Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

The second project of the day was the tooth bar install on the tractor.... that too did not go as planned. The tooth bar was a perfect fit.... at the front cutting edge on the bucket only. Apparently LS tapers the buckets on the sides, getting smaller front to rear. There was no way to bend the side mounting bars to fit.

So, we cut off the tabs, put the bar in place, and re-welded the mounts back on to follow the angle. I'll drill the bucket and get it mounted after I finish cleaning up the shop.....

Everyone have a great day!

I didn't have that issue .. when I installed my Piranha Tooth Bar?

70ｰF and .30 inches rain last 24 hours.

Another day piddling about. So tempting to jump on the tractor to mow the middle area but will give it another day.

Maybe a good day to play with my network.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

For some reason I just remembered a time several years ago when I fell off the ladder climbing up on a 988 Cat loader. I landed awkwardly and messed up my back. Made the mistake of listening to a co worker and going to chiropractor who made it worse. I finally went to our family doc and he gave me some pain pills and told me to not sit in a soft chair and that if my vehicle had the comfortable seats just coming into style back then to get one of the old fashioned cool cushions with the springs inside and woven fiber covering. That helped a lot but I was still in a lot of pain so my wife found an exercise on the computer that said to stand with your feet about shoulder width and your arms straight out to the sides.While standing as straight as possible you twist your body to the left as far as possible then to the right. Repeat this 50 times in each direction every morning. After the first session I was amazingly better and fine within a week. I stopped a couple of times when I thought I was all fixed up but would relapse after a short time so just made it a habit to do this exercise every morning first thing. Now I never have any back pain unless I do something really stupid which is easy for me to do.

Good luck and I feel for your bad back is no way to live.

Eric, the auto shift transmissions shift up when you don't want them to even in manual mode. They also 'hunt' for the right gear when they should be dropping two/three gears at a time. Some of the hills we deal with are huge (think Sheffield, UK).

I ran down Hwy 11, there might be more moose on 11, but the hills are easier than 17. I also brought 68,500 lbs of product with me, to be unloaded on Tuesday afternoon after buddy loads his load. (Tanks are full).
Grossing 115,800 lbs on big hills on 17 with a sick motor wasn't a good idea.
The hills where we are going now aren't as big.

Good morning! 73˚F. The tempest weather station is having hiccups. It goes off line then goes on line. It missed about half of the rain fall yesterday,( almost 1.5" total). It is plugged into the UPS so there is no interruption of power. The only other remedy's is to move the receiver closer to the window and away from the UPS. I have an email sent to Weatherflow. All their troubleshooting is to get the tempest on line but nothing tell what to do with an intermittent problem. RNG could figure it out but he's not a normal person.

Sounds like the rain may be interfering with the radio signal between the weather station and the base, Don. Is there any way to move the weather station closer to the base, or the base closer to the weather station?

Here's a link to a troubleshooting page, but I bet you've already gone through it.

It mentions a repeater, and it isn't clear to me if it's a repeater made by the same company as the weather station, or if it's a WiFi range extender on your network. If the former, and you don't already have one, you might consider getting one, especially if it's inconvenient to move either the weather station or the hub.

As for your "normal" comment, I'm not quite sure how I should take that.:laughing:

David (MFW) I really like your new avatar. Your little girl reminds me a lot of our Grand daughter ...

Time together is never enough and they grow up way too fast.

Jim,

I also love that picture. I use it as the lock screen on my phone also. She is awesome. Your Grand daughter sounds pretty awesome also.

Yes, they grow up way too fast. Friday my son turns 35...

Time with my youngest daughter is extremely precious to me.

Be well.
David

72F and "fair" @ 12:00. 0% chance of precipitation today, 10% tonight, and 60% tomorrow.

The Lawn Mower has informed me she needs the MMM put on the Kubota - STAT !

Because the grass needs mowed and she's ready to get going on it ...

Hard to argue with that.

:laughing:

Careful, RS, my Snap-On man sez he can tell when someone busted a non-impact socket with an impact wrench. But he still gives 'em a new one.

If you're not wailing on it, the likelihood of cratering one probably isn't real high ...

So far, mine are holding up.

What are ya gonna do when you run out of stuff to plant?

That's probably a long, long time away ... sometime late next year ... at the very minimum.

Assuming all I do next summer is plant/transplant ...

:laughing:
