It seems we are having a slow week. Maybe everyone is getting restless. I know I am. Just when I think we got some nice weather to go nude in, it suddenly gets cold and nasty out here.

It's all we can do to keep the house warm enough. Hot one day, cold the next. Stomach viruses seem to be hitting everyone at one time or another. I know Kevin and I had it, my whole family got it a few weeks ago.

So hang in there, Spring and Summer is coming!

Peace to all,

Boyd

Spent this morning going to another Saturday morning estate sale. Then wife and I took off to Spotsylvania (just south of Fredericksburg) to check out the route for next Saturday's Bible Bowl. Not bad, about 65 miles and right at 1 1/2 hour. Great country going up 22, 231, 15 and 20 and finally onto 3 to Spotsylvania. Lots of nice, open horse country on 22, 231. Expensive properties. The movie Widow on The Hill was about the Cavanaugh family there in Gordonsville.

Went naked hiking after we got home (just me). The other day, I bush hogged around most of my black walnut trees. Discovered I've about 20 down there after clearing away some vines and all. I plan to keep it cleared underneath their drip line in hopes of rescuing some more walnuts from the squirrels. Made all kinds of bush hog mistakes and even ended up with a flat tire in front. That was a good excuse to buy an impact wrench and a set of impact sockets, as I didn't have the right 1/2" drive socket to fit and those bolts are about 140 ft-lbs. Got an impact wrench that's loosen up to 550 ft-lbs. Some tractor stuff has bolts tightened to 450 ft-lbs. Slimed the front tires for (hopefully) no more flats there, unless I poke a big one.

Could you enlighten some one from a different part of the world who thoiught he spoke your language, What's bush hogging????

A new US farm animal, hasn't been exported yet. Huge, like a large cow or bull, only a giant hog that is designed to eat bushes, etc.

Seriously....


Farm style tractor with a rear grass cutter attachment big enough to tackle bushes, high grass, fields, etc.

Think of a giant hog that can eat through bushes...bushhog.

Tevita,

It's the same as a slasher in your country. I always got a kick out of seeing those signs: "Slasher ahead". My mind immediately translated it into "flasher ahead". I was disappointed every time.

Saturday was wonderful, 75 degrees clear skies an a gentle breeze here in central Mo. So out the back door and up the hill into the woods we went, the whole family, off to a couple of hours of nude hiking, the rest of the family went back down after just a couple of hours, but I remained up there to do some cleaning up for the season, and deciding how much farther that I want to expand my clearing this year. I've got a lot of nude work in the plans for this year, I'll sure be enjoying my work.
