April 30, 20188 yr comment_147998 More lawn and garden work this week, I'll probably mow for the first time this year.Eager to get this behind me so i can get back to the shop. That said, this morning I walked....and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. 40˚, very sunny, and the songbirds were just singing to beat the band. Wow. As an aside, a few years ago this would have been a 4 mile jog, but the aches and pains that come with age has reduced it to a 4 mile walk. Report
April 30, 20188 yr comment_148001 Monday..about says it all. Got to the point yesterday I could add a coat of stain to the fancy box of pine....WILD grain shows up. Shop is closed today, for a change...unless a saw gets rehabbed..need to get a few items from the stores, anyway. Maybe Spring has finally arrived, in Ohio? Report
April 30, 20188 yr comment_148002 Lock miter test flight today. Hopefully, no crash and burn. If not, it's assembly time. Report
April 30, 20188 yr comment_148004 Cut down what I hope is the last Ash tree. This one was in among some Pines and lasted the longest but the Emerald Ash borer finally did it in. Hoping to do the final clean up and cut the grass. Will sneak some turning time in when I can. Report

April 30, 20188 yr comment_148025 Weekend, normal stuff + some maintenance work on the L&G equipment...mowed fence rows, roadsides & ditches...enough to check out the mowers & jump start allergies. Coming week, normal stuff2...daughter is on her way to San Diego for 2018 Boys & Girls Club National Conference through Friday so lots of extra stuff getting kids to/from activities. Mowing, tilling, and other yard work the main attraction. Report
