Thought I'd do it early this time. Belt/hoses/antifreeze/oil/filters and tires on vehicles.
Boring but at least I'm ahead of the game...start with dove next weekend and
go from there.

Might come sooner than you think, supposed to get in to the high 30s here tonight. Global warning missed us this summer thankfully.

going to be awhile here yet I think.. and hopefully for the farmers...

our temps this week have been in the mid 80's (which is hot for here) and the lows are forcast to be in the mid 50's..

I am hoping for some cooling temsp while I am on my elk hunt next week.

it was 38 this morning at 6 am, but 71 right now. Farmers here don't need an early frost that's for sure. Crops got in late due to wet spring.

been a little cool in the mornings here and I'm not complaining. Fall weather in NE is awesome. Cool morning 60's in the day, its the best. Its nice to find a old pine tree and take a little nap.

Heck, it will be December before we see cold weather here. Won't freeze until January sometime.

Getting ready for winter is making sure I have 5-6 cords of wood split and stacked.

Oh yeah, got about a cord and pantry has bout 3-4 months of cans....
with wood burning restrictions....that's more than I'll burn...3 20lb prop tanks.
Think I'm ready....freezer is 1/2 full but I'm making room for elk!
