David, glad tractor came out ok.

I woke up early again, couldn’t get back to sleep. Suddenly developed a cough.
Alarm about ready to go off.

good morning all
great job on tractor extrication David. You guys managed to do it all and not even get tractors dirty!

off to run errands this morning, dropping off some apples to friend with wife who just learned she had breast cancer.
That's five friends at the moment with cancer. I sent her a big fleece comforter last week; sent back a pic of her wrapped in it.
And her eyes were wide and sort of in shock, she is very body conscious and the idea of a mastectomy is really frightening to her.
She tries radiation first. My friend's wife where I had dinner last night also had breast cancer, and did fine. It's helpful to tell one friend how
well another did. Whole thing is scary at beginning. Wasn't for me, only scared for my wife when she got sick.
Most of us are fix it guys and being unable to fix your sick wife is not much fun.

getting my car washed at good car wash in Newtown, only one in area that does a really nice job. Then off to NAPA to pick up some Pri-D for my
brother's diesel tractor. House present when I visit at Thanksgiving. Apples and Pri-D; what more could a man want? ;)

Oldest brother is like my father, both attorneys, both confused by an adjustable wrench.
When I got sick, and wasn't sure I was coming back anywhere, I gave my Kubota RTV-400 and my log splitter to brother in VA.
So I'm taking him a care package of Sea Foam, Stabil 360 and Pri-D.

I also special ordered 7 small wood baskets of apples, I think half pecks or whatever. Taking them down to NC to hand out some good PA apples next week.
Taking one basket to my old primary doctor, who discovered my cancer, and another basket to my old oncologist who I can thank for being here today.
all those apples in car should smell nice.

be safe and be well. One day at a time.

David, great job on recovering the Kubota. Slow and careful is the way to go in these recoveries and glad you were able to manage a safe recovery. You have a grateful neighbor for sure.
I have done a few recoveries of equipment here including a tow truck that got stuck. Got it out by digging in the bucket and hooking to upper part of bucket and then pivot it back a foot or so and repeat. Worked

Good morning, the low was 22 and the high to 30°F. Wind WNW 11 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

I cant seem to find my laser thermometer. I really wanted to check to see how hot the engine block got on the tractor with it being plugged in for 2 hours before I tried to fire it up. It IS around here, somewhere.

We (junior and I) got the well top moved and spotted where neighbour lady wanted it
We've taken 3 trailer loads of stuff out of here so far to the dump. It appears that over the past 3 years (they've been married 12 yrs) he gave her free reign with the credit card and she spent every nickle (no more pennies up here) of it. Oh well, happy wife, happy life. She's history now. RIP no more pain.

The right front corner of the Dodge is 'marking its territory' and the coolant tank is low. I can't get the pressure cap off, so it will be a trip to the garage before the Dodge goes anywhere other than to the garage. I will call them this morning.

Other than going to the garage I think today will be an energy conservation day.

Have a safe day all

Good Morning
It’s 35 with a high of 43 projected for today under clear skies.

Yesterday was generally productive, Amazon delivered the oil filters and Worx gutter cleaning kit. I tried it with both the Makita and Stihl hand blowers, both worked well. Got the oil filter on the Lazer, chafers to the restaurant. Made a trip to TSC, picked up a couple of gallons of 15-40 Valvoline and piece of 3/4” steel angle.

I’m using the angle to make supports to mount led lighting to my wife’s display racks for winter shows. I’m going to use 3/4” EMT for the uprights, the angle will be what hooks on to the racks. Here is the angle getting milled to fit the round tubing. Undecided as to whether to MiG or braze them to the EMT.

Took care of a few other indoor tasks, made it to the Q-Mart for a late lunch.

Today will start off with getting the light supports finished, and then continue to clean up the accumulated mess in the shop.

My friend was confirmed as one of the six lost in the Dallas accident, nice mention of him on the ABC news this morning.
He will be missed by many, he was active in his community, and a good friend to everyone that he encountered.
