Does wife operate 2nd as a team ?

The grapple on the New Holland (100 HP) is for picking up big trees up to 3 tons. The one on the LS (55 HP) is for tree branches and brush up to 1.3 tons.

She's comfortable driving the LS but, the NH is a gear tractor. She can drive it .. but not willingly.

I don’t think my wife has ever sat in my tractor.

Good evening all. 72F for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Light wind day, some clouds, and high temp was 94F. Humidity has been less last couple of days. Chapel to start day, then make wife's breakfast, then walk. Putter day after that did print updated fish habitat map on two sheets of paper, now easier to read. Got my nap in

I don’t think my wife has ever sat in my tractor.

She was not happy I sold "her" Kubota.

Don’t recall that wife has driven my LS yet, but back when we were building the house she was outstanding at those tasks requiring precision. Often, she would man the controls for functions that I’d be on the ground directing such as placing items with the FEL mounted boom pole or operating the controls as I positioned the PHD.
When we dug the 350ft electrical trench, she drove the tractor a few feet at a time as I stayed on the backhoe to dig.

That's what it's all about.

I just watched a replay of the splashdown and recovery. Seems like it took forever to open the hatch......They must've needed a better locksmith. Great stuff!

74 degrees right now...high about 80 today.
Got nothing done yesterday. SWMBO wanted to go for a drive so that's what we did...headed up toward the Northeast Kingdom and stopped to walk around some of the small towns on the way. It's been a while since we did this kind of thing and it was an enjoyable day...
Flash flood watch for most of Vermont over the next few days...

good morning all.
Up early enjoying mug of coffee, and will start to pack things away for short trip this morning. Looks like rain will hold off until 11am so I
should be back by then and rv set back up. Forecast hasn't changed much; 35-45mph winds with gusts to 60mph. No storm surge warnings for here, so
while less than a mile from the Tar River, expect no problems there. Washington has surge warning of 1-3 feet above ground level. Pamlico becomes the Tar River
at Washington so I guess they don't expect the surge to come further up the River. Greenville was very badly flooded during a past hurricane where 10+ inches of rain came down so locals know to pay attention. So far the forecast is for about 2 inches here, and double that West of here. I'm guess double that here, but still four inches won't flood anything. We have been getting rain almost every day and the crops are loving it.

Yesterday they said winds would be out of the South. Today they say starts with E winds changing to WSW. Pretty normal with rotation of storm winds to get
winds from various directions. I'm just happy the worst stuff is due in Tuesday morning when it will be light out.

I read in a video where some late model police cars have the ability to heat up the interior to 135 degrees, which allegedly kills off the coronavirus bug.
Maybe, but high temps are rarely good for electronics so wonder what the tradeoff is there.

David, when it rains you will like having a windshield on your UTV. Sounds like a fun project and good way to use the left overs.

Had a nice zoom chat with my sister in California yesterday afternoon. She gets everything delivered in and is paranoid about disease; my brother
possibly being sick isn't going to help that. They still have big family get togethers, lots of grandchildren, both their sons have now moved to within several hours of
parents and with the beach there, it's a natural attraction.

Toppop, wonderful pictures with grandchildren.
