Just got home from work.
Thank God It's Friday!!!!!
Need to get some pizza dough made, and get some toppings sliced up. Grandson is having a friend spend the night with him tonight. We'll be making our own pizzas.
I love homemade pizza!!! It's one of the only things I still use my bread maker for.
 
A great day here with the high of 60* and warm sun. So nice the wife wanted to take a walk! We walked about two miles. A good job for her.
Saw the bald eagle that has been spending the winter here. We also saw the same road runner we saw this summer. I am still surprised that he survives way up here.
Wind is now blowing hard and a storm front is moving through in the next 24 hours. 60* today but the Sunday high is expected to be 31*
 
Waited around for a handyman to come by to look at the loose kitchen tile. They gave me a window they'd be by and they showed up after that window. I'm glad I said no go after 2pm. That gave me over an hour before I have to pick Roo up from school.
 
Getting Constant Texts and E Mails. This is Serious. Anything Congress does that isn't a Real Budget, cannot "Restart" "Operations". Mattis warned us last night. If I was an Enemy of The USA, given the Situation, I would make a Move now. Even Covertly, to gain Future Advantage. Let me put this in "Perspective" for everyone. The US Military Machine relies on "Contractors" for Fuel, Food, Intel Gathering(NASA is all contracted). Even Ammunition at Depot Level is managed by Contractors. All Contractors have been notified to report to work and Dismantle their Systems. Israels Closest and Strongest Friend, is now Hostage and Severely Hindered. "She" well may now, be Forced to Act, if Her Enemy is Aware. Pray that we may Dodge this Bullet.

My day didn’t turn out as planned. Was going to clear a deadfall birch by the well house and repair a gate. Ended up with unexpected (but enjoyable) visit from friend. A couple of hours clearing snow. Replacing some thermostats on upstairs baseboard heaters (one of which was on functional out of the box, so will have to return and replace on next trip to city). Tomorrow’s schedule is full and I have a webinar on Monday morning, so I guess thedeadfall and gate get started Monday afternoon. Now, off to check the roast, put the spuds on and make the gravy
 
Number 1 son (active Navy) has a potential project to rebuild a Pavilion (i.e. Smoking / meeting gazebo) for his command. I got drafted to make the construction drawing and building material / price list. Done and sent to son. Pavilion is about 12' x 12' x 12', the expected construction time (me -- drafted again -- and him) to take a week. This may all go on hold if the shut down lasts very long.

I don't know if son is considered essential personnel or support. If he does not get paid, he is going to be in a world of hurt. He is stationed in San Diego and his mortgage is very high, too high for me to be able to cover. Keeping my fingers crossed for him.
 
Moved dirt for my road all day.

Today I got up to drive to Arizona and found that someone stole my pistol and flashlight out of my truck but left my wallet and laptop that were sitting next to it.

Arizona is a great state but it is not perfect yet, we still have to get rid of the low life. Those critters don't belong to me. sorry for the loss of your stuff. Like B.O.B,, it sucks!1
 
I finished going through and labeling Roo's toy totes. Now I need to finish Juju's closet and then I can move on to my next project to declutter. K went through his side of the closet and dresser. He boasted about how he did this right before the move last year and wouldn't have much if anything to do. He came out of our room with 2 large trash bags of clothes to toss a few hours later. Little does he understand he also has to write up a list of clothes he needs to replace such as socks and underwear.
 
Neat tractor. Don't wear the new off of it the first month you have it!
How's deer season going? It should be about gone!

I despise a thief! I don't know about you, but I worked to hard for the little I have. Especially for someone to sorry to work to support their crackhead habits!

It was stolen in California, you are off the hook
Seems like California has more of there share of this type person! But you can find them anywhere anymore.

Learned the hard way not to rub my eyes after cutting up chili.

I'm currently wearing a yoghurt face mask to stop the burning.
Also make sure you wash your hands before going to the bathroom!

Are you going to gravel it? Up here without gravel it would deteriorate pretty quickly
Nope. It's got clay in it and gets pretty hard. I have some good topsoil I'll put over a ND seed it. It will be almost exclusively walked on.
