Feb 22nd - Not Much Progress to Report

I went to Cumberland Fellowship Sunday morning. Kathy stayed with her Dad so that Tom & Mary Lou could go to church together. Wendy had stayed overnight and was also there to help with Merv, if necessary. I took the afternoon off.

This morning we went to Crossville. We had breakfast at Sister's Café, I love that place. I had 2 eggs, country ham, biscuits & gravy & coffee. Kathy had 2 eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, toast & water. With tax the bill was $10.98. We stopped by Habitat's Re-Store to see if they had a light bar for above our medicine cabinet but struck out. Kathy hit "Ugo", the discount grocery store & Krogers. I went to Cash Home and ordered our last kitchen cabinet. It is the one I wasn't sure would fit. I'm not going to do the countertop cutouts for the sink & drop in range until I have the cabinet in place. Things are just to tight. I want to be know exactly how things will be positioned before doing the cutouts.

I ran another tank full of gas through the chainsaw, opening up our "view". I thought it would be good after cutting down maybe 5 more small trees. I probably cut down 30 of them ranging in size from 1" diameter to 3" diameter and still don't have enough cut down. I have to go further down the slope out away from the cabin. I also need to "man up" and cut down 3 larger trees (2 maybe 4" in diameter and 1 about 10" in diameter) that are midway down the slope. I hate cutting down the larger, non-pine trees. They are large enough for firewood but I'm not sure how to get a tractor down there to get the wood out. I could get down there with my Kubota but I think Tom's Allis might be to big. I need to measure the out/out of his tires to make sure it will fit between all the trees.

The spiders were out running around in the leaves. I didn't spray myself with Deet before going out and was concerned that I might have gotten into some ticks but apparently not. After cutting the trees I took a shower, had a late lunch and took a wonderful nap.

This evening we went to Tom & Mary Lou's for supper. I think Kathy cooked (I was napping <grin>). We had a good visit again.

It is drizzling rain this evening and supposed to rain tomorrow. Its supposed to rain tomorrow & Wednesday and then there is a 40% chance of light snow on Thursday. Temperatures are warm. Mid 50's for highs and mid 40's for lows.

All in all it was a good day. God is good.
