Another day, more progress. We had a stretch of picture-perfect weather and have been enjoying it. This time, I'm making progress on the mud pit outside of the lean-to.

Also, BPo3 now has outside cats. Jamie's uncle has a stray cat in the neighborhood who had cats in his shed. He's a good guy, so he started taking care of them and wondered what he would do with them all. He's keeping momma cat, and Jamie and Tyler Kay got two of the three sister kittens. I don't know how old they were when we got them, but they were just starting to eat solid food. We all agreed that the girls could have any animals they wanted if they cared for them. I've got too many irons in the fire as it is, so I don't want to take on any more time/caretaking obligations. Meet Myrtle and Sarah. Myrtle has a black eye patch, and Sarah has a full black eye mask.

JK Boots:

Hands down, without question, the best outdoor working boot that I have ever tried. They aren't cheap and they aren't inexpensive. The break-in period was brutal for me. But after some boot oil and a few working days for them to conform to my feet, I've never worked in anything as form fitting and comfortable. I wore mine all summer and immediately realized how comfortable they are after being forced to switch to a mud boot when the wet season hit. Once we get the extreme mud under control the rubber boots will get the boot and I'll be back to good foot comfort in my JKs. I have the O.T. Bison - Canyon. Yes, the JKs can handle mud, but excessive full submersion in mud is unnecessary. They have a good sizing system and you can order different sizes for each foot if necessary. JKs are an investment, for sure, so I wanted to wait until I had 6 months of experience before I promoted them. THUMBS UP. Here's my affiliate link.

P.S. I am terrified of elevators. I am going to start taking steps to avoid them.
