Sadly the windows and stone wall wont be done before I leave but I did square
Roger up and told him there was no rush to finish since I wouldnt be around. The
good news is that he said it didnt take as long as he thought it would so it only cost
me 300$ vice 500$. SWEET!
With it starting to rain pretty much since daylight I couldnt do my last bit of yard work
and nt sure ill even be able to do it tomorrow.
Bill called me first thing this momring asking if I still wanted to do my food plot
down back and so we went down for that. He got it down to soil in about an hour
and I quickly got seed into the ground with the next few days beniig rain.
We will see how it looks in the fall.

Most of the day was spent slitting wood. In between I did go down back and get all the big rocks off the roadway and also made sure all the Posted signs were in good shape.
I have quite a bit of wood now. Nearly 2 full rows and still have 1 bin of wood left to split.
Because I knew I had plenty I asked Ralph if Mary wold like some extra and he said sure so I took a bin of wood to her. Should give her and extra 1.5 to 2 cords.
Bill came early today and the driver came and took the rest of my logs and half my pulp. So all I have left is 1/2 a load of pulp. Bill took the skidder off today and the chopper will go Sat. He will be back Friday with the mini-X to clean up the lot.
Late afternoon I went to Bills to get some kindling they had left over from the mill. When does free wood end up being worth 450$ in about a second?
When you bounce a piece of it off your rear window...OUCH!!!

LOGGING COMPLETE!!! Just need to get the logs hauled, a little clean up and then take the tractors out.
Looking from the top of the south ridge.
South ridge to north ridge.
Looking south along the top.
Looking north along the top.
Looking down towards Stock Farm.
The south ridge.

And of course now that the season is over, the turkeys start to get together in big packs.

The 1st of June already!
I started out trying to get the rest of the trim off the living room and bedroom windows and found that there was no header so my claw went right though the dry wall.
Here is how it looked when I had it all off.
There is only about 1/4" board around the edges and then he put another frame board 4 inches out to help tack the molding to. No insulation either.
He had 12 nails per long side on each piece. The nails were 3" long. Which explains why t was so hard to get them off.
I went up to take some of the gravel stone Bill had at the end of the right of way and went and through some in my mud hole. Not perfect but better.
This afternoon I stated to split wood and stack it in the shed. This was my end result. 1 1/2 stacks down and 3 stacks left. If I keep at it slowly I should have this all split by Friday.
I took a small break between sessions and went up to the food plots to see how they looked. They are actually in good shape.
The deer are tearing up the stump and the ground around it where we had a salt block last year.
They also are making a nice runway between the 2 salt blocks. The stump from the last picture is at the top/center of this picture.
Here is the other salt block. It is located in the second food plot and I put it on a rock. See how they are tearing up the ground?
When I was done splitting I stacked all the wood and this is how the shed looks now. There is near 2 cord I put in there today.

Another early morning for the last day of turkey season. Chased a tom around for quite a while but couldnt get him to come in. Switched to shotgun when I came out of my blind to stalk better but to no avail. I did see 3 jakes though.
I then went down to see what Lisa Taylor has been doing with horses and kids with autism.
Quite a program mixing saving horses and combining it with helping kids with disabilities.
This is Lisa's personal horse, Bryne.
When I got home I started to do some little things around the house but noticed that Brad had been around and went up to see what he did.
He did 4 test holes on the south ridge. There is some topsoil but under it looks to be pure sand.
