December roll-call.

Howdy All,
Well! It's the busy time of year for most. I get the last week of the year off of work, so I know I'll be getting some sleep. So what is everyone else up to this month.

I have 5 and 1/2 days of vacation I have to burn before year end. Along with the holidays, I hope to have enough time off to get a good start on a 12 X 28 add on to my shop for parking my new tractor.

It shouldn't be too bad. Sink three anchor plates, three uprights of square tubing, some purlin and a frame should appear. If I can get the frame done, then I can cut and put up the sheet metal a little at a time.

My kids will only be here for Christmas day, so I'll have the rest of the time for the project weather permitting.

There is no where warm in the 48 U.S. during the winter.

I'm going to spend the month visiting folks on the road.

Welp, I am OFFICIALLY checking in on December 1st. I hate winter. I dislike Christmas for the most part. Can't wait until summer comes around again. Gonna get my SD on the road this month. That is all.

Well if it makes you guys feel any better, its Dec 2 here , second day of summer. Been raining since Saturday. Had minor floods & all. Normally every one around here would have had to irrigate 4 or 5 times by now. Havent even sprayed the channels yet.
It should be 90+ but I am still in winter clothes. So much for this global warming!! Think we better go take all the pollution gear off the cars so the climate goes back to normal !!
Just got back from visiting relos 2.5 k mile trip. Dont need to travel at Christmas now.
Things are quiet, we got rid of our labour party state government at the election on the week end, Things might improve in the country now.

That's what we're trying to do too.. At least we stopped 'em with this last election, now we need to rollback the gobbledeguk.

Yo! #4 for the month of December...been up since 0439...getting older is requiring a mid-evening bladder run. Sorta' sux. (That didn't come out right. )

Anyways, up in Colfax, taking a few water barrels back to the water-factory, dropping off an empty Nitrogen tank and picking up a full one, and then, cleaning up the transmitter building...
