Well, the wifey has been at me to build a patio area with a fireplace. I had to build a retaining wall to level up the area. I have some Item 4 crushed gravel coming later this week to fill the rest of the inside to a level grade. I will fill in around the stonesfirst then put down Geotech fabric and put down the final layer gravel. I will spread the top with several bags of cement, water it down and then run the plate tamper over it, until is packed like concrete. It won't look like stamped concrete, but it will hold up very well. Good enough for this Adirondack Redneck, LOL

Did you get a very early start, or just working late? No matter, I know you will enjoy the fruits of your labor for quite some time.
 
Glad you're doing it, not me. Mine just told me we had the yard work under control for the summer. Now maybe I can get back to working on Grandpa's H.
 
Geeez Loren- does she want to kill you??!?!?!?
It was fairly recently I finally saw why you were absent for a while. Is that under control? Blood pressure related? Certainly not weight!
AND- I agree- daylight is long enough now- you don't need to work in the dark!
 
Hay Bob,
I'm doing good now. The stroke was minor, but the colestrol meds about killed me. I lost the use of my arm and was in pain24/7. A friend if mine told me he had the same problem with the meds. We both quit takeing them and we both are much better now. My job was stressing me a lot, but now I am working for uncle sam, and get paid once a month. I don't know if you heard or not, but we lost Dad on Mothersday. He would have been 92 next month. He died at home and comfortably, thanks to HOSPIS.
The neighbors and former customers are keeping me busy with projects ranging from diging in drainage with my trackhoe, to installing solar thermo and PV systems., and wheel chair ramps. LOL. Things are going well up on the farm. Depending on todays weather, K&M will be done with first cut hay this week. The open winter took it's toll on the Alfalfa. Have you dried out and back on schedule? T.alk to you again
Loren.
PS, I am on the Case board most of the time.
 
Yes- I pretty much keep up with you on Case- saw pictures of your parade, and read about your father.
Such a great family history with the excellent farm, dealership, sugarhouse, etc.
Been a strange year here. If you get a crop planted and out of the ground just right, great. If not, not so good. Now it's an outbreak of armyworm!!
