Work… in garden

MercenaryD | June 5, 2010

Well I’ve got a truck coming to finish up the last of the jobs I had this spring. Haul out the fire wood and deliver it to where it needs to go, and to pick up the equipment on the way back threw and deliver it to my place. Then I’ll finally be able to [...]

Wow, where to begin?

MercenaryD | May 31, 2010

Where oh where do I start? Its only been a little over a month since I wrote here but a lot has happened.
The job that I had, cleaning up the woods, have come to an end for the season. I cut a good 10+ face cord of wood the 4 days that I worked over [...]

More on work

MercenaryD | April 22, 2010

  Hard work that is. 5 hours with no breaks, except when you refill the chain saw. Well not quite that bad, there are 30 second breaks all the time. And it is only 2 days a week. And the person I’m working for, the land owner, is nice and good to work for. Too [...]

Working again or at least for a time

MercenaryD | April 15, 2010

I keep taking these long breaks between posts. But thats because I have been trying to be busy. I got a job that is putting some of the equipment I bought to work. Clearing out dead trees from a back yard. Its not the farming that I wanted to be doing but at least I’m [...]

Spring is here and do it yourself work has started

MercenaryD | March 22, 2010

I’m glad that I didn’t go and buy that pump for the lawn mower. I got the motor to turn over enough to see it the darn thing was pumping, it turned out that the pump is good and that the carb needs to be rebuilt. Although I’m not sure if its the electronic part [...]

Time to open a Chinese Restaurants?

MercenaryD | February 25, 2010

 
Chinese Restaurants have gotten the short end of the joke stick And I guess that I’m no different.
Kim was making dinner when she pulled out a Pot-of-Kitty… well a change of dinner plans? Katsoup? Kitty-Chou-Main?
Me thinks its time to start the restraunt….

Long time with no update and stressed out

MercenaryD | January 21, 2010

Wow I’ve let a long time go since the last time I posted something. Well, if you couldn’t figure it out, I’ve been busy. Busy trying to make up the money I spent on all that equipment. Which isn’t going to well. What money I have left as well as most of the money I’ve [...]

New Old Equipment

MercenaryD | October 25, 2009

The past few weeks I’ve been picking up some equipment to help me in expanding my gardening into small farming. The difference? Gardening is for personal use and farming is for profit. Not to say that a garden isn’t profitable, but one can’t make a living on just a garden even if one can live [...]

Fall colors – get them on film before they are gone

MercenaryD | October 11, 2009

  The cold is apon us and so is the leaf peeper season!
Well, it would be if the leaves weren’t all falling to the ground so fast with all the storms we’ve been haveing. We are starting to see bare spots on the hill sides scattered throughout.
Now that I’m done with River Fest fot a [...]

Ouch!

MercenaryD | September 25, 2009

Ah… This sucks!
I hurt my finger… A nice deep gash, two actually right beside each other. From just below the last knuckle through the quick of the nail, almost an 1/8 of an inch deep. Now its bandaged with a nice throbbing sting to it. My arm is tired from keeping it up above my [...]
