We've been ditching with the Drott. Working on its air system. It's been giving us a lot of trouble. It doesn't like the cold weather I guess. I took it to Pine Hollow Veterans Day to clean manure out of our road ditch. Matoons spreader unhooked and came down the hill, rolling over and spilling. Changed 3 driveway culverts in town and installed one on Town Line road. Graded and added gravel to some of our back roads before winter sets in. Then put plow equipment on. Mark and David have been replacing
and repairing road signs. Seems to be never ending. Al's done a little mowing and patching. Our winter duties have started slowly, that's a good thing. New pickup is waiting for filter pipe and gas cap/ Should be in soon. The auctions are about done with, maybe we should try sealed bids.
