Raking

The rake works much better now, tho’ there is still an adjustment out of whack and I have to start the trip by pulling on a chain and then allowing it to trip. Wish there was some old timer around here to show me how to adjust it. Still worked good and much better thanContinue reading “Raking”

What got done today

Laramie came and we shod the navicular horse, according to Burgee and my friend Corky. Hopefully it will work. Worked on the rake and am putting a 5 wheel type axle on the front of it.

Little black bull.

He may have won the battle, but he lost the war. I went over to the neighbors after Gramma got home to watch the urchins and the neighbor joined me on his horse.

Some stuff

Warmish!

Especially under the crawl space in the house. Even more especially when you’ve gotten more plumbing stuff to fix things SOMEBODY screwed up and find that they are the wrong size as the people who hooked up the waterlines to the clothes washer switched over from 1/2 inch copper tubing to some kind of copperContinue reading “Warmish!”

Kitchen Aid!

I ran in to Rapid early this morning and got a whole bunch of odds and ends for the house. Got a new drive belt for the mowing machine as the other looks to be about broken in two. When I got back Tate had hung several cabinets and had the counter top we installedContinue reading “Kitchen Aid!”
