With few exceptions, all of our land is either uphill or downhill depending on which way you’re traveling. :)
Draining my 300’ hose set up is easy-peasy - disconnect and lay it down on the lawn as the hydrant is at the top of the rise.
This is also the reason that all of the ‘really good dirt’ is down in the pasture. Decades of soil erosion have provided that bounty, though we now have production field contouring practices in place that slow it down. Gravity always wins!
(Just take a look at my sagging neck, LOL!)
It is 25 degrees here today a couple of inches of snow on the ground. Wind really blowing and a couple more inches tonight. No matter how ready we get the garden ready for winter, my body is just not ready for this cold. They are saying 19 degrees tonight. Just not ready!
Beautiful day .... “feels like” temp (41) is about 10 degrees lower than actual temp (51) because there’s a decent breeze.
So I just HAVE to tackle the garden cleanup at some point, but “my” golf cart isn’t working, not even charging. Mom has a golf cart with a little trailer, but all my tools, that I need to take down fencing) are on my golf cart (formerly dad’s workshop on wheels). I have figured out a way to pull a “sled” behind it & I can haul pretty much anything in it. It’s one of those big black pans for mixing mortar (large size) & I attached a ring to it, just run a rope through it & attach to the golf cart.
I was hoping one of the battery wires had corroded because that would be a relatively easy fix - the carts are old enough that’s starting to be an issue, but I just have not had time to even check it out .... today was the day. Sure enough, one of the wires is corroded off - in fact, when I took off the nut that holds the end of the wire to the battery terminal, there was nothing there to take off - the metal had corroded down to nothing. I had ordered a set of wires for mom’s cart (she’s had two battery wire ends corrode) so I took one from that kit & fixed the broken cable on my cart. Cleaned the terminals well, put on some anti-corrosion spray. When I plugged the cart in, it looks like it’s charging. Fingers crossed it charges up & runs ok - I really need my cart - trying to borrow mom’s is pretty difficult because if she’s outside, she’s using it.
