Banking, Puttering and Moving Woodchips Around the Yard

Friday October 28, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Banking

My credit card got locked out when I was on the trip as if it doesn’t work twice they lock me out. A phone call is needed but where I was at the time there was no cell phone service so I just left it like that until I got home and rested up. So today I needed to get the card fixed up so I decided to just go down to the bank as I had some other questions about using the debit card.

The guy fixed me up and answered my questions.

I also got an email today that my power bill of 1.47 did not get paid because it was on that card. I’d thought I put it on a bank account about six mouths ago so I called to get that fixed up with the power company. The bill was real low because I was out tripping and I also got a clean air credit.

That taken care of I went out in the yard and took it easy warming up in the sun.

Moving woodchips

I needed to move some woodchips to several places around the yard so I got my dump truck and loader and loaded up some woodchips.mulch1

 

Mulberry tree

Woodchips are mulch so I started moving some to the mulberry tree and got this far and hoped to get it all by dark, this evening.tree

 

Chicken pens

I put some fresh mulch in this chicken pen. It helps keep the pen clean and absorbs a lot of nutrients from the chickens.pen3

 

And I put some chips in the chicken’s mulch pen.pen4

 

I did a lot of chair hopping around the yard, just taking it easy and enjoying the day.

Watering

I put some water on this  mulch to help break down the woodchips and also water the avocado tree on the right.water5

 

Lunch

I was getting hungry so I went to the chicken pen and grabbed six of these eggs and cooked them up for lunch.eggs6

 

Mulched

Just before dark I hauled some more chips to the mulberry tree and that was done.tree7

 

I decided to put the water on the chips to help break them down faster.water8

 

Sunset

And I sat around and chair hopped while the sun went down behind the hills to my west.sunset9

 

Nice day.

Visiting With My Cousin On the Hill Top and a Nice Ride Around the Forest Doing Some Light Trail Work

Thursday October 27, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Headed up into the hills

Rode up into the hills to visit my cousin.  I stopped here at the Guerneville overlook on the way to her place.bike1

 

That’s the town of Guerneville down in the trees and it’s about two miles from my house.guerneville2

 

Visiting

From there I rode on over to my cousin’s place. We sat down on her poach and had a nice visit for a couple of hours.

From there I rode around the hills stopping here and there to throw rocks and sticks off the road.

I stopped here to throw that dead tree off the road.tree3

 

It was a nice day to ride around and I rode out this trail.trail4

 

And on up this trail.raod5

 

Walked around

To this ridge top on my cousin’s place. I walked around the ridge top in this spot. It’s too dry right now for wild mushrooms, but it looked like a good spot for them.ridge6

 

I stopped on this part of the trail to clean rocks and sticks off the trail so it’s easier to get by now.trail7

 

On the way home I went by our water tanks and checked the ribbon water gauge. The tanks were full of water, just right.tanks8

 

Back home I puttered around the yard moving some mulch to my mulberry tree and I did some chair hopping around the yard.

Rats

I’d planned to renew the rat bait that doesn’t work but I didn’t get to it. Once they are eating the bait again, I plan to spike the bait with some store bought stuff to see if that does them in. They ate all the bait while I was away on my trip and I don’t think it killed any of them. Time to get started on that again as I hear them up in my house’s attic.

Nice day.
