They let you travel again?

I quietly hope it is the last time inside an airport for me . Flight out of San Antonio delayed , Flight arrived Chicago late , flight left Chicago late runway backed up 7 or more deep, flight arrived Indianapolis late . Got my bag then pd 36.00 to get my truck out of the economy lot after dropping 600 on a hotel for three nights and about 1k on two round trip tickets and checking one bag , round trip taxi fare to airport hotel and back about 120.00 with a 25 percent tip. Meals , wedding gift ( purpose of trip to attend wedding ) , bar tab, in at about 3K Thurs - Sun . I am so glad to be home , splitting wood , counting ammo , buying silver and other Chiefly duties .

You forgot to mention you know me. It would have been a lot smoother and cheaper.

[Working Poor]

it is getting down into the 40s tonight in my neck of the woods. It got so cold last year I nearly froze my ass off. I was so depressed from losing both my husband and mother I could barely chop enough wood to keep the fire burning. I ran out of wood on one of the coldest weeks of the winter. All my house plants froze also my seedlings for spring planting. My wolf dog loves the cold. I made a harness so he can help haul wood in the wagon he loves it. He needed a job.

Don't worry though I have almost enough wood gathered for the whole winter I have been finding lots of already cut up wood for free on craigslist all I have to do is load it up on the truck. I take my young strong nephew with me and let him do most of the work it is kinda nice training someone how to stack wood. I think I will teach him how to use the axe, wedge and sledge too. My work is almost done. I have become a great supervisor I did not know I had it in me.

I wish you a warm and comfortable winter .

I split wood all day today , at least the sun was shining . Supposed to rain again Fri I think . Tue through Thurs is a huge dry spell and much needed .

[oyarde]

According to the forecast tomorrow should be last rain of the month which would be the biggest dry spell since at least Jan . I am very pleased with that . I split wood today .

[Danke]

It was warm today, I thought about Oyarde pretending to do manual labor.

That resumes tomorrow . Fri is one of my two loafing days .

I slaved my ass of today . I cut a 1 x 5 board and replaced a board in the floor upstairs then I took my angle grinder with a wire brush and stripped paint off the brick of one of the chimneys someone had painted upstairs. Looks like it should now .

[oyarde]

I correctly predicted the moon to be at 91 percent waxing crescent today . I shall celebrate with a shot of bourbon since there is no rain forecast for seven days . My last bonfire of the year is to be 59 and partly sunny with a low of 39 . Perfect .

[oyarde]

I mowed about three acres today and took out a gas stove. Danke probably just sitting in a hand job bar in asia doing nothing productive .

Winter is coming, again

Winter is coming, again

First I am due a lovely Fall . I earned it . Winter is just to cull out the weak so it will be no bother.

[oyarde]

I am getting excited about my last bonfire of the year . I can taste the burgers already. @Danke would you like the opportunity to play the role of white settler for this ?

Does it involve hanging heathens?

It's $#@!ing cold. I even had to get out my fake fire space heater to sit on the porch.

I am on the patio, wearing shorts, drinking wine, watching the World Series, and looking up at an almost full moon...



Edit: Outdoor temp is 65.

I don't even think my space heater has the porch up to 65. I'm drinking beer tonight but I'm thinking about making some coffee and having a little Irish coffee. Not sure I'll sleep and I need to be on my game for the world's largest cocktail party tomorrow. I'm not going to the game but I'll be there in spirit.

Looks like fun! Get some sleep, you’ll need it!

Chucking wood today . It was nice out , sunny and the windand rain finally eased off a bit probably had about four days in the last ten with 40 mph gusts.

[Danke]

@oyarde, is it too early to put on the snow tires?

[oyarde]

@oyarde, is it too early to put on the snow tires?

Not for you , we are at Nov so it is time. I remember picking corn around Thanksgiving in my youth with snow in the fields. Coveralls on and no cab on the ol' International tractor with a cornpicker on the front . While you are putting your tires on I can tell you stories about hungry pilgrims .

[oyarde]

My Oaks , Cherries and Dogwoods are a splendid red color , the Maples . Paw Paw , Sassafras and Hickories yellow , the Beech still green .

[oyarde]

A beautiful day today probably not many more of these . Really not many all year .

[oyarde]

Over an inch of rain today , rainy , windy and cool tomorrow is the forecast . Glad all my firewood is cut . I still need to split most of it but I will get that this month .

[Danke]

How many beads to shovel my driveway? I may need you this winter when I'm out of town.

If you are not in town you will not need your driveway so I can offer you a reduced rate . Last few times I was there cooking hot dogs in your yard when you were gone I never thought to see if the drive needed work .

[oyarde]

Flood watch might end by 8:00 pm tonight .

[oyarde]

Sunny and 60 today , of course rain again tomorrow , I blame Danke .

[Danke]

Chilly and rainy today, Thanks a lot Oyarde, I had projects to do outside today.
