15 November 2018

Just before noon, Chree and I returned from six days at Alex, Katy, and Devin’s.  Shortly thereafter, I espied Mike Many out by the barn, taking down and taking away his staging and other assorted weapons of mass destruction.  Mike finally saw, and approved, the cap I had built for the top of the cupola.  After discussion, he agreed that, if he finished the cupola metal roof down at his shop this winter, come spring, it could be hoisted onto the top of the barn without damage.  So I fired up the Kubota and forked the cupola down the road a half mile.  Then I spent the rest of the afternoon converting the tractor into a snow-blowing machine, as the forecast is for 6″ – 9″ of snow tonight.  Wait, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!
