Can you park it anywhere inside or is it too tall. I had to raise my tractor shed doorway when I got my BH by adding swing-up windows.

I don't own any vehicles I can park inside, but I aspire to a shop where some of them can get under cover.

I think I'm getting closer to that reality...

I had a Simplicity SCUT with a four post hardtop some years ago, the building I had, had doors that were about 4” too low. I cut out the section above them 8” and attached it to the doors so that it opened with the doors. I then boxed the area around the new opening. When you closed the doors you would never notice it.

You are definitely going to need a bigger door.... any more surprises? Looks to be a great tractor!

31 right now...high in the low 60's today.
Heading to Connecticut this morning to deliver a tool and parts to a supplier. I'm a Quality Engineer and delivery is not usually my function...but our truck driver is out and I do have a truck. Shouldn't take more then 5-6 hours for the round trip...

Another interesting day.
No big surprises at eye Dr office. Basically confirmed that Sophie’s lens has slipped position, causing the vision problem. A new medication and continue with existing and recheck next Tue. The real problem will be the fix. This lens has been problematic almost since beginning (Nov) and Dr referred her to another ophthalmologist she has been seeing since Jan. She needs a different lens due to shape of eyeball, unfortunately manufacturer is quite backlogged. She has appointment for next Fri for an update, that appointment was made in Feb. Now CV19 comes into play. Not only not knowing when the lens will be available, but Hawaii has a 14 day self quarantine for interisland travel until 5/31. This Dr is from Oahu, the surgery has to be performed in Oahu. Quite clear from today’s discussion no one has a clue to how this works right know. Our local Dr will update the Oahu Dr, maybe we’ll have a plan after Tue, don’t know if Fri appnt is still a go at this point. I have to wonder if it would even make sense to spend 14 days on Oahu. Go from a zero case zipcode to a hot spot.

Went to a couple of grocery stores, both had the longest lines we’ve seen. Likely a function of time of month and time of day. Both were well stocked, at least for what we wanted. Brought home deli fried chicken.

Line at Walmart was so long we just drove on past. Didn’t even try HD.

E0 gas was $3.139, filled the Pilot.

Enjoyed 2 scoops of Baskin Robbins sitting in car.

Good morning, the temp is 43°F and going to a high of 52. Wind E 14 mph. Rainfall warning in effect.

I found some of my get up and go, yesterday I changed the oil in the walk behind mower and sharpened the blade. Also sharpened the blades on the ride on mower. FEL bucket with hooks made that job easy.

There were a few sprinkles of rain yesterday. The shelter I keep the Dodge in is high enough to put the tractor inside and that is how the blades got done. The extension on my bucket makes a good workbench.

Nice chunk of real estate you've got there Ron. Smooth flying, too.

Up here you can buy your license plate stickers up to 6 month before they actually expire (on your birthday). I bought mine online for two years. 3 days after I bought it, it was in my hand. Talk about speedy service! The Dodge is legal for another two years. The Jeep comes due next year. Trailer plates are lifetime and NO renewal.

I think that IF I continue doing what I am doing I will dodge the cv19 bullet, just like I dodged the SARS and all the other weird stuff coming from China.

I called Home Hardware yesterday looking for a steel drum roller 24"d x 48" long. The girl at the store said they have never carried that particular roller, although the catalogue says it is available, but she would put me in contact with someone in the store that knew more about it. On hold/ignore for about 5 minutes and then the phone went dead. I didn't call back. Instead I downloaded Farm Fleets' catalogue and ordered it from there. It is going to cost me about $500. It is a hollow steel drum with a removable bung for filling with the liquid of your choice.


Have a safe and healthy day all

45 outside this Am, heading to mid 70's. Hope that the grass dries out, to do some mowing.

Sorry to hear of the lens slip, David. Here is hoping for fast resolution. Vision issues can be depressing.

Nice Tractor, RNG.

Mine sits outside, no time of late to work the cover issue. I'd like to house it inside, something. I don't want to cut into any original building or barn to do it.

Have a good day all. Be safe.
