Brrr. It cold outside. I made split pea soup and a chicken soup today.

Just remembered to put the soup on the fridge, luckily no meat just veggies and broth.

Just ran out and put covers on 4 of the iytside water faucets .

Hope the 2 in Austin fair ok.

Yesterday the dishwasher started leaking. Last night I pulled it out to see why. It was the water line feed. Leaking at the garden hose connection.
This morning about 7a I went up stairs and turned off the kitchen hot water line.
I changed the gasket and the damn thing still leaked. I ended up running to thorndale hardware to find they didn’t have the part. I headed over to Tim’s in Thrall, he had the part. Put it together and all appears good. Will run a test load one dishwasher is full.

As long as I had the dishwasher out I. I’ve the shutoff valve this was successful right away, ok if I would have remembered to install the hammer suppressor. Lol

Today was kind of productive.

I put fertilizer on the in ground citrus trees. Trimmed weeds around another row of fruit trees. I also trimmed the fkad pole and front crape myrtle trees. I watered Susan row in garden. The side bed and the pomegranate tree.

Susan lft about 1p an I went up and finished the tar on the shop porch roof.

Although yesterday was Saturday I did work on the yard. I cut about 25% of the field and a few other little things. No work on shop or other projects. I didn’t grill as planned but did cook chicken and pork. Some went in the freezer.

I started with working on the ATV/UTV aka the ranger. 
All batteries are back in, 3 bad for charge, 2 bad terminals.   Looks like I’m replacing 8 batteries and that is more $ than I had anticipated for this.  I might have trashed the charger also, adding another $1000 to the bill.   I still need to decide on sealed agm batteries or the lead acid that are cheaper. 
Then Susan and I went for a walk in Taylor and visited the park.   
Once we got home we walked and looked at the trees.   
Then we cut some mesquite trees.
I completed the day with sealing some of the flashing of the shop porch roof.  Might have it done in one more day of work on it.
