I don't. I called a friend and neighbor with the volunteer fire DP and he just said yea they have been running lower on pressure for a couple of days. I'm worried about it freezing up now there is no flow. He said not to worry it's only going to be in the teens tonight.

Oh no! Do they know when it will be filled?

I guess I didn't hit Post Reply button yesterday.

Morning! Brewing lots of hot coffee for the sleepyheads! Have at it!

Oh thanks. Much needed. Stayed up way to late last night.

Chiseled and Raked ~16" of snow off the sled shed roof,
taking a 'break' half way thru to lop the honeysuckle out of the way so I could reach the other side. It's not totally cleared but enough to reset the braces inside and will hold up to tomorrow nights forecast of 'wet' snow. Whew, my arms are tired!

Whew, my arms are tired!

I bet! This winter has led to copious amounts of shoveling.

I bet! This winter has led to copious amounts of shoveling.

Seriously, I think I am getting in shape or perhaps just accustomed to the pain.

I wish my stove could've stopped the cold a few days ago. For the last few days I've been losing water pressure with warming temps. Even above freezing the last 2 afternoons. Even at 0 this morn. We turned all faucets on full blast this morning. I went to town came back 4 hrs later thinking everything would be fine at 35 and water running.
I got home it was trickling, so I put the diesel heater in the man way to get under the house. Then the water stopped.
The water didn't freeze. They ran out of water in the water tower next door. I found out after calling the neighbor.
Fortunately I'm next door to the fire house. Unfortunately they had a house fire yesterday morning and refilled the tankers out of that tower with the supply apparently already shut off.

I hope you get water soon!

how would you Heimlich a rooster?

I just took my RIR and held it upside down by her legs while gently tapping her back when this happened some years ago.

Good evening everyone!

Today we took advantage of the balmy temperatures and the flock-down to finally cut one of the overgrown bamboos down that had developed into some kind of monstrosity and started to strangle a wonderful apple tree.

Several trailer hours and loads later we were exhausted, but finally the sunlight was able to seep through the apple tree branches again.

Yes, even tho it started late.

Bamboos does that.

 

[LaFleche]

Bamboos does that.

Yes. We were told back then that this was a non rampant type and rootstock blockage would not be necessary, but obviously that proved to be wrong.

The chickens love their bamboo though, and so do the gazillions of sparrows that love to spend the night hidden in the overgrowth.
