Just Me Living Life

My new weathervane came in today! It was so easy to assemble and I love it!

A couple of weeks ago I pulled my motorcycle out of the shed to get it ready for the season! It sure was filthy! I gave it a good wash and it looks so much better now! Not bad for a 15 year old bike! It’s a 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100! Despite his age, Ole Red still looks pretty good! And still runs good too! He is now in the shop for an oil change and tune up, as well as anything else my repair guy finds wrong.

After he finished trimming the area, I transported the downed brush into the woods and added it to an existing brush pile. I then trimmed all of the stubs that were left behind and pulled out as many roots and root systems as possible! There were a few small dead trees that I cut down. I wasn’t able to pull out the stumps with roots so I used my battery-operated Ryobi chain saw to trim the stumps slightly below ground level.  I love my Ryobi chain saw! When I purchased it I decided to get the larger of the two chain saws that Ryobi has available. I also purchased an extra battery so we would have two of t...
