(Above: It took a little bit of effort to move the two 10′ and one 12′ 6x6s, but I’m glad I did. The deck railing process has begun.)
Active Summary: Today I woke up at 6:30 AM and found that the sun was already up. It turned out that Daylight Savings had struck while I slumbered, so I quickly rose from bed, dressed, and ventured outside to meet Padre for a ride around the beef pasture. The morning proceeded somewhat normally from there, consisting of some calisthenic exercises, creative writing time, and some cattle work.
To finish off the morning, I made some preparations for the front deck of Jacobhouse. This comprised of my moving, measuring, and marking some 10′ – 12′ long 6″x6″ posts for Wag to chainsaw at some point soon. There will be six 38″ posts for the top of the deck (attached via lag bolt through the expanded steel), while two 62″ posts will be utilized for the base of the stairs’ railing.
(6:39 PM Update:) Tended to a multitude of farm activities this afternoon, including: feeding calves, tending to a few recipient cows, pitch-forking feed, and checking the beef pasture with Padre. This was ensued by a small amount of garden work where I found that I could add an extra row by filling in the gaps at the south end. I think that the southern row will be dedicated to root vegetables, because they do not tend to grow very tall and will not shadow the other vegetation. It should be noted that I also had to fix the sliding door to the Jacobhouse bathroom. It fell off the track at one end because the little piece that holds the door onto the wheels broke (it was a cheap piece of plastic). The problem has been remedied for now, but in an effort to make sure the event does not occur again, I intend to add a dollop of construction glue to each place where the door connects to the slide-wheels.
This is where the top of the door connects with the little ‘trolleys’. Notice how this side has a plastic piece. 
This side sadly does not have a plastic piece anymore. I shall be especially gentle with the door until I add a couple dollops of construction glue to both door-to-trolley connections.
TIL: Today I learned that even though bevels and carpenter’s squares have existed for centuries*, the Speed Square was not invented until 1925. The newfangled instrument not only combined the functions of a few prior advanced squares (combination / try / framing squares), it also included a ‘shelf’ on one side which enables it to be utilized as a saw guide for 45˚ and 90˚ angles.
Commentary: This morning was about 7˚ F cooler than the prior two, but the dispersing of the clouds and the sun’s resultant appearance has since warmed the day up quite pleasantly. Nevertheless, the chill mornings did make an impression on me, and I’ve decided that on tomorrow’s town trip (more in Final Note), I may procure some tea. I feel that a good hot beverage may make for a pleasant alternative to a near-freezing diet soda while engaging in future morning ride-arounds.
Lunch today of grilled burger-steak, shrimp, and creamer potatoes. Served with a tasty side salad. 
The moo-magic compost stand is ready for more customers. 
I would have filled in the central and west rows, but I could only fill in the east row before it got too dark to work. The time change will take some getting used to.
Final Note: Tomorrow morning I plan on venturing to Publix and Home Depot with Madre. There, we shall procure a bootbox for Jacobhouse’s front deck, some lag bolts for fastening the deck railing posts in place, a rake / sprinkler for the garden, and groceries that cannot be procured at the farmers’ market (including tea).
*Carpenter’s rules / squyres have been mentioned in texts as early as 1250 AD. Some excellent history about this tool can be found here: Steel Square; also known as “Carpenter’s Square”.
