Coffee is on.
Got started on bagging up the insulation...that's a nasty job. Didn't help it was 75 degrees outside... I only got 7 bags filled.
Had our first 4H tractor driving meeting. Put some ham and beans in the crock pot for supper when we got home about 8. Today it's a Mom meeting, dental appts then church night.

Thanks for the coffee PA. 7 bags filled is progress. Keep up the good work!


Pork chops sound good!
they are from our pig last year. I tell them not to trim away the fat, so they have about an inch of fat. I cut it, a little into the meat, one inch apart and spread it apart in the frying skillet. I use very little oil to start. The fat cooks out and gets almost crispy. We eat the rendered fat along with the lean meat of the pork chop. I wind up with a skillet of fat, so I make gravy and mix it with dog food.

Coffee, keep it coming. 😁 Gonna need the kick. Projects are piling up.

I want to till the garden but, this is where my efforts will go first!

Unloaded and will get to it asap. Hope the light rains either don't arrive this weekend or stay light. Those are 330' each, sheep & goat type. Got a few Xtra t-posts, in case. After home, realized they didn't throw the hooks in the truck....another trip now. Oh, well...only 6 miles.

Thanks for the coffee, on my second cup. Woke up before 2 AM, couldn't go back to sleep. Now if I can keep from conking out in a nap today......... maybe I can sleep tonight.
I use two wagons, love my wagons. Had a ruined tire on one, bearings blew out on one of the other wagon. We went to Harbor Freight yesterday and got me 2 new tires/wheels. Going to put them on this morning after chores.

Cleaning up the porch is on the list today. Need to draw up plans for chicken tractors and get PVC fittings to get them made. Chicks on the porch will be ready to put outside soon!

Good morning all, thanks for the coffee. Did some more day work yesterday but didn't cover near the distance as Mon. Ol' Mare is getting whipped into shape.
We eat the rendered fat along with the lean meat of the pork chop. I wind up with a skillet of fat, so I make gravy and mix it with dog food.
Sounds great EXCEPT next time I'll bring some bread to pour the gravy on. Fresh gravy is to good to feed to the dogs.
