    For sure the next several days do not look good for outdoor work or hunting.

    We're in the 40-50 area so I'll make sure that some of my longer chains are ready tomorrow morning, I have enough 18-20 inch chains ready.

    With all the rain coming over a 24 hr period, I can see trees coming down with the saturated ground.

    I'm not sure the last time I used them so I'm hoping they're in the sharpened rack.

    It's 46 here in the Pines, I have 3 of the 4 things done, so I'm heading to the garage to check for some sharpened 28 inch chains.

    Garbage = done
    Two Loads of Pine In = done
    Some computer work = done
    28 Inch Chains = I have two that were ready

    I remembered that the other day I saw my parents grass it was long. So after I got the kids on the bus I did a little cleaning in the basement then went up to their house at 8:30, set the mower down to the lowest setting and push mowed all their grass (and leaves)! Nice and short for spring now. Then moved air conditioner to attic for them. And put several things around the garage up on the shelves. They are in gooder shape for winter now. The rain has started here. Now we will have lunch together after they get back from mass. Mmmmmm. Home made Beef Barley Soup! image.jpg

    Wind is picking up here now. Just saw a big blustery burst of leaves go by my window. I knew not raking those leaves was the right thing to do. They are all going to blow away!:rofl: :lol:
