A big work day is planned for today.
Mrs ERJ's minivan is back. It suffered from a split heater-hose. Wilder's Automotive was awesome. They slid it into their work-stack and got it done.
Southern Belle is collecting goats. I have been tasked with extending the enclosure to absorb the additional animals. Her vision is that the goats will kill the brush that chokes her property. My count of tree rings suggests that the property has been in free-fall for 13 years.
My job will be to drive fence posts and then hang the panels (2 hours). Southern Belle's job will be to add ties in the middle and bottom of the T post.
I also need to get out to the Hill Orchard and the Upper Orchard and carry water to the baby trees (2 hours). Then I need to mow (2 hours). Then I need to start breaking down some downed trees into 8' long bolts (maybe, depending on fatigue level). If I am smart, I will do the chainsaw work first while I am fresh. I can ride on a mower even if I am tired.
Random maps

| Another map. Maybe historic range? |

| OK, not a map. So sue me. |

| Deinosuchus, prehistoric beast. The skull is 6' long. From Texas, of course. |
Enjoy the water all you folks in Illinois and points south of there.
Goats can be a challenge to keep in pasture. They appear to love a challenge and will test where a possible escape is. They are very fun to watch, especially the young kids running about. Stay hydrated and be careful.

ReplyDeleteTimber Rattlesnakes have been found in the Adirondacks as well. Tho not as many, but they are on the move.
