Nope, just thought it was going to be easier to transport in her jeep than my pickup. Read up on some of the history, I really want to date it. It sounds like a neat company.
 
Not too bad. A buddy and I went and canned green beans. Got I believe 103 quarts and 24 pints. And 24 quarts of potatoes. Traded some fresh beans to a last there for a couple quarts of apple butter than she was making while we were there.

Greg, that is the exact one I had. My mom has it again it was hers in the first place.
Does yours have the ink well in the top left drawer?
 
Nature is kinda weird. I have been watching the wildlife around here for the past few weeks.
Did you know that squirrels play grab azz? Well, they do.
They also chase baby rabbits, until Grandma rabbit has enuf of their chit & jumps in to chase them off.
There are ground hogs galore, and the hawks swoop down & try to catch them.
I wish they were more successful.

There are Goldfinches around here that are eating thistle weed seed heads like it's a t-bone steak.
All in all, it's pretty entertaining to see nature doing it's thing.

Take some time & watch nature in action.
You'd be amazed. You really would.

Thanks for reading my friends.
 
Today was a maintenance day, started out with mowing the lawn. Then worked the rest of the day cleaning of the workbench in the garage. Also hung the wheelbarrow back up in the rafters as I won't be needing it for awhile and it takes up a lot of space on the ground.
What a mess!

And now I can see the top of the work bench. I think I need another toolbox for hammers and stuff thats left on the bench.

It was a productive day, threw a lot of crap out and found a bunch of tools that where buried on the bench. I put a lot of stuff away.

Since I can now actually move around in the garage a bit a ran a circuit of electrical outlets on the wall over the work bench. I still have to run a lighting circuit. I'm slowly getting there. Nice to work in the garage without sweating! 60s here today and beautiful. I went from two 15 amp lines in the garage to a full 100 amp panel. I can now run my 220 air compressor and a welder, have separate lights and outlets. Finally!

Visiting great friends in Florida to use up some plane tickets. Also got to do a window visit with Denise’s dad and an in person visit today. But we also did a fishing trip and I ended the day on a great snook. Great time!! Just glad Denise got to see her dad.

That’s what I have heard. He would have made the slot limit if the season were open...... couldn’t believe I got him though. I wasn’t catching very well yesterday....not that I ever do
 
I had a very tiring day. I am in the field helping with a university course and giving a lecture to a group of students. I will be out the whole week. However my girlfriend just told me that I got something in the mail.

Yesterday after work I pulled the wire for the lighting circuit in the garage. Now all I have to do is wire up the outlets and switch. Calling today to order the concrete for the patio pour on saturday.
 
Got home today from our third, and final, camping trip of the year. In 3 trips we've camped 17 nights since our first trip at the end of July.

With our new trailer for hauling camping gear, our plan is to always have it loaded and ready to go so that, if we are going camping, all we have to do is pack food, clothes, and a few other odds and ends, hook up the trailer, and go. That will make it easier if we have, say, a couple night where we could sneak away. Between now and our first trip of 2021 I have some additions I am planning for the trailer.

After breaking down camp this morning, driving three hours home, and unloading, I'm beat. We had a good trip and are sad that this was our last trip for the year.

Having done 17 nights camping this year, our goal is 20 next year. Though I'd love it if we could hit 25 nights.

If you guys think about it, next time you see a nurse or Dr., please thank them for the job they are doing to keep us well & safe.
One of my neighbors is a nurse, and she's had to move into a hotel close to her job so she doesn't bring home the corona virus to her family.
She's working 16-18 hour days, and hasn't seen her family in almost a month.
She is worried sick over this crap, and she needs a break. I thanked her when I spoke to her not long ago, and she broke down in tears.

She told me it's the thought that counts.
Please keep these people in your prayers.
Thanks for reading guys.
