We have to get you some better beer!
I concur. ;D

Just a little warning Sedge, there is a bit of a beer jump between between Ultra and Voo Doo ranger. Might want to start off with a Fat Tire first ;).

This is a nice buffer ale and it fits right into the view!

I see it's almost a twofer. I'd have cut some pain meds to drink it all while cold. I could do that. It's actually a different type of pain reliever, but still helps, so it's good. Thanks fir the up heads.

Yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's project. More dirt is out. Rebar n crete tomorrow. You can see 2 access boxes. 1 to the pond with a 2" stainless shut off valve and a 3" check valve and we put another 2" stainless shut off valve for the future 2" line going out to the pasture for irrigating.

Don't really have words for this exactly....

Sedgehammer · July 22, 2020, 10:13:10 PM

Just got the news. Doctor, doctor said I've got a bad case of... Oh, wait, no, that's not it. I have surgery next Wednesday. Left elbow nerve and left hand nerves. Left arm is mostly numb when not in use. Really bad at night. Hurts at times to the point of tears and makes me sweat. Middle two fingers totally numb. That is unless they lock back down. she said ICU is full. Even though this is an outpatient, with my meds and history, they need a place encase pooh hits the fan for me. Fun, fun till daddy took the, oh wait, that's not it either.....

Wudman · July 23, 2020, 11:04:41 AM

Sounds like compression of the ulnar nerve. I lose feeling in three fingers on my left hand on occasion......similar to carpal tunnel just a different nerve involved. Mine is from compression in the elbow, but I can still work mine out so far. Good luck to you.

samandothers · July 23, 2020, 08:45:50 PM

Hope the elbow nerve will fix it!

I think that's it. They'll be doing both. Carpal & elbow. Thanks

Me to! :D

Here's the mower me bride got for me to mow the pond dam. Works well. A lot of mower for a dam that takes 20 minutes to mow.

I ran out of gas, so wasn't able to finish. I'll try to take a few more tomorrow.
It'll mow a 55° hill side.

Sedgehammer · July 23, 2020, 10:08:59 PM

Finishing the day.....

thecfarm · July 24, 2020, 05:09:51 AM

A very nice mower!!

stavebuyer · July 24, 2020, 07:44:35 AM

Beautiful spot. How do you manage to keep the cottonmouths out of the lake?

samandothers · July 24, 2020, 08:22:30 AM

Well that is a cool mower. I have some places in Va. I could use that on a hill side. Would save a bunch of weed eating. WV could use one to haul his spray unit on the side of hills in WVa!

Sedgehammer · July 24, 2020, 09:10:32 AM

@thecfarm thanks! It sure works nice. Still trying to get use to the controls. I keep forgetting what does what...... :embarassed:
@stavebuyer haven't seen even 2. Keeping things cleaned up I think it key. Plus they don't live in the water, just near, so they need cover. Plus have dogs. Have seen some grass snakes and a few bull snakes. The old pond once had a non venomous water snake in it fir a few days. Cottonmouths don't swim under the water, do it's easy to tell, but either way, any snake on the water is a dead snake.
@samandothers thanks! Yeah, they use them on mountainsides to clear brush fir fire control. It only had like 50 hours on it when we got it. It was a demo unit.
