Hello Opa, and Friends.
Sorry that I have not been around lately. When I bought this place last year, it had been abandone for a couple three or four years, and I knew that I had a lot of work to do. However, I may have been too conservative in my estimate of what it would take. Not to mention that I may have been overly generous in my beliefs of my capabilities. I'll get it done, but it may take longer than planned. And, I'm going to need bigger equipment.
Highlander, when I mentioned the cool 100 degrees, you must understand that I was using a different reference than normal. I moved here from the Arizona desert, about 50 miles south of Phoenix. It is not unusual to see temperatures of 120 degrees in the shade there. When you could get a breeze, (which wasn't often) it was DRY and hot as if it came off the oven. Here, I have a cool breeze almost all the time, and the temps feel a lot cooler than they read.
CCMH, thanks for the welcome. I have found the coffee is always good here. I am soooo glad I found this site, and all the good folks here. It's comforting to know there are still good people out there, what with all the troubles the world is having now.
I'm sorry that I can't respond to all the posts, but I haven't even caught up on reading all of them yet. Well, back to the weed problem. Some of them are so big, I may have to get the chainsaw out. No burning here, and all trash has to be bagged, so I feed the chipper and sack it. Need a bigger dumpster also..
To all my new friends that I missed, please understand that I haven't overlooked you. I just have some time constraints right now... Thanks...
Sorry, can't do smileys right now... figure it out later... smiles a bunch...
