Good morning Alabama, John, Rod and Buck.. We had an all-night rain, sometimes strong and rather windy.. work was on the damp side most of the night.. That did give me a chance to catch my delinquent required computer crap.. one more night, then off for a day.. they are supposed to get cut trees tomorrow..

Right now it is sunny and warm for the most part..

Fantastic Friday Alabama, Steve, John, Buck and all the crew.
In my woods we had another rain overnight and that made about 2" of needed rain. No fires near me thanks to the rain.
Mild start to the day at 50°, heavy gray overcast, and it will last all day with a high of 52°. Pretty much they say we will start the downhill too COLD from here on out!

Well, it is the Weekend Eve and time to get the Party started!

So far I've only been working on the one side, hopefully tomorrow things will go a little quicker. Do you have many days to rest up..?

Sensational Saturday Alabama, Steeve, John, Buck and all the crew. Cool start at 46°, headed to about 58° and maybe a little sun today.

John, have a good shop day and get the other mirror mounted!

Steve, don't wrestle them trees too much. Let the younger crew do the fighting! LOL

I hope everyone has a great and blessed day.

Afternoon Steve, and the same here but I haven't seen the promised sun. 52° out and carrying feed to the side by side to go to the barn, I got a little warm!

Back in the last 5 years on the Ambulance, I work a 2 week cycle or 14 days a month. they were 10 hours. I really liked that shift schedule.

I forgot that the last 3 years at the Sammich Factory, I worked four 10's Monday through Thursday!
AND, I was wrong on the previous 14 day work schedule. I worked 12 hour shifts 1000 to 2200! 36 hrs one week and 48 the next and with the 8 hours built in OT, it was greater then 40 and 40!
Lord, I am getting old, that has been 15 years ago this December 31!
Every other weekend was a 3 day weekend!
