Mechanical skill +1

Learning mechanical skills with an adjustable wrench.

The mechanic brought the bush hog back from having custom work on it, and Esme helped Daddy put the A-frame back together as it needed some adjustment to be hitched onto the tractor.



Bush hog welded and custom parts replaced by Douglas Auto, Huntingdon, TN
The original frame was half this heavy, and the blade set was no longer available so he had a local blacksmith custom craft a new set using the old ones.

Other notes://  Made a pair of school pants, discussed making a walrus toy during this weekend.  Her behavior has been better - I think the teacher is doing more math?  I can hope?  There was an 'extra-looking' sheet of how to split seven many ways in her folder that looked handmade and she was proud of - but told me the circles should have been apples and she was upset they were not looking like apples.  Did a science 'experiment'  where we counted leaves, measured them, and wrote down the numbers on a chart.  She was surprised to see that what she called the smallest leaf was almost the same height in centimeters as the 'biggest' leaf.. but the biggest leaf was four centimeters wider.  She looked hard at that.    We also did a lot of housecleaning today while little one was at school and about five loads of laundry.  Maybe the cold/flu/ick that had me the past two weeks is subsiding some.
