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 [...]

From the garden

MercenaryD | July 16, 2009

To the plate…
That is what we all wait for when we have a backyard garden. Today I was able to get a quick photo of what I harvested before everyone dived face first into the fresh veggies. Now this wasn’t the first harvest I’ve made, its just the one that lasted long enough for [...]

How did you spent your Memorial Day weekend

MercenaryD | May 25, 2009

How did you spent your Memorial Day weekend?
This was a question that I asked myself when I came to the point of wondering just what did I do. I seem to do this a lot. Have you ever gotten through a day, a week, or a weekend and then wondered what it was that you [...]

everyone is trying to make me the bad guy

MercenaryD | May 6, 2009

Jeese… everyone is trying to make me the bad guy when dealing with the old cat.
Yes at 19 shes an old lady. But she seems to have dementia and is mentally about 1 or 2, and is acting as if she was never really a house cat, but a street cat instead.
Just because I’m not [...]

Got my garden tilled

MercenaryD | April 20, 2009

The day before yesterday, I spotted my neighbor out with his tiller. So I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask, “can I get you to till mine at some time?” He started to hem and haw, so I smiled and said “No is an acceptable answer, I just thought I’d ask.” He gave me a [...]

Cleaning up the yard and getting the garden started

MercenaryD | April 16, 2009

After my last post, I looked outside and said ‘what a beautiful day, I think I’ll go out and work on the garden.’ And thats exactly what I did. Bright and sunny, not to warm and not to cold, just right to work up a sweat.
Even with that big log cut-up and gone the [...]

Getting things done on a super nice spring day

MercenaryD | March 29, 2009

I’m a day late in writing this, because yesterday I was just too tired to write in the end and just watched movies till I fell asleep.
Yesterday was one of those, oh so nice spring days, that drive you out side to do yard work and all sorts of other activities. So I finished up [...]

Its spring, time to clean up the world

MercenaryD | March 22, 2009

Its spring and that means spring cleaning!
Well, I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it all… and I just got started. The last week has been super nice out, so I thought I’d go out and start making a list — seeing that its not Christmas, I’m not going to bother checking it twice. But even so [...]

HDTV — bad move for anyone on an antenna

MercenaryD | March 11, 2009

Today I hooked up a HDTV digital converter box for my dad, as he put it it was bad enough that he was forced but after it was hooked up the number of channels available went down as well as quality.
Ok, I know that that wasn’t the intention of the HDTV. It was supposed to [...]
