Cabin Work Weekend


Jim and I went to the cabin this weekend to do some work.  It was a whirlwind of manual labor.

We started the weekend picking up free tree saplings leftover from the Rim Fire reforestation project.  We got 10 Cedar trees and 30 Ponderosa Pines.


Next we took the hounds for a hike near Pilot's Peak.  Someone was already up at the lookout so we hiked on the opposite direction which was fun.  Ahi seemed to feel great after her near death experience last week.  We took it easy on them because of Ahi's illness and Daisy's advanced age!


 Then we re-stained the picnic tables.  Above is before and below is after.  They look great!



These were our "helpers" napping on the job!




Next up was de-winterizing the boat.  We removed the winter tarp, did some engine maintenance and cleaned the inside.  Unfortunately when we took it for a test drive at the lake, it didn't work.  The water pump went out.  So off we went back to the driveway where Jim took it apart again!



The little saplings are so small that I put pine cones around each of them to make sure they could be seen.   I don't want them weed whacked when we do the summer clean up work!

All in all, a good weekend with beautiful mountain weather!
