Broken Tractor and Broken Spirits

Not much to report while still waiting on parts for the tractor. Did run into a bunch of witches though.

With the tractor still down, I am limited to what I can do at the property. I am still waiting for a replacement radiator to come in so I can get back to clearing the underbrush for the building. I also wanted to get some of the pasture fencing done but would need the auger to drill some post holes for the gate. I was able to get some T-posts in the ground but that was as far as I could get at the moment. I will be picking up another roll of fence this weekend to at least get that portion of fencing wrapped up. I did take the broken radiator out of the tractor but not sure how long its going to take to get the replacement radiator in, it is currently on backorder and until I have it on hand it will be slow-moving in that area.

On another note, this morning we went into The Bay looking for some bottomless mimosas for breakfast and in our quest, ran into a strange sight. There were witches everywhere at 9 am on the main strip. The Sanderson Sisters were even there. And some of them were pre-gamin pretty hard for being in the AM, I wasn’t judging to bad as I was looking for bottomless mimosas. (I was successful by the way) So apparently there is something called the Witches Walk that happens on the last Saturday before Halloween in The Bay. Its just a bunch of drunk women dressed as witches that take over Old Town Bay St Louis until the wee hours of the night. It is still going on strong as I am typing this well past dinner time.

Spent the better part of this week getting back into the groove of doing schoolwork. Word of advice to the young, get college out of the way when still young and you have fewer responsibilities. This is miserable. Trying to juggle a full-time job, family life, and building a house all while living in a portion of someone else's house is draining, to say the least. It will help latter in life if you ever decide to advance your career beyond being a grunt. So many corporations hold the piece of paper in such high approval. I personally don’t see it, but if I want to ever move up from my current position, I need it. I work with so many people with a Bachelors in management and they are horrible managers. You can’t teach some things. That is not for every career, doctors, lawyers, and chemists, just to name a few still do need extra learning beyond high school. But C’s get degrees.
