There’s a lot of mowing that needs to be done, last night my mower belt got delivered. I installed the belt and mowed some grass around the pole barn to make sure everything was working. The new bolts I got to attach the pulley covers worked well. An unexpected problem was some bug had coveredContinue reading “12 June 2024”

After dropping the baby off this morning I swung by ACE hardware again since last time I forgot to look for lawn mower belts and other things. The store didn’t carry belts big enough, the other items on my list were more sand to weigh down a shade canopy and a hose for a refrigeratorContinue reading “11 June 2024”

Hopefully everyone had a good weekend, I don’t remember much from my weekend, so I assume it was pretty standard with a lot of baby games. My daughter started showing affection to a stuff Mickey mouse, it’s the first time she’s really played with a stuffed animal. She likes to push a toy stroller aroundContinue reading “10 June 2024”

Today is the earliest my replacement mower belt can arrive, checking on the tracking it doesn’t seem likely. To prepare and possibly speed things up I’ll go to ACE hardware and see if they sell the belt I need, I need to go there anyway for bags of sand and to match a screw. TheContinue reading “4 June 2024”

As the immortal Jadakiss said, “It’s gonna be a real hot Summer.” It’s before noon and I was doing some light yardwork, maybe cut 10 branches with the loopers, when I came inside my clothes were soaked in sweat from head to toe. We’re not even into June yet. Since infantry training in Fort BenningContinue reading “28 May 2024”

With the riding mower down I still managed to get some smaller tasks done, like the smaller lawn that’s fenced in around the pool. The electric push mower is good for that since I can’t get the riding mower in there anyway. The fenced in grass is probably closer to what most people would considerContinue reading “24 May 2024”

Good news comes with the bad, I finally made it to the furthest corner of my property only to have another lawn mower belt break seconds later. I know I’m buying cheap belts, but I’m also driving like wild in the forest. There are even mulching blades for the mower that I don’t have, fromContinue reading “23 May 2024”

The days are starting to heat up again and there’s nothing like working in a forest where the humidity has no where to go. I was out in the forest this morning with my chainsaw and hedge trimmer combo, there were a couple different path I wanted to extend. The paths weren’t suitable for guestsContinue reading “16 May 2024”

Another satisfying week, for the first time since I’ve moved here over two months ago I’ve finally mowed all of the grass on my property. The grass on the West side gets covered in shade by the tree line leaving it to grow slower. The bees are also on the West side making it theContinue reading “10 May 2024”

The animal friend in today’s photo is a pretty moth I met on the same porch my bird friend hangs out on. The moth was willing to let me take some up close photos which is great since there is a lot of detail on it’s body. My report on yesterday was so-so, the beesContinue reading “25 April 2024”
