grnspot

Today I used my home made excavator to turn the soil over after we closed our garden for the fall. There were 2 thick weeds that needed the excavator to rip them out of the ground.

The weeds were no match for the excavator.

Yesterday I put up new "No Trespassing" signs. Made sure one was exactly opposite, an another very clearly in the view of a tree stand on the property line facing my place. I managed to cover about 1/2 the property line with the first 25. I have another roll of 25 for the rest, I should make it.

I need to do some more trail clearing, the gum tree saplings have overtaken almost every formerly logged spot where sunshine get in.

Today, after Church, my boss is coming over and we are going to scout out some deer hunting spots. He wants to hunt on the property with me.

Be well all.

Yesterday after Church I went stomping in the serious puckybrush putting up "No Tresspassing" signs on the rest of the property, most of it at least. My Northern boundary is a branch of a stream feeding my big pond, and then the stream exiting the pond. Along the stream it gets close to unpassable unless you are a deer or other critter, but there are some pretty little spots if you can get to them. I need to get some signs on posts I can put up in the marshy areas and around the pond were I can't nail a sign to a tree.

Be well all.

I also re-arranged some stuff in the Barn so when the weather turns and I need to put the tractor back in it will all fit better.

Be well all.

It will never fit better. I've been trying to get everything in the barn for decades and it's simply a law of nature that man's grasp exceeds his interior arrangemnt capabilities. The answer is a bigger barn which is why it is TBN legend to build twice the barn you need.
I spend lots of time every fall trying to fit square pegs into round holes and I just can't get a handle on it. I feel like a fat chick trying to get the zipper up. Moss--if you have any secrets, you are a good man---fill us in.

Spread 26 tons of crusher for the new Carolina barn.

SixDogs,

No secrets here... I just leave most stuff outside. Right now I've got ~165 bales of hay in what I'm calling a barn, really a big metal shed with a dirt floor, plus my "clay pigeon cannon" (pic 2), a carry-all I plan to make into a ballast, and some minor other stuff. The tractor with a small attachment (like stump grinder or PHD) will fit inside except for the bucket or grapple itself. Hay now mosly fills 1/3 of the shed.

Pic 1 is first time I test fit the tractor into the barn/shed, Pic 3 is the first 50 bales, pic 4 is a load of another 55 bales...

Be well sir!

As a joke, it is often remarked that the two happiest days in a horse owner's life are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Same thing is said for boats...

I always heard a boat was a hole in the water you threw money into...

At least the horses produce copious amounts of fertilizer...

Yesterday I took the leaf blower and blew some of the leaves in the front yard onto a tarp so I could drag them to the area I will make a garden mext spring.

I also blew the leaves off of much of my 1/2 mile of gravel driveway.

Today I replaced the traction belt on my JD X324. I swear they build the tractor around that belt!

Yesterday I moved some more hay bales closer to the house, and filled the tractor with diesel. I refilled the 5gal gas & both 5gal diesel jerry cans and topped off car & truck in prep for the storm. I got some seat time on stump grinding and piled dead logs for a temporary shooting backstop.

Be well all,
David

 

[MossflowerWoods]

Today I plan to finish prepping for the storm and also do a little bit of shooting with a buddy...

I wonder what I will ACTUALLY get done?

Be well all,
David
