Another productive day!

 7:54 am - Wednesday - November 26th - TWW - 38° F, humidity 40%, wind 8 mph out of the south by southeast......partially cloudy today with a forecast high of 60° F.  On this date in 2024 TLE and I were assembling our new cedar shed....

....at The Wilson Wilderness.  We were able to get it about 75% finished the first day, and finished it the next.

With another sunny day in store TLE and I were excited to get back outside and accomplish a few things.  It's pretty cold outdoors until around 10 am, so that is when we usually start working.  On this day I needed to apply the mouse attractant to the 30 some odd mouse traps and redeploy them between the two Newells.  It was the perfect job for early morning to sit outside in the sun getting the traps ready to deploy.

Next on my list was to start the Jeep CJ-5 for the first time this winter.  When we left last Spring I put Stabil in the fuel tank and ran it for a sufficient amount of time to circulate it through the fuel system.  Then I removed the battery and connected it to a trickle charger in the battery room for the house.  It took a few minutes to get fuel up to the carburetor, but it finally started and ran well.  Next up will be to take it for a drive.

By this time it was around noon time, and time to fire up the Ford tractor and drag the entry road to the property, which got chewed up pretty nicely by us when we returned from SoCal, and by Charles and Phyllis when they arrived Wednesday, and left Thursday morning.  It's all flat again, and looks pretty good.....

....once that was done I needed to move the 1969 Chevrolet C50 tilt bed over to the CONEX to add air to the left front tire, and then do a little driving with it that included moving the flat bed trailer Charles uses to move things from Phoenix up to TWW.  I had washed the mud off of it on Monday, and it was time to move it to the back of the property where it is normally parked when not in use.  This is the first time I've tested the new hitch I had installed last winter by Bryan.  Everything worked as it should, and after a lot of maneuvering in tight spaces got it moved, and parked.  I then brought it (Chevrolet C50) back to the garage and parked there so I can begin to work on the rear brake, and running lights.

And with that I declared our work day done at 3 pm. Before heading back to the Newell for the evening I closed up the CONEX, garage and trailer.  After a couple of weeks of getting virtually nothing done due to our SoCal trip, and then the incessant rain after we returned, we've gotten a lot done the past two days, and it feels good.

Thanks for stopping by!
