The Rock Crusher Works

From my walk yesterday (Thursday).  The sun was a bright orange ball through the fog.  For some reason the color didn't show up in the picture.

Yesterday's walk was a bit foggy in places and 56 degrees.  I walked the Farm Loop and around town and walked 5.2 miles.

This morning it was 50 degrees with a mixture of sun and clouds.  I walked around the industrial park and town.  There were a few red winged black birds who didn't like it when I passed by here and let me know it by swooping down at me.  I was glad to be able to snap a picture of this one.

This morning I walked 5.6 miles.

Never did get any time yesterday to blog because my day was a busy one and by the time night came I just wanted to sit in my chair, have my ice cream and watch a little television.

We spent the day up at Happy Trails yesterday.  First thing we did was play around with the rock crusher.  Ken got the part that was needed for us to run it. The  PTO shaft connects the tractor and the rock crusher and turns the fly wheel on the rock crusher.

 The rocks go in the top between two plates.  The plate on the right is stationary and the left moves back and forth on the bottom to break and crush the rocks. You an see the pile of rocks on the right and what they look like coming out on the left.  What a cool piece of equipment.  I love this thing. : )

After fun with with rock crusher we started working on the cabin.  Got most of the right wall done.  This is what it looked like at the end of the day.

We will go up the stairs onto decking where the door will be which goes into a small entrance way.  Then a step up and to the right brings you into the one room. 

After a day of work we went home, got cleaned up and then after supper went to Walmart (not for food shopping) and picked up a few things.  I got some very pale pink baby yarn to finish up a baby blanket I'm making out of weave-its.  I should have it done within the week.

Another stop at the Shop and Save to pick up a new supply of ice cream.  Our favorite brand Hagan was on sale. 4 for $10 so we got 8.  Good thing we have an extra freezer in the garage. : )


Today I've been home doing a bit of this and that.  I've got pizza dough in the bread machine now and look forward to pizza for supper.

I'm going to do a little reading now until supper, or maybe make a few more weave-it squares.

Hope your enjoying your day.
Have a happy one.
