Coffee anyone ?

We’re back, unloaded feed. BJ heated up pork chop leftovers while I put sheep on pasture and fed pigs. Now I have no ambition.

No, @Mini Horses , not being a wuss so much as being smart since you have a choice. Yeah, the ones in the SW and out western coast and even up into BC Canada... are in the 100-115 and they don't have a choice. Don't think they have as much humidity... but once you hit 95 + it is HOT.... period.

WOW, @Baymule that was a fast trip and a fast unload. But I am sure you wanted it done before it got too scorching hot.
I got up at 3:15, left at 3:45 a.m. and went to test. Just got home a little bit ago, got the samples in the house and am going to eat something and then get them packed. Get the few things off the truck I didn't get yet, and water the roses and the peonies because even thoug it is supposed to rain tomorrow, I haven't done them since before I left and don't want them to get too dry. They looked pretty decent yesterday, but it is just hot out there. Also need to water the lilac that my friends brought me in commemoration of my mom, because I am not sure where I want to plant it yet.

Took backhoe off and put bush hog on. That was a chore! . Then cut about 5 acres. Filled water, moved goats, etc....all the chores. I definitely got sun!! Evening chores and prepped all I could for morning. Back to work for the day tomorrow, a long day. Rains tomorrow night and Fri, so wanted fields done. The trash will dry in heat, Fri rain will revive the grass. Hot out there still.

Shower felt really good!! Now I need to eat. Drank a LOT of water today.

@Mini Horses ; More and more I want a small tractor with a bucket loader and a backhoe.... all of ours are big and we do not have a backhoe that is small enough to use conveniently.... then a small bush hog and a rear pto tiller.... Oh yeah, DS got a 5 ft PTO tiller from a buddy who buys and sells stuff.... but a nice smaller tractor to use here at the house. If I had my own tractor then I wouldn't have to listen to him or to WAIT around for him to do stuff. Although he has been a little more considerate about some things.... I just want to do it myself. And I could have gotten the garden space tilled a couple of times to at least get some potatoes and tomatoes in....

If I can just get the couple of old rolls of hay here in the next couple of days.... then I can back off .... but a backhoe to dig my own holes for the trees would be nice.....and to move these bushes I hate in the yard to the perimeter.... Just not sure I want the payments..... but I am looking.... if I got a package deal new... get the trailer with it and then have that to use for other stuff....dreaming wish list......

Furnace and is first.... fencing high on the list too.....

Hey; I saw an article that lumber prices are dropping... down 40% from the highs..... author of the article said they probably won't get back to pre-covid prices.... but dropping now is a good sign at least. They were just TOO HIGH.

@farmerjan the small tractor works well on these smaller properties! I even did a small job for a neighbor. Dug and recovered a trench. Couple hrs of good pay. you can work smaller corners

I still want a pinestraw rake and a 5 ft pto tiller. Then, I'm done almost. I can move the small hay rolls, 5-600#, not the monsters. But rarely those are even made close in, only brought in.

Leaving for "work" today.....y'all have a great day!

Coffee is ready. BJ always makes the coffee, it’s a man’s job. LOL He loads and unloads the dishwasher because according to his OCD tendencies, I do it wrong.
Low 90’s today, humidity is off the charts, chance of scattered showers.

Staying inside until the sun decides its done being burning hot. Went tsc for seeds and feed also ended up getting 51 chicks and 26 ducklings for a dollar each. Score! And dh was okay with it moohaha. 20ish are cornish, 9 are delewares and and 20ish buff orpingtons. The ducklings are a mixture of rouen, cambells and peckins.

Heck yeah! I’ve gotten some of those $1 deals. Once I bought 10 CCX for $10 and got 10 free! You made a great deal!

@Baymule you need to do more things wrong for his OCD.

@Jesusfreak101 that sure sounds like you are "cutting back" ... NOT... but great deal!
