"Thank Goodness"

I was starting to run out of things to do!! Since we put this roof on 4 years ago I've head at least 3 significant issues. Clearly we had some bad shingles, at least 3 or 4 bundles. They appear to have the appropriate amount of adhesive but they just don't stick! Kinda frustrating!






At the same time I'm grateful that I have the time, and thanks to son Jon, the knowledge, to fix it.







Actually I need to do it properly in the spring cause I shortened the top shingles rather than tearing the caps off. It was still breezy up there this morning, and while thankfully it was above freezing. this old body doesn't bend too well in the cold....just like the shingles.

And yes I guess it was obvious that Colby and I were riding in the combine with Farmer Bill on Saturday. I gotta tell you, it is an impressive piece of machinery. It mows down twelve rows at once, and everything is computerized and GPS controlled. It has a joy stick and a touch screen, as well as 3 on board cameras. The best part however is that it's quiet and comfortable, and Bill, Colby and I shared hours of great conversation. I learned a lot from both of them!

Computrainer long ride...2 hours
