Whatcha Up To???

[w_r_ranch]

Fed the cattle & put out another roll of hay.

Pre-drilled the holes for mounting the lettering & Texas Stars on the new sign. Now it's ready to be primed, so I did the backside of it.

Watered the plants in the greenhouse.

It was 32 degrees this morning, but it's a sunny 55 degrees now.

Flipped the new sign & primed the front of it.

Assembled a small shelving unit for the herbicides that I store in the garage.

Put a light on my flag pole that was a Christmas gift. Talked to hunter on the ranch behind me. They have not shoot anything. Too many acorns plus stray dogs running around. Full moon hasn’t helped this week.

Another nippy 34 degrees here this morning, but it's sunny & got up to 50 degrees this afternoon... I'll be glad when the wind lays down.

The paint on the back of the new sign is dry, so I flipped it over & applied the 1st coat to the front side.

Finished making the sourdough bread.

Sipping on some good tequila we picked up in Mexico. Best tequila we’ve ever had. At $125/750 ml, it better be haha.

Went to the doctor's office to have my blood work done prior to my yearly wellness check.

Received 0.26" of rain.

 

[w_r_ranch]

Still intermittently drizzling here (0.02") & a chilly 47 degrees. It's an ugly day...

The final coat of paint on the sign is dry, so I started installing the the Texas stars & the eye hooks. Then started dry fitting the new lettering to make sure everything lines up.

 

[whistech]

I sure hope you post some pics of your ranch sign when completed.

 

[w_r_ranch]

I can do that whistech. In the meantime, here's a preview of it before I get started today:

Permanently mounted the lettering on the new sign. Tomorrow, when it's cured, I will turn it over to Mrs. Ranch so that she can paint a few sprays of wild roses on the ends (she likes artsy-crafty stuff).

Going to harvest most of the broccoli and cauliflower ahead of next weeks front. Last year I did not, and lost everything. I have spinach and cabbages also. Got my fingers crossed for the onions but I’m not real optimistic.
