    Just put the plow on the Jeep. This is an itty bitty 6' plastic plow, so much easier than fighting with the heavier 8' steel Fishers I've had on pickups. It has an extra 3rd plug that I forgot... got a little excited when I hit the "wow" buttons and nuthin happened... :whistle::D

    Well today I broke up the labor of bringing wood in to under the porch by playing with the tractor and working on the path. I did bring two heaping truck loads of firewood in from the stacks at two different times today and threw it under the porch. Left it there for the wife and kids. They stacked it when it was convenient for them. I also moved an old trailer that I don't want to mess with up to my neighbors and left it there to see if he wants it. If he doesn't I know he will take the steel from it. It still has a decent steel frame and the deck of P.T. is still good. But it needs a different axle and some work that I don't want to mess with so hopefully he can use it. Or a good friend of his that I know. And I brought him an H-Beam about 16-18ft long that is in nice shape. He will appreciate that. So I got those two things moved and those areas cleaned up. Overall I was able to get a good bit done today. And all that cold fresh air has me tired out. Hello chair. Mr. Beer. How is ya?

    We gave a small trailer to our neighbor, it was a mess. He fixed it up and sold it for $500.

    Hey Jeremy. Good to see ya back man. What's new? Well here I am trying to get the rest of my wood in under the porch. Late this year! And having a little fun on the tractor working on a path in the woods. I built some stake racks for my truck last weekend. You can see those in the DIY room in a thread titled "What do you think? Black?".

    Let's see. What else is new here? Stinny gave a tick on his property Stinnyitus by letting it bite him, boy did that bug have the losing end of that deal.
    :whistle: There are some auctions/fund raisers going on for saws for good cause. Unfortunately my funds are tight with the bills of two properties and Christmas coming. So I can't participate in them. :( There is some good food viewing in several threads. :zip: I need to eat less though. C'mon guys. Knock it off. Will ya?:picard:

    What's new with you man?

    LOL. Yup. Hopefully my neighbor will be able to do something with it. Even if he doesn't he can take the wood off it and use the metal for something. I know he can get some money for the H-Beam I gave him. Or he can use it in the new building he plans on building after he retires. A good size workshop with a small efficiency apartment in the back so he can crash right there when he wants. He is counting down the days. His last year. Retires next June.

    That's a grain and hops bag. It's boiling the grains, hops and malt but keeps them from free floating in the wort.

    Helping out neighbors is always good. I store up all my scrap metal and every so often call a guy that picks it up to get the cash for it. His wife has some serious medical issues and he has a hard time keeping a regular job. I figure everyone needs a break.

    Split a little elm with the Fiskars, sealed up and added insulation to some joist ends in the basement and spent some quality time with my bride :)

    Splitting elm by hand? Dam schlot, did you eat your Wheaties for breakfast today? Sounds like a good day you had. I am spending time with the family today as well. We just had dinner, good Pizza from a local shop and salad. And now it is watching a movie with the kids.

    Got a little nervous seeing the P/U in there, the ground looks like Moooooosh.
    Nice to see the Mrs in there giving a helping hand.

    I came in from the woods to the smell of homemade White Bean Soup.

    The trails should have a different smell tomorrow, it was great.
