Summer Starting to End on the Farm

Image
It has been good spending time on the farm. I really had forgotten how quiet and dark it is here. It can actually be a bit unnerving. The leaf doodle bug was put to work in the forest. However, it looks like the car will be going back on the road. We can say it failed field trials,but that would only be partially true. The better utility value at this point is more suited to getting a teenager back and forth from high school. The mycological aspects of the farm did not disappoint. The pics of these shrooms are not photoshopped. The coal stove (very heavy) is loaded on the truck. It will be rebuilt in Georgia if I can save it. Coal stoves are increasingly out of production. When they are gone they are gone. The small wood stove is now in its place. The pic of the red sky in morning was indeed a warning of weather. We had strong storms and tornados in Upstate NY. Although I was travelling much that day in the area, I missed the worst of it.

Exciting times! Busy. I sold a "barn find" tube audio pre-amp for almost $1200 yesterday, something that I rescued from the scrap heap. Coaching and self-development is (and will) pay off. Honesty, integrity and a never relenting quest for " #bettereveryday " is where I live. It does not matter where you start.

Happy Labor day. It is one of the few Holidays in the US that businesses and the government has off. It is not to say that there aren't people working in services for sure. Here is how we grill here at the Dowdell home. I welded up a second grill that allows a pizza to get smokey and hot. I was very interested in building a brick oven many years ago. I am glad I didn't. The Weber grill works great and the possibilities are near endless.
