Looks like it might be much ado ... about nothing ?

AT&T Tells Customers To Upgrade Their Phones To Avoid Losing Voice Calls -- Two Years Early - Slashdot

Yep I'll think about new phones in 17 months or maybe switch to Verizon to get their deal of the day for new lines If reception quality can be verified in the areas that I use the cell.

RNG you made the tank look salvageable.

RNG you fall into the category piling on many project, all going on at the same time. You will probably never get angst from the end of thrilling projects.

At&T is getting rid of 3G in 2022. Verizon is getting rid of it this year. Verizon is not accepting a change over with our phones (3G) now. At least I still have service for a year and a half with at&t. (Feb 2022). The email made it sound like it was going to be real soon - I almost thought it was a spam email because of the lack of details and the wording - other people did too.

Yup - ATT's marketing department needs to be taken out back behind the woodshed and slapped real good.

Kyle, has Verizon reception gotten any better in your county. When visitors came to our place and had Verizon they had no reception.

That's the problem I had with Verizon as well.

For those with older phones with AT&T shut down of 3G:

Once you get a grapple .. you'll never know how you've lived without one. You'll need a 3rd function solenoid valve also and I can vouch for the WR Long. I've got them on both tractors and a prior tractor.

The Everything Attachment's Wicked grapples are a real value IMHO. I've got a 73" WG for utility tractors, on my 55 HP tractor and an 84" Blue Diamond on my 100 HP tractor.

I went with this one to get the 42.5" jaw opening primarily for picking up brush and trimmed tree limbs.

Mega Compact Utility Tractor Wicked Root Grapple from Everything Attachments

I use the big grapple for moving complete trees.

I was at the dealer about 4 weeks ago and they had a grapple for my little tractor that used linear actuators. It was very fast and rated for the same loads as the hydraulic unit for $1000 less and no power beyond needed. Got me thinking.

It's a wonder this didn't happen years ago. Given the excellent performance of Asian engines, especially Honda and Subaru, why would anyone buy something with a B&S engine in it, unless they just didn't know any better?:confused3:

Or they were tired of fueling Chinese expansionism. Most people aren’t buying the Honda, they’re buying the Chinese Honda knockoff, Predator.

That tank looks impressively better, RNG. Great job.

Roy, glad to hear you had good visit and pleasing reports.

 

[sodamo]

RNG, wow, that's a lot of progress and seriously yukky job
David/Sodamo, I see there's a hurricane headed your way. Hope it doesn't wash your new topsoil away

quiet day here, glad to hear Roy is doing ok

Potentially could be a mess at supply pile, but the area where spread not so much. Worst case it would collect at low point and need to be respread, but I don’t think it would wash out of that area.

92/105, dew point 70°, a breeze is helping some. We missed the rain again, heavy rain and a bow echo just a couple of miles north. Looking at radar I didn’t see how it could miss us, but it did.

Good news Roy!

So far my production is below quota for the day, but maybe I’ll get motivated this afternoon.

Have a good one.
