Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Got a couple holes in the tin on this one....will get it fixed this weekend. Dirt floor & not an issue for them, roost, etc. Minor but, want to fix. Some of the things that come with recycling, right Bay?

Better get to bed. Morning comes early and a long day of work coming with it. Wonder where you can get "beauty" sleep???

Yes, a tube of black asphalt roofing pitch will seal up those holes nicely. No drips on the girls! LOL

Beauty sleep? Durned if I know where you can get any, but if you ever find it, we could bottle it and make a fortune! LOL LOL

Thanks for the coffee PA. It's 56 degrees this morning, got to get out at daylight and get chores done. Neighbor Ron is coming over to help butcher the old laying hens, I'm sending them home with him. I gave him 5 of the Cornish Cross Chicks I had, we'll be doing those soon too. I guess I need to get over there and look at them to see if they are ready. Might do them Friday.

Vacations over. Back to reality. Beautiful weather for starting fall cleanups though. Which means it's also beautiful riding weather dang it.

You'll have to change jobs if you don't want a "good riding weather" conflict with "good working weather"!

Morning comes early and a long day of work coming with it.

Especially when you post at 2 AM!

Yeah, unless I can get some "sponsors" .
This time of year when the weather is fine you can hear the riding clock tick tocking away. It's almost a desperation! My friend/neighbor/riding buddy talked me into ditching Friday for a good long ride in a new place.
Guess I'll be working in the rain eventually, haha.

If you have that option you DO have the ability to ride without quitting your job

Oh it's definitely an option. I used to do it all the time when I had 18 accounts. It was a necessity back then. Now that I have far fewer accounts I am more picky about the weather conditions, but if you play you pay right?

Yep. Part of the odd sleep patterns I tried to tell Bay about! But went to bed and slept well until alarm at 6. Chores and at work in a store at 9....to second store and home about 5:30. Logged in 14 hr of job assignments, which were completed in less time but I get all projected hrs they set per job. Took me 8 hrs plus travel, which pays hrly rate and mileage amounts. I'm pretty fast for an old gal! plus OT for over 10...it was a good day!

Chores tonight. Packaged eggs for DD to take to customers at work tomorrow. Ate, catching up with everyone and will get to bed about 10:30. Will sleep well tonight!!! Back up about 6 for similar day tomorrow. Fri is about half a day then off for weekend. Mon & Tue work, then off until following Mon. unless someone else can't get jobs completed and I agree to sub. Not likely I will --- I have these porch posts & railings to paint! It will give me a break. Our work is sporadic and somewhat seasonal. Usually very slow Nov to Feb. Used to be very busy in winter with food demos -- CV19 has stopped that.

May get back into gear with sewing this winter. Used to make a lot of clothes, household items, animal blankets, stuffed toys, needlepoint, quilting -- you name! I have boxes of fabrics. It's a pattern with sewers. You buy just because you like the fabric...thinking you will sew it up.

I used to do a lot of sewing. I even had an upholstery business. At one time I had 2 commercial machines and 4 home sewing machines. I still have 1 commercial machine and a couple of home machines-old ones. I enjoyed redoing antiques and making them beautiful again.

I have boxes of fabric too.... waiting for the "time" to get to it.... hoping that happens here once I get moved and settled in here.... We'll see...My sewing machine is older too.... mostly now I do alot of patches on jeans and fixing seams and stuff....

 

[thistlebloom]

My machine is a 43 year old Singer. Dh gave it to me the Christmas before we got married . I used to make him a lot of shirts. It still runs perfect, but it should, it's been resting up for a number of years now. Just do the odd little sewing project now and then.

Coffee is ready. Neighbor Ron is bringing his 5 Cornish Cross over this morning. We’ll get them on ice for him to take home. He’s going to help me butcher 5 more that go to Neighbor Russell. Russell is coming over Saturday morning before he hits the hay field and we’ll butcher his other 5. Today is a chicken day.
