Feb 1 2019 Dorothee heading out cross country skiing to the woods.

Dorothee doing dishes. Our water pump got frozen and broke the casing so for a short tim e we had no water. Luckily I had an older casing and in a couple of hours we were back with water, but it really tired me out carrying the pump up from the well.

The clipper seed cleaner being worked on. It is a lot of work to get this rebuilt. I just pretty much finished the variable speed system. Yes there are new bearings and shafts too. I can only get an hour or so every day to work on it as there are many things to do with the chores and equipment repairs.

Carlos using the new hay tedder. This really helps fluff up the hay but the machine is very old and in need of lots of work.
