In my defense…when it’s getting close to bedtime and you’ve worked hard all day, hangry…

Getting a lift out is more hassle than it seems. Go in the front, unlock, disarm alarm, search around inside the shop for a forklift, open a bay and drive it out back, walk back out front, get the truck and trailer, open a gate, pull it in, unload, do it in reverse…it’s on 8 acres and I already walked around it 100 times that day and then went and did trees a few hours.


I need to get my old champ fork running and station it out back, keep the key in my truck.

Blah blah blah. Blaggggggggh blah blah. Blagggggggggggh.

I feel that in my soul.

I just don't wanna!

So yesterday I finally dealt with something I'd put off for the better part of a year.
Looks a little nasty after I unwrapped it, but it's cleaned up and rebandaged now.

Turns out that what I had thought was a cyst was actually a thorn surrounded by scar tissue. Pretty sure it was the Buckthorn I dealt with when I first got out here.

Ps I also hacked the beard back, because stray hairs kept getting caught in the Unicender...

Last bit of work at this site for now, fished the broken off limb out of the oleanders. cruised the tele home. Delivered firewood. Bought another military trailer for firewood. Looked at the monster tree (only from the street) pics don’t do it justice.

[Kaveman]

Nope, I wussed right out of that, and I'm glad I did too. Bloody mess.

Amazing the things you find obstructing the float valve…
Of course poop rolls downhill so the peacock gasket was disintegrated, ordered a new one.
Bike stopped gushing gas out of the overflow..

He’s just learning.

He’s just learning.

Some of us are slow learners.

 

[Burnham]

Now that's a fact .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well first you master the art of the levers on the broom and rake, then hydraulic levers may come your way

You’ll get there. Stay the course.

Big brush trailer load cut down several/ many times while leaving small logs 3" and up for firewood.

How it went today? So I make dinner, an Indian dish, butter chicken, delicious. Yes I use the sauce from Aldi but I make it better.
So fast forward after dinner my oldest daughter is watching a show and is talking about this “Indian” kid playing a Mexican character. So I ask her dots or feathers? And she looks at me like she has no clue what I’m talking about. Like none. Again I ask dots or feathers? She is still giving me a blank stare, mind you she is a preteen, like I just asked her who killed Kennedy on the Grassy Knoll. So I ask is the kid Native American or is he from where grandpa is from? She then is like “ I don’t know, where grandpa is from, I guess” “ sorry I don’t know the difference”. To which I respond “ you owe your people an apology, YOU are half dot how do you not know the difference” Lol I’ve failed my children.
