OMG, already thinking of winter

Minus 26c windchill this afternoon. Changes my plans completely. Had a long list of outside tasks.

I know a person around here who had the same thing happen. I don't understand it.

That particular issue is coming up more frequently it supposedly is spread by the Lone Star Tick which has been spreading;

Tick bites can cause all sorts of nasty afflictions. And if you're bitten by a Lone Star tick, here's one more to add to the list: a red meat allergy.

That is disturbing. Life would be pretty dull without red meat.

Yes it would, especially to me thats most of what I get paid in from the farm, prime Angus beef and some pork.

With Global Warming, ticks are slowly making their way to Alaska. The brown recluse spider has made an appearance and I hope I never meet the Lone Star Tick.

Sure glad I live in Alaska where we have hardly any snow. I hate that white devil!

Well we have some warm days so I thought I would grease snowblower, had 1 fitting on subframe pointing at frame so I put a 45 degree fitting in place but on drive shaft ujoint next to gearbox has the plastic sleeve over it and I can't get that cover to slide back to access the fitting, is it a brute strength and yank back or another trick, had to walk away for abit

I'm assuming the plastic sleeve is the pto shaft guard.
Some of those are designed to be disconnected and moved to lube the joint, some have to be rotated on the shaft to line up a hole to reach the fitting,
some you may need to disconnect the pto shaft from the tractor and swing the shaft all the way to one side or the other to access the grease fitting.
