Sorry I don't have pictures of these adventures. You'll have to use your imagination.
Friday:
Cutting wood, I got my saw blade wedged in a log. Pried so hard I loosened the nuts on the saw. I tightened one, but while I was cutting the whole saw crumbled to pieces. After hunting all over we finally found the nuts and got the saw going again.
On the way back from the woods, I decided to drive through the dried up pond. It wasn't dry enough. The Rhino got stuck in the mud. I went and got the neighbor. Itch another neighbor's come-along, and after I put it in neutral, I pulled the Rhino out.
Today:
The boys went out to feed the cats and Ben said he saw something furry behind the door. I got the .22 and headed out. A few minutes later I was disposing of a dead possum. It brought to my mind the following Tom Waits quote that hangs at trout farm in Alpena.
"There's always some killin' you got to do around the farm."
Let me know when you start making braised possum. Then I'll know you've made the full conversion to farm life!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a weekend:)

QUESTION: Why did the possum cross the road?
ReplyDeleteANSWER: To show the chicken it could be done--but NOT in this case!
Guess I won't be propping my door open!
