Park kiosk

I noticed a guy was working on the state parks kiosk today as i drove on by. But it seems the holdup is they are waiting for the windows and doors to be made to the right measurements.

Road work

I had a little work on the old dirt road to do today, so I drove on up there using this road.

And on up through here.

Road work

I drove on up to where Skiddy was parked and started it up to warm up a bit.

I needed some rock on this spot where I covered up a ditch that crossed the road. I dumped this load of rock and went back up the hill to get one more load.

I smoothed out the rock and that was all I wanted to do on working on the old road today.

Visiting

With the work done, I decided to go see if a neighbor was at his property today, so I headed on over to his place where I found the main gate open. I found Cliff picking up trash on his property. He just got the property that’s been in the family for years and the previous family members left a lot of trash for him to clean up. I think there’s almost 20 old cars and trucks on the property that he wants to get rid of.

We had a good visit and I drove up to another neighbors who lives close by, but didn’t find anyone home.

It was starting to rain, so I headed for home and a nap.

Nice day.

Rainy day

Another rainy day with showers on and off all day long.It was too cold and wet when I got it going so I stayed in most of the day.

Beef

Since I was in most of the day, I decided it would be a good time to try and get in touch with a local rancher that rises beef to see about purchasing an animal for meat.

I was able to call him on  his cell phone, but we did have a problem getting disconnected often.

Eventually after about the third disconnect, I heard what I was looking for. Yes, he’ll sell me a cow and we were disconnected again. The guy was driving along the coast line so lost contact often. I was able to tell him I’d call him at home tonight and I did and got his email address. His animals won’t be ready until June as the spring grasses are just starting to grow faster. It’s a good thing I got that new freezer ordered up  yesterday.

Cell phone booster

I also worked on finding out  more about cell phone boosters for  my house as the cell phone signal here is really lousy. I barely have a signal here, so I need to find out more, but by the time I got around to finding out more, the workers in the East had gone home for the day.

With the daylight savings time just kicked in, I still had time to go for a ride to check out the old dirt road I’d been working on and the rains had slowed down a lot by then.

I knew the road was in good shape, so was mostly going out, just to get out for the day.

I did find this ditch crossing that I’d filled in was turning to mush and I’d have to fix it up soon bfore it got too bad.

Other than that, I found these sticks had falling on the road, so I stopped to throw them off the road.

I stopped by the pond to get a drink of spring water on the way home. The water there was a bit muddy as the ravens bathe and drink there in large numbers.

I made it home and tried to put the chickens away for the night but some of them didn’t want to go in for the night yet, which just reminded me that I hadn’t closed them in tonight so have to go out and take car of that.

Nice day.
