After cutting and stacking firewood for so long I took some time to do a little landscaping in the chicken yard. Other than some removing of sticks and other small detritus, the biggest thing was running the lawn mower over the high grass that was taking over the yard. Since the ground had plenty of time to dry real good, I felt like it was as good a time as ever to move the Mustang Chicken Coupe into its new home. Since the car was moved earlier to a temporary spot along the driveway when we had to remove the tree that fell, I had to move the car somewhere since it couldn't keep sitting there along the driveway at the edge of the clearing. So in an impulsive push I got started, using the F250 truck to pull the car up the driveway some to get it staged. Since the driveway moves down at a slight grade, I figured that pulling upstream will allow me to use gravity to push the car over into the chicken yard. After pulling the car upstream I went ahead and started pushing, again, using gravity to help me out. I wanted to back the car into the yard so the nose of the car is showing where its kind of more decorative than having the ass end of the car showing. That actually worked out pretty well, I was able to get the car rolling with little effort around to the fence into the chicken yard. Now while the car was kind of perpendicular to the downward angle of the land, I would have to use a little more push to get the car into the yard completely. With a little extra kick I was able to push the car further into the yard. Turning the wheel as needed I was able to back the car in perfectly where I wanted it to be. After docking the car in its spot, I found that the car didn't even need to be chocked to keep it from rolling away. Ground was level enough to keep it where I wanted it. The spot where the car's docked is right between a couple of trees with plenty of room on either side to maneuver around when its time to clean the car out. The passenger door can be opened as needed and there's more than enough room in the back as I didn't back the car against the fence line.
