Another day in the sunshine

Went out this morning and set three more posts for the corral fence. Then mowed the road ditch that was left to do and then went out this afternoon and dump raked it. I worked on the rake the other day and fixed a flipper on it so that it works like it’s supposed to.Continue reading “Another day in the sunshine”

Whew!

Pretty warm and muggy out there. Got some rain last night. I went out and started working on replacing some old boards in the corral with poles. Went and picked up some old oak poles Dusty gave me years ago. they are in surprisingly good shape, for as long as they have lain around. HopeContinue reading “Whew!”

Odds and ends

Me and the boys ran down to Punkin Center the other day and ate lunch and picked up some rail road ties for posts. Also some more calf feed. We dug holes for the posts yesterday and took off a gate and set a new post for it. Gramma got home about then, so sheContinue reading “Odds and ends”

I’ll be darned

Found my little black bull. He was with the rest of the bulls! (insert emoticon of guy slapping forehead!) Evidently I miscounted when I sorted them. Not unusual, but usually the other way. After Gramma got home we drove to look and checked the bulls and found him so then drove over to the pairsContinue reading “I’ll be darned”

Hmmmm

Rode Beaver up the creek after Cindy got home to watch the boys. Found and doctored the bad eyed heifer but did not find the little black bull. Hmmm….

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”

Munchkins

We went out and worked on the dump rake. I think we have it working this time. I never was too mechanical. As Marty is always saying to me, “Son! Get away from that wheelbarrow, you don’t nothing about machinery!” 😉 We all got hot so came in the house to cool down. Later weContinue reading “Munchkins”

Some stuff

Had an insurance adjuster come this morning to look at the roof and see if they would help any with the leaking problem. Looks like I am going to have to build a small slanted roof on top of this one, where it is flat. Why in the hell they ever built them flat topsContinue reading “Some stuff”

My sister Brigitte is here from Switzerland, visiting. She has rented a car and drove out yesterday morning. Also, my cousin’s Pat and one of his sister’s Maureen came out. we had a good visit and I had some old pictures and a letter about their father to give them. My Dad was the executorContinue reading “Family”

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!”
