35* and nice. Feels like spring.
Trying to get ahold of some duster parts on marketplace but looks like another flake. Guy has some 70/1 taillights, grille and a hood listed in C springs. We shall see
This whole hip, Blizzard, -30, broken plow truck and riding a tractor around in the cold has me thinking. Is all this crap really worth it? Im 61 and thinking im pretty much screwed.
Yep, I keep telling my wife sooner or later I won't be able to or want to take care of all this. Probably sooner.

A lot of things just get harder to do. My yard light went out with the heavy wind. My sweetie won’t let me go up the extension ladder. Wait for son in law to come for Christmas visit
Should have invested in geotextile. Municipality did 1/2 mile across a bad stretch, 4”crushed graniteon the geo and topped it with our local gravels. It has been holding up really well. Most of the roads here are acoss swamps and pete moss. Corduroy was the base. They dug ditches to drain the swamps and the spoil piles became the roads. Built with draglines on swamp pads.
I have a light out on the peak of the garage as well. It's 25' up. I don't need to be on that ladder and I would hate it if one of the kids would go up to change the bulb and fell. I need to rent a man lift of a weekend or so. Do some painting and bulb replacement.

It's Miracle Monday!
Good morning

I think I will replace coffee with sleep this morning. Those muscle relaxers do make you tired.
Morning!
-18°/0°f . Not terrible.
Fuel tank comes out again, guess i screwed up the pump install. Or pump is bad. Had a battle with my fuel pressure tester, did the ol quick coupler delete. It struggled to reach 10 psi, i need 15.

I got my Cat Scan results back. All seems to be ok. No kidney stones which is good. It's amazing all they can see.
It must be TBI

Of course that graphic falls just a little too far south to show their estimates for our area.

I have to have blood work done for an upcoming Dr visit, fasting of course I think today is the best day this week for it since I really don't want to be waiting to get in the lab in the rain 
I was told by one of the technicians that coffee does not affect the sample

I looked into it, no local suppliers and the cost to haul it in from Illinois was stupid expensive.
Well, there’s a business for you then. The rolls are light and you can fit a decent stack on a trailer.

The pricing in the crushed rock industry is definitely different. Generally they charge more for the products they have to process less
I was going to get recycled crushed asphalt, but the first load they brought, had TONS of concrete reinforcement wire strands all in it, tire popping mess so we sent it backThe pricing in the crushed rock industry is definitely different.

Sounds like the producer needs a big electro magnet over the conveyor to pull that stuff out.
I get rock from when it is separated from the coal here. Usually just the trucking charge they want to get rid of it. Makes a great base and the coal oil that is left keeps the weeds down also. Then 2b mod over it.
I'm just happy I was present when they went to dump it. I stopped it before they laid down 900 feet of the crap
Very surprised on that. Mitch uses crushed concrete and tell you what it packs down great. Cannot find it locally.

I have a small gravel pit on my patch. Sand and rock. One pickup load at a time when needed, have an area to put bigger rocks behind shed. First season snows I pack it down the the next snowfalls the plow doesn’t dig it up. Now with days with warm temps the hard pack turned to ice
