The view for my entire day. It had been a little while since I'd been in the constructo-tank. It's got a new quirk or two but we figured it out and got it done.

Go with the flow that only you know, and consider the rest as sketchy at best. Far be it from me to try and turn moss into a tree - for moss has a beauty same as carpet has a duty. Call me Apple, I require a minimum number of chill hours to be fruitful and crush.

After a little trackhoe sled ride down the hill (the one to the left that cant be seen) and squeezing between a couple trees, we managed to back fill the remaining stretch of waterline.

We all little bit of a workout today moving dirt around the old fashioned way in the snow. I only busted my tail in the snow 3 times. I gotta get some studded boot soles.

Seems like we were caught a little unprepared for this much snow this early. I felt the urgency to stay ahead of it and use the time moving as much snow as time would allow.

Some of the whopping tomatoes that refused to vine ripen before the hard freezes rolled in. I'm happy to see they're managing to get some color after all.

I wanted to see how the red cabin RMH would start this morning. 37 inside and 16 outside is a pretty good temp diff but a realistic scenario for laid back use.

37 was the residual temp from about 16 hours earlier so insulation always matters. Barely any priming done and it had good draw - note the flame direction.

The folding shelve support turned out to be a learning exorcise. If it only needed to work it would be easy but form is always a factor.

the picture with the drill was a failed attempt and the wire didn't contract as far as I'd expected when wound. I used the drill chuck to spin all of the brass strand used.
