Guess Dr. Seuss was a bit before his time… No wait, that was green eggs and ham, not green ham and eggs. Anyway, weird!
Or is right now. Got the truck (yellow Toyota) cranked and after a trip through the creek and over the bridge was able to drive right to the cedars. A bit of back and fill here and there but after I get the time to finish the privit twill have a nice road into that area. And more important a beginning to the perimeter road on that side of the creek.
Got a load of branches and broken pieces and didn’t even crank the chain saw. Or didn’t crank it at that time. Cause I did cut them up but that was after getting back to the dwelling.
Also got a few rock that we had piled up earlier in the week. Got a lot more up there to get too.
And back I came. To crank the saw and cut a couple of wheelbarrow loads of firewood, unload the rock, and cover the rest of the wood still in the back of the truck.
Then breakfast and the rain. So after stoking the fire I retired to my aerie to watch the weather.
Got lots that I could be doing inside but after spending a good 7 hours of the day riding the MF-135 yesterday I am taking a bit of a break. Can hardly move as it is.
Bit of an interlude there as we had some real close lightnening and then I went out to clear the ditches. Got them clear enough I think/hope. Now for me to dry out a bit. Was (and is) pouring out there. Radar is showing that we are right in the middle of the worst of it right now. Another half hour to 45 minutes and should start letting up (10:16 cst now).
Got to get the bod in motion. Rain coming in within the hour and dry wood on the ground to cut and gather.
Cleared a new road along the west side of the bamboo yesterday. Main reason was two large dead cedar trees that I am heading up to relieve of some of their limbs in a bit. And a really large oak that the beavers undercut a few years ago. Still some good burnable wood there I think.
Rain is coming so must run for the nonce. Back in a bit.
