One day I'll find a stump to make a table out of. This one has too much of a lean to it.
singular meaning without stopping for any reason
feel free to add what the flight was!
From London to Johannesburg, think it was 14 hours.
Monday Monday
- Work only sucked a little. I don't know if it is the heat or what but tempers are flaring at work, I don't like irrational behavior.
- Got home and made some jalapeno peppers and cheese curds for a snack.
- Rested for a bit.
- Then I got my chainsaw and this happened
Burn pile status
These were the other days mess I still have to get cut up and hauled
These look like fun?
♡ asks ♡
2. Do you drink tea or coffee? How do you take it?
15. What's your favorite season?
22. How much sleep did you get last night?
30. What are you looking forward to in the near future?
31. What are you looking forward to in the distant future?
2. Coffee! Black, stronger the better. Even when it is hot outside.
15. This is a tough one. I don't really mind the weather, except for when it rains and I want to be outside. I like storms though. I guess to answer this, properly, I'll say the living season.
22. I'm not sure when I went to sleep but I got up at 0130. I generally sleep between 6 to 7 hours. Last night I vaguely remember eating bread at some point.
30. Princess has a birthday coming up very soon and I have taken the day off just to be with her. I have plans, so I won't let you know until after as she reads my blog, we met here btw.
31. Getting my house built, where I plan to retire and live out my days.
Seven?
- Was groggy on way to work this am
- It is rather pleasant outside. Warm yes, but not stifling.
- I was thinking about doing some stuff outside. But as I relaxed after work, I fell asleep.
- I woke up and realized my muscles in my back and shoulders are sore. Sore as in weight lifting sore.
- Decided I'd take it easy today.
- There are 2 coworkers on my team that are going to get fired, I think.
- One of them has no schedule now, for the next 2 weeks.
- The coworker that was like depressed last week is taking the next 5 days off and was in a much better mood today.
- Tomorrow is my Friday! And I've got trees all over the ground
Front fields mowed, front yard run over again for sticker uppers, aka seed stalks.
Was walking in woods when I heard the rain advancing.
I guess I'm done for the day.
Ever had one of those days where everything just goes right? Yeah, I'm in a state of shock too.
Friday 5
- Truck was enormous, 3650 cases. It has been unloaded.
- Rain and storms last couple of days have stayed north and west of us.
- Might try to cut front fields this afternoon.
- Still got some trees to get on the ground.
- Need a new roof and front porch. So back in debt I go.
Yard trimmed
Fire poked on
Up next, go get gas for mower
Sky just got darker, apparently I slept through the rain.
Wind came up and fire is alive.
Blew down a dead sycamore, ought to be an interesting evening
Photo dump
Moi
Fire smoking
All that's left of canopy
All that's left of trunks
Fence I've been clearing to take down.
I got a bunch of privet and dead stuff out of here.
Just realized I forgot to bring in saw and lopping shears
Went to grocery store for "supplies" , that means snacks, forgot to get coffee, hangs head in shame.
Fire still very hot but not actively burning.
Severe thunderstorm watch.
Drinking adult beverages in aluminium cans.
Tomorrow is yard day, might burn until dew dries.
D'uh
- We just got a heat advisory. No shit sherlock.
- Progress is slow, not even steady, keep having to come in, because sweat keeps getting in my eyes.
- Fire is burning, kinda slow, but it is keeping pace with my clearing capabilities.
- I'm going to keep going for a bit.
I have apparently built nothing but a smoker. Actually I think it is too humid to have a fire.
I have done little things outside, pulled up some privet, gathered dead vines etc. So humid out I get drenched in sweat.
