Thanksgiving 2022

http://www.kantamotwani.com/mjyvxwkt4x We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year, everyone here but Emily. Patty started early in the week making sides and generally preparing the feast, the picture below is from the evening before. Me & Patty started the day by attending Mass and giving thanks to God for everything we’ve been blessed with, which is quite a bit.

Buy Zolpidem Overnight Due to popular demand we decided to go ahead and fry two of the turkeys and bake the third traditionally. Since we had the fryer out we ended up also deep frying french fries and onion rings and boy were they good!! There was also a request for kaiser buns so we ordered some from a local bakery.

see While we were frying food the farmer began harvesting the soy beans, boy does that guy work hard. Short video below.

After dinner we all were pretty much in a ‘turkey comma’. A few other pictures from dinner time below, click to enlarge.

First Annual Friends-Giving

https://comercialfuentes.com/kqgqrxy We invited a bunch of folks from St. Patrick’s over for our first annual Springfield Farm Friends-Giving this past weekend. My brothers Mark & Steve came over Friday to “prep” for the first day of hunting.

enter Folks started arriving at noon and very quickly it became quite busy, kids riding scooters and bikes on the driveway, hay rides, chowing down on a very large amount of food, folks brought some delicious dishes. And of course the bonfire, cuz, well, we’re all pyros at heart. Below are pictures of a large number of minivans parked, and people generally chowing down.

Patty’s 57th Birthday

http://www.kantamotwani.com/6aux08yl4 We celebrated Patty’s 57th birthday today. All but Emily was able to make it, the star of course was grandson Harvey. Tried out the new 10×20 cabana pool side, shade was just right.

Rifle Sight-in & Pool Party

Buy Cheap Generic Ambien What originally started as a meet-up with St. Patrick’s friends to sight in rifles thankfully blossomed into a full-on summer pool party with a number of wonderful families from St. Patrick’s church. Big thanks to Ryan H. for helping to organize.

Late Friday afternoon I thought it was just going to be Ryan and one family, but it seemed to quickly escalate that evening, which is fantastic. Since the pool was built by a swimming pool builder, we’ve been talking about doing this all summer and we just never seemed to be able to get our act together. Friday night Patty asked me casually how many people were coming, I said, well, I think at least 3 or 4 families and I’m pretty sure they have a minimum of 3-4 kids each. That perked her up! Us guys were planning to just order pizza or the like, but the wives pretty much took over the food and got sandwiches, chips, drinks, etc. Much better than if the guys had organized.

Rifle site-in went well, although a little hot. Found out Ryan has an incredibly steady shot!

It was a big surprise to see Adam W. and his family come and make an appearance with baby Alphonsus, who was literally just released from the hospital!

Unfortunately neither me or Patty took pictures so I snagged some shots off our home security system, click, to enlarge. You can see the pool was a big hit, but so was “atv tour”, and the bonfire.

We’ll have to do this again the weekend before we close the pool for maintenance via professionals like Energy Efficient Pool Pump Manufacturers.

Snowblower Arrived

I concede that I will likely not use this very often, but I want to be ready when I do need it. The driveway is 1/2 mile long and if it isn’t cleared there is a valid safety concerns if 911 ever had to get to the house.

I purchased a WoodMax SB-72, a 72″ wide PTO driven blower made in Buffalo, NY. Here is the link: https://www.woodmaxx.com/product/woodmaxx-sb-72/

Delivery company said it was going to arrive last Friday but of course it didn’t arrive until after the storm. Trucking company left it on the pallet at the gate. The package weighs in at almost 1000 pounds so in addition to the pallet forks I put on my bush hog for some counterbalance weight.

By the time I was done I had move three front attachments and two rear attachments in order to get at everything I needed and put the tractor back into snow clearing mode. With a strong northwest wind blowing I’ll wait a day or two to assemble this beast.

Burn Baby, Burn!

Just as the snow started I started lighting up the four piles of brush. Three of them really burned well, the fourth not so much. I called the county EMS first to notify them in case any neighbors started calling 911. Three of the piles were mostly cedar trees and really burned well, after I splashed them with a bunch of diesel. Aside from making sure the fires don’t get out of control, the biggest task with brush piles this big is constantly pushing the burning pieces into an ever smaller pile to keep things nice and hot and maintain the burn. Even though it was snowing quite heavily and then ended up raining the piles were still smoking the next morning. I spent all day pushing the piles up. Temperature outside was 18f most of the day and by evening I was spent.
