View AttachmentView AttachmentRead some of the news, answered a few emails, then worked on one of the electric carts (solenoid) and buttressed the well cover that failed when we put in the new brass gate valve that fits the 2 inch line we use to fill the 500 gallon tow behind tank we use for burning......all that while waiting for the darn GNATS to disparate enough to where we could go work on items in the woods. Once the gnats had tailed off loaded up the mower and a couple of different kinds of herbicide, ran up to the main gate and cleaned that all up. On the way back stopped off and treated some tropical soda apple ( invasives ). Mixed up yet a different herbicide......triclopyr ( 20% ) and diesel......and spent the next couple of hours treating palmetto in a couple of burn units. Had a 10 minute nap in the front seat of the truck......really needed that. Then........raked up some ling leaf pine straw from a stand we burned a couple of weeks ago so we could take it back to the house in Fruit Cove.......real long leaf pine straw is $6 for a pitiful little 15-20 pound bail......picture of that attached. Finally.....changed the grapple out on the tractor to the bucket, followed Louann up to the sand hill where we loaded the truck with rocks/dirt which we then went and fixed a few spots in the road that the rain has been hard on. Really needed the Pabst that got consumed while we spread the dirt/rocks at about 5:30...... you are slacking. JK. I don’t think anyone can keep up with you. You make me feel like a lazy bum.

Hard to beat another mustang…
I took dad fishing yesterday afternoon, caught 15 trout and about 10 sailcats on jigs.
Guys at the fish cleaning station said they seen some reds so we’re gonna go out and see if we can find one or two.
Hapy Easter

It’s nice keeping the kids close to home. No matter how old they get it feels good to be able to keep an eye on them. I hope $5 a gallon gas doesn’t destroy the budget. That’s where those in charge are steering the prices to. $5 has been the goal for many years.

This morning we had an early church service and am now waiting on the family for Easter festivities (which includes some great food). Peace out folks. We did all the family stuff yesterday. Honey Baked ham and turkey, casseroles, yeast rolls, etc. Had to so everybody could get to church this AM and I've got to take a grandson to the airport. He's flying out to Germany for a 10 day school trip. Should be interesting as he is a picky eater. I figure his tastes will expand or he'll lose 10 lbs.

I went to the ER Saturday morning because of vertigo. They admitted me to the hospital so they could run some tests. They did three different CT scans and the diagnosis was inner ear problems. I was released at 2 pm today. Back home again and glad to be here. That's how my Easter weekend went.

A lot of people frown on honey baked hams because they’re twice as much as a store bought spiral ham but I still love them for special occasions. Hope your grandson adapts to German food. Who doesn’t like a schnitzel? I like those big giant German pork hocks also.

Took pictures and serial numbers off some windows that need warranty coverage.
And grilled burgers.
