    Some good stuff happening

    Started to open the tent shelter side panels this afternoon but the rains came and we had to stop. Did get the KF covered though. We're supposed to have rain every day for the next week which is contrary to what we usually have in May. Will try to get the panels opened when the weather...

    Forgot to post these pix of the boy after we completed working on the 14th. He's wanting to go fishing! :D

    Some good stuff happening

    Got more stuff done today, including working on boat stuff! :D We swapped the trailer jacks around on all 3 boats. The one which had been on the Chieftain was bad and needed to be replaced. Instead of buying a new one I switched them around. The one on the donor boat had previously been on...

    Some good stuff happening

    Got the concrete blocks from the old garden plot moved this morning. Was so good to feel that I had the strength again to do that. Just 3 weeks ago I couldn't even pick one up by myself. Today the boy and I got all 14 of the blocks into the tractor trailer and moved. The boy picked up the...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Project boat already stripped and ready for reassembly. Rivets included. $450. I'd be tempted myself but simply can't justify another project. Not without frying pan prints upside my haid! :laugh: 18' with clear title... a rarity here in Florida! :lol...

    This is my place as seen on Google Earth. Wish I still had my drone so that I could take some aerial footage. The yellow outlines show some of the trees/shrubs which have been removed. More were removed at the bottom of the picture but I don't know exactly which ones so I didn't circle those...

    Some good stuff happening

    The last few days have been interesting to say the least. A couple days ago we loaded the leftovers from the burn pile into the back of my truck to take them to the dump. Wasn't enough there to fuss with burning it again. So off we went. Didn't make it in time as the dump had closed 7...

    Some good stuff happening

    Went out to see how much stuff was left in the burn pile that needed to go to the dump. It was still smoldering! The boy immediately jumped into action with the garden hose and found every remaining hot spot and put them out. He would make a great Fire Chief someday. :joyous: Some...

    Yep, it's pretty nice. And I'm glad to finally be able to work outside again after all my health issues over the last 7 - 8 months. (I was in the ER again 4 days ago but I'm okay). My lot was raw land when I bought it almost 10 years ago and I've made huge improvements to it during that time...

    Forgot to post this pic. My neighbor's horses could have cared less about my fleet and all the activities in the back yard. :lol:

    Some good stuff happening

    And this is how it looks this morning. I'm very pleased with the yard progress. Gonna be a lot easier to move the boats around once we're all done. And having a level place to work on them in a pull-thru shelter is a huge bonus compared to last year. Huuuge! :laugh: I'd doused the fire...

    Got the burn pile going again today. The pile was 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and 8 or 9 feet tall when we started. I spent 11 hours out there tending the fire. My buddy was there with his tractors for about 1/2 that time and my stepson was with me for 8 hours as well. They did most of the...

    A big storm rolled through the area this morning and blew the splash well right out of the Chieftain! :eek:

    Jeez, a guy moves the Kingfisher for a couple days and in the blink of an eye, somebody commandeers the tent shelter! :lol:

    Moved the fleet around last night so that we can have tractor maneuvering room when we ignite the remaining burn pile this weekend. Got some pix this morning.

    Some good stuff happening

    Well, we completed one more task today that needed to be finished so that I can continue heading back towards working on boats again. My wife got another car today. A compact SUV... bigger and stronger than her last little car. I'll be working on the yard again soon, clearing space to move...

    Some good stuff happening

    Made some excellent progress today! Got the burn permit and then started the blaze going. Burned up two large piles plus quite a bit from the "back 40" to boot. Still have one pile to do next weekend (weather permitting) as well as a little more from the back. My buddy put both of his...

    A few pix from today showing that the tree island is completely gone and the holes are filled. Man, that excavator was really powerful and amazingly efficient. We ran that machine hard for 8 solid hours (on the hour meter) and it only used 6 gallons of diesel! Speaking of running the...

    Here are the pix and video of the yard work compiled. I took 85 pictures and recorded over 35 minutes of video! Took awhile to parse it all down to something more manageable.
