    I wouldn't complain if my creek would auto deposit stone into my property every year. Hopefully you can get a calm weather year to get ahead of it and get things rooting.

    Super! The sound or the smell makes the hairs on my arm stand up. Good memories!

    Worked 6-6 on Father’s Day for a coworker. Then took my wife out to dinner. Weather was nice to eat outside on the deck right near the water. 23 years in this past Saturday. o_OTime flies when you’re having fun.:faint:

    We dodged a bullet today considering we will be leaving on a camping trip in a couple weeks...

    This morning I noticed the bottom of the first row of concrete blocks were wet on the south east corner of our house. I opened the crawl space door and discovered the main water line was dripping from the area circled in red. So I call a guy after I shut the well off and drained the system. As soon as he started to remove that mess it broke off. Look how thin it was after 28 years. For some reason, the original well installer used galvanized steel fittings. Everything has been replaced with brass. The only thing in there now is a 1" ball valve to shut off the water going up into the house. No gauge, switch ect. All that had already been replaced with new items at the well itself 4 years ago. At that time a new pump went in our 4" well and a fiberglass tank was put in the ground along with a freeze proof pressure switch. Imagine how much water a 1" line from a 4" well could put in a crawl space in 5 days.

    I borrowed my buddy's rototiller. I haven't had a garden in like 4 years since I had a garden.
    PXL_20250617_003051060.MP~2.jpg

    I have 12 jalapeno plants, 2 Serrano peppers, and a boat of guajillo peppers I started from seed. Plus 12 Roma tomato plants. It might be a little packed. Oh well.

    I'll need to put up a fence to keep the pups out.
    Here's the torture device I used. It ran well at least. It might have been used last when I had a garden. PXL_20250617_003211877.jpg

    Then I stacked a trailer full of wood in the shed.
    The trailer PXL_20250615_003549016.jpg

    There were a few pieces for the campfire wood on top. Shorts and or punky. The Fire doesn't care.

    The shed after. There was 2 I think loads in it before this one. Just starting the third row or five to make 5 cords

    None. I remember looking that up many moons ago. Trouble was I couldn't seem to come up with the right name until someone brought it up on their phone. I learned something then. On iphone, if you bring up a picture, there is an icon at the bottom which will look uo what is pictured. For sure it is not always right but it is another tool.

    Yeah, I can only imagine. Suppose you went on a trip and suddenly... Yikes.
