Working views

 I took a couple of pictures of where I have been working the last few days.

 It is right in the corner of Rockcastle, Jackson and Madison counties

It is a very pretty area.

Truck is repaired

 After smacking another deer (#4) and smashing the driver's side headlight on my way to work last week, the new headlight came yesterday. I got it put in this morning after I finished fixing Heather's truck headlights. Her adjusters had broken and the lights were crossed.

There wasn't much room to get the fasteners put in, but there was enough. Here's to hoping I don't hit any more of them!

Freezer is back to full

I got a call yesterday afternoon that the steer was done, so I went up this morning to pick it up. We got 8 flats out of Zeke to refill the freezer.

Escort being escorted

Heather's car blew up a little over a week ago. We got it back home yesterday with the help of Lisa and Jim's flatbed trailer. After it gets completely cleared out, we will find it a new home. Heather is looking at a replacement for it. We stopped to test drive it yesterday.

Window replacement

 After the very unexpected gift of a whole weekend off with no rain, Heather and I jumped at the opportunity to get her window swapped out. 

 After a couple of hours of digging, unscrewing,  prying and pulling staples out, we had the old window out and moved out of the way.

We had to make a trip to the hardware store and Lowes for a few supplies to make the opening slightly smaller to fit the new window. We were all finished and cleaned up before 4, so we are getting a little quicker with each one we do. With the new window out of the way, I also have a bit more room in the shed.

Happy Labor Day

 It's been a while, but I finally got back up to the lake for a little while today. It was busy, as expected.

 But if you look a little bit, you can usually find a quieter spot. The cove I usually go to had two huge houseboats anchored in it, so I moved on a little further to the north end of the lake.

There was a fair amount of boat traffic, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. There were still boats coming in as I was leaving. A beautiful day to be out on the water!

Burn pile didn't

 I went out early this morning to light the burn pile. We need to get it done before the horses come back in a couple weeks.

And this is about all that would burn. This is the scrap lumber I tossed on to help get it lit. I know the rain earlier in the week didn't help, as well as the heavy dew we got this morning, but I really did expect more than I got to burn. I guess we'll have to try again.
