Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! No rain overnight, slight chances of a passing T-storm today. Temps up to the low 90's.

Not sure what will be on the agenda today.... maybe a little cleanup where the tanks were sitting, some weedwacking may be in order. I know there is a steel barrel out there that I have been meaning to cut open to make a burn barrel.... maybe get to that.

I cannot get too involved in anything, today is the 37th trip around the sun with my bride and soulmate! We really don't have any plans, but I still will stick close to home base today.... at least I am still smart...

PJ, let me know how the $100 plan works out....

Drew, be careful crawling around on the ground... don't mess up the neck any more than necessary...

Rng, it it a tough call to decide.... could have used both equally over last year... but, the plasma cutter will be used almost immediately to make 2 implements for the tractor... a land plane and a rear grader blade. Then they will almost need the T&T immediately when they get put to use....So what comes first, I guess the plasma cutter so the implements can be MADE. The T&T will be more for convenience....

Kyle, I forget to mention that I was glad to hear about your daughter playing / singing at church.

Wifey just asked if I could make a run down to Costco..... can I say no....?? Funny how it works...

Everyone have a great day!

you're right Ted, caution won out, as I'm sitting here with a soft collar and microwaveable heating pad on it.
Plus my lower back started getting twingey so decided Friday morning was a better idea.
When I'm dosed up with 100mg of Prednisone for five days after chemo, I feel like superman.
Well...that sure goes away. Happy Anniversary!

bought meat loaf mix and going to make meat loaf and baked potatoes for dinner, plus some broccoli.
Forgot to get Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix, which is a favorite ingredient in meat loaf, so I'll experiment with something else.

RNG, looks like your state is burning up again. Get that firetruck full of water :thumbsup: and be careful.

75 and thunder, already had .7” of rain in storms this morning. Supposed to be 81 later. Was going to mow today to get ahead of the grass, guess that’s not happening. Cardio rehab this morning. Hurried home so I could let the cleaning lady in, she texts to tell she can’t come until tomorrow. She’s very good and usually very dependable, so I’m not going to worry about it. She had covid-19 in June and recovered at home, but took off a month to be sure. She sent me a picture of her two negative tests, I appreciate that.

Moss, great news and good luck on all the mechanisms involved.

Have a good day guys and be careful.

62 degrees this morning, but going for a high of 94. At least the cool weather made mowing a more pleasant job than I've had in a while. Of course, I almost finished mowing before daylight (love the headlights on the EGO self-propelled lawnmower).

And with less than a third of an inch of rain so far this month, and no more in the foreseeable future, I've got the sprinklers running both front and back.

And I spoke only briefly this morning to the young lady next door as she was leaving to take the kids to school. Yep, they are going back to school around here. The young lady is a nurse, so she's working every day. Her husband works in construction for her father and is on a job more than 300 miles from here, so he only comes home overnight less than once a week. The grandmother, who lives about 35 miles from here, has been coming to stay with the 3 kids during the day while they haven't been going to school. It looks like a busy and tough life lately, but they're good people, stay cheerful, and at least they have jobs instead of being in financial trouble during the pandemic.

You guys make me smile.

I think they are trying to make you work faster

66°F and .26 inches rain.

Need to set up a paint station, get some 2x6s painted.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Kyle,

Two topics here on the trailer.

For the big move from MFW#1 to MFW#2, I am HIRING movers for MOST stuff. I'm selling two houses, I'm not gonna be cheapo this time.

For the equipment, I NEED to OWN a trailer that will haul my tractor with bush-hog at minimum. I have a 12' x 5' flatbed with rails but my ZTR will not fit. I have multiple attachments, and I have 3 Harleys, and and ATV, and a John Deer riding mower I think I'm keeping. I have space to store it. I have NO IDEA what the future will bring.

Just gotta have one.

Make sense?

Thanks,
David

I really liked my neighbors BIg Tex trailer I borrowed once. I have a 16ft, but I needed something bigger.

Duh, my MIL has a 16 ft car trailer I think she will be selling. Has metal bottom. It’s in Harrisonburg VA.

No need to fill the tank, Drew. The suction hose only takes a minute to hook up and that tank holds 2500 gallons.


Here's a satellite heat map of the fires around Central and Northern California. Closest one to here is the Potter's Fire, which is burning northward from the Oroville Dam spillway. Reports coming in this morning are of many of those fires making big runs last night, with strong winds fanning dry brush in low humidity conditions.
