Well hello all.
Been pretty much a survival month. We had snow, a blackout, the generator wouldnt start, the roof collapsed on our water pump shed, the pellet stove stopped working, the electric gate stopped working, the dump trailer was overflowing.....…you know, one of those months where you swear a lot.
But i stayed on top of it all, kind of, and now everythings back to running like a finely tuned machine. Sort of.
So having disposed of all that, i was on pothole patrol today. We have a mile long dirt gravel dirt and gravel driveway that needs maintenance now and then or it develops serious potholes which fill with muddy water and splash the sides of the car.
This involves putting a scoop of gravel from my gravel pile with my tractor into the back of my Polaris Ranger, then driving down to the potholes and shoveling the gravel into the pothole. Then on to the next pothole. And the next. Repeat as necessary, about 6 times.
My house: its not just a house, its an adventure.
So what are you working on?
