Latestarter - you need an Aussie or Border Collie to talk to. They will stare at you as long as you talk to them.

We load up another U-Haul on Wednesday with our household goods/furniture. We have a safe that weighs 650 lbs that my little bitty wife and I last moved when I was years younger so we shall see how we have maintained.

Be careful of those backs... Hurt mine in 87 and have never been the same since.

We haven't made any progress on our little farm but a couple of major milestones have been reached. The owner of the company I work for was in town yesterday and i gave him notice that I would be leaving the company at the end of the month. We talked about a couple of things to help the transition so I will likely be coming back a couple of times as a consultant. That works since the family is still in Charleston.

We closed on our home sale Monday afternoon so that is the last hurdle holding us here.

We have been home for a week now and my wonderful wife has even acted like she was enjoying unpacking boxes. I'm staying out of her way and working on the outside.

My neighbor and I have been working on clearing out the overgrown property line and pulling all of the old barbed wire fence. We are hoping to get no climb horse fence on that section since he is getting a couple of horses and our dairy goats will be kept in that paddock on our side.

There is a 15x20 shelter that is currently open on both ends that I'm going to partially close up but leave enough room to be able to get the front end loader bucket inside.

There was so many briars and small saplings there that just laughed at my weed trimmer. We bought one of those attachments that is basically a saw blade and it really helped finish the stuff that the trimmer could not.
