Wrong Wipers, Some Yard Work and a Ride in the Forest Before the Rains Hit

Sunday November 6, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Wiper install

I tried to put these new wipers on the van, but after fussing with them for some time, I discovered they didn’t have the right fittings on them for the van. Darn.wipers1

 

Chicken poop

I did something easier next. I got the wheelbarrow and shovel and loaded up with chicken manure. I only got one load from under their roost.manure2

 

I put some of it on my citrus trees.fertiizer3

 

And noticed one of the little trees had two fruits on it. These are mandarin trees I planted a couple years ago.fruit4

 

And I put the rest of the manure around this big avocado tree.tree4

 

Rat bait

I needed to smash two more cubes of the rodent bait so I did that and added it to the bait feeder.bait5

 

They are eating the smashed cubes, but not the whole cubes.bait7

 

And I picked up some of the tree trimmings I cut the other day from this plum tree. That tree has big thorns, like desert stuff has and it got me a little, just enough to draw a little blood.brush8

 

And then I put the water on the citrus trees to water in the chicken manure to get it started. I’ll let the ran finish the job.water9

 

I let the chickens out and did some chair hopping around the yard with them. These are my two roosters.rossters10

 

Ride in the forest

I wanted to go for a little dirt bike ride, but with the time change today, it was getting late, but I did make it for a couple hours just before dark.

I stopped here to go for a little hike to look around. Lots of fall leaves are on the ground which makes a nice carpet.bike11

 

Clouding up

It was getting ready to rain, but I was hoping it would hold off until I got home.view12

 

The black clouds were moving in on me.clouds13

 

I stopped here and walked out this trail and the rain held off.trail14

 

I made it home with time to spare before the rains started.

Nice day.

Drizzly Day, Pulaski Handle Repair and Fresh Caught Crab

Saturday November 5, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Drizzle

It was drizzling lightly when I got it going today, so it was mostly a stay in the house day. I should of done some house cleaning but I didn’t, not my favorite thing to do.

Pulaski handle replacement

I did want to get the new handle epoxied onto my Pulaski head. I didn’t quite get the right handle so I had to do some filing on the one I had to make it fit. I watched a YouTube video on it before I attempted the job and it was a good thing I did or I might have had epoxy all over everything.handle

 

I got the new handle pounded onto the head and now it is ready for the epoxy to be applied.pulaski

 

I sealed the handle with clay to keep the epoxy from running out the bottom and set it up to pour the epoxy in and got that done. It should be ready to use in about 24 hours. There were no epoxy leaks, fortunately, or there would of been a big mess.epoxy

 

Fresh crab

About dark my brother Tom came by. He had gotten up real early and went out on a fishing boat to do some crabbing and was successful. You can’t get it much fresher than that. Two crabs all cleaned and cooked and ready to make disappear. I ate one and saved the other for later. Yummy.crab

 

Nice day.
