Well........ Fri, Sat & Sun(½day) the ole Wood-Mizer was cutting 3553 board feet of Red Pine into Adirondack Siding, and 1x8 lumber.

Today We're taking the day off from anything like work.
We're going out to breakfast, then going by the pool place to pick up another jug of chlorine for the pool and it should be ready for the summer.
Oh, almost forgot, then a cook-out at our place with my FIL & MIL.

  We're staying around the house weekend, worked in the garden a little, mowed some grass, and worked on the Warden's swimming pool ( hole in the ground you pour money into). This morning I'm waiting on a call from the car shipping co. that's bringing my son's car from West Texas. He's coming home from 6 yrs. in the USAF Wednesday. Since I had no idea what shape it was in I decided to ship it home and get him a plane ticket. Easier for everyone. We'll probably grill some burgers this afternoon after the car gets here. Wish everyone a happy holiday!

I decided to cut/split firewood this morning.  Thankfully I finished by noon.  It got HOT!!!

Cut hay, applied ammonia, sprayed, and looked without success for somewhere dry enough to plant this confounded crop. ::)  Finished up the day with a small thundershower,  :( and a cookout for my grand daughter's birthday. 8)
Chris, Faron'skid, and part of the grandkids attended a memorial service this morning. Mad Dog didn't quite have a handle on what was going to happen.   When he saw the Vets with their rifles, he asked where the bad guy army would be. :D  I guess he thought he was there to witness a shootout. :D

We left Thursday morning for Bro. Noble's and got back tonight at 8PM with a D13000 Cat engine and a 60" Simmonds saw.  That was one heavy load.  We stopped at the Gateway arch in St. Louis and Meramac Caverns on our way out.  Had a nice visit at Noble's.  Wish we had more time but they were making hay and I had a wheel bearing to tighten on the trailer and wanted to get back to a cooler climate  ;D 8)  It was 68 degrees here when we got home.  I thought I was going to need a jacket after the last five days  :)  We've got to make one more trip this fall to get the husk, blower, log turner and rollers.  I was going to put more on this load and am glad I didn't.

Spent most of the weekend bush hogging in my pasture. Hot as blazes all weekend ...95/97 degrees each day. Made some headway but tons left to go. Saw a couple big deer while I was out there. Got ate up by chiggers. Came in and hopped on the Forum in between mowing sessions. It gives me a chance to cool down before going back out. That's about it. Oh ...kind of an anniversary for my wife and I. We met 9 years ago this weekend at a bbq with mutual friends in WI. Seems like yesterday.  ;D

I was finishing soybean planting on my brothers farm .  He had a heartattack so he was of little help  or we would have been done sooner .   I got to listen to both races while planting .  Had to stop several times to move the Kildeer chicks out of the way .  But that was the only thing I had to stop for .    Monday I blew all the dust off the tractor and cleaned the radiator on the mower .   Had planned on tilling the rest of the garden and putting in rest of the garden but up came a small shower.  After a few hours and 2.5 in of rain  I changed my mind and made up flashing for the porch roof.
