Finished the Genesis grill & ops checked it for leaks. All that's left is to reseason the steel plate that I use for hamburgers & thin steaks.

Watered the trees, crape myrtles, & the flats/pots in the greenhouse.

Fed the cattle & put out another roll of hay.

Started moving the plants out of the greenhouse unto their respective porches.

Cut 5 heifers & 1 bull out of our herd for delivery to their new home.

It's a chilly 55 degrees with a drizzling rain (0.06" thus far).

Grandson came to feed the cattle for us & to show me the hog he shot last night.

Did the computer maintenance on my computer & made backups.
