rs, regarding the bucket at the bottom of the hole, how about using your auger to punch through the bottom of the bucket and lift the auger up while it is turning. You will loose a bucket but at the same time get it out of the hole.

I talked to the mechanic and played him the video, he is leaning towards glow plugs, too. They will be picking the tractor up on Monday. I took both the loader and BB off.
The Z turn is in its' winter home and the Dodge gets its parking spot back.
I may get around to the body work tomorrow. I've got all the stuff to do the job except for the get up and go.

Drew, I have standard Y blades on my Woodmaxx FM 62h.

I did the Y blades years ago, prefer the hammers.
Have toyed with idea of using a mixed set. Would have to work out the balance.

48.7 low of 48.6 grass is growing like crazy need to tend to that. Pond back full after recent rains. Tired as usual nothing really new more of the same. One year and tree months since we’ve been anywhere miss our travels

Happy Anniversary David and Sophie

Happy Birthday PopG

Prayers for uncle Ken

Pup has chewed up two pair of shoes both sets of reading glasses straining to do this

Safe travels Drew you will be in our sons neck of the woods

Prayers for all our Country

Our pup, Makana has an affinity for Sophie’s shoes. Only chewed 1, but always relocating them.

David, what you chow down on there is a lot tougher than normal, nice if you can get best of both worlds

safe and sound in Goose Creek park just east of Washington NC.
interesting drive, bridge was fine but when I got to those enormous farm fields near Elizabeth City, I can see why they erected a lot of windmills there, whooosssh
didn't move me around much, direction must have been good. No beam winds please...

pretty drive down 17 and then 32 coming down here. Almost no traffic on the road.
then got to this campground and it went South.
guy still in my site, older couple, huge fifth wheel trailer, I walked up and told them nicely they were half an hour late, and i'm waiting to get in. They honestly seemed clueless, seemed to wander around a lot. I guess this is what aging out of fifth wheels is like.
The guy seemed puzzled as to why I was there. First time I've ever had that happen.
They finally left at 1:30pm after I waited more than half an hour. Technically check in isn't til 3 but most places ignore that if the prior folks have left.

hooked everything up and took a long hot shower, wiped off grime of the road.
spent a lot of time with window down, including one 15 minute backup due to a bad intersection car accident.

found out yesterday my aftermarket color back up camera was out, likely needs to be paired again. Will dig out the instructions and do that.

latest study says and reaffirms that black coffee is good for longevity.
maybe time to make another pot, little four cupper in the rv. And maybe not since I need to sleep better tonight.

I have a set of Hammer blades. But do not need them in this field. Picture is showing about 1/2 of what i cut yesterday.

Took a train ride this morning at Rock Hill Furnace.

Then took a tour of their Machine shops. Old DC Lincoln Welders, and a radial drill. Of course everything was belt driven. Super cool. Could have spent hours in there.
