    The dogs will eat all of the cookies if you don't put a perimeter wire around them.

    Uh, nope.
    I put up a motion light (actually, more than one in different places) on the front of the stove room pointing down toward the wood shed. Works great. I now have 2 led "bulbs" in it w/o issue.
    Does that help?

    Well, I may have, but I have no recollection of that.
    Now, if someone were to jog my memory with the post or something, I'm sure it'd be clear as a bell.....full o' mud.:)

    don't think I'll choose that employer as the hours are different.....start and end later work day.
    A 2nd employer has already hired someone. (A good guy, retired LEO.)

    Saturday I did a load of dishes before I rode to a 2 hour meeting that started at 10. Then rode home, gathered the trash and made a dump run. Then spent a couple of hours raking up leaves and fallen branches and made two more trips to the dump to drop all the nature off at the brush pile. Completed 2 loads of laundry, typed out and distributed meeting minutes and I'm sure I did some other stuff in there too.

    Sunday I slept way in - until 7. I perused the internet (FB, forums and blogs) for quite a while before getting my stuff together and starting the day. Went to get groceries (found TSC, Aubuchon's and Agway were closed), then spent a couple more hours raking up leaves and stuffing them into repurposed bark mulch bags so they are ready for next weekend's dump run. Paid bills, balanced the checkbook (hadn't looked at a statement since the Christmas shutdown so took quite a while), washed the truck and car and cleaned out their interiors. Did another load of dishes last night after cooking steaks on the GF and plopped my butt down to read some.

    A weighted drum is rolled around to flatten lumps and bumps that arise from freeze/thaw, moles...etc.
    That's my unnerstanding.

    I tore up some of the lawn with the plow, the moles made a mess and the frost makes a lot bumps. The roller flattens all of this.

    Burned a brush pile. Changed oil & filter on truck. Changed carb on splitter. Split some ash. Dinked around on tractor & graded a couple trails. Felled a 12" cherry and a leg sized hard maple. Built a new brush pile with tops. Spent an hour walking around looking at a drainage issue and some possible solutions. Glanced longingly at my motorcycle sitting with its cover on.
