LS, be careful and stay hydrated, I almost passed out Sunday morning due to dehydration and prednisone withdrawal.

Happy birthday Phil and James.
I think that was a major contributing factor... and being 'sick'. I haven't had any lightheadedness since.

My oldest grandson will be 13 Sunday and he’s got the teen thing down pat. Grumpy, sit on the sofa on his tablet talking to his friends and ignoring as many adults as possible, oh, and rolling his eyes at everything said.
Mark Twain quotes about that: ........
“When a boy turns 13, put him in a barrel and feed him through a knot hole. When he turns 16, plug up the hole.”
Mark Twain also said when he was 14 he thought his Dad was the most ignorant person he'd ever met. When he turned 21 he was amazed how much his father had learned in 7 years.

My kids were both that way, at 12 or so their mom and I were barely smart enough to get out of the rain, by the time they were in their early twenties they realized we could save them from a bunch of mistakes.

By design, or was there luck involved?

... a little of both ... I guess ?

¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

There's a post here on TBN from a guy with a B7800 (essentially same tractor but without the "deluxe" features) that did a driveshaft/u-joint remove and replace, I think in response to someone asking about what was involved.

He provided pictures of his repair work, including one showing where he drilled with the hole saw and mentioning the (hidden) location of the hydraulic hard line.

Difference was he used a 2 1/8" hole saw which we did not have, so we used 2 1/4" instead.

Ted, my wife is going through the same thing at present. Had a pulse oximeter on her a couple of days ago and watched her heart rate go from 53 to 83 in 1 second. She is getting her monitor fitted asap. Sudden rate change made her jump.

37° right now...high in the mid-60's today

Nothing else to report, I reckon

49F and clear @ 4:15, heading up to a high in the low 70's. Current soil temp 46F, 24 hour average soil temp 51.6F. High temps for the Ten Day all in the 50's except for a couple of 60's.

Enjoying a cup of kaffee con leche made with Taster's Choice. Sadly, it looks like I'll have to find a replacement instant coffee for that ... given Nestle's stand on doing business in Russia.

Same goes for the cat food (we use a combo of Purina dry and Friskies wet)

Hopper and two sunflower tube feeders refilled, also two suet feeders. Plus three scoops of whole corn for the deer in their feeder. More than likely the coons are hitting that now as well. Have another suet feeder I need to refill today.

Agenda for the day:

Need to review and finalize the parts order for the Kubota and get it called in first thing when they open.

Write up a couple of emails.

Haul buckets of used cat litter up to compost pile with Cub and dump those.

Maybe see about starting to get the remaining bulbs planted. (Saw first crocus bloom yesterday)

Do some fish room maintenance.

Possibly take a nap ... :)

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, healthy, and accident-free safe day ... (y)

Good morning, low temp 37 and a high of 41°F. Wind NNE 9 gusting to 19 mph. 30% chance of drizzle.


Today is kitten castration day IF we can find them. They are in the house, somewhere. They only have 2800 square feet to hide in on two floors.
After taking the kittens to the vet, the car will get a much needed wash. Not much else planned for today.


Have a safe day all
