Beautiful boots!

I’ve done that flooded creek thing before. It knocked down the fence. There I was, leg threaded through stands of barbed wire,waist deep, tying onto fence posts so we could hopefully pull the fence back up, while BJ shouted instructions at me from the safety of the bank. I wanted to drown him.

we sure didn't need to add you to the "lives lost" list due to Hurricane Helene.

It seriously crossed my mind when I realized the bottom of that hole was a thatch of branches under 3'+ of water
Nobody would even have come looking for me until about 7:00 tonight.
Thankful that I was able to drop the water level & only got a sore butt & back.

I find myself having to be careful because I’m all alone and buzzards would find me first. I don’t like it. I’m used to being 10 feet tall and bulletproof—-with BJ behind me to pick up the pieces. It sucks.

Oops
I worked on the layout of my first few journal pages for a long time, then got going on some chores so I could Tetris those in to start those pages.... & now it's 3:00, I'm sleepy & only have 2hrs before I have to get ready for work.
Micro-nap is going to have to do for tonight's shift.

Lol!!!
I start training my supervisor tonight on running the Beamer.

Brought home 200lbs of pelleted pine bedding & threw them into the poop-soup surrounding Eva's hay feeder. I use this in my cat's litter boxes & it's pretty amazing how much the pellets expand. I'm hoping that it will: 1. Dry up the soup that poor Eva has to stand in to eat her hay. 2. Lighten the dense mat of manure & hay once she walks it in; making it a tiny bit easier to load in the wheel barrow for garden building. 3. Help the manure compost better.

Speaking of the wheel barrow..... I got a can of Flexseal Spray Rubberised Sealant & took a crack at sealing up those dry rotted tires. One seems to be holding pretty good so far. The other is probably going to need a 2nd coat.
Anybody have any tips to remove rubberized sealant from skin???
Probably should've worn gloves like the can said I should.

EDITED TO ADD: Soaked in warm water & scrubbed with salt. Worked pretty well.

Well, WD-40. Or put some oily skin cream on it...as it soakes into skin it should release. My guesses. what I'd do.

4am
Been up for hours.
2 cups of coffee & a bowl of the BEST Mac&cheese EVER and I'm soo ready to start work on building the garden.
Now just waiting on the sun.
