BYC Café

[Sally PB]

About 5-6 hours of wood splitting today. We started at a neighbor's and split his little stack for him. Then we did our stacks, which contained some 12-15" diameter oak logs. Hubby runs the splitter, I stack and stay out of his way.

32,000+ steps for me today. Pick up logs, walk 8 steps to the woodpile (or 4 or 10). Stack logs, walk back. Repeat about 500bajillion times.

Good morning and thanks for the hot coffee!
Great job, Sally! I did 3 hours of cutting and splitting the other day and felt it in my shoulders.
Firewood is a wonderful workout!
Safe travels, Sour!
I will bake Apple Pie bread today and see how it turns out.
Enjoy the day, Cafe!

@sourland, I saw a T-shirt in a catalog that made me think of you.

"DAD
GRANDDAD
GREAT-GRANDDAD
I just keep getting better with age!"

We are having "giving me the creeps" wind.
I heard a tree come down out there then a loud bang shortly after right near the house.
I looked out to see the curtains blowing around violently in the sunroom, the ceiling fan spinning away and rain coming all the way in towards the door.
Then I figured out what the loud boom was. One of my aluminum swivel chairs blew all the way across the deck and off into the yard. I hope the wind doesn't change course and blow something into the pond.

Been there, done that.

We were out here in the car we had a atmospheric river or really hard rain, could not see the lines on the road.
Did not let up like 15 miles like that.
By the time we reached home it was not even drizzling let Mocha out
not a drop fell.

As a kid, I used to wonder why my mom hated to drive in the heavy rain/snow. We always got where we were going, so eh? what was the big deal?

In my thirties/forties, I didn't like driving in the heavy rain/snow, but I had to get to work, so eh? it was just something I had to do.

Now, I hate to drive in the heavy rain/snow. So I don't unless I absolutely have to, and now, there are very few reasons I would have to. I get it now, mom. I get it.
