As long as hot tub works for after the work, it goes well. Cut three acres yesterday and trimmed some of the 12 foot hedges. Finished the water line to the pastures.

Well, they are calling for a couple hours of light snow(no stick too warm) this morning. It's right at 40 outside with no wind. Im fixing to go out and drink a cup of coffe on the proch. Going up to KFSM before noon for 2-3 hours time up there. If we go West and play, we shouldn't have any trouble. I tell you,you're gonna have to start slowing down some now that you have something else besides work to occupy your time.That's all I ever did, then I was lost for awhile, but I got to liking that porch, piddlin around the place and now I'm flying just about as much as I need to to keep the itch satisfied. Think About It.
