Trying to help a momma duck raise her babies, lost one last night, it didn't die, it is just gone!

Typical Sunday here.

Fed animals and spent some time weeding and mashed up strawberries and raspberries for another batch of wine before getting ready for work. Its going to be a short day today. Probably only 8 hours. Then it's back home to get corn and beans planted. The must will be cooled off by the time I get home. So I'll pitch the yeast then it's time to mow.

Preparing shop space for a 37" resaw bandsaw with a auto feeder.

Moving 3000 bf of maple out of the upper storage and into processing. Hand moving since forklift broke last night. Long weekend so no chance of repairmen.

Fixing a Holley Carb on the 1981 F350 flat deck I picked up if time.

Oww and dealing with 9 yr old having chicken pox and preparing for two year old getting them in under two weeks.

Other then that enjoying another awesome West Coast day.

Chickenpox suck. I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't have children yet. My boyfriend proposed a few weeks ago though so eventually babies will come.

It ended up being a short five hour work day today. The elevator belt broke on third shift yesterday again. I guess they got tired of replacing ten thousand dollar belts so I reengineered the fixed side of the elevator so we could tension it. Belt kept jumping sprockets and creeping to the other side and sheering. We will see how it works when we get back to running tomorrow.

Pitched yeast mowed and strung some old PVC the previous owner had laying around and made a sprinkler system for my garden.

Now I get to dig into the carb on my bike and figure out why it's coughing when in mid range. Hopefully it's a dirty jet.
