The weekend was full of projects!

First of all, we finally kicked off the equipment shed/garage project!
Yes, we levelled a site, felled a big tree (so that it doesn't fall on
our shed), measured and sited out the footings, and finally, dug footing
holes like gophers. Nick didn't have quite enough rebar to finish all
the footings, but we'll be heading back up tomorrow evening to ready
things for the footings concrete pours on Wednesday.

The schedule will be to lay block Friday afternoon and Saturday.

Dick Opsahl -- we'll need to borrow that electric mixer after all. We'll
be pouring concrete into the block piers.

******************

Kermit is just about done, I think. I just need to hook up the battery
and to put back on the cab, and it's ready to be transported to Dave
Wykoff's place to have the new [smaller] cogs put on. I have yet to
start it, so I'm not sure how my wiring job is, but I think it is
correct. We'll see.

It looks brand new again. Hopefully, it'll behave brand new.
