    Got up to 35 out there. Sun is out. Temps will come up a bit more today. There is a light breeze out there so far... but not the strong breeze like yesterday. But that could change. We also have a burning ban for the hunting season... because it takes only a day or 2 of this breezy weather...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I like the idea of a compound, razor wire and electrified to fry them... They could always have an accident during hunting season... unmarked unknown no serial number never to be found rifle... I am not a nice person.... no more give in me for people like that. Yeah, hungry pigs do one he// of...

    Little bit of change today, but that was okay. DS spent the day in the tractor, and I spent 2/3 of the day with the water hose... Added water as they dumped each load... it is a little drier than we would have liked... but the lower field was greener and it went on top so some of the moisture...

    Monday late night. Been busy 2 days. COLD today... sunny but windy... 46 up to 62... compared to the balmy 77 yesterday it felt like "frigid" ... but that is because the wind was going right through you. Sunday I got things in the car for work... Got on the tractor and moved it to doug's...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    By the way, wells around here are 50 yrs old and older... easy.... and no one is drilling new wells unless theirs goes dry... and some are actually sinking their current well deeper...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Explain why .... if the testing people pulled the pipe out of the storage tank... and it ran clear... that you don't go on and replace the storage tank? How big is the storage tank? OR why can't it be cleaned out? If there is iron in the well, there will "dollars to donuts", also be iron...

    Not advisable to do a long trip like that after the knee replacements...NON-STOP...... Only been what, 3-4 months????
