"They may have just lured me out of retirement. As I was talking to the owner about her 1946 Formal A She mentioned they need someone in the Fall to drive their tractors on a seasonal basis. (not the Farmall, they have other tractors). I'm filling out the application today."

Sounds like win win anyway you look at it.

Got to the lab and signed in, then learned my alligator test no longer required. I called hospital to confirm. Change effective yesterday, guess the registration clerk I dealt with yesterday didn’t get the word. Oh well.

Application is in for seasonal work in the Fall. On the "Who referred you" question it was nice to put the owners name.

Yesterday I was asking the owner about the Farmall and noticed on the pics the emblems were missing, she said she just ordered them. The tractor does not start so I asked her about the crank located in the clamps on the left side of the seat next to the gear shifter. She said it was not there but I could see her head spinning then she said that would be a excellent thing for the kids to do. Not to start it, but turn the crank and smoke comes out of the muffler maybe even a fake motor sound . . . Hmmm.

Popgadget, have you ever make tractor sounds speakers?

I was at the doctor's yesterday to get my yearly blood work done. On the way out there was a lady coughing up a storm. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Even if it was just a cold I don't want it.

Chris

I have a checkup tomorrow. They said don’t even come in if you have a respiratory issue.

Well... not a good day outside wise.... Wifey called me around 10:30 this morning while I was doing the errands in town..... She said that a wall of dirt came at the house with a subsequent recording of a 59.4 mph gust.

As I went to open the front storm door, about an inch of silty dirt was between the two doors. Had to go around to the back door. There the dirt was covering the deck, so much so that a 3'x5' outdoor door mat couldn't be seen.....

I picked up the two 35 gal planters that were blown over. They are heavy... can't carry them, only tip them back up. Still have 35-45 mph winds going on.

Didn't even attempt to go out to the shop.... oh well, tomorrow's another day..

Enough complaining..... Gonna watch the second part of a PBS special on Ben Franklin. We watched the first part last night, it was very informative and interesting. I t was made by Ken Burns.

Everyone have a great evening!

51° and drizzly all day. Only .02” rain shows in my gauge.

Bird, I’ve been very tired and sleepy also.

Nice to still be light out when I get home, but nothing planned. I still get a lot of pain in my feet from GBS. Took a short walk in the yard looking for snagglepuss who I saw earlier down by the road, didn’t find her.
My yard needs mowed.

That oil tank sure did expand. Hope they figure it out.

Rich might be right about the oil tank breathing properly....or else you have a xxxx shaft horsepower hydraulic pump dead heading into the oil tank.. Wow. glad you're safe!

I hate strong winds. hope yours subside.

I watched the Ben Franklin special early this Am when it re-aired at 3ish... would have rather slept. Anyway, they spoke of the Penn/Quakers not wanting to start any taxation to form a militia to protect itself from the French/Indian war which turned into an international war called the 7 year war. Old Ben at first wanted to move his family back to England, until they (the English aristocrats) turncoated on him, because he was an American. He had left his wife and daughter behind in America, and took his son over to England. His son hit the right buttons, and they made him governor of New Jersey. His daughter barely knew him. He also had illegitimate kid/s. They spent a lot of time talking about his having "servants" and of course they had the interviews with today's pundits reflecting on what was considered common as pipe smoking back then. He had actually been one to notice black peoples ability to learn fast after going to a school and observing, which changed his mind about a lot of things.

Sodamo, prayers for your eye cataract surgery. Buppies, you too. also those in silent need. Hope Ron is doing OK. Prayers for Ukraine.

Been getting good rain in east Texas but bone dry in Central Texas. Good to see it so green out here in the piney woods.
