Been Busy

 Finally got all the Christmas stuff taken down and put away. Of course, the bad things about taking them down is the fact it's usually cold outside and it was this year also.

So, everything came down and all the Christmas and Halloween decorations went in the new shed. The Christmas stuff at one end and the Halloween stuff at the other end. It took up a good bit of room though if I need more room, I could take a few things apart and put in tubs. Things like deer, 5- or 6-foot-tall things etc., etc. But for now, there is more than enough room until I end up buying new stuff next year. Anyways, that's all done.

Let's see, I did buy a hamburger press to make my own hamburgers. The one I would have liked to have gotten was about $100 so I went with the cheaper one which is good enough being I'm not planning to make 20 hamburgers at a time. So, will see how it goes when I pick up some hamburger this week.

Cuisinart CABP-300 Adjustable Burger Press, Makes 1/4 lb to 3/4 lb Patties

Adjust the thickness to your liking with the Cuisinart Adjustable Burger Press! Add your ground meat and press down to make a perfectly packed burger patty. Turn the dial to adjust the thickness of your burger! Its durable cast aluminum material is non-stick and easy to clean. Line with wax paper or plastic wrap for an easy transition from creating your burgers to placing them on the grill or in the freezer for later enjoyment. All burgers will be 4 ½” in diameter. Burger Thickness depends on the amount of meat used: 1/4 pound = 1/2” thick burger patty, 1/3 pound = 3/4” thick burger patty,1/2 pound = 1” thick burger patty, 3/4 pound = 1 1/4” thick burger patty.

Also got a new cover for the gas-powered log splitter. As of now it's covered with one of those blue tarps which so far hung onto it and hasn't blown off. The worst part about the blue tarps beside being cheap, they are kind of hard getting to cover and held down on a weird, shaped object. Anyways... I got it on with bungie cords and so far its staying in place. I'll probably put the cover on this Thursday.

Universal Dimension – Porch Shield waterproof log splitter cover is for 15-45 ton log splitters, with dimensions 95"L x 50"W x 50"H to fit most gas / electric log splitter brands.

Premium Material – Made of heavy-duty polyester to protect against rain, sand, snow, dust, and other harsh conditions, with a reinforced tarpaulin (weighting up to 9.5 pounds) at the front, significantly reducing the risk of tearing.

Stable Windproof – Designed with an elastic hem at the bottom for a snug fit and matched with 3 windproof buckle straps at the bottom and back to prevent the electric log splitter cover from being blown away.

Large Air Vent – The air vent on the log splitter cover allows for airflow and reduces internal condensation.

Quick Installation – Slip the tarpaulin cover over the front of the log splitter, then pull the cover backward and wrap it up. The elastic cord will quickly adjust it to a snug fit. No excessive adjustment is needed.

The last thing I got was an electric chainsaw sharpener. I use a file and guide which works ok, but it's not the best it's kind of loose where things go together so it's not perfect, but it does help when the chain needs touched up. I went to pick up the electric chainsaw sharpener today but as my luck would have it, they didn't have one, so I had to order it.
