Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 71F @ 9:45AM. A good deal of sunshine. High around 85F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.

Just got the last of the motorcyclists off on his return trip; he came all the way up from San Diego. Really great guy, very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We found a lot in common, and after all the others cleared out yesterday, went for a nice ride up the canyon. Beautiful weather, almost empty roads, and lots of water in the Feather River. The return loop was closed due to snow, so we came back the same way, and it was just as much fun.

Seems like fewer repairs and maintenance is done each year during the event, and even fewer participated this year, probably due to the Easter weekend and threat of rain. It did rain, boy howdy did it rain, and lightning and thunder, too, and it was close. But that came late in the afternoon Saturday after all the campers had their tents setup, and most of the work was done, so we just rolled everything into the garage and took seats to watch the show. By six PM the sun was back out and we enjoyed a pretty sunset while dinner was served. Good food all around, good company, and a fun time for all.

But now I think I need a good long round of recovering.:laughing:

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

I really need to find an old car to put one of these in. :thumbsup:
Hard to find anything with a powertrain that would hold up, basically have to replace everything.
1000 horse power.
wonder if it would fit in my truck...as my torque converter lands in the next field over

hiller on, all the potatoes hilled, trying to rally one more time to go do some light tilling with Gravely, forgot to wear headphones while driving Farmall, head is roaring away now, will sure wear them if I go out again.
But then, tomorrow is another day. Chair sure is comfortable...

69 now, cloudy and breezy with that big storm just off the coast. Ellen keeps banging her hand on stuff, because she doesn’t sit still for a minute.
We took down Easter decorations, went to the grocery store, made appointments for my shoulder and Ellen’s finger. Going to dinner with friends tonight.

Buppies, get better soon, for everyone that has an issue, prayers.

That's a good-looking field, Drew. Nice work.

85 here today. Day started off at 45.

I’ve spent the whole day in the bed with a stomach virus. Youngest one had it Friday night and I woke up with it last night. Helper is taking care of birds. They will be leaving this weekend.

Wife’s at dentist getting her mouth guard fitted. She keeps grinding her teeth in her sleep.

I run those bar tires on my ZTR. Once you get in the habit of making a 3 point turn on each end then you will love them. If you’re one that spins around you’ll be replacing divots. I run mine backwards. They have less traction but still more than turfs. Besides if you slide into a muddy area then you are more likely to back out. If I slide into a small ditch then I turn and cross instead of trying to back out. Success is in the 90% range.

Drew nice field.

Randy hopefully Ellen’s hand heals fast. Dad broke that same finger once. He got his wedding ring off before the swelling set in and didn’t have to have surgery either. His break also had a spiral to it. Wasn’t clean. His happened at work though. Had a 17 year old inmate start swinging a large wooden plaque he’d taken off the wall.

151 pounds of collards delivered.
I'm bushed....
but neighbor called, has time to put the discs on the Super A so back out I go. Need to rehill the potatoes.
make hay while the sun shines....

I have never weighed collards, but I will on my next pick.

One ounce (1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked) is a serving size so you'll picked 2,416 servings. Wow!

The only real slopes I have are my septic mound, so my turf tires are pretty good. But these garden tractor sized 23/10.50/12s on the Kubota work a lot better than the 18” tires on the old Simplicity.

Ellen straightened her finger herself as soon as it happened, before the swelling got bad, when she tried the ring it was already too late.

Our town library has a textile exhibit this month. This was one of the all fabric displays.
Four walls or layers of netting gave it a realist 3D look with fish on each layer.

Made it home, 2045 miles round trip, and doing it again in 3 weeks. Brought back some of their stuff. Oldest graduates then, if he passes his discrete math class, lol. It's kicking his a....

Anxious to go to work to hear about the buyout....
