Fence is next on the list. Thanks Pat. Cheers!

Good to stay busy. I'm playing hookie today. :) Cheers Dale!

Thanks Lloyd. I've been wanting to get all of those garden tools out of my shop. :-)

I do plan on doing a video on the little shed build. Thanks Gary! :-)

Thanks Danny. So far it's been a good spring. :-)

Thanks Chris! I'm looking to get as much done during this dry weather as I can..tomorrow I'm starting on the wooden fence and going to try to get it and the little tool shed finished by the weekend if possible. :-)

Thanks Jeff, been waiting all winter for this! :-)

...long after I take that dirt nap! :-)

@@Daledavispratt o.m.g. I love you.

Yes sir, my list is getting pretty long. Thanks Pat.

Here too Dale.

Sure thing, thanks.

Thanks Cam..Chuck was a treasure to us all.

Chuck was a special guy..

Sure thing, Mark. Thanks.

Well said, Harry.

Amen

Yes, our youtube circle lost a major inspiration and good friend with Chuck passing on.

@@Daledavispratt Yeah it's tough when we lose someone. We just lost my baby brother, he would have been 51 this past Wednesday.

@@mostlymoparih5682 My goodness..so young. I'm sorry.

@@Daledavispratt Thank you. Yeah it's tough for those left behind. I wasn't sure where Peter was with the Lord but shortly after he died someone informed me that he had given his heart to the Lord so that was very comforting. My wife always tells me, God is in control and it's in Gods hands. He is the best one to make the right choice but sometimes we want things to be different. I remind myself that Peter is in a better place than this crazy world we are living in. Thanks again and have a great day.

Thanks Cecil..a very special person, he was..

Thanks Gary..he knew the end was coming soon for him and even in that he set an example for us..a wonderful man.

For sure..just listening to him talk in that tone he used had a very relaxing effect on me..and always made me smile.

He was a true gentleman and a very down-to-earth soul, Chris..

Chuck sure was a soldier, Dan..in a literal and figurative sense..and one of the kindest people I've ever known.

You bet, Lloyd..we've all lost a special friend in that man.

..and probably getting faster internet speed there :-)..my heart is with you and your family, Melissa.

He was cast in a unique mold, for sure Ron..

@@Daledavispratt He sure was

Me too, hon.

Thanks Pat! All of my dogs have been rescues through the years! Cheers! :-)

You are not the only one with Spring fever, my friend! Seems as if winter gets old a little faster as the years go by! Cheers, Pat! :-)

You're right Dale! :) Cheers!

I'd say it's about time for another vacation, my friend...now you sound like ME! Thanks and cheers, Pat! :-)

I usually get a couple weeks in the fall & the spring when it gets a little slow. Didn't really happen this spring & looks like it's not going to happen this fall either, but that's kind of my vacation I guess. Cheers Dale! :)

I understand about being busy, Pat...just don't get too busy to live! Cheers buddy! :-)

I always take time out every day to smell the roses. I used to be a lot more busy before 2002 when I changed jobs. Used to work 4 jobs every day. Washed windows, went to cook at Anthony's, cleaned the building at Allen Lumber company, then cleaned the Passumpsic bank on Railroad St. It's a big bank too! Almost 24 hours sometimes. Other days it took me until at least 2 - 4 AM. I always left the house at 8 AM. Makes a person wonder, where'd all the money go? LOL! So, I'm kind of semi-retired compared to what I used to do. :) This year, I'm taking it even a little more easy. Nobody can do it all. I don't even try anymore. :)

Pat, if you are semi-retired now...I can only imagine what it was like before...wow! Smell those roses, my friend! :-)

Yes he sure is, and it looks great on the shop wall!

I'm a "keepsake" buff, for sure. Thanks Chris!

Hi Chris! We planted that bed this spring with 2 year old crowns and mixed a LOT of compost into the trench we dug, and our soil here is about the best I've ever had the pleasure to garden...did a video of the process and it will be worth the effort, I think. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate that.

amazing at how quickly you get used to it, and I'd miss it if it was gone. Happy you watched, thanks.

People have been known to make an extra youtube account or two... :-P

I hear you, but keeping up with one is quite enough thank you.

You are right about that. Before I had room to garden like I do now...was a regular customer at our various farmer's markets...great place to get locally-made honey, too. Thanks for the compliment! :-)

I intend to make my own pepper sauce with a lot of them and bottle it. I am using a LOT of a commercial pepper sauces now, twice a day with lunch and dinner and my "bad cholesterol" numbers are half what they were a few months ago...to healthy levels according to my doctor(s). I don't know if this responsible or the fact that I've really been watching what I eat...or maybe both. My heart surgeon recommended the peppers (though I've always been a fan, just not to this extreme) and eating as much chlorophyll as I can possibly stand, which turns out to be a lot. I can't imagine going through heart surgery a second time...so call me "scared straight". 65 pounds lighter than in January and feeling pretty darned good now...had to punch a few new holes in my belt, though. Thanks for all of your comments, Bruce. I'm really happy to know you watch my videos.
