What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

That's not so bad.

This one is a bit ancient though!

 

Probably haul some wood into the basement today depending on just how wet it got from the rain.

I gave the wood room a bit of TLC last week.

I figured I would try a different approach when filling the wood room. I always swept up debris between carrying loads in , but last year, I just left everything where it landed. As the burning season progressed, I would just throw the debris into the furnace/stove as I cleaned up.

It made for a very messy wood room and I will not do that any longer. For me, there is no sense to put off cleaning up all the wood chips, pieces of bark, and associated. It'll go straight to the pit as it used to.

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

There are a lot of places I love visiting, but wouldn't want to live.

To each their own I guess.

 

Got on the tractor early this morning and mowed food plots. It's dumping rain now so it was good timing. Hopefully it will knock back the weeds and the clover can really take off and grow.

If the rain lets up I'm going to grab the neighbor's skid steer and get deer blinds loaded up...I left the tractor at the property to unload them.

Got to give the barn a deep cleaning....having a graduation party for my daughter, niece, and nephew out there this weekend.

 

We had 3 hummingbird sightings by mid season last year, so we took the feeder down and said we weren't doing it this year. Yesterday we had one and 3 so far today. The feeder is up.

 

Back at the country club for a few days finishing up the cement siding. They are supposed to have a ribbon cutting ceremony here friday to officially open the new addition

 

Put the humming bird feeders out last last week and had some cliental right away. Guess we should have put them out a little earlier.

 

I said if they had let me know they were coming I would have had dinner ready.

 

We have some red flowers out front. The one Sunday went for them. Yesterday one went for the flowers and one went for the flag. This all has me puzzled with us having virtually no activity last year.

 

We've noticed that the feeder on the lake side of the house gets more active at sunset/dusk every evening. Doesn't matter if the weather is warm, cold, clear, overcast, windy.

I guess even hummers have "last call"

 

Had a power outage fora couple hours. Learned a farm house a couple miles away was destroyed by a water heater explosion. N9 one injured . Rain and cold days have made for low productivity around here.

 

Lots of stored power released in those explosions!

 

99 and I were returning from a walk the other day. As we were heading down our driveway, another neighbor walked past on the road and yelled out "Happy Memorial Day!"


As we took a few steps down our driveway, 99 says "I don't think I ever heard that phrase before...Happy Memorial Day. It just doesn't sound right."

No, it sure doesn't.

 

I don't think the average American realizes it's a somber day. Most don't understand the difference between Memorial and Veterans Day.

 

Saturday I called the daughter of my best man who was killed in Nam. I try to keep in touch with her and her mom, especially on Memorial Day weekend. She never knew her dad. I do agree with theburtman about many not knowing the difference between Memorial and Veterans Day. Today is a somber day.
