Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

[Senile_Texas_Aggie]

Today it is a bit cooler and overcast, but we did not work on the brush pile. My Beautiful Gal overworked her back a bit, and I had an appointment to get my F350 serviced and address a safety recall -- engine block heater can overheat and cause a fire. Since I have yet to use the engine block heater, then it didn't affect me, but if I ever were to move up where Mr. @Bruce or Miss @RollingAcres or Miss @misfitmorgan reside, I would most likely need it.

I finally remembered to take pictures this morning before going to the Ford place. The first picture is of the brush pile looking southwest. The chipped wood pile in the foreground is from the powerline company from last year after they trimmed a lot of the trees. The second picture is of the brush pile looking southeast.


The third picture is of the first day of chipping. We didn't get far before I jammed the tree in the chipper and then broke the breakover bar trying to loosen the welded nut. Dummy me started chipping where we were in full sun. We moved the next day.


The fourth picture is the pile after I was smart enough to get in the shade. This is 2 days of chipping:


We hope to start back chipping tomorrow. The weather looks nicer (cooler) for the next few days:

Looks like you'll have some nice nights to cool the house down without running the A/C.

I'm guessing the likelihood of you moving to somewhere you would ever plug it in approaches 0% ... from below. But I'd welcome you if you did.

I hope your Beautiful Gal's back ease up for her. STA, you worked her too hard!

Thanks, Mr. Bruce! I'd be thrilled to have you and Miss RollingAcres as neighbors! If it continues to get hotter each summer, moving up north sounds better and better. Had we found what we were looking for back in early 2018 in Cheyenne, WY, at a price we could afford, we'd be living there now!

I agree, Miss RollingAcres! Yesterday, she did the pulling out of the trees and branches from the brush pile while I fed the chipper. I have done both jobs and the pulling out of the trees and branches is a lot harder, thanks to there being so many vines that are tangled around them. I will try to do that job tomorrow and let my Beautiful Gal feed the chipper!

She probably won't cram the big pieces in when it is running full speed


Cheyenne huh? I guess you aren't as allergic to cold as I thought. If it keeps getting hotter, I'm betting DW will push for a move north. And given our current location, that would be Canada.

Now now you have that tiny peice of New Hampshire and all of Maine before you resort to Canada.....or move out west....much colder winters in places like Montana.

3 months of summer and 9 months of winter? No thanks! I'll keep my 11 months, 29 days of summer and 1 day of winter!

Ok, y'all are gonna laugh, but we use the block heater on DH's 2004 F250 diesel truck. He likes it because he doesn't have to wait for the heater to warm up.

You can move to Alaska.
