CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[CntryBoy777]

Today turned out to be an okay day. It did start out fairly Chilly...it got down to 30 last night and up to 58 this afternoon. There was a gusty wind that reinforced the Chill, but those post-hole diggers have a way of warming ya up some. Speaking of which I got 6 holes dug today, missed the window to get to town for more posts...but, just concentrated on getting holes done today and more tomorrow....there are 15 holes left to dig for the whole area. I am not looking forward to those last 12 tho, each one will have tree roots to contend with... but, getting it completed will give the surge to persevere thru. While out this morning I saw a fock of snow geese headed north, but about 15 mins later saw em heading back south...guess the "HeadWind" was a bit more than they cared to deal with.
I should be finished digging by tues and will get started setting them in sakrete. When that is done, there should be Help with the rest of it. I am soooo looking for That day!

You are tougher than I am - all I have done the last two days is cook, 4 racks of ribs yesterday and two pork shoulders today. I would post pictures but they would make you hungry.

I did go out this morning to do a few things but that wind ran me right back into the house.

Well, I sure would've taken a break to Enjoy some Ribs and Q!! Absolutely and positively my Favorite food.

We woke up to no heat. Our neighbor does commercial refrigeration, so he came over. A new breaker later, we were warm and toasty again.

Sure glad it didn't turn out to be too bad on the repair there Bay. People that have reached the "Spot in the Road" that we have really Need that warmth on a cool, brisk mornin.
I hope your project is coming along as ya planned it would. It is really looking nice...btw.

For all of your physical issues you sure are getting those holes dug fast! You have some of those Tylenol 650s on hand?

@Baymule A breaker? Wow, those don't usually go. Maybe they are quite old? Sure is nice to have your "HVAC guy" close by.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Naw Bruce, no tylenol here...just green BCs and if it needs a Booster there is demerol and valium depending on the direction I need to go...
Some days I just "Wonder behind the little Animals"...for those that are unfamiliar with that line, it comes from the song "Wildwood Flower".

Haven't worked on it the past few days..... had some other things to do. And yesterday we went to a movie. We went to see A Dog's Purpose. It was great, we enjoyed it.

@Bruce we bought a handful of new breakers. It seems that there are some GE breakers that aren't approved for mobile homes. So we got a bunch of Eaton breakers. It's all good! And yes, we are blessed to have such wonderful neighbors. Jimmy helps everyone in our tiny neighborhood with their AC/heat issues. pay for the parts and he does the work. Some people are not too well off and his help is a blessing. We paid him, he didn't want to take it, but he was a HUGE help to us today!

Here ya go- we had neighbors over for dinner and of course had way too much food but it was intentional. Whenever I smoke ribs I do at least 4 racks and freeze several meals for later. Same for today I did two pork shoulders and a bunch was eaten but plenty left for the freezer.

I can see now that a trip to Mid Tn will have to be worked into the "Agenda"....I suddenly need a Sheep fix...but will eat Pork while I enjoy watching them.
