Yeah, we might have a shortage this fall.
EPA may ban cocoa mining…..
Oh bummer, life without cocoa.
Some of our flooding Thursday morning. Chaos on the local roads when you shut down a 4 lane highway.
My brother had estimated 7' of water in his one feild. Today he got there to check, not far off. It was all back up water, no current flowing thru to knock it down.

Renovating a house which included demolishing about half of it to get back to the original roof lines. Filled a dumpster with room contents the last renter left behind. We packed that one so hard with a trackhoe the sides were bulged out. A shot of when we started.
The easy way to remove walls. Just stick the forks through and lift. Then I smashed it flat in the dumpster.
From the roof of the next door building when we were waiting for the next dumpster.
And an Erector set we found in the attic. Some collectors agreed the box comes from 1938.

That’s a nice find and in good shape. Did you get to keep it. I found some old embossed milk and medicine bottles on a job in the attic one time. My wife liked these since she has a nice collection of old bottles. Since I have been retired I really miss the excitement of demoing the older structures. You never know what is hidden or left behind. One if my biggest joys was not a find but a repurpose that made me a lot of money. I salvaged 72 raised panel doors most all with glass door knobs and solid brass plates. These were mid to late 1800 style.
I did get to keep the set. Interesting to build with, we made a windmill the first time we played with it.
That’s a nice setup. I got a good deal on a Brinly two gang set. I had to put a cement block over each cultivator to get it to work good. I really like them.
It will be interesting trying it out next spring.
It’s nice to see somebody turning some dirt. It looks like it’s doing pretty good. Yeah some weight makes them dig in more. I use a double gang Brinly with two 18” cement blocks works great. I just dump the blocks near the garden for next time.
