A lot went on at the off grid homestead this day with me running the roads and getting stuff for our property.

In the morning I went off with a friend who helped me bring home my new boat. I sold the other one and used that money to get a better one. On the way back to our place we found a load of stuff on the side of the road which we loaded into my friend's truck.

When I got dropped off at the homestead, some other friends were there waiting for me with a trailer load of fire wood. We emptied that load and then hauled two more loads of cut and split fire wood for our tiny house heating. We also got a free picnic table which they wanted to get rid of. This will be nice under Melanie's tree.

After that my other friend returned and we got some free double pane glass windows which I will use on the roof of the greenhouse. I am considering making these adjustable to be opened in summer to let the heat out. They will probably go on top in order to seal in the winter warmth since they are double pane windows. Up to is where most of the heat will escape and the extra insulation of the double pane glass will help a lot.

The brake pads on the Buick were starting to scratch so I ordered new ones with over night express shipping. I was attempting to remove the brake calipers when a bolt broke off inside the caliper itself. A new one costs $100 and I dont get paid till the 22nd.

I also do not have the tools to remove the bolt myself so I am a bit stuck here now. And I figure the other bolt is going to break off as well based on how it feels.

I got the Olds running again and transferred insurance and plates to this vehicle for now. It leaks transmission fluid and I cant find the source of the leak yet. But it least this one drives for now and we need a car for emergencies with a baby now walking in our home.

I hauled over and stacked some of the fire wood but the day was getting late and I did not get too much done.

The day came to an end as I was still hauling fire wood in the near dark so I decided to go in for the night.
