Nowhere close but it is an easy to binge watch. We only have the TV on probably a couple hours a night and we are getting ready to watch the last episode.

Replacing a fence can be as much a pain as putting it up to start with. We are replacing almost 100' of fence plus the hot wire starting tomorrow. We got all of the damaged fence taken down and rain a roll of electric netting just to have more than one layer of fence between the outside and the ewes. There was a 10' gate there but rather than have to dig a hole to China to get that post out, we went and got a 12' gate to replace it with. Of course I have been finding a lot of rock there and after pounding with a rock bar for about 30 minutes, I am almost 2' down.

Neither one of us felt like cooking dinner by the time we quit for the day which is why we keep some prepared meals from the friendly Schwan truck. They are restaurant quality and ready to heat and serve. We had their enchilada casserole for the first time tonight and it was super.

Rocks, gotta live with them.

I don’t. Neener neener neener!

I had a rock here once. Thought it was a goat turd at first... but nope...it was a little brown rock.

That will make me feel good when I start whacking at them tomorrow.

I hope rock whacking goes better today. I just can't imagine dealing with that. Tree roots are about the worst we deal with when digging a post hole...

Enlist the help of Mel, he sure can dig a crater

23 pounds doesn't seem like a lot of weight until you hit the one hour point of whacking at rock with the rock bar.

I had to come in for some water and to let my heart rate get back to normal but I'm ready to set that post if the rain stays away.
