Doug was here shortly after 6:30… so much for sleeping in on a Saturday.  With me doing the cutting in and caulking and Doug doing the rolling, by 11 we had put almost two coats of primer on the shop walls and soffits.  “Almost” because I had procured 4 gallons of paint and we really needed 4¼.  I’ll fix the holidays with the next painting session, scheduled for some time this coming week.  After lunch, I took the snow blower off the tractor, put the backhoe back on the tractor, moved the backhoe outside the woodshed garage, took the backhoe back off the tractor, put the front loader on the tractor, used the forks to move the snow blower into the woodshed garage, put the 3-point hitch on the tractor, loaded the tractor onto the trailer, and gathered together all of my logging paraphernalia… all in less than two hours.  This guarantees, by the way, that we will get 2½ feet of snow week after next.
