Spent my whole day yesterday tearing down the pig run and house in 104 degree weather. It was awful. All I have was a hammer, pry bar, and a power drip with a a few bits. Lacked much of the correct tools so a lot of brute force was used. Was as careful as I could be though as I was trying to salvage as much wood as I could as wood is not cheap. Took me a whole hot miserable day to get the thing broken down. Now the process of piling the trash and stacking salvage on this 105 degree day such a fun time for me.

Also note don't have a pot bellied pig as a pet those suckers are horrible. Destroys everything, stubborn, have to watch you back around them as they get a wild hair and find the need to try to tusk you(have to have a lot of respect around them way stronger than they look) we just got rid of the one that came with this house got much too aggressive and destructive. I was glad as now I can clean the back yard up and get it looking nice

Please try and be careful out there Pepper...
cutting down trees that size is not the type of chore where one can become complacent.

Rental company informed me that they have a flat tire.
Probably late PM pick up now.
Dam it!
No detecting for the Pepper again. ☹️

Okay so there is a higher power that listens to whining pirates.
The lift is gone, and so am I off to play in a little dirt.
Stubble is better than 🌳.

I wouldn't doubt it. The sucker would try to eat and drink anything it could get ahold of. Had a inclined sit up bench out there and he ate parts of it then destroyed the rest. I was not pleased

I may have posted this before but a cool item I inherited from my grandmother. A medal she earned and by what I know she was quite proud of. Don't know much about it but looks neat.

Good afternoon hope everyone is having a good day today.

1951. The medals were first awarded in 1922 for boys in Pennsylvania, and in 1925 for girls. The initial categories, or points, that boys were judged on were courage, scholarship, service, honor and leadership; girls were judged on courage, scholarship, service, character and companionship.

I am pretty careful about it. I come inside and get water once I feel I'm getting overheated. It was highly uncomfortable taking about the second level of the pig hutch in the heat. Sun just beating down on me was not fun. I'm glad all I've got to do today is move stuff around.

All the talk about pot bellied pigs reminds me that I need to start eating healthier.

When I lived in MN, Ne. Nd, and Mo we always went and cut our own Christmas trees from a tree farm.
