What did you do today?

[Razorback 1,187]

Today I worked from home..... then just a bit ago made a run to my local dairy and got 4 gallons of milk (SO GOOD!!!), two pints of cream, and a pound of butter.

Continued winterizing stuff.  Today, it was gathering and burning leaves from the front yard (lake side) of the lake house. 

 

Looks to be some Wheel Horse cart work yet to do there.  There is a fair sized pile of leaves at the water's edge.  Will probably be easier to pick them up now, instead of spring time when they will have had 4 months to start to break down into slimy mush.

We're( Mrs. K and me) are now  over 80 and attend the Silver Sneakers stretch, balance, and strength classes at our Anytime Fitness gym three days a week.

Although they receive many grunts and groans, squats are included in the programs.

Does your car have roof racks? And does she have a good grip?

Smoked a couple of brisket flats today for Thanksgiving, Wife picked up a couple at our kid's request so I was delegated to smoke them.  They came in the same package and cost as much as a tire for the Wheelhorse! Put them on at 6:30 this morning.  At eleven I wrapped them in anticipation of the stall when they reached ~162 degrees.  One wrapped in aluminum and the other in parchment paper.  I thought this would be a good side by side test of how each wrap functions.  The aluminum flat was done by 12:30--and had nice smoke ring and super tender.  The parchment piece was pulled out of the smoker at 196 degrees at four o-clock this afternoon.  At this writing, it's still resting but the temperature probes slid into the meat like butter.  

 

I made gravy out of the drippings in the pan below the briskets and ate it with toast for supper.

Same thing as hundreds (maybe thousands) of Wheel Horse owners did today.

 

This heavy snow proved a bit too much for the repair hubs on the C-120, so I switched everything over to the C-141 and finished up. Guess I'm gonna have to breakdown and swap out the differential I picked up. Time to buy more Floor Dry.

We got about 6" of snow last night.  Current temp is freezing, +/- a couple degrees, so the snow is kind of heavy.

 

I dug Tiny Toro Two Stroke out today to clear the driveway and fro t walk.  I haven't  used him in 4, maybe 5 years.  Filled him with fresh 2 cycle mix, gave him a shot of carb cleaner, and we were off making noise and throwing snow.

 

The neighbor kid came over to watch.  He thought it might be fun to stand in the stream of thrown snow.  I stopped, shut the machine down and explained why he was not to do that and why.  Was kind of interesting watching his relays close and come to a realization when I asked him how it might feel to get hit in the head with a rock that was hiding in the snow.

Today, I worked this morning, I helped my father put his newly acquired from his older brother(my Uncle) used side by side in his garage with the 308. Did a garbage run with my father, We took the chairs and tables we used for Thanksgiving back to where we borrowed them from. I also talked to two of my brothers and one of my nephews.
