Good morning!!!!

[Thall303]

I had put a game cam up on my front porch more than a year ago to catch a bear wrecking my feeders. Never got the bear but...
I did find my drunken farmer neighbor out for a ride over my front lawn...lovely. I just got back from his house, doing a Christmas good deed by fixing his hugely potholed lane, for the second time. Glad I didn't see this pic until I got home...but it was over a year ago. I'm surprised that Farmall ran, usually sits in his lawn.
Otherwise all I got were over 2000 pics of me riding around on the lawn mower and surprisingly going in and out the lane, plus every UPS van too. Took almost 3000 pics before it ran out of juice.
Oh, two deer and one racoon. Surprisingly, the squirrels did not trip it.

Beautiful lawn

Good thing he had the 3 point up

Your neighbor did you a favor when he didn't drop the plow and drag it all the way across your lawn. Your good deed today was just really late payback:laughing: Now think how guilty he feels with you being so nice to him after pulling that stunt. But probably not.:confused3:

Really nice photo though. What kind of camera (make and model) is it?

They say it's hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys.



Well this here baldie didn't seem to be having any trouble keepin' up with the buzzards. Didn't seem to be happy about it though, with all the twitterin' and screechin' goin' on. Caught this clowin' overhead yesterday as I was gettin' ready to head into town. Not bad for a phone pic.

It's a joyous time of year for most but also a time of loved ones passing away.
The top two months for folks passing away are January and December.
An emotional time, mostly for the good. But it's when I remember who isn't with me any more.
And count my blessings for those who are.

thanks. The funny thing is that his primary tractor is a first gen JD, 21 something, 45 hp diesel, in clapped out condition, all the tin is missing, fuel pump doesn't leak, it gushes diesel down the side, and the hydraulics are shot such that his 3 point just floats, won't pick up at all. Doesn't bother him, he just drags a large heavy chisel plow around the yard like that. Now we are talking two acres of what was once lawn and now is a sea of boneyard junk. Dozens of old lawn mowers, nothing works, never threw anything away, just piled it up on the lawn. I took some pictures today and need to go find that camera, of his lawn and all this ancient farm equipment piled everywhere. And I had to get my Kubota through it to the other side to get the dirt for his driveway. A genuine obstacle course.
So yeah, he might drag his chisel plow over here, hopefully not down my paved driveway :shocked:

I had just reseeded the area he was driving on. The part closest to the house...

I wrote this a few years ago for an article in a newsletter, not sure if I ever posted it here.

Is there any adult that can honestly say that they wouldn't love to wake up Christmas morning and for just an hour you were eight years old, your mom and dad and brothers and sisters were there. The package with the Fanner 50 in it ready to open, mom in the kitchen starting the turkey, dad packing his pipe with Cherry Blend and watching the fun. The smell of the cedar tree, the wood stove smoke drifting past the windows half covered in frost, the excitement as thick as the fake snow sprayed on everything. Just for an hour...

Great story, Randy.

You bring back great memories...I also got a fanned 50...didn't get much better than that.

Good Morning! 45 F @ 5:30AM. Rain likely. High 41F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%.

Buckeye, when I cleaned up the saw I have for sale I reread the operator's manual, and it recommended basic carb settings. I used those and now it seems to start a bit easier, but then I haven't run it out of fuel as I usually do for storage. Not too worried, as it has E0 with Stabil in it for good measure, and I hope it's gone soon, but maybe some reading and carb tweaking will help with your starting problems?

And speaking of chainsaws, the cap Stihl uses locks down in only half a turn. But if the cap isn't all the way in before it's turned, it can appear to be sealed when it's not. If you're in a hurry, or tired, or don't see well, the first hint you may get that all is not right with the world is a sticky bar oil mess. I like the new caps a lot more than the fine thread on my old 031. They were easy to cross thread, which led to the same leaking problem, and sometimes it took a new cap to fix the leak. The old cap also didn't have the string thingy and was also a lot easier to lose in the grass and weeds.


TGIF gang!

Redneckgeek, I missed it I think. What saw are you selling? I'm watching for one to complement my Stihl MS250.

That reminds me ... I put up a camera in the barn about a month ago to catch my gas thief. I need to check that tomorrow.

Have a great weekend, gentlemen (and ladies).

That sounds interesting, keep us updated.
