electrician ranch hand

A few weeks ago I ran an Ethernet cable from the barn to the tractor garage, and from the tractor garage to the inner gate for a pan, tilt, zoom security. While feeding the cable through the underground PVC conduit between the tractor garage and the inner gate I discovered there is a Romex cable the previous owner provisioned but not used. What a shame to leave it unused.

There is this one pine tree that I have been reluctant to cut down as it is a perfect living Christmas tree, both for its form and location. However, its location had became a curse because of the new barn. It is in the pathway of the approach to the barn. When I have the Sprinter Westfalia motorhome with the car trailer in tow it is where a tight turn while part of the road train has not clear the inner gate.

dim sum style pork rib mass production - part 1

My favorite pork rib is Cantonese dim sum style. I was shopping at Costco and I decided to buy a pack of St. Louis style spare ribs. It is a big package as always from Costco.
