    180 here, weeds are waist high and the chickens are in full production. I'm down a brush cutter, clamp broke on the Husky. 70's this weekend.

    I'm envious! Did you catch the pic that snowdrifts finally took our trampline this winter? Sorry about you equipment.

    Caffeine! Going to another town close by to see two of our kids. Have breakfast with them and cheer on our daughter’s boyfriend who is running a half marathon later this morning. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring, but it is a day off!

    I was going to go to my buddy's house with the bobcat toolcat and get some more firewood as I know there's more ash to clear that falls all the time there. It's just too wet out. We didn't get the amount of rain that folks like lukem got, but it's still too much.

    So I'll work on the remaining score I got from my nearly 3 cords that I got previously. There's still a few needing splitting and a couple that need shortening yet. Hopefully I don't find any more nails with the chainsaw.

    I also need to get materials lists for my planters I am going to make from the repurposed fiberglass tubs the neighbor gave me. The wife already wants 1 to be all herbs. That's a great idea. I also have a ton of canna Lilly seeds to plant and see what colors they'll bloom.

    Guess it doesn't matter, frame is so bent and lost so many springs.

    Kind of the same here. We have had a wet March and weather is quickly going from the 40's to the 60's and into the 70's next week. Too wet to use the tractor but the weeds really need brush hogging. I'll work on fencing the garden and planting fruit trees this weekend. I thought I was done cutting but a tree fell over our trail. I hope you stay away from the nails! I find them with chainsaws and tires every time.

    Looks like a total loss, sorry to hear that. They are so good at wearing out the kiddos.

    I estimate the drift was 10-12' high, but dirt blows between inches of drift height :doh:
    I think so too. She grew up out here as an only child and that tramp was really good for her. Since the drifts she sits/swing on the childhood swingset and I'd guess it would be better if she was bouncing-using musclels and cardio instead. I set an alert on Slickdeals, just waiting to purchase a new one :)

    I went surfing for a new tramp. Um, every single one comes with a guard rail net 360*. And complaints there is no ladders on some :picard:

    The rain is just relentless. I had to get the tractor out in the dark last night and move some dirt and make a diversion to keep water away from the house. The yard is a disaster but the house is dry. Nothing dirt and grass seed can't fix but trying to move mud in a thunderstorm in the dark isn't how I like to spend my evening.
