Yesterday I "played" with my tractor and chain saw. I reworked the pad I built as a parking area for our motorhome. It was built so that we could drive the motorhome on it and back it off. With the travel trailer we can only back it on the pad, can't drive off the other side because of trees and the slope of the ground. I built up a short ramp on the other end. I think I will be able to pull the trailer up onto the paid unhook it and will have enough room to get my truck jockeyed around and back into the driveway. I won't know until I try it. I moved a couple of small stumps to widen an area on one of our walking paths through the woods and did some minor grading on the path. After that I cleared some small trees and brush from around a dead tree, getting ready to drop it and cut it up for firewood. I now have good access to the tree. I can get the tractor and trailer right up to it. It is a "double tree". About 3' off the ground the stump splits into two 18-20" diameter trees. I think I will wait until cold weather before I cut it down. I don't have room to stack it by the Hardy furnace and I don't want to haul it out to the wood storage shed in the back, unload it and then have to load it back up and haul it back up to the storage area next to the Hardy.
Lydia spent the night last night and Nolan was here today, which made a busy day for Kathy.
Wed is my Men's Fellowship breakfast and Bible Study morning. We had a good lesson and discussion time. After breakfast I went over to California and got a haircut. The barber I go to there does an adequate job of cutting my hair and trimming my beard and he is a wealth of knowledge about past and current events in the area. Plus he charges $8 for cutting my hair and trimming my beard. I always give him $15. He tells me that is to much and I tell him I have lived other places and know that it isn't. This morning when I paid him we went through that ritual and then he told me that he cuts the hair of one other guy who also pays him $15. I said, "I bet he used to live other places." and Chuck said that he did. From the times I've been there it appears that most guys give him a $10 and tell him to keep the change.
It was over 80 degrees when I left the restaurant. I'm not sure what the high temp was for the day. I did virtually nothing.
