What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Be sure to show some pictures when you get it. And Congrats!!

 

will do!

 

yes, one big happy family!

 

I keep a CO detector on the mantle. Came home from work earlier this week to it going off, and for the first time ever it was reading CO in the house (other than when I brought it downstairs a week ago to get a reading when one went off, but it was remembered that an engines exhaust fired straight in the workshop door for a minute a while earlier)

I had lit a fire the night before, and apparently it didnt burn properly, because once I realized the source was the stove (after worrying that it might be a bad boiler) I saw that it has the remnants of three splits barely smoldering in the firebox. Must have reversed the draft at some point. First time its ever happened. The wood was smoldering so slowly that there wasnt any smoke smell to be found in the house to accompany the CO.

 

Haven't run out of wood yet? You made it to the finish line!

 

Not even close! I probably have 1/4 of a cord of the ash you and I processed last spring left, and I have just shy of a half cord of red oak in the shed. So I only burned about 2.25 cords so far this winter. I will burn off and on for the next month. Probably have fires Tues-Wed looking at the forecast, but we are warming up significantly after that.

 

Good reminder for my home and maybe others here.. Having it go off late at night would get me up some quick.

 

I had to use that for a while when my cornea got scratched. The drops during waking hours and the ointment when I slept. It has a lot of salt in it and it can burn.

 

She's coming along

 

had a young man who does fence building come by to give me an estimate on my property. He and his brother are about 21, and have a pretty good operation going for two young men.

The cost of rebuilding my calf-weaning pasture and barn lot was higher than I anticipated, but he would deduct any clearing or other work I did.

Today I got the tractor out and pulled posts from three sections. Two areas around the barn will be replaced with wood. They are short enough to be a nuisance to try to stretch wire.

I need to get some cattle on the place before I get a review by the IRS. Way too long taking deductions without showing revenue.

 

Like your pictures and the cat also.

 

Thanks!

 

The 6.4 pulls great...Pulls money out of your wallet as she is a thirsty beast!

Ask me how I know...



Just a heads up, the Firestone Transforce tires are crap, the one in the picture has only 18,000 miles on it!

 

Sweet ride, butt yeah, 12+ with an emphasis on the + is too be expected.

 

Pretty color for the garage, and that rock in the 3rd pic is shaped like NFLD. Awesome cat, too

 

Got to nurse the Bronco along for awhile.
