Good morning!!!!

Roy, congrats on tractor. Nice you have inching feature, you must have the loaded R model. I almost bought that before I bought my Kubota, but JD dealer was awful and far way while Kubota was close and a great dealer. Both were comparable tractors, am sure you are going to love the cab, staying warm and dry. Let it snow!

yes Ken, third time had better be the charm. What is almost humorous is I'm the last person they need to worry about.
This reminds me to get my passport renewed in near future, I let that lapse. Now this is strange, went online to confirm
Flemington NJ passport office, now it says no passport offices in PA, NJ, NY or Delaware. Wonder how that is possible...
Perhaps I can accomplish this online with Real ID or at local court house.

Drew, your passport can be had at the post office, that’s where we got ours renewed.
I also wondered if you couldn’t rent a van round trip and save the trailer hassle.

Randy, you are probably right with the van, but due to mileage involved, might be a lot more expensive.
Thanks for tip about post office and passport, will stop down there and ask once I have my new PA driver's license.
He said with cautious optimism...
hope your arm gets better soon.

Good morning to all! Low of 34, going for a high of 68..... depending on which forecast.... some say 76. Early morning fog reported just east of here, means some moisture moving in..... Our area is predicted to get 6-7" of snow starting as early as Sunday night.

LFN, I'll try to send some up your way.... I know you just can't wait to get some snow....

Roy, If thomas gets some snow diverted, and I can get ours going that way.... you just might get some seat time! Congrats on getting a very nice tractor!

Drew, I hope you can get through DMV without any more difficulty.... sounds like you have covered everything they want. Have a safe trip over the weekend!

Ron, I would have to put a chair out there and watch every leaf fall gently..... I assume that it is very quiet.... at least it looks like it.... I can just hear the birds and the leaves rustling! Beautiful!

There is a wildfire up in Colorado that blew up from 20,000 acres to over 125,000 acres overnight. Lots of people/homes having to evacuate. Sounds like California all over again! Unprecedented times.....

Trip into town was uneventful yesterday, accomplished what was needed and got the trailer floor diamond plate, then the ply. Had time to spare, so went to HF and got sanding discs and 3 more Bar clamps.... all they had.... got some other stuff. Got off easy at at just under $100 at HF.

Got to get out early and weld the diamond plate to the trailer before the wind kicks up.... I don't want to be at risk of causing another fire! Then try to get it painted before any moisture arrives. That was the only thing forgotten yesterday.... paint... so need to run to the hardware store after I get through with the welding.

Everyone have a great day!

Oh, also forgot that I was able to get the mirrors installed on the tractor! They couldn't have worked out any better! I will get some pics today....

I’d like mirrors but don’t have a good place to mount them, my old 4041 Simplicity had a metal roof so the mirrors could be mounted on the front uprights.

64°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 67° today. Cold front coming thought today is supposed to bring a little more rain, along with dropping temperatures this afternoon into the upper 30s overnight.

More puttering in the studio last night.

That's why I'd like a rear wiper, too, Rick. My dust doesn't get as thick as yours, but it is bothersome looking out through dirty windows. Rain and snow haven't been a problem for me.

Congrats on the new tractor, Roy. Looks fantastic. Quite a few people complain about "hydro whine," but it doesn't really bother me. It does make some noise, though. You may or may not want plugs or muffs if you're in it for long periods of time.

The pond is still low, Mostly_. I was hoping all the recent rain would correct that, but it's pretty much all been slow and steady, so it's soaking into the ground more than running off into the pond. The ground needs it more than the pond, so it is what it is.

Glad your settling in so quickly, Drew. Good luck with the DMV today.

U-haul rents vehicles by the week too.

It is interesting that the death rate on the virus is going down. They are not sure if it is improved methods of treatment. or wider use of masks may be reducing the amount of virus that people get when exposed, or maybe the virus is changing. Dr. Seheult talks about it in the new Medcram video.

Roy, tractor looks good. Very nice comfortable cab. Does it have a rear camera?

No, but I'm sure I can add one if I want...
I have a back up camera in the Tacoma, but I still turn my head and look...
