Finally, we had some good weather this week to do some road repairs. Monday, while we were waiting for material to be delivered, we mowed and cleaned up the barn and yard. On Tuesday, CR1670 was our starting spot with 125 tons of cold mix to resurface down to the Piney Church turn off. We had to put in a culvert extension for Mrs. Duncan on CR 1468 on Wednesday and did somemore ditch cleaning. Thursday, instead of cold mix, I had 125 tons of oil sand delivered to finish topping CR1670. All the other commissioners use cold mix for this purpose but my foreman says that oil sand is better a better product and cheaper. So-o-o-o we're going to give it side-by-side comparison. Place your bets now! Today we finished CR1670, only to find the pipeline dumps were sneaking around to CR1670 for a short cut. What we didn't catch and make turn around, we'll just add another $10,000.00 to the pipeline bill. If you dance, you've got to pay the fiddler.

  1. Don, i enjoyed reading Friday's post. I got out the county map you provided and located CR1670 and CR1468. Traveling the county roads was a favorite pastime as a teenager. As an adult I still find traveling our county roads relaxing and refreshing. Thanks. J.H.
