Potato Man
Barry showed up this morning so we were off on a ride, stopping by Tom’s garden for a bit. Tom is planting potatoes.
Forest ride
We rode on up into the hills and stopped to move this downed tree, but it was too heavy so we just threw the brush off the road
Water
We stopped at this spring for a drink of water.
Exploring an old road
We stopped here as Barry saw an old road down off the side of this road he wanted to check out. He moves through the forest faster than I like to go so I let him go check out the road while I had a nice break here.
Barry took off down through here to check out the old road. It’s steep country although the picture doesn’t really look like it.
At the top
When Barry got back we headed up to our rest spot at the top of the mountain.
After a good break we headed towards home taking the long way.
I needed a nap after that, a nice long one.
Mowing weeds
I wanted to work on my trailer, but wasn’t into it, so I opted to mow some weeds instead.
Weeds
This area needs some mowing.
I mowed until my back was screaming.
The chickens didn’t waste any time moving in right after I mowed.
Making brackets
After I mowed, I still had a couple of hours before it would get dark, so I got to work on the trailer job.
I needed to make a couple of stake brackets. I measured and cut and drilled some metal pieces then welded them up into stake brackets.
Stake brackets
Here’s the two brackets I made. A coat of paint will make them look nicer.
I put the chickens away for the night and went in for the day.
Nice day.
