OK. It would be the end of the week if I were not on call. I look forward to not having the phone in November! Going to get the fencing and take it to the property. Then Bring the trailer back here to start loading again.
We will try to make it to the HogEye fest in Elgin this weekend.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH BANKING!
I just was informed that there is a limit on ALL savings accounts limiting to 5 electronic/phone transfers per billing cycle. There is a 10 fee for having more than the 5 in a single billing cycle. You can do whatever you like with a checking account but not a savings.
It seems that they want you to put the money in the checking and lose out on interest unless you want to do a lot of physical transfers at an ATM or at a bank window!
I was told that this is a Federal law since 911 but I am sure that if I wanted to do something illegal I would find a way. This is just another one of those laws that will keep the honest paying more and dishonest finding another way to do what they want. Sounds like politics to me!!
I will answer any questions next time I talk to you.
Just pissed me off and I needed to vent and share.
Hope you are having a good day. Talk to you next time.
Another one gone
Well I looked for shadow again today and there is not little fish body. I guess the coon or bird got away with taking another one. 🙁
More work less relaxing
We arrived Friday after dark. Brought in the perishables get ready for Saturday.
Saturday was OK. We pulled lots of sunflowers and ragweed. Susan was stung by two red hornets/ wasps when she got too close to a nest in one of the ragweed.
Put in a light in the shop but found that the location I was going to connect it to is shorting out as the the metal is black. I will need to rewire that before I can install it.
Did put in a porch light and it looks OK. I found it needs a cover that would have been there if the ceiling was closed. since it is not I will fab one for it.
The on call phone for work is a pain in the ass!
Rethought what I can do for the service loop. Looks like code wants SCH80 and I have S40 utility but will be getting Rigid metal to be safe without question to the code. I will see if I can get anything done on it tomorrow.
Then just relax and see what that is like.
Today Sunday. Re verified some things for the loop and it will be done in metal. Not sure if I get the electrician and have him install the the posts or not. Still debating on the at one. Left at 12:45 and arrived home at 1:45 as usual one hour.
Did I mention the on call phone for work is a pain in the ass!
I looked over some things to include the pond and have not seen shadow in over 10 minutes! I need to go look again to be sure.
Still trying to find an inexpensive way to install the loop at the ranch.
Did I mention the on call phone for work is a pain in the ass!
Looked at the weather and I need to add water to the pond and look for shadow.
I am sure I mentioned the on call phone for work is a pain in the ass!
