7.21.2019


Did everyone celebrate National Ice Cream Day today?  I don't know - might be a bit too warm and cause a messy melting situation!  We may have a little bit for dessert tonight though.

The new spring for the lawn mower came in today so Jim put that in this morning.  While he was working on the mower, he changed the oil as well.

Then he went back to work on the stump.  This is how much Jim has done around it and it still won't come out!


After continuing to work, he finally got it tipped over!


That is one enormous stump!


But getting it loose is one thing - now he has to get it out of the hole.


The stump was so big and unwieldy - Jim would get it dragged up and as soon as he tried to move the excavator, it would fall back in.


Continuing to work...


Finally able to drag it out a bit...


Finally out of the hole!


That is one crazy stump!  It left a crater in its wake as well!


Jim moved the excavator and brought up the Bobcat with the forks to grab hold of it...


And carrying it off!


 Next step was to move the smaller stumps that he dug out yesterday and put them in the hole...


He was able to get that area cleaned up...


 Then he started filling in the crater, working the stumps around to make them fit and get them buried.


Wow - looks great!  Jim said he'll need a little more dirt but it's more than good for now!


Jim had to knock off early and start tackling the grass cutting - it had really gotten long in the time the mower was out of service.
