Fed the cattle, then put out another roll of hay & 2 mineral blocks.

Worked on troubleshooting Mrs. Ranch's computer... it's been 'locking up' recently (I don't think it's not the RAM related). I did notice some video issues, so I installed a proprietary driver instead of the one installed by the operating system. We'll see if that corrects the problem.

Continued working on the greenhouse windows.

Met with the new septic system guy & made arrangements for the system to be cleaned out tomorrow morning.

Made bread.

The honey pot crew came & cleaned out the septic tank so I'm currently refilling it with fresh water. Waiting on the new septic system guy to show up to do a complete system check.

Finally finished removing the old chalking from the greenhouse windows so I could reapply the new chalking.

Prepped & smoked a very lean bottom round roast for Dieter's snacks.

Cut a whole pork loin into chops & vacuum packed them.

Made bread.

Took Mrs. Ranch's jeep in for an oil change, lube & yearly state inspection. Then topped of her fuel tank.

Did the weekly shopping (stocking up in the event things get stupid). Dieter's got a 4 month stash of food so he said he's good.
