Thermometer on the side of the house says 50° the local airport is reporting 34°. Truth probably split the difference. Still white stuff coming down.

Finished the oil change on the tractor. Put chains on one side then came in for coffee.

Decided to brown a beef roast while I was in. Browned it in bacon grease from yesterday's breakfast on the wood stove. Then put it in the roasting pan back on the wood stove. Diced an onion and cut some carrots. Went back out put the other chain on and topped off the gas and hydrualic oil. Should be good to go when this weather passes. Maybe noon tomorrow?

Don't care. Cancelled out on a cookie exchange tomorrow. Maybe revisit that next weekend? I likes me some cookies! Well who doesn't?

Blew out the path to the wood shed filled the wood box. It just doesn't get much better. Time to eat!

We had snow and sleet mix that started around noon. It’s only lightly snowing now and we have at most 1/4 inch of it.

Scrounged up a couple wheelbarrow loads of balsam from behind the garage. It doesn’t last long but it’s dry.

Took down the 10-20 car port canvas today and covered the wood with a tarp. We are looking at a 2-3 day winter event, mix of snow and sleet, I figured this might take the car port canvas down and rip it. better safe than sorry. Tonight is in the low teens so it's a good excuse to toss some lunkers on the OWB.

Congrats on the Grouse Matt, I've been wanting to get one of them!

That looks like some easy fire wood for next year, no skidding necessary!

I was aiming at the head and hit the neck. Flipped it over for a pretty picture. The 6.5 first kill. If I had my shotgun instead of a rifle I bet I’d have more. I hit the mother load and had five flush. This was after getting this guy. Almost makes me want to make a trip just for the birds.

Uncle Mike, I figure I walked dang near 10 miles today. Made a round trip high and low all around the mountain. They have EVERY nice tree on “Tompkins Reality” that’s decent marked for timber. Next year that property is gonna look a LOT different. As you guys can see, we get some nice views up there. Took the selfie for one of my employees when the texted me asking if I was going in to work today. 29CC37AC-61C7-48DA-9368-062AE10D870B.jpeg7B2B82A9-DB74-4383-A2E6-B99FE2016C5E.jpeg283ACF37-473D-4980-80D7-46A5124F084D.jpeg7A00ADA7-C13C-43E9-BE61-D2CD435B3805.jpeg1BE04E12-A54A-41AD-8E66-605933B3C294.pngC5444834-826F-42C7-B93C-5E8EC933BF9D.jpeg
