It was a crazy weather week here in Central Missouri. It was cool last weekend, then it turned cold for two nights and we got some snow, then it warmed up and rained Friday and Saturday. Sunny today headed for a high in the mid 80°s.
I have a feeling the two nights of sub-freezing weather wiped out my chance for apples and peaches. Those trees were in full bloom. Now, not so much.
My battle with the Bird Feeder Gang continues. Chicken thief #4 and chicken thief #5 now have a new home in my freezer.
Made a little progress with Mr. Clarence on Saturday, but I’m fighting a Woodruff key that’s stuck in the lift control shaft. I’m not ready to admit defeat quite yet, but it may come down to the smoke wrench to get it apart. The cylinder head is back from the machine shop with a nice shiny set of new valves, seats, and seals.
Been finding some morels, but they have been few and far between. Ran across some beer can sized yellows yesterday down in the river bottom. With the moist soil we’ve got and a few days of warm temps there’s still a chance for a bumper crop.
