Another week gone by. What does everyone have planned this weekend?

We did have a weekend off from softball, but yesterday Emma got asked to guest play for a different team so I guess I know where we will be lol. Another heat advisory runs till tomorrow night for us....the things we do for our kids. I will most likely have to work a few hours tomorrow morning as well just to get caught up on some things.

Good luck to Emma.  Keep safe with those heat advisories.  

A bit going on here.  Wife and kids taking off this afternoon to go to middle Tennessee for church camp weekend.  Hoping I can get over there for part of the day tomorrow, but just don't know that it is gonna happen really going to depend on how much I can get done today.  

I need to mow the yard, gotten so thick I am probably gonna mow it at 3 inches sweep it and mow again at 2 in opposite direction. Been so ridiculously humid the grass will still clump regardless of whether I mow it morning, mid day, or late in the afternoon.  About ready to fence off the back couple acres and let the horses eat it.  lol  

Need to do some maintenance work on both tractors.  Need to bush hog ground in the bottom if it is dry enough, so I can turn cows loose on that ground.  Rain supposed to move in on Sunday, so if I don't get it bush hogged before then it might be a while.  Put in a soybean plot in the bottom last weekend ahead of a forecast calling for rain for 3 out of the next 5 days at 40 percent or greater, have only had a few less than 5 minute sprinkles since, we do need rain.  Rotten crows bean eating the beans I did not get covered.

cleaned up on my job this week, buddy that runs processor will be back monday, he was gone for 2 weeks.

had to switch out company truck, as it rusted off the rear leaf spring shackles. So I went from a single cab silverado to a 2500 HD extended cab silverado, spent thurs swapping that out.

Checked on my road crew and contractors, we got 6 out of 11 roads open, working on the 7th. waiting on a major culvert, so they are going back to the open roads and putting down fabric/rock/ and seeding down the slopes etc. before we get caught not having it done in time. Waiting on Governor Walker and Fema to go through the process, so we can turn in paperwork and get re-embursed on most of the $400k its going to take here

other than that, may mow lawn and build a few target holders for bench shooting rifles etc.

The concrete man came to our house this week.

3 pours, 31 yards of concrete for a new garage plus apron and side slab.

I will take it from here. Going to start laying a single course of block  around the perimeter of the garage tomorrow..

Weve been nearly 3 years without a garage.
