Our list had a lot of little items on it. Good thing we had some extra time because almost everything required some fixing before we could work with it. This little roto-tiller wouldn't drive but after some tinkering, we found the cause and remedied it. We spent some time on top of the shop getting limbs cut off. Then David put a little paint on the rusty spots. We got the blades off the bush hog and sharpened them. Then I pulled a blade off the zero turn only to find it was in good shape. We moved some of the equipment around and I got the sprayer ready. The pump driven sprayer needed some repair to work but we got the orchard and the driveway sprayed.
So overnight we had a significant amount of rain. The next day we waited on severe weather to develop. We had a short opening to go into town and purchase some items we will need for next time. But the rain persisted most of the day allowing only a couple of walking breaks.
So Friday morning everything was sunny. We took this chance to check on things in the barn. The water flooded up into the barn. We plowed a trench to take water away from around the barn. I'll do more when the ground is dry. I'm hoping for a dry work week next time.
