For the past 3 weeks all I have done, is work... and eat. Nothing exciting for this ol' pirate... until Wednesday when I get off this rust bucket.

Today I get to steam clean the floors of our new house and old house. And then get to work with the project list of the admiral before we have the 86 birthday party for my mother tonight. Fiesty old bird will probably outlive us all (her mother lived to 99 and only passed because she was dropped in the hospital)

Mixed drip torch fuel. Met FWC Biologist in regards to a site visit they want to make for a new biologist. Ran up and got a new battery for a piece of equipment. Spent a couple of hours with Prescribed Burn Coordinator planning a burn for late April. Spent some time wandering through and around 25 acres we're planning on burning tomorrow ( Wednesday ). Filled burn authorization request after spending a bit of time reviewing weather in regards to smoke from the burn......and a few other small things....

Just got back from my Tally Widows house after 7 days. I'm drained dry , Pecker needs a break badly. She's a dang sex nut. guess 7 years of no Pud really wakes a woman up when a Viking walks in the door Going to take advantage of this last of the cooler weather and head to the woods to set stands and clear shooting lanes for next September. Got to do it before the Heat and Yellow flies come out .

Wife's still in hospital so I didn't bother to turn heat on. Woke up to 36 degrees. Had to let it warm up before making coffee. Called the wife they figured out what was wrong with her. Infected colon and diverticulitis. They couldn't get her BP down today it was 207 top number. They got it down in the 140s. So she might can come home tomorrow. I hope so.

Woke up yesterday to a phone call my daughter and granddaughter were in a wreck. Daughter has broken arm and granddaughter has busted lip. Car totaled.
Some young girl pulled out in front of them. They're alright, just stiff and sore.

Mackeral and STC our prayers for your wives.
Ferris glad the accident was not worse. That is something I worry about for my grandkids. The oldest one is 14 and he is along way from being ready.

I hate car accidents, just tough on the body. Hoping for quick recoveries.
Watching loved ones in the hospital is tough. Hoses and lines make it worse. Chin up, let em know you're there and prayers for the best.
This morning was a blur of meetings and such. Afternoon only has 1 meeting which should be quick. Can maybe get some work done. Taking a few days off last week has me more productive right now - see if it lasts.

Wife got out of hospital finally. 5 days is to long for something like that took 4 days to figure it out. The Drs name Ogunfowora Oluwatob. A mouthful I think she was African. Pretty too.

Brought sis & BiL to a-port to ship them home. They got there fine.
At work - did some shopping and replaced the reel that went overboard last Thursday. My wife said my grief of the event went thru the major steps - OMG!, anger, tears, more anger & tears, disbelief & anger & tears, to shopping rather quickly and that I'm healed. Bought a Shimano Speedmaster II 12 & 300 yd spool of 80# braid. And an Electric safety flare for the boat - emergency orange flag & bright flashy thingy for night.
Not sure I'm completely healed, time to find a nice rod for the Speedmaster...

After filing a burn permit application for today we went and checked the 26 acres we torched yesterday. While Louann set a few traps for the homeschool group kids to pull tomorrow when they come for a tour I ran over with the tractor and disked around the units we planned to burn today.
After BOTH of our help bailed on the burn for today we adjusted and at about noon set off a small 13 acre piece. Finished up the burn at about 4:30......and then spent about 30 minutes on the phone answering questions for a WUFT reported about prescribed burring.
Then....realized that I'd forgotten a guy was coming to buy a 3 point rake so had to go deal with that.....
Finally......at about 6:15.....Louann and I piled into one of the electric carts for a adult beverage infused ride over to have a look at what we burned yesterday.
Tomorrow......we've a homeschool group coming for a farm tour. And somehow Louann found time to go set a few traps for them to pull during the tour.....

I can't think of too many things that are more satisfying than surveying a successful burn, restoration planting, etc. You are certainly living the life!

I can't think of too many things that are more satisfying than surveying a successful burn, restoration planting, etc. You are certainly living the life! We ( Louann and I ) got at another couple of small sections on Thursday and then today had a homeschool group from Gainesville ( Somehow tied into the Florida Trail Association ) come for a tour. Weather gave us a break as it quit raining at about the time they arrived. Nice folks.......encouraging. Sunday.......we've the Environmental Caucus of the St. Johns County Democratic Party coming. And in a few days a group from St. Johns Riverkeeper....then the Duval County Chapter of the Native Plant Society. We humans have a lot more in common than the political professionals who would divide us would allow......and if we are polite to one another, don't call names and advance the issues we agree on......well.....things get better.

Today the race begins. We accepted an offer on our current house and today we start moving all the crap from the current house to the new house, 3 blocks away. We like where we live, what should have been a 23 minutes walk with the dog took about an hour, stopping and gassing with the neighbors.
Question, why do women have to have 6 different sets of dishes complete sets. I cant have six sets of tools, but I guess we should not talk about rods....

My Mrs counted 157 rods and reels under the house once. I can’t complain about anything she has since.

Cleared the last of the beekeeping equipment out of the barn.
Packed it in the "Beatermobile" and off to a beekeeper swap meet.
Breezy & cold ... managed to trade for some honey & sold some woodenware.
Several volumes from the apiary library found new homes, but not much else.
Parked next to a multi-yard operator, a sugar water tank filled the back of his truck.
( No honey at all ... they produce "nuces" - laying queens with workers & brood. )
Our last colony swarmed away several years ago, and we decided to take a break.
Hot, in full suit, on a ladder, holding 70 lbs of honeycomb overhead was getting risky.
But, then again, walking out on a breakwater with multiple rods is probably worse ...

Drove to Bushnell to look at a Ford Mustang with my son. Total POS. Son learned a valuable lesson. Don’t buy other people’s problems.
