Summarizing 2020

Here is the current state of the cabin.  Diane and I are resting outside

Recording 2020 things

• CORONOVIRUS PANDEMIC! –  Very little travel this year
• Rotator cuff tear – Sept 2 and took until now to recover (still not 100% range of motion, but close)
• Cruise – Run-For-Fun with Randy and Jeanie,
• Attended Zach and Rachel’s wedding in Bryson City, NC. Visited Asheville too
• Visited mom at her place in Florida in January
• Mary Schettler died in November. Her sons Jared and Greg visited in the summer on their cross country motorcycle trip

Around the property

• Rebuilt the bridge with PT decking, stained the new rails
• Installed rolling firewood rack along the back of the garage.
• New culvert going into the upper meadow
• Took the old culvert (2 pcs) and put one near the garden and the other in the woods past the swamp where the stream crosses the trail
• Put boards on the exterior of the cabin – Still not doors or insulation
• Moved the roadside tank down to the sugar house and rerouted the lines under the road – easier to monitor and clean
• Moved the vacuum pump outside to reduce the noise level
• Added 500 more taps – brings us to over 2500
• Cleared the large oak trees that blew down 2 years ago near the back of the property. We kept most of the big logs and have then near the sawmill
• Opened up a new trail where these trees were down
• Sawed up several large logs for Ryan McNall
• Relocated the VAST trail to avoid the steep hill
