Moving one of the snowmobiles out of the barn in anticipation of a new floor this week

What a start to the week. I awakened this morning to discover my email had been hacked and links for a hot new raspberry diet had been sent to everyone on my contact list… all 436 addresses. I’ve gotten those emails from others and usually chuckle, but now that it’s me, I don’t see any humor in it at all. Oh well, I’m sure the Provost and Chancellor of the university will be glad to know of the raspberry diet made in a Canadian pharmacy.

Sunday morning was spent moving the wood (for future projects) from the barn. I didn’t realize I’d accumulated so many pieces of 2x4’s, 1x6’s, and any other potentially valuable sticks of milled lumber. After piling it on the front end loader, moving it to the yard, and covering all with a tarp, I’ve come to the conclusion I’m a lumber hoarder. What comes next, piles of 2x12’s stacked in the living room?

I also used the front-end loader to move the one snowmobile that was in the back of the barn. Sure beat sliding it out by hand!

It's beginning to look empty. The paving crew will move out the heavy benches and shelves.

I joined Sargie in Iron Mountain during the late afternoon. She’d been involved in meetings all day and was happy to be free of the classroom. We spent an hour grocery shopping before joining Mr. Milligan for supper at the VA Hospital.

I’ll ride with Sargie back to Iron Mountain this morning to get the Blazer. After that, the barn floor will need to be cleaned of any little pieces of scrap that I may have missed. Hopefully, this afternoon will see me in the garden. There’ll be no lack of activities today. After all, a man’s work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road…

Brutus isn't worth a darn when it comes to guarding my computer from hackers.
