We went to the farmer’s market this morning and bought bread and watermelon. From there we walked to the little park area by the school where Luke met a big ducky and then got to play in the water. We had no idea that was a feature, having walked by there dozens of times previously. Now we can’t wait to go back!
I cut some of the logs into shorter pieces that will fit into the wood stove. Then I loaded up the trailer and hauled them home. It was good to see Liz and Luke. Not so much the third L, Lilly.
I won another military trailer at auction, and today was the day to go get it. Unfortunately it was down in Albany, Georgia. I left just after 7am and took a mix of interstates and highways to get there. The drive was nice even though it took about six hours. There were some issues with the trailer, but eventually things got sorted and I made the even longer drive back. This time I avoided the interstates. The trailer was big and heavy but towed well. I got tired on the way home and also pretty hungry.
I cut down the last of the trees today, which went well, and hauled more brush to the dump. Both saws are running strong, although I do need to sharpen the chains. I had dinner at the Goat Market – cheese pizza, which was delicious. I haven’t gone out and taken any pictures yet this week. Not sure if I will, maybe next week though.
I started clearing the building site on the lot today myself. The weather is perfect for this sort of work and I had a lot of fun. I did get pretty chafed and sore though, and got bit by a couple of yellow jackets. The trees all came down pretty easily. There are a few more left to cut, but only one of any size. I took about five loads of branches to the dump. My army trailer is working great, but I sure wish that it was a dump model. I now have a bunch of eight foot firewood logs. I will try to cut them up and haul them before the excavator comes. If not I will ask him to just stack them off to the side.
