The two that you see are brass figurines but we do have a large Blue Heron that comes by once in a while to see if he can get a fish out of the pond.

Busy day felt like but didn't get much done... Started new fence section, hooked up new pool pump/filter, fixed a ratchet and loaded drivers on a laptop. Hung a temp light up in kitchen as the fluorescent decided to take a dump yesterday. Might just put a few more recessed lights in and forgo the one large light.

Drug the electric pole they left for me out back, going to cut up tomorrow. Probably use it as rollers when move a storage shed this summer. Like i needed more crap laying around

Have a good evening

Went to Sam’s Monday and looked at the pool chlorine. It was 199.98!!!!
John went back today to get the chlorine. They were sold out. The past three or four summers the same chlorine was $79.98.

Easy to do, chems are the same but ya will need a salt cell. - which breaks down salt to chlorine


If salt water is below ~45f, ya put a Chorine stack and tabs in the filter lines

Check w pool joint. Easy peasy. Only check water once a week w salt after opening. Very, bery, very low maintenance compared to chlorine

Good morning people of the barn!

I'm up way too early, can't sleep....ribs hurt from fall a couple of nights ago , trying to get back to a normal schedule but it takes time when you've been behaving like an owl for most of the winter.

More great weather for us guys.....had to use the AC in the car yesterday, first day of the year.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Breakfast inspiration person. ...
