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
Lisa, not good weather for making hay.
today I went to dr. for my annual check up.
all the numbers were better than the last time and that time was not so bad. i even lost 15 pounds. even after eating two rhubarb pies ..
bought a head light for my head, not the car.
shopped for hand...

.IF YOU HAVE TO, AND HAVE FRESH GAS IN IT.

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...
Barb, I see you posted at 2:24AM
I was getting out of bed at 2:22 AM
wierd
we lost power from 8 PM until 10:35 PM
we had a tornado warning so we spent about an hour in the basement bedroom
no power, no cell phones, no land line phone
a couple of flashlights and the flashlights on our cell...
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...
I went out at sunrise to get this picture.
it is the plum tree in it's second year of producing.
the blossoms are really holding on for a long time
good, gives the bees more time to do their thing .
Barb, don't feel too bad about the bunnies. You did your best.
they are difficult to raise..
6 AM and the sun isn't up yet. 58F already,
my plan today is to get the sump pump installed.
and maybe select some boards for my sister's bench slats
Barb, good luck with your bunny
even if you raise it, it is very rare for one to be tame
I knew a neighbor kid who raised rabbits. He successfully raised a cotton tail. but it never tamed down.
made a trip to Menard's again today. we picked the wrong sump pump. it was 3/4 hp, not 1/2.
bro...
Barb, you must have started typing just as I was waking up. I got up at 3:45am.
we were at Memards uesterdau also.
bought a new sump pump. of course we had to buy 2" pipe and fittings. the 1 1/2" pipe I already have wouldn't fit the new pump.
In my cleaning in the shop, I found enough...
with a little luck, this should be a picture of our
45 to 50 year old volunteer apple trees.
it is stuck between the pines. all of the branches on the other side are dead and gone.
the two trunks each produce a different apple.
last year the one on the left did not blossom.
this year, 3/5 of...
Here is a shot of the under stairs shelf with all of the small piles of cut/offs and plywoods. even some eight foot stock lying on the floor.
I got the drill press moved out of the way.
even fixed the pinion gear.
I promised my sister that I would make new slats for one of her park...
