    Here in North-Central Pennsylvania the leaves are usually in full color by Columbus Day. This year only about of a quarter of the species are even starting to turn colors.

    So, what did you do today?

    95 degrees out today and I finally decided to dig up a 550 gallon diesel tank on one of my properties that I haven’t used since the late 1970’s. I dug a little ramp on one side but since it was tight against the foundation of one of the outbuildings a lot of hand shoveling was involved. It...

    Potential Disaster

    Getting ready to haul some equipment next week and was getting ready to switch to my 2 5/16 hitch and gave the receiver a quick look over while I was down there. Saw a real ugly looking bunch of rust and pushed on it with my thumb and ended up with this. New hitch should be here tomorrow and...

    I will never change my own oil again.

    For the first time in my life I paid to have my oil and filter done. I was shopping at "the big box store" and just noticed the price sign in the automotive section for oil changes and out of curiosity asked how much for my Duramax as the change oil light had come on that morning. Found out...

    How to Visit a Bunch of States in a Few Days

    Weatherman's April Fool joke.

    Went to bed last night when news was calling for a dusting to one inch on untreated surfaces. Woke up to this.

    Somebody please explain nascar

    This is what stock cars should look like; As a teenager I did grub work in this drivers shop for free on the first two cars. When a new owner stepped in and they built the number 61 in a shop farther away from my home and I started college. The 61 was his first Winston Cup Car.

    Does it look like this. They are called burls and carvers and wood turners like to use them for their grain appearance.

    I am curious?

    I follow the markets and watch financial news several hours a day. In the last months I have heard crypto-currencies explained by a dozen different economists and still don't really understand it completely. I do know that the IRS has ruled that bitcoins are property not currency and thus...

    Did I mention I hate log homes

    Blasting with ground corn cobs media is what I have seen used when the surface is really bad. Have seen some homes that were almost black brought back to life with that process. I use Perma-Chink products and have been more than happy with them on my home. I love my log home!

    My Latest Snake Story

    A couple of days ago I left my skidsteer sit down besides my woodshed. The next morning I go down, start it and proceed to go down my lane to where I had some wood split ready to bring back to the shed. Out of the corner of my eye I catch something hanging down from the overhead. I think it...

    Gardening

    Notice the electric fence around my garden this year. Our first planting of cabbage and Brusselsprouts disappeared and were found shredded all around the garden. Even though we are in the center of 25 acres of woods and have lots of deer around they have never bothered the garden before. We...
