Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

The weather has been great for working outside, so we have been. I may be working from home, but it doesnt mean I dont still show up for work on Monday sore from weekend efforts. There is always something to do. The bobcat and chainsaw combo negated the need for stump grinding. The new retaining wall has several purposes, one is that it acts as an outside workbench when working on lawnmowers and such. My workday zoom-room is in the background.
