Good morning!!!!

[Alien]

With my wifes help driving the Ranger we tried to pull my tractor out yesterday arvo. No luck. A neighbour walked in the gate and said he had noticed the tractor sitting down the paddock and offered to pull it out with his tractor on Sunday. Nice of him. However, I went and had a look late yesterday and the ground had dried out considerably so I gave it a go. Rocked it a bit to free the caked mud and managed to drive it forward out of the holes onto firm ground. I went and got the XUV and trailer and loaded it with rocks and sand and filled in the very deep holes the wheels had dug and then reversed out with no effort. Such a relief and now a big cleanup to do. Then I will return the chains I borrowed from my mate to pull it out. Must ring the neighbour and tell him I don't need him now.
It's dry enough now to tow away the fallen trees before it rains again. Then finish mowing.
Property is looking pretty good just now. I have a brother and his wife coming from New Zealand to stay for a day or two so want it to look good as they own a nursery and have people visiting their property daily. Our lawns and gardens have improved a lot since their last visit.
Club day today and also going to pick up my special pool cue from my daughter in readiness for the arrival of my new pool table.

Rip, sorry about shed roof

Wngsprd, I seem to get behind people at gas pumps who seem to never have seen one before, and have no clue how to operate one. How can that be.

Around 1959-60 we were able to see the Aurora in northeastern NC for a couple of nights. It was fairly faint but distinct enough to see.

That would be about same time I saw it in Maine.

That would be about same time I saw it in Maine.

I remember talk of solar eruptions and I had no clue what that meant.

Congrats Eric on a new little one.

Congrats Don for getting in the saddle again.

LS, still a disappointment you have to be fence building to that neighbor.

Yeah, we just don't understand..... Not a peep from them. Other family members have told us they were going to call them and tell them what a disgrace they are..... we told them not to. Leave sleeping dogs lie. It truly is a shame.

The worst about it is that no one did a thing to bring this on.... we don't really know why. Caught us off guard with what they did.

Thanks for letting me vent....

I believe grocery stores should have a special check out aisle for coupon shoppers....and food stamp customers.

Sorry about your shed rip.

RS, you are hopefully going to have a huge flower explosion soon with all the hard work y'all did. Might give the Queen's gardens some competition.
