It didn't start raining until I was on the back yard. I got both sides and the front done before it started raining, but we only had the seeder for a half day so I had to get it done right then.
And Mark I need to go buy an ice scraper and get some of the wiper fluid that's supposed to work to melt ice, etc cause we'll be getting frost here pretty soon. Getting condensation on the windows every morning now so it's only a matter of time before it freezes.
And speaking of sick: Go see a doctor, Lisa.

I call BS on this whole "apple a day" thing. I definitely eat the most apples when I'm working on the orchard in fall yet it never fails that I get sick at least once every fall. And outside of fall I'm rarely ever sick. Allergies yes, but sick no.
Probably doesn't help that I'm dealing with the general public sniffling and sneezing around me all day in fall though.

The apple a day thing is BS..for the most part. People who are healthy, and eat vegetables and fruit and plenty of protein have better immune systems, and get sick less, so that may be the relation.
Speaking of immune systems, that is where the Vitamin C and Zinc come in.
Btw...
I'M GOING TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.
geezz.
I gotta like, you know, make an appointment and stuff. That and I have a new job with new insurance so I gotta figure out 1) where I can go and 2) what my copay will be and all that. Whatever I have it is not life threatening.

Pics from today Pete. My truck, and my buddies Dodge. I know, I know, but it is nice.
EX 120 Hitachi, but you already knew that. I can play on the big toys just fine. Today we had the 120, the 121 Kubota, and a Bomag compactor, not sure what size but about 8' long or so.
Last load of the day. Total yards spread, compacted and graded today= 769yds, to be around 1200 tomorrow afternoon.

Hey Lisa, you said you like the more rustic decks? How about these.
Tight knot cedar with galv 4x4 grids.
Or the ever favorite, tight knot cedar decking, with tight knot rails and 2x2 pickets.
Here's a close up of those rafter tails for you that you liked. My own design, but not exactly patent material..lol

how 'bout big, hard, sexy and wet?
And it's actually wood this time, not composite.
