Not into it
I was planning to go to Santa Rosa today to the AAA to take care of the paper work on my newer car, but when I got it going I wasn’t really into it. I put it off and thought I might do it later in the day.
Instead I was out chair hopping around the yard when I noticed one of my cherry trees actually had a bunch of green cherries on it, many more cherries than I’ve had before on any of my cherry trees. Maybe there’ll be lots of cherries this year.
Mulch
So anyway, I decided to put some more mulch on the cherry trees so I hauled about six loads of woodchips to the trees and dumped them.
Still not into it
I finally decided to not go to the city to do the newer car paperwork today as I just wasn’t into it.
Forest work instead
Instead I got some fuel for the dozer and some parts to fix the exhaust pipe a tree broke off the other day and rode on up into the hills where the dozer was parked and put the fuel in the dozer.
Big slugs
I noticed these big banana slugs where out and about today. I saw about six of them near the dozer.
Exhaust pipe repair
A tree I was pushing tore the exhaust pipe off the other day breaking the bracket that held it on. I brought the clamp up to repair it and put it on to hold the pipe in place.
That’s the bracket that got broken and the new clamp I put on it to fix it.
Tree work on my cousin’s place
I wasn’t planning to do any dozer work today, but instead I rode the quad runner over to my cousin’s place to remove some downed trees off her roads.
This was the first tree I removed.
It seemed there were more trees across the roads than I thought. I cleared these ones.
And this one, by now I’m getting tired out.
I thought this was the last one, but I was wrong.
I rode on up this road thinking I was done. I was tired out and headed for home.
Then I ran into these trees, so I stopped and cut them off the road and then headed for home.
Brother’s potato patch
I stopped at my brother’s garden to see what he’s been doing there. He just planted this plot in potatoes to sell at the farmer’s markets. He grows a lot of potatoes for the markets and is known as the potato guy.
Nap time
I made it home for a much needed nap.
Finish up the day
Later I went back outside and chair hopped around the yard with the chickens.
This was my view about an hour before the sun went down over the hills.
Nice day.
