Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Yes Pappy. Usually things slow down a little during the winter, but we still always have a long list of jobs that need doing. It is a never ending list that is very adaptive. What’s a priority in the morning when I get up could be pushed to the side for something more urgent that suddenly pops up.
It’s looking like my busy schedule is going to get even busier. My brother had his colonoscopies and he didn’t pass. Very early in the information process but it sounds like it’s treatable. He’s going to need more test. And treatments. He’s my right hand. It’s really going to be hard for both of us. I pray he does well.
Yes Buckskinner. They sure do make a lot of it. I almost stopped and took a picture of it. My youngest son works at a park and they are swarmed by them. They get lots of complaints from the campers about the “fertilizer”. In the past they could chase them away with the gator, but they can’t anymore. They have to get a harassment permit to do that now.
Today I’m back in the shop. Had some logistical office work to do and I think I’m going to get back at the fertilizer on the planter. The parts I needed to finish the fertilizer system up came now. Gotta stay at something on the list.

Waiting for a truck. Sun just coming up and full moon going down . Didn’t get a picture of the moon before it disappeared into the clouds.
Oh there’s my truck

Great looking sunrise Bj. Will be keeping your brother in my prayers.
Cant cover ground like you can. Got about 6 acres done and a little less to go cutting out the big stuff. Working at it at as often as I can, as well as some others who are doing the fine work. Had to head up with the brush hog and grind up the mess I made to make it easier for them to get through. Prunners are powered by compressed air so the hoses get caught up in everything.

Had a special project going the last few years and figured I had better cash out now before it interferes with production. A few apple staves I have been watching for the last few years. Sealed the ends but don't have the time to do much to them now. Picture makes them look a little nicer than they are but they are not bad, hope to get a bow or 2 out of them. Hope in 2 weeks things will be a little slower and i'll be able to get back to my shop.
