Week 46- Oregon City - November 14 -November 20, 2022

Some people may say that I post too many photos of the woods and trees and logs and burn fires etc.  But.....here are more.

Last spring I pulled up a lot of branches that I had gathered summer of 2021.  I have been waiting until the perfect day to take on the project of cutting them up and tossing the pieces into the basement.  On Monday afternoon, Dad helped me complete the task.

Done and gone!

On Wednesday we had an unwanted visitor......Fishers Supply from Canby.  Our water stopped running again...just like last week....and, yep, we needed a new pump.  The workers pulled up 200 feet of old pipe and determined that the bearing had worn out in the pump.  A new pump was installed along with newer/better modern plastic pipe.  Only cost $5,000!

I attacked another big project in the area of Bottle Creek and Bottle spring which was formerly know as Log Creek.  I changed the name because I have dug up uncountable numbers of intact bottles which had been thrown into this "dump" back in the 40's, 50's, and 60's.  Dad cut this massive fallen maple into smaller pieces which I was able to pull up out of the creek bed with the ATV.

Yep, that's what I do.  There still is a BIG chunk left that still has too much mud and bottles under it which precludes using the chainsaw.  I will have to work on that!

I ordered and received a fancy photo scanner to begin my new project of organizing a lifetime worth of photos.  I also ordered an external hard drive.  I sounds like I did the ordering....but really it was Ivan, my IT Specialist, who was doing all the thinking.

Ray ordered trim for the back door.  I painted it.

Val came down and installed it.

I still have a lot of touch up painting to do, and the screen door needs to be installed again.

Warren visited one morin and brought a new brownie creation he made  delicious!
