Time for the much needed rest again. Things have slowed down quite a lot and I think it would be an approiate time for a little "breather". Besides all that-- it's time for me to kinda take stock of our situations and rest a mite. LIl Dumplin and I will be headed to Ohio this week anyhow. She has a day of school Thursday so we'll leave Wednesday A.M. Return late Thursday nite I guess.

Many "projects" are goin through my old brain and I'll have some time to at least think about'm a little more. I think the first is the "tater peeler" that came to mind the other night. Almost got it figgered out how to build't. Groundsource heat and a/c, heat is next. Gettin the old Home Comfort wood cookstove home is another. Fix'n the H International tractor and completing several things I have in different stages of completion. Still some others are completed and need to be promoted a little.

Winter will be here before we know it and I "ain't" ready for it--as usual!! It appears to be another winter of high heating costs again and the economy is in a downturn on the farm. Wood heat is lookin better and better all the time. I don't think I'll use it tho. I'm fix'n to fix the woodburnin furnace in the shop to burn used motor oil. A real handy way to dispose of it and heat the shop too!

Ya'll take care and as my old pappy used to say --"Hang by the Willers"! We'll be back online in a few days unless He tells me someting different. Be extremely careful this Labor day weekend. Many lives are lost on our nations highways each day and this coming weekend will be much worse as it's the last holiday of the summer. Jesus is coming back shortly. I'm ready to meet Him--are you?
