    Talk about doing things 2x. My 16/17 stacks, which were put into place last fall, were at a serious lean this spring. I was so careful in setting these 5 racks up and this winter did them in. The weight of the 3-4 ft of snow on top of the rows forced the wood in one direction and the domino effect came into play. I have 2 of the 5 are redone. Anyone else have the snow make your wood start to fall over?

    Luckily my keys were still there when he came home from town. Crazy considering we lived on a very steep mountain road with washboard. Glad you got yours back too, you did, right? Heard them ratteling back there?

    My sunglasses/ safety glasses are always on top of my head if they are not covering my eyes.

    Worse than even a pricey pair of Oakley's though is that I cracked the screen on my flagship smartphone that I only got in November. Grrrr. It works, but looks like crap. I can send it in and Motorola can fix it. It's not like some phones that you can have the glass replaced on site while you wait.

    Sure, I'll blame the snow... just tonight finished restacking the second section of my 16-'17 stacks I intentionally knocked over on Sunday. Too wobbly to have the little ones walking next to.

    You would be amazed at how many times we used to pull up to a job and find someones coffee cup still on the back of the bucket truck. Seen lots of stuff ride back there.

    I was waiting for the yard to dry out so we could get the rest of it fixed and cleaned up and then plant the grass where needed. Then it rained last night. Quite a bit! :picard:Guess I'll be waiting several more days now.

    My yard takes a pretty good beating in the winter too. I did fix up the spot from replacing the well pump that you had to remind me about though.:D

    Crime scene. It looks like a raccoon used the small wood stack to launch himself onto the composter. It was a freestanding stack. It even managed to get the lid off.

    Good morning, cloudy with mid 60's today.
    I finally got the yard mowed yesterday before rain, had a couple nice showers. 8-10 miles west barely got a drop, so I worked up a truckload of red elm.
    I'm thinking of chasing fishes after I unload the truck.
    Be safe out there. Peace.
