..they were only $60 so I picked one up. Plugged it in and boom..working like a charm!
It’s lighter and quiet compared to the other one..we will still attempt to fix it but we want to use it more for brush and this one for just grass. 
..and it melted. Puuuuuuurfect. That was a splendid 10 minute exercise…looks much nicer short.
..darg…only 1/5 done. The head was flopping around like crazy as I was trying to cut..I was not sure what the problem was..inferior product comparded to my regular snipper.
OK..really he was about 1.5 ft long. A Garter snake..pretty well the only type of snake around here that I have ever seen..with the exception of a ring-neck snake. Both never get very big. When I saw him I told Jango that there was a squirrel up on top of the pile so he jumped up..and then freaked out. I don’t think he has ever seen a snake. The snake fell into the grass..
And for the next 5 minutes Jango was literally looking where he stepped and though every tall piece of grass was a snake…I have never seen him so nervous. That lasted 5 minutes then he stopped looking where he was going and was bounding around the woodpile again like he had never seen the snake in the first place..the joy of a dogs memory..ignorance is bliss.
And the uncovered wood..the first thing I need to do is square off this batch…I am going to take off the edges and then begin making it all smooth..this time we are going to do it all then put it all in..not like the bedroom..We learned so much on that project and I don’t want to make the same mistakes twice.
The humidity of the wood is near perfect..give it a couple more days then I will start..hopefully this weekend if the weather is cooperating.
One out of one dogs agree that new wheelbarrow tires saves peoples shins. So..after I got the tire on it was onto some other awaiting tasks..re-piling the wood. I actually had a bunch of photos taken over the weekend but my stipud camera decided not to store them. Anyway..the long and short of it is that A* and I restacked the wood. Its too bad we did not have those pictures as A* was doing tricks and stunting..at one point we we krunkin’ on top of the woodpiles to some hardcore beats. OK, so none of that happened and I am not 100% sure what krunkin is..I think it is a dance.
There were MANY pieces from over the last 3 years that I have been putting aside due to being impossible to split for whatever reason. I set those ones aside during the stacking process and then I took the big pieces and put them around the firepit via the wheelbarrow..this way when I have guests we won’t have to search for wood..I really just should have stacked it but A* and I like to get ideas for what we want an area to be in the future..last year we laid out the flower beds with wiring before we started digging..so it at least seems like we have a plan!
The idea for us is to keep on filling this area near our driveway..SInce it was so easy I might come back this weekend and do another..We also might put up a little bit of a pseudo-fence to frame in the area..dunno..we will have to see.
I will take the time now to tell you to the best of my ability what annuals we planted: ones with flowers. Yeah..annual names are not really my strong suit.
