Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

The MF2615 is almost double the HP I have now, but I would need a cab with heat. A/C would be a bonus.

morning all, 25 going to 36 and sunny.
Wind finally died down after knocking about some more branches.
Rather than do pick up sticks, as it got to 63 yesterday, I worked on closing up the garage.
Didn't want to get hit with flying branches.

Some pain, caulk, new air nail gun, and some sheetrock bits and mostly done.
Need to dry sand, and paint ceiling patch and fix up some alignment on the replaced panel, all waiting for another day.

Trying to figure out if dads hoa and taxes were paid, will need to wait until Tuesday to go through paperwork and make calls. Will see my uncle while I am there, he is forgetting lots, but doing pretty well, he is about to turn 93.

Drew - if you take rt 518 you get to pass by the glass house from the movie Ferris Beuhlers day off back in the woods, but visible.

Sounded like a train coming through yesterday afternoon.

RNG - that would be so amazing if the Neighbor SIL bought it, quick sales are the best. Hoping.

M7040 - I will second the Brother, I have the ink tank version and it has outlasted every HP, Epson and many others. Will also say that laser is better for just gray and Black and white for longevity.

be well, off to pick up the sticks I didn't do yesterday.

Before, though I already had the panel behind the opener up a few weeks ago.

After-still need a little paint and alignment touch up and a few filler pieces of plastic end cap.
Patch was still wet, so left it for another day to do sanding and painting

65°F and no rain still

Need to start a new round of mowing so to get done before our trip. Only 8 days until we leave. Guess I need to get serious about packing as well.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

22 this morning 38 now still breezy

Some people came by this morning had pictures of this place from 1990 their parents owned. House was not here but old farm house was long ago torn down. Very nice surprise.

Prayers for all our Country

Ken, looks good!
David, enjoy the seat time. Remind me/us where your trip is to?

decided to get car washed so went to Doylestown and the line wasn't bad.
Then all the way back to NewHope on 202 and at 11am it was still moving.
in another two hours on a sunny Sunday, seems like half the world shows up.
Deposited a couple of checks including payment for car, that sure helps, since I had to pay it off to
get the title.

Bill, you really do need a cab, but that Massey will still be running in a hundred years. Indian built Perkins diesel clone, 55hp 3 cylinder and what
a clatter it made. Sounded great when you gave it some load. I changed the exhaust from vertical to lower horizontal, so I could go in woods
easier. I did pull my disc harrow with it, was quite a load for it but it was one tough tractor.
I pulled that disc with all three larger tractors but never liked doing it with the Kubota. Felt I was going to fry the hydro under load, even in lower range.\
all that whining....while the larger Massey was a powershift and it pulled that disc like nothing was back there. I don't think I ever had to put that in 4wd.
land was flat as a pancake

both the smaller Masseys were sort of bought on a whim, sitting on dealer lots.
one needed full restoration, the 2615 looked like new.
I was a single guy and they were some nice looking girls.
when you have no wife to say no....
have definitely had my tractor fun and better for it

19°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 45° today. Supposed to warm back into the 50s this week.

The mud had started to firm up a bit the last couple of days. There is rain in the forecast for this week. Not looking forward to that.

Scott, that church would occasionally have a German service once in awhile, usually at the request of some of the older members. But, the standard service was always in English. The church my Grandmother attended had both every week. My Mother's side of the family were all German farmers, and many still spoke German when they didn't want the kids or grandkids to know what they were talking about. When they found out I was studying German in high school, some were proud ... but others were disappointed, as they could no longer talk aloud about the "langhaariger junge."

Good morning, gents.

Back in the '50s I would spend most of my fall waxing my toboggan in preparation for winter. It was a 6 footer and some fast!
Winter time you would find me on 'our' sledding hill. Elevation change was about 300' from top to bottom over about 1,000'. Sometimes Mom would put the kibosh on me going out. Usually when the temps got down to -20°F and below. Then I would be in the basement cleaning and waxing the toboggan.
Fun times and zero parents.

We used to sand the rust off the runners on our sleds, then wax them before sledding.

was 20 deg this morning, now up to 35 deg and sunny.
Good worship and good lunch at the italian place.
Made another attempt to clone HD last night, it again failed, but on a different partition than the first time. should be straight forward...

not much planned for today, maybe a nap before teaching tonight.

I got the dump run done, North Bay trip tomorrow is postponed until maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. The alternator crapped out on the Dodge, but the dump is done and the Dodge is back where it belongs until tomorrow. There goes another $500.oo bill.

The MATE3 controller here handles generator start and stop, while the Radian inverter handles switching between grid and AC generator power. I thought you were using the same Outback components, but maybe things have changed?

Nope, you are correct. I have a 2 Mate system that are somewhat independent (basically share the DC side, not AC) and either will autostart the generator hooked to them. My transfer switch is to allow a choice between generators for each Mate. The Radian Mate I can choose between the Kohler propane or MEP diesel. the FX Mate I can select either the MEP diesel or Honda gas. All other functions are via Mate as you would expect.
I don’t have Grid, so no choice there, but can add generator support to the battery power by design.
