In Texas you can tell April is right around the corner when the Bluebonnets start showing. The state flower.

It looks like one of the last repairs on this tractor was a muffler pipe repair with an aluminum pie plate and wire.

That confirms it, dad’s been to Texas.

I am...appointment is on 12 April...

Go to a walk in clinic, if you need to be seen sooner. They can get you to higher health care, if needed, with more expediency.

Billy, if you're worn out, I would be thrashed if I did all you did.

Drew, my SIL had TMJ (gritting teeth), she got some surgery. This was at least a decade or more ago. She's better now, but I don't think tinnitus was a symptom for her.

Popgadget, I love those pictures. Above the clouds, in your own little world, above all the world's turmoil's, if just for a few hours. Does she cruise around 435-450 knots give or take? Maybe more light loaded?

Bupps, praying for your healing and feeling better, and for our team.

I hope some of you get to see this tonight. I was 5 or so the only time I saw the Northern lights in KY.

Scaried the crap out of me. Actually it was my emotional grandfather running around shouting the lord is come that scared the crap out of me.

I thought the green sky was beautiful.

39F with some rain @ 22:45.

Got battery charger hooked up on the van.

Then headed up to the shop and fired up the double-barrel stove.

Worked on doing clean up and putting some tools away.

Also fished the remnants of the other (rear) yoke and u-joint out of the center frame tunnel section on the Kubota. Still need to locate my magnetic pickup tools.

Wasn't much left of the u-joint. Also scraped and blew that area out, had a lot of grass debris that was soaked with hydraulic oil in there. Need to bring up a smaller plastic scraper and a couple other blowguns tomorrow from the house.

Cleaned off some wire clamps and the carrier bearing and housing in the parts washer, need to clean out the parts washer and change the fluid in it ... it's pretty bad ...

Loaded up the stove and banked it down before I left, temp inside the building was 81F ... hopefully will be relatively warm tomorrow morning ...

Will finish up at least one plant order and then grab a shower before I hit the rack.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Don nice blue bells, alway see a lot of them when going to Easter Hill County Tour (but not this year).

Texas is famous for bluebonnets and Bluebell Ice cream but not blue bell flowers.
