Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
looks like a lovely day, sunny and 70's.
lots to do today, get car washed , get new key made for car at dealer,
only got one at sale and I demanded a second key. Luckily for them not a super smart key
so they have a key guy come once a week to program new keys. You would think a dealership would know how
to key their own cars???

also have to stop and pick up a CD check. Rates are now at 4 percent for 7 months. Not high enough to get me to re-up but I might
take half and buy another cd and put rest back into market. Very hard to predict what is going on..

also on the agenda is calling Richard's Gravely in Spencer WV to talk to them about the Gravely's pto clutch. They are the
gurus on old Gravelys.

Kyle, John Deere must use some fancy material in those gearboxes...would have expected a price in the 700-900 range for JD, even Bush Hog
commercial is like 1500. I'd pick the next higher hp up and go generic, assuming it all fit.

Morning all!
48 going to 59 today. Looks like a crappy week in the forecast.
Still better than winter though!

Wife and I will head out to do some shopping today. I need to gas up the truck while we're out.
Going to try container gardening this year. Also cutting way back on what we will plant. Might be just tomatoes.

Worked outside this weekend. Moved quite a bit of stuff around with the forks on the tractor. Looks much neater and will be easier to mow and rake around. Need to mow out back but it is still to mushy! Also need to turn the mulch piles. Think I will start looking for another area that is drier.

Did some rearranging in the shop again. Will get it all figured out eventually! Made a platform to stand on so the new machine isn't so high for me. Hopefully will help with the neck and shoulders.
That's all for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Phil, great idea to get your work at a comfortable level, no bending over.

the amount of disease in the forests of NY is truly sad. Whole areas were covered in
what looks like their version of skin cancer

and as expected, my well fed birds are loving the rear steps of my rv
to do their business
please, please, go over there

Good morning, the low is 30 and going up to 55°F. Wind N 9 mph. Clearing later, snowing right now.

I don't think I will be doing anything outside today. Although my pig mats did come in yesterday.

Drew, a cat might fix the bird poop problem.

Back down the rabbit hole and another power nap.

Have a safe day all

Good morning TBN!!
55 heading to the 80s again today with very little chance of rain.

Not too very much yesterday.
I got a 20' rebar hammered in to the bank. Sunk it about 8'. Can't swing a sledge like I used to. Had to sit every few minutes. Plan to day is to try and get the end bent to weld it to a tank Should be a very stout base to build off of.
Tried to figure out the lift problem on the tractor. Finally fixed it when I reseated the quick connects for the third time.
Maybe go get a battery for the tractor today. Getting to be a PITA to jump it each time.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

good morning, 56 going to 70 and sunny

Made coffee as usual and walked Cody. Discovered the trash can was pushed over and trash torn up. Maybe a bear got down from the mountain or maybe raccoons were able to do it. In any case a lot of cleanup before taking it up to the road for pick up today

Wanted to mow yesterday but the wind gust of up to 30 MPH was enough to not wanting to get blasted with grass clippings

Instead changed the engine oil and filter on the Kubota RTV. It still had hours to go before changing but it had been more than a year before last change. The two large skid plates had to come off to get access and the M12 Milwaukee 3/8 inch ratchet tool came in handy. Used Rotella T6 15W-40. Plan to do the rest of the Kubota engines as well

Should be able to get back to mowing today with the ZD331. Cleaned the air filter on it and found it completely jammed up with grass clippings. Surpised it ran as well as it did. Blew it out and checked the inner filter as well. Need to get a new one.
Got stuck in mud last time I used it as well. Recent rains have changed the areas to stay out of. Always keep tow straps and chains in the RTV to be ready to pull it out.
Easy to do when close to the barn but further out it requires a lot of walking to go back and get the RTV and return it
