    Nice. I drive through there occasionally. Nice neck of da woods. Kind of a mess forecasted for this weekend, but nothing we haven’t seen before. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    42° outside. Double that temp in the stove room. Oops. It's full on tropical in here.

    Cutoffs from dimensional lumber can burn pretty hot. 688° at the stove glass.

    49F here & drizzle. Absolute crap weather, similar for tomorrow. I put some soft Maple or Poplar in the boiler to keep the fire going. I hope Santa's AC works or he's get heat stroke. Merry Christmas!

    33 out right now, very foggy had some drizzling rain also.

    Left work today fully loaded.


    KIMG0247.JPG

    Oak in the truck bed with a trailer load of 12 bales of hay.

    Then on the way home the truck started to bog down, just in time to look back and see the trailer leaning and white smoke start coming from the one tire, pull over and hop out and sure enough blew a tire and the weight made the trailer dig in to the other tire stopping it from turning(after taking chunks of rubber off it as well)

    Very thankfully I was right by parents driveway and my brother was over there with his tractor, dropped the 2 back bales on the road and he got them with the tractor and I tossed the truck in 4 low and very slowly drug the trailer the rest of the way to my parents road and into there drive were we unloaded the rest of the trailer and got the blown tire pulled off so I could pull the trailer home, have to do tire shopping on Monday now. It's always something.
