Good morning!!!!

[Peter 315]

Not target shooting, per se.....but I have been down on the field breaking in that Kahr CW380 I've been writing about over the last couple months. So far, the little pistol has ran good with hardball (the Winchester white box you got me and some American Eagle).
Otherwise, it's been really wet here...rain most days...too wet to be traipsing on the field with my bum leg.

How about you?

Not much here back to work last week and just doing stuff around the farm.....

Ended up being a nice day ... sun finally came out and it warmed up to 75F.

ALU cans all crushed and 4th bluebird house roof coated with linseed oil ... :thumbsup:

Got a little over an hour's worth of seat time in on the compost pile this evening, old grass clippings almost all incorporated at this point ... just a little more to go.

One computer presently ingesting raw footage for a (multi) DVD project, another processing footage previously captured.

Good evening all. 62F for the start, rain, light breeze, .2 inches in rain gauge. Last night storm fell about as they got here. Rain today, 2.6 in in gauge at about 4. Low water #2 closed. High temp was 66F. No bike ride today, so energy conservation mode with nap this afternoon. Went to the dam to watch the water over the spillway, lake about 7 inches over top.

I've considered an LS backhoe for my LS XR4155HC. The LS backhoes are frame mounted so, the 3-point remains in place.

My biggest reservation is how well a backhoe would work with a cab tractor? Don't think I've ever seen one, in person. Unlike your TLB, the LS backhoes have their own operators seat.

So do Kiotis.

"That's a LOT of wood, Thomas! Ever have any problems with termites in the house as a result?"
---------------------------------------------
Nope nor ants and we watchful eye.

if you sprinkle corn meal around where you keep your wood, you will not have seen or unseen ants.

I found Rick that a separate excavator to be better . . .

I agree whole heatedly, but remember that my old backhoe sat for years before a need arose to go to the considerable trouble to put it back on the tractor. From that perspective, it's pretty hard to justify a whole machine that spends most of its life standing around unused. But that's just me, and I'm sure it's really easy for a lot of you to find ways to use a backhoe several times a week!:thumbsup:

Mostly, I love the Quadrophenia album. Probably wore out the record and a home recorded long playing 8 track of it too.

Me2, Kyle. I was a classic case of teenage angst, and that album summed it up in a nutshell. Except I was just a few years too young to ride either a scooter or a real motorcycle, and had to work out all that excess testosterone on a Raleigh ten speed. TMI?:confused2:

RNG 2100+ miles.

:shocked::shocked::shocked: I hope you;re tryin' for a new world record! You've already got a heck of a good start:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The Deere backhoes have separate seats too



I sold the 'hoe a couple years ago...never had much use for it, but it came with the tractor (which was used when I bought it)

Up too early!

45 right now...high about 70 today...hopefully, it'll be drier today.

Tried my new pole saw...not too successfully, I'm afraid. Pinched the chain in my first cut and pulled it (the chain) off the bar. I did get the limb cut though and ran it through the chipper.

I'll use the pole saw again today...although I didn't think I was, I probably tried to push the saw into the cut rather then letting the saw do the work.
