    Woke up this morning. Hit my Weather Chamnel app, sunny, temps in the 80s lows in the 60s today and all week.

    Rubbed eyes, saw the location was set for somewhere in Mexico.

    Started a fire, went to work. Drizzle and in the 30s. :)

    Went to the Dr today. Gots me a hernia, getting it stitched up on Monday. I'm not worried about the surgery, but 4 weeks of light duty is going to SUCK.

    Too bad on the hernia. Take it easy.

    I picked up some cheaters for reading today. Ugh.

    Now I see why my wife complains how beat up my hands look. Amazing clarity though. Lots of little wood splinters here and there.

    UGH! Sorry to hear this Lukem. All the things you want to do will still be there when you get to them. Go easy and enjoy the time of rest. Even after 4 weeks you should ease back into it slowly over 2-3 more weeks so you are sure to be 100% when you want to do the harder stuff. Best of luck with it our friend. And hopefully we will be seeing more of you here!

    #2 on the going easy and not rushing it. That takes time to heal completely and properly...............

    I just got a tiny splinter out of my daughters foot, I was pretty much digging for it blindly. I really need some glasses.

    I get it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. My wife has already threatened me with my life.

    Things could be a LOT worse. Got to keep things in perspective.

    It was a good day today. I was able to get a good amount of work done with the 210C. Moving dirt(fill) from the barn pad to some low spots on the camp road I wanted to fill in. Took out several small Ash and dead Pine trees with the CS680. Dug out several more stumps that needed removal. Moving along a little at a time. Getting another large pile of debris ready for a fire the next time it rains at the right time.
