What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Looks like rain coming in for next 3 days in southern Vermont. So going to try to get the yard mowed.
Got a possible lead on some tires for the dump truck I acquired to go check out today if possible. Then it should be ready for inspection and safe firewood hoarding.
I had hoped to get some of the log pile bucked up but looks like today is going to be full and with rain coming in, it may be next week.
Got another register cut into the plenum for the Woodchuck furnace in the shop. I figured that outlet square inches should equal inlet filter square inches. Scientific eh but that’s how I roll.
To all a good day.

Is the kiddo teething? They can sometimes run a fever. Hope he/she feels better soon.

 

Yes. Got 2 coming in. Seems like it happens once a month now. Fever seems to be pretty much gone. Just a few 3 hour naps.

 

Great news

 

We would alternate doses of Tylenol and Ibuprofen

 

I still take them...together though...I don't take meds very often, but if I'm really hurtin, the two together work better than just one or the other...I usually take half of a full dose of each, then go from there in 4-6 hours...

 

Sounds like he is doing better. Let him get the rest he needs.

 

Give em' a chunk of Oak to knaw on........................

 

He's got a few a those. The dog liked them too.

 

I drive up over the hill in the background every couple weeks. Got to go to Harrington’s over by the school on Brunswick street.

Back a few years ago one of my best friends passed from a massive heart attack at 49 years old. His uncle who half raised him as his own father died when we were still in grade school has a little party for Richies birthday. He’s a fisherman, lobsters, fishes halibut, drags scallops, anything in salt water. Well this summer he wanted butter for the party and someone brought some run of the mill grocery store butter. Nope. Only real pure butter is houlton farms dairy butter, they only buy milk from one breed of cow it think guernsey? So I go to the area they sell this stuff, a long way from machias where he lives and get 25 pounds. Tonight I got a surprise for “butter pay”. Apparently a pound of that stuff is worth a lobster. Guess I’m eating bad for a while. This is half cooking half waiting to die.

 

I spent the morning paying bills, running errands, and other crapola. Is that a word? I like it. Anywho. And I stacked about 2.5 cord of firewood.

I decided after that I needed some nice tractor time.

I then spent about four hours on the Kubota L3540 using the front bucket, and landscape rake on the rear, to finish off an area with a lot of rocks, smaller stones, sticks, etc., the area is now pretty much ready for seeding. This will be another pasture area but more so a place for them to work the horses. Keeping them fit and understanding they need to do what they are asked for all the free food they get served! LOL

But I’m going to wait until I get another area finished off next to it where I need to burn away a large fire. Then finish that area off and seed all at once. That burning has to wait until we get some steady rain. Looks like steady rain is going to start about midnight tonight and continue all day tomorrow. I don’t want to stay up until midnight and then later. Maybe I’ll wait until the next time the rain, and timing, is right.

Should I seed this late in the fall? Or wait until spring time?

 

It is getting kinda late, but the ground temp is still high so unless the bottom drops out on the temps, you should still be able to get some grass going yet this year, especially if you cover it in straw and it stays moist...

 

Based on the long range forecast of above seasonal temps., if you can seed it in the next week or so I'd be going for it.

 

Bon Apetit ............

 

Not sure when your first frost is, but if that's in the next 2 weeks plant some wheat to hold the dirt until spring.

 

Lenny.
See want ads if you need dry wood

 

Temps are supposed to drop after tomorrow at this end of the state. Might want to use perennial rye and fertilize with seed starter. It’ll grow fast. If not, then try the wheat idea.
