Fox came back. Either him or Spot made a sound, I opened the door, and he took off after a moment of hesitation. Maybe I could get a guard donkey. I always kinda wanted a donkey, and it would give Spot some backup. Bonus is the ridiculous sound they make, and I can pissoff the neighbors at the...

Noisewall today. Marked 20 posts, and that finished out the wall part. 220 posts done twice. Once to get the foundations in, and again to set the columns. Only thing left on that job is stormwater management and signs. I'll be happy when I don't have to go back. Working next to an interstate...

Careful with the waterpump. I haven't had much luck in the past running machines without moving water. Not much useful work before things heated up too much. What's a sand point? You're saying the surface water is better than deep?

I bought a used high top camper insert for my first pickup around 92. Paid $75 for it. It needed some work cause of rotted wood, but I got it tightened up with some scrap 2x4, a saw, and a Swiss army knife. Didn't look like much, but it worked. It matched the truck, which also didn't look like...

Is the bed usable? A lot can be done with some wood, tarp, and paracord.

Looks like a good day. Glad you got Goldie back :^)

I think it's the fox. I just heard Spot yell, and I shined a flashlight outside. She was on her perch by the fire rocks, and I saw eyes shining on the hill. Focused the light, and the fox ran away behind the property. She's done pretty well keeping the fox away, but I'm a little worried about...

Went out to look at the boxwood, but decided to hold off for awhile. I want to see what I did turns into, and get a better feel how to progress. I milled that small ash stem I dropped. Check this out... I think I need a new bolt :^D That didn't happen today. Must have been one of the times...

Spot's food dish was moved this morning. It didn't make it off the patio. Probably not fun, cause it's a broken polystyrene tray that's wired together, so it flaps around. I'm starting to get annoyed. I might setup an old cell phone and snap a pic every ~5 seconds, and see if I can capture...

Spot's water bowl was missing again this morning, and I couldn't find it this time. I replaced it with a heavy terracotta dish. Unless it's a human, let's see if whatever dickhead animal can carry that off. That stainless bowl I was using is cursed. I found it at the back of the farm last year...

I really like river birch. I'd get some, but I'm out of room. A dawn redwood took the spot I was thinking about putting a birch in. edit: Thinking about it... I may have a place for some birch since I took down that ash. I'll have to give that some thought. Might conflict with the Japanese...

Gonna keep the computer? Looks like it might be a good one, but perhaps overkill for the purpose. Looks like it's watercooled?

Spot's water bowl was missing this morning. I found it in the neighbor's yard, close to the propertyline. Any ideas how it got there? I don't usually get dogs right at my backdoor. I'm thinking fox, or raccoon. I'm not that familiar with fox. Can they be trolls? Raccoon speaks for itself. Just...

That sucks having to take business calls, and talk to random people. My private line's private. If you're not in my contacts, I don't get the call, and you can leave a message if necessary. I leave messaging unblocked as a failsafe, but if I started to get a bunch of bullshit on that, I'd lock...

Your kids are growing up quick! I noticed that yesterday. They look very different from when I first met them.

Neat sky in that last pic. Looks like a contrail from a drunk pilot :^D

I like the two ladders on the roof. When you want to be absolutely sure things will go tits up :^D Helped Mike a little deadwooding a beech... Went ok mostly. The tree caught and held pretty much everything cut, so it had to be cleared out on the way down. Also, I about flipped out on my...

If /I/ were told to cast a new post, and me knowing nothing about it, I'd put a screw into the stud, find or make a circular form for the top, then pour lead into the form. No idea if that would work.

Sinking something in the top would probably require bracing so it wouldn't shake loose. Maybe a wood frame. Casting a new post would probably be better.

I like the orange also. I have an orange hitchclimber with a green sheave I like a lot.
