Take A Hike

Headed over to Cuivre River State Park for a short hike with my better half plus the dog. We decided to do the North Loop of Cuivre River Trail it's about a 4 Mile journey that will take you through hills and valleys of the Big Sugar Creek Wilderness Area. The spring was following but it's amazing how dry it already is for April which we have been accustomed to wet Springs for the last few years.

Time To Get Away

Finally, been on-call for work the last 11 days. Remington is with his Mom and Evan didn't want to go. So it's a solo trip. Drove to Montauk State Park for a little trout fishing on the Current River. Haven't been here for like 20 yrs., fished for 4 hrs and only saw one guy catch any fish. Stopped off at Short Bend Access on the way home and more of the same. Missed every bite I had today, but sometimes it's not about what you catch it's about just being outdoors. One thing is for sure the snakes were out today.

Guess someone thought the tree was going to loose it's bark.

Clean Up Continues

Shingles and more shingles. Clean up continues as it seems it's never ending. Fun times on the farm. I also thought it might be time to take the Ranger over to town an give it a bath before my mother strangles me. Didn't leave the farm until 5:30 as all I wanted to do is stay. What a beautiful weekend it was.

Barn Repair

Well it's time to fix the machine shed. Picked up Raymond and Aaron a couple Amish boys that have been good friends of the family for some time. Bryan showed up to help as well. Took us about 5 hrs. to complete the job. The door is 12' x 15' x 1 1/2", all we had to do is replace some backer boards and remount the track as it was ripped off the barn during some horrendous winds back in late Feb.
