Eric thanks for the tobacco link. Interesting about the protein, I wonder if you can just put tobacco leaves in a salad, has anyone tasted them?
Drew you are the only one I know with access to tobacco leaves.

Good Morning!!!! 63F Sunshine and a few afternoon clouds. High around 85F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Marijuana has probably replaced tobacco as the crop with the highest return, Drew. That works on several levels...:laughing: Makes me wonder how long it'll be before big ag moves in takes the market away from all the little mom'n'pop growers.

Found a plug had come loose from the fuse panel on the van yesterday, explaining the loss of horn and headlights, and intermittent behavior of fuel gauge. Easy fix, but only because of a hunch that it would turn out to be one of the last few things I'd worked on. The fuse panel doesn't come out easy, and I was lucky that the plug chose that moment to part company completely, instead of continuing to partly cling and hide the problem.

Got a good start on wrapping and securing the engine wiring harness, something I'd been dreading. The ex-mechanic had left a real snakes nest of bundles and fine wires going everywhere, mixed in with vacuum and, as I would learn by mistake, fuel lines. Yep, gas everywhere when I mistook one for the other. Got the worst of it sorted out, so there will be no more shiny spots where bundles have been rubbing on the axles and the smell of burning plastic from others resting on the exhaust headers. I need more electrical tape before I can finish. Did you guys know that 3M electrical tape comes in at least two thicknesses? Gonna try some of the thicker stuff to see if it sticks any better than the 33 stuff I've been using.

Then I hooked up the cigarette lighter outlet I'd installed in the dash more than a year ago so I can keep the phone charged while traveling. Finished the day by washing the floors again, which had become filthy from sitting outside. Think I'll try to find some old mats to put in this morning to save the paint from more damage.

This morning I'll put some gear in the van and drive it to a camp out with the VW bus and motorcycle group at a lake just north of Placerville. Since the inside of the van is still rather bare, I'll be taking a tent. Won't be much different from going on a bike, except for the larger tool box and big ice filled cooler.:thumbsup::laughing:

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

Its 28° for the low this morning. We had rain showers off and on most of yesterday with a high in the mid 50's. Today is going to be partly cloudy and a high in the low 60's and the wind 20-30 mph.

Happy Birthday... Ted and Tomas

Bird ... Hope you have a great anniversary tomorrow.

Went for a ride up the hill before the rain started. I can see why it took the neighbor most of the day to get to the top. There is still a lot of deep snow drifts on the road.

I have a few little things I plan on doing today.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
CWB.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 42, going up to 78 again but sunny, crystal clear this morning. Trees are popping their leaves, flowers blooming... I think spring finally became official here!

Last Sunday it was official that I sold my little LS MT125 TLB and all the implements. The plan was to stay tractorless for a while until after we moved. Being that was a big 'when' and could be a long while before we actually move, we decided that I could begin to do my research for a new tractor. It was already narrowed down to Kioti and LS. It was quickly decided to go with LS, so called 4 different dealers. We are about the same distance from all of them....between 450 to 550 miles away.

One dealer didn't call me back even after calling him twice...poor business practice, he could have at least given a base price. Another dealer gave a "discounted" price straight off. Third dealer said up front he couldn't beat the discounted price. The fourth was the charm. He was the furthest away, but was the most aggressive to make a deal. A couple of days of negotiations and he came through big time! Put a package together including delivery at a price that couldn't be beat.

Not knowing at the time, but I had been dealing with one of the owners of a true "family business". I cannot say anything but praise RCO tractor down in Austin Tx. ! No frills negotiations, no pressure, great personal experience.

We got the "approval" for the financing yesterday, signed the papers, and sent our deposit yesterday. Wifey said "happy birthday"....yes it was! They will start putting it together next week and possibly delivered by the end of the week.

I stepped up a couple of sizes to an XG3025 w/ loader and backhoe, and rear remotes. I didn't think I would miss having a tractor, but now I'm like a kid...can't wait for it to get here!

Everyone have a great weekend! Prayers sent.
