Good morning!!!!

Good Morning,
Ct, 36 to start going to 48 ! Still have on and off showers, hoping for some clearing later !

We had two of the grands over last night over night ! We had some friends come over with their grands son and had a little pizza party !

No nap, grilled brats for dinner.

Mostly, now your talking , my kind of meal !

I always thought it was so stupid, never thought real farmers would do something like that with their tractors.

Dennis , couldn’t agree more ! Wouldn’t do that with my almost 40 yo Massey !

Hope all have a great Saturday!

Good morning! 36˚F clear skies, S wind heading to the mid 70s.

Grocery stores are starting to get crowded. No Costco run yesterday just a yard mowing and a trip to the grocery store.

Today I get to take the lava rock out of the fire pit to examine the burner, I hope it is stainless steel. Digging around one side I found nothing.

The hot water plumbing in this house is special. Since the hot water heater is 120' from the shower the taco circulating pump is a necessity. The hot waterline must be in a circulating loop because the cold water is always cold. It does not take $5 a day extra to keep the hot water instant at all facets, maybe $.50 a day more on the natural gas bill from when the taco circulating pump was not working.
The lag time when the hot water is turned on is about 1 second per 25' from the hot water heater.

Hospice had a good day yesterday. Walked around a lot, BM, drank, ate, curled up in wife's lap. His meow voice is even getting better. The vet meds seem to be working.

Drew my Kubota 5030 HST max out at 23mph on the black top road. The adventure farm Kubota tractor's speed limit pulling a trailer is 3.1 MPH.

Temperature rose overnight to 43 up from 35 Mondays high near 60. Waiting on Ram service maybe leaves today if leg let’s me. Three day sugar level 132 I’m ok with that

Is that what you are referring to Drew. One is ten years old other is eight years old. One has 557 hp other has 577hp but can get up to 26 mpg on the road

Maybe cheesy is a better word.

My (newly adopted me) cat follows me around the property, better than most dogs. I'm thinking of getting a harness/leash for him, just to be more in control of him on walks in the dark.

Anyone have experience with something like this, for a cat?

I always remember the name Barney Oldfield but didn't know it came from tractors.
I found this video well worth the time. Watch when you have a little time.
Allis Chalmers fans will love it.
when tractors went from steel wheels to rubber
and when tractor racing was a really big deal

I bet the Europeans turn up their Fendts and go racing

am amazed those rear tires stayed on their rims at that speed, they must have some kind of bead lock?

always found tractors to get wobbly and unhappy at higher speeds. Last one, the big Massey, it's top gear was one I never tried.
clearly made to go a lot faster than I wanted to.

I also found the sound of a Kubota hydro whining at top speed to be kinda unpleasant.
all the fast stuff must use powershift gear trans where they can add a taller top gear I guess.

so....begs the question
how fast have you gone on your tractor?

I believe some are rated from factory at 30+mph.
Most of us have/had hydros so top gear in those is much lower usually.

if I was in Texas and had four miles to get back to the barn, and the road was flat,
need for speed sure comes in
but if you are towing anything, can't imagine going too fast with that.

ever see a combine going by at 30mph? I haven't....

My Kioti is rated for 12 mph maximum speed. I run it in the middle gear most of the time. I tried high gear, but with the chains on I might as well had steel wheels on it. The ride was brutal.

If I did anything like that to my cats, they would not only disown me but would also leave me a little brown present on my pillow.

The high temp for today is 38 and it is going down to 36 after the sun? comes up. Wind WNW 9 mph. Periods of rain mixed with snow. It wont stay, the ground isn't frozen.

I'm not sure what I will get up to today, but rest assured it wont be much.

Have a safe day all

Morning all, 46 going up to 50 and some sun.
Rain has stopped, so nice to have had some.

Got suit and stuff ready for wedding later.
It's at a place that was my mothers favorite, we did a few Christmases there.

Had breakfast and will eat again tomorrow night when we get home.

Hope the kid doesn't have too many friends over ....

Saw the now very pregnant fox this morning. We will have pups in the spring. I am sure part of the size increase is also winter weight, and a few of our tasty squirrels.

Replaced a power supply on one of our outside lights, seems they left a gap during build, no QC :-(

Gotta finish packing, have a great weekend everyone.

have a fun weekend Ken, glad weather has cleared up
