Farmtek Clearspan “Buildings”

January 4, 2007

We bought one of those temporary ‘tent” garage things from Farmtek to store hay in. This was pretty much an act of desperation because we weren’t here to do anything else. We finally got it assembled today and a hay drop is scheduled for Sunday. In our particular circumstances I have to give it a [...]

After we could barely move from exhaustion, we soaked off the grime in the whirlpool tub and then [...]

Scenes from Above

May 10, 2003

We had such a busy day today. Frank had a few things that he really wanted to get done out there, and it all got accomplished in about five hours worth of work. First off, he needed to get the new chipper out of the back of the truck. I really didn’t want it backed [...]

Kind of under control

March 26, 2003

Things seem to be coming together, albeit slowly. I finally got a hold of someone clueful at Godaddy. It seems that the .ORG registry was just recently yanked from the slimy hands of Verisign (details on request. Countersuit if Verisign harasses me.) In the process, Chuck seems to have fallen on the floor, at least [...]
