Slowly. Got 5 piers put in today. 2 of them are done. the others have to be added to. the two that are done are the ones closest to the tongue. or where the tongue was. got it unbolted and taken out. twas a bit of a bother but so far almost everything about this job has been a problem to a greater or lesser extent.

Most of the day was spent lying under the thing digging or jacking. arms are over tired. may not get it done tomorrow. figure i have 8 to 14 inches to go in the back. No real reference to go by. I did a quick and dirty figure it from the 2 foot level and got over 24 inches which i think is way off but haven't done it again after getting the front leveled so just don't know. 8 to 12 feels like its in the ball park but again no reference to go by. guess i will get it when the bubble is in the center…

not much else going on. keeping on keeping on with the trailer project. will be moving faster with it after the leveling is done. the power entry is on the north side toward the east end. I may just cut and shorten the power going to the camper for now and leave the heat pump cut off. that would give us lights and outlets as needed till I can run a real power line that way.

tis the new year now. Just got a new front page up at <a href="http://www.jville.net">jville.net</a>. added a happy new year and took the christmas is coming soon down. real on top of it lately. had the trailer and end of year on my mind and not getting things done as i should.

Several problems on the back burner(s) are going to get done in the next week or two. Need to get a load of books from the sa. And get the ones in the 8×8 moved so we can get to other things in there. Got to get the title stuff done on the van again with the replacement title this time. and take a vacation. soon. and get the stuff at edwinas moved. and the bushes dug up and moved. and. and. and. but gonna take some time as the problems allow and go away for a week or so.

Need to call around and see what the trees are going to cost to remove. got to do or get that done soon.

XCode is interesting. Playing with the <a href="http://camelbones.sourceforge.net/index.php">Camel Bones</a> tutorials now. Had no idea programing had come that far. Of course the Hello world folder is 3.4 meg. but the gui overhead is about the same for a large or small program so i guess it evens out. and that does include the build libraries and all the support files too.

been out getting milk and catfood. Then got back and had to start a crockpot full for supper. Got a pork roast the other day at thompsons meat processing and put it in after washing it off. then cut up half a head of cabbage, 3 large carrots, 4 leaves (?) of celery, 2 onions, salt, pepper, basal, sage, poultry seasoning, and enough water to come within a inch of the top of the crock. Will stir and settle the veggies as the day goes on. may add some potatoes later after it cooks down a bit. nuke them a few before adding and they should catch up just fine.

Went out and looked at the trailer and counted block and have enough for a basic leveling. more/better will wait till later. with the mushiness of the ground I will have to relevel in the summer anyway to get it about right. guess now is as good a time as any to get it done…
