Promotions / Financing Offers - Yanmar Tractor
ya know, if they offer the same promotions and financing deals to US and Canada together,
I think L4N has a right to squawk at Yanmar for not including Canada on this free tractor deal.
I bet it's a matter of follow the money. Maybe Canada's import duties are much higher than ours. ?
Maybe the tractor costs too much in Canada. That's my guess.

Meanwhile, that would make a very nice around the yard tractor for me, though the little Massey would then go.
Because so many times I wish the little tractor had a small loader. Gardens, mulching, so many uses.
Like what TxDon is doing right now navigating around all those flower beds and people and stuff left on the ground
where it doesn't belong...hazards to tractor navigation. Like driving in the big city...

Good morning. 36 going to 43 or so today. And forecast to be dry for 2 days! Yesyterday was a mess.....4 of snow, some freezing rain, then rain. It was a sloppy mess.

Made the flash drives yesterday for the school next week. Presentations are all done. All preparations are complete. No Chinese fire drill trying to get ready at the last second. I like that. Plus I have a co-worker who tends to shirk some of his responsibilities that I was able to throw under the bus 2X yesterday and volunteered him to actually do his job. It was a good day.

I woke up to a message this morning from the racer I help. They used a picture of him last summer to announce AMA Vintage Flat Track schedule for 2019.

The kid is a star.

Time for another cup of coffee and get my butt moving.

Everyone have a safe and good day

Lanai rafters in place and simpsons secured.

Good progress :thumbsup:

Hadn't realised the Simpsons were staying with you, but why did you have to secure them ? Homer causing trouble again ?

Hope everyone is doing well. Congratulations on all the birthday and wedding news. Currently 70 with 82 and sunny in the forecast. (Spending a few days in Florida.) Just getting over a killer chest cold, probably should have drove to the ER not down the east coast. LOL. Hope everyone enjoys the day! Will be spending the next few hours catching up with all the post.

The livestock equivalent of an Uber taxi is booked, now just enough time for a cup of tea before he comes. Ewes are are quite a size and need extra careful handling so late into pregnancy, so he will only be able to take 50 per trip up to a friend's farm for lambing. It is not much more than a mile, so making 3 trips is no real hardship and it is plenty warm to wait outside for him to return, 15C/59F.

Thanks for all the info on fishing through an ice hole.
Ron, I thought the yellow disk was a Frisbee, to help pass the time when the fish aren't hungry. Wng, hope Coco wasn't too disappointed by that revelation.

26 and going to a high of 28°F. Wind WSW 8 mph. Flurries.

It has been snowing all night. I will go out and plow later this morning.

Have a good day all

Drinking first cup of coffee. 33° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 36° with partly cloudy skies. Never made it to shop yesterday. Wife's list of honey do's took care of most of the day. Not sure what my plans are for today. Just took a look outside. Walkways and drive are a sheet of ice. Need to put ice melt down.

Buppies, hope you get tree removed and power back on soon.

Eric, I thought the sheep were herded down the local road to the next field in the UK. I am sure someone posted pictures of the event.

Drew, I sign up for the Yanmar. Looking only needs to drive over the river to check it out at my place. That's if I win. Trying to remember when I won something.

Don, good post on heart attacks. As the city has moved out our my way we 3 hospitals that are fully staffed. A TBN member is head of the ER at one of the hospitals. The question is whether to make a quick 7 mile run to hospital ER or wait for the ambulance that is 7 miles away in other direction.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

For those that asked about the recipe for Southwestern Shepherd's pie...I asked the chef (my wife) since all I do is eat it. Pretty simple, real good on a cold day, and different from regular shepherd's pie...

Myla's Southwestern Shepherd's Pie

1. Brown 1 lb meat (she used ground turkey, but previously used ground beef...she doesn't like lamb - I know Eric's flock will be glad to hear that). Add some cumin and chili powder, or Mesquite seasoning.

2. Drain and add 1 can of Tri-mix beans (black, pinto, kidney)

3. Add 1 can or half bag of frozen corn

4. Add 1 16 oz jar of green chile sauce (this is the magic...we haven't been able to beat the flavor of Hatch Valley sauce that we've ordered from 505 Southwestern in Albuquerque, but they've been bought out and shipping cost is sky high now...I guess my job will be to make up my own batch).

5. Blend and simmer for about 10 min.

6. Put above into glass casserole dish

7. Top with mashed potatoes

8. Top with grated Mexican cheese blend

9. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and cheese melts

10. Thank the lord and the chef. Eat too much and enjoy.

Billie, that痴 not Shepherds pie unless it has lamb,it痴 cottage pie. I値l try the SW version, doesn稚 sound bad at all. I already use the Mexican blend cheese in mine.

Buppies, I have a tree down and can稚 get out, too.
