yup, cold. yesterday I had a handful of wrenches and headed out to remove the distributor from Ollie. got as far as the end of the ramp and stopped. that wind was raw. so I picked up the live trap and brought it in. baited it and set it out on the deck railing. I THINK there is just one red squirrel left.. I thought that a couple of times before . lolol
I noticed last night that our water is free of that metalic taste from the old copper pipes.. imho, no need to buy bottled water any more.
as long as I can't get at Ollie, I keep reading on forums about tractor repairs and questions.
yesterday I learned something.
on Ollie, I cannot get at the front of the tractor to crank the engine by hand. there is a loader in the way and the hydraulic pump is connected to where the hand crank would normally go.
somebody said to put the pto in gear and use a wrench to turn the engine over that way.. with the battery disconnected of course..
Annie is set on making prima vera out of some of the left over salmon. I will go along with it, although it doesn't sound as good as shrimp. lol
she told me that salmon is $8.oo/lb.
at that rate the piece I cut up was close to $5o.oo.. thanks to our nephew, who lives just across the road from Lake Michigan, we have about six more slabs in the freezer.. I am still waiting for a trout. lol
I also just got done picking up all the dog poop on the (quite big) yard lol resulted in me doing lots of squats LOL
