Sorry about the no haying, Lisa. I have a work truck parked on the side of the yard We decided to have it picked up by the auto wrecker. Time really flies.. the last time I had it licensed was 2006 . There are a few things stored in it. some scaffold, an outboard motor, a radial arm saw, some...

those kittens sound like a hoot. we are dry here for a couple of days. I hope Lisa is making hay. this weekend is our eleventh annual get together for four couples who raise chickens. we rent a church campground with camper hookups and a dining hall and bunk beds for those who...

worked in the shop only for a little while today. finished the wooden top for the drill press. Annie wanted to clean up around the long neglected other apple tree. my boat was parked next to it for many many years. I had to use the loader to jerk out three large bushes blocking the boat from...

I made good progress with the bench slats yesterday, today I will round all the edges and then cut them to length. I have two pieces of 2x4 trimmed down and planed to thickness, I will glue them to the wooden table top on the drill press. bringing the width to 14". covering the whole...

I had a slow start for the day, but it ended with my getting the wooden table top onto the drill press. then I got eight of the nine slats cut for the park bench. then bro Dave came and I was done working for the day., that's OK because visiting people is important, too. I will be home...

rain rain and more rain. two weeks ago we bought a bare root pear tree. I stuck it into a half of a 55 gal barrel temporarily. good thing I did or it would be water logged. the barrel has plenty of drain holes. I have not had to water it since the day I planted it. It is looking really nice...

I had a good day on Saturday. I worked on the drill press. bought hand knobs for the tilt mechanism. they would not screw onto the bolts. I tried everything and finally decided that the bolts are metric. so, I put the one good original handle on and also put the threaded part of the broken...

we live about half way down on a long gradual slope. the water does not puddle up until it gets to the bottom, just before getting to the river. well past our yard.

good to hear you got both problems fixed. a few weeks back I could not get my sound to work on the computer. I tried everything I could think of finally got DD Brenda go come out. she fixed it in ten seconds.. I had accidently hit the sound button in the tool bar at the bottom of the screen...

I had to look up that tractor. I like those industrial loaders. tough tractors. my wife's cousin has one similar. only I don't think it runs. at least he never drives it. he will enjoy driving it. Barb must be busy making her slave sister work

Barb, I wish I could be there. I think I could get the mower going, make sure you have the choke fully closed. on mine the throttle control goes up to a point and stops. BUT, I have to push it hard to get it into choke. Annie hasn't quite mastered this step. Another possibility is water in...

I must have heard you put the dogs out. I woke up at 4AM. despite my "help" the pie turned out delicious. I looked up crust recipes on youtube. I might try one of those. I still think Annie's is too dry. I worked at Dixie Creme and made turnovers with pie dough. It was not as dry as...

the rhubarb pie is in the oven. note to self: don't try to make suggestions to wife about baking a pie. she refused to use the new cutting board to roll out the dough. kitchen table and waxed paper is her preference . and don't add more flout to the recipe. it makes it fall apart. can't add...

Annie and I worked on the sewage lift pump yesterday we got it put together and in place, then we discovered that the power cord was faulty . it was too hot to continue outside, so I brought the cord into the house and fixed it. today I will connect the cord and we should be good to go. the...
