Good morning all. It was foul last night, lots of rain followed by sleet and these almost never ending high winds. Quite a relief to discover the lambs out in the field were all fine this morning.

A pair of swans have been hanging out on the big pond for most of this year. They have been very easy going, almost oblivious to whatever happens around them. Now one of them has suddenly become very territorial, chasing away any geese that dare to come within 100 yards. It will be interesting to see if they show any signs of nest building.

The wife was the salesman dream customer. She equipped it out with all new attachments, and finished it off with the Kubota extras for operator comfort and safety.

Salesman only had dream customer - you got the dream wife Rip.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 36ｰ with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 52ｰ with overcast skies. Good day yesterday with my aunt. Such a vibrant 91 year old lady. She tried to drag me out into the cold and work on cleanup of the yard yesterday. Talked her into making Ribs in IP instead. Was very good. Hope I can be as active when I am over 90. May get out and do some of the yard cleanup today.

Finally got a picture at feeders with Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers at same time. Downy would not turn and show how short it's beak is.


Riptide, very nice tractor. Does it have GPS, internet, video and surround sound.

Drew, glad to here you are feeling better. Place up for sale next month. :shocked: We do have to do what is best for ourselves.

Roy, good luck.

Buppies, where do you haul all the cuttings?

Looking, next time you think about it. You will be there 50 years. We went into 4 house in 10 years. Never thought I would be in same one 48 years later.

Bird, may be easier to just run a garden hose to shop ice maker. :drink:

Jay, maybe talk wife into used camera stuff. Lots of good deals with people switching over to mirrorless. I like Canon. Because there are lots of good lenses and accessories available.

Buckeye, I still wonder what all these people did before Covid-19 showed up.

Prayers and best wishes to everyone.

Good Morning All.

Thanks Eric.

Nice picture in my head that you painted with your swans and the big pond.

With all that is going on, you have to sit back and take in Mother Natures calming effect.

And yes, living the dream I am. I step into the house yesterday and get grabbed to take a photo op with our new Kubota hats.

Some is more excited than I. LOL.

49 and cloudy going to 68 today.

Rip, that's a great looking tractor...I like the hooks on the QA bucket.

Rick (the Cedarman)...take a look at the row of cedars in Rip's tractor photo...makes you kind of drool, huh?

Buppies, your plan is sounding good...especially the shooting range.

I did the lube job on the Zero turn yesterday...then needed to take it for a spin to work the lube in ...ended up mowing for 45 minutes...sure felt good.

Then I took all the rocks off the landscape cloth and took it off the garden and did the first till.

Sharpened my chainsaw and got my splitter ready for travel and hitched it up. It is kept under a pull through shelter, but the hitch was facing the wrong way...facing a half full pallet of firewood. Decided rather than move the pallet, which meant taking the tiller off, and putting the carry all on, I'd just spin the splitter in place...my back is still mad at me for that task...turning a heavy spitter in soft wood chips and bark, even after raking some away was no fun...but better than packing dirt, eh, RNG?

Realtors came for a chat, told me to raise price 25k. Ok. Looks like early April for showtime.

April's coming quick, Drew. Can you share your plan for where you'll be moving to, and how many tractors you'll be taking along with you?:thumbsup:

Riptide, very nice tractor. Does it have GPS, internet, video and surround sound.

...

LOL. The sound system is amazing. I would have thought a radio on a tractor was a non-starter. But it is actually nicely done.

Since it has a Bluetooth hookup, and a phone slot, the answers are Yes, yes, yes and yes.

LOL.

Good to see you still in the game!

Gosh, Ron, tell her she looks better than most sixty-five year olds I know! No wonder you're having trouble keeping up with her.:laughing:

Hey wngsprd, glad you are doing well.

I forgot about the hooks while at the dealer when we were talking. Forgot to ask. I kicked myself in the butt a few times while we were waiting for it.

When it showed up, I see the hooks and was just like - wow. I asked and the sales guy said "Well you said you did a lot of wood". I just smiled and thanked him.

He was spot on about everything. I was very impressed. The wife too, about how it all turned out. We looked for over two months, at five different dealers.

Take it easy on yourself and that big oak. Be safe.

Nice tractor, Rip! That dealer knows what's good for him throwing a hat into the deal. Two of 'em!:laughing: Feel free to post that photo...
