Is it Friday yet? I am looking forward to some warmer weather. It can't come soon enough.

I feel the same way. It's tough to be teased by nice weather and then jump back to cold. But, just like winter this year, it is nice to gradually work in to the next season instead of going straight from cold to hot.

Dogs are whipped out. They helped catch 4 chickens and one of our turkeys.





Got this on the stand. Hopefully assembly starts this weekend





And finally got my ironhead from storage. She needs work too.

So many projects not enough time

Morning


Went to the farm supply place in Glastonbury yesterday and picked up some grass seed for our campground area. They told me to wait a week or two before spreading it.


I was watching the weather and southern MN going to get snow tomorrow.


I wanted to ask Justin if there was a day of the week that they delivered diesel to the Bristol gas station on Middle St.? Just asking so I can avoid that day to let the tanks settle. Note they are still about 10 cents cheaper than here in Newington.

Good morning everyone!

A bit of snow south of us, but we shouldn't get much of anything up here. The Cities are getting 1-3", and this happens to be on a day where I'll be down there with work. Hope it doesn't screw up traffic too much.

First of all that worry is mostly nonsense. Second that station is of such high volume that it wouldn't settle if it were a problem. But to answer the question the fuel is delivered on demand. The stations call the dispatchers everyday with the volumes in the tanks. That station averages 3-4 loads of diesel each week and a load of gasoline every day.

Thanks Justin, not to be concerned then.

Morning


It's getting to that time of the year when the gear heads start there projects. Looking forward to the rebuilds. Sad that this is the real entertainment of an old guy. Scraped knuckles and broken taps. lol


Went to campground and brought 6 tubs of stuff. To much stuff. Emptied 4 tubs. Then started raking site. Got most of it done, just some in front then have to get rid of pile leaves, sticks, and dead grass. Went home tired and sweaty.


Took the dogs out at 3:33 this morning and it was pretty warm out there. I hear we are going to have a overcast day with a few showers.
