    Just got done getting my but kicked by my well. Pump went up yesterday, pitless adapter crapped out, pressure switch was acting up at the contacts. No pics except this one. 20141024_133926.jpg Luckily my BIL and a good buddy helped me get the pump out last night, the rest I did myself. Tried to make a boom pole but failed at my first attempt.

    Ya. It's still growing here Nate. It has slowed, but still growing. So far it has been a mild Fall. We had a cold spell or two, but not very cold. I will be glad when the grass mowing is done. I have enough other things to do! LOL

    Time for me to split the rest of the wood for my brother. Going to start at 8 this morning. After I get the caffeine in me. Then it will be on to several small projects I want to take care of before the snow flies. Like putting up the plastic panels around the porch to keep the snow out.

    Same here. I already did the "last cut" twice and with 3 inches of rain this week and daytime highs pushing 60 next week the lawn is greener now than it was in September! :(

    Yes. I think so. I am hoping to get something done before it does. But, when it rains, I have some inside project to do as well. Never a shortage of things to do when you have two pieces of property, a wife and four kids. :confused: My oldest moved away down south about 4-5 weeks ago though.:( Miss her.

    My wife dragged me out to the mall this morning since Macys was having a big sale and I need new work shoes. They have this traveling Lego "americana" exhibit that was really cool to see.

    2014-10-25 10.35.06.jpg

    I forget what the sign said but it was something crazy like a 1000 hours of work by a half dozen people... There was also the supreme court, Lincoln and Washington memorials, the white house, independence hall, statue of liberty and a bunch more.


    We were going to go out for lunch also but the kids had a meltdown when we wouldn't buy them a toy at the lego store which scrubbed that idea.

    Well I moved a good bunch of wood in under the porch, then stacked it. Cut a little more grass. Just a bit of rain. Was able to get a decent amount of work done. Time to relax for the rest of the day!
