Good Tractor Afternoon,

do they make a heated key?

I can only wish Drew ! Actually I use a small Raddioodity key for portable ops. I don’t dare take me beloved Vibroplex out of the house

I noticed that the rhubarb that we had been given last year that only managed to grow three four inch leaves last year

Ponytug, still have it growing up here in the mountains of Vermont but not for long

You mean that Vibroplex key doesn't have heated paddles

Billy, I don’t dare take the Beloved Vibroplex out of the radio shack, that was $250 plus for that jewel

On the homefront, Dona is still holding her own. No new symptoms of the lymphoma

God Bless Ted, Great news

Good Tractor Evening Thomas,
You asked me a few weeks ago about the Vermont wells , in answer to your question, yes we have some wells going dry

Fortunately we don’t use that much water here, cooking and a shower and only being part time residents we have escaped that fate so far

Good Tractor Evening,
Not spectacular but nice

Good evening With a high of 95˚ today I was surprised of the size of the crowds at the farm today. They were hoping for 6,000 today and lots of people were coming in after my shift ended, so I think they made it. Lots of full trailers today and next weekend will be the busiest.

It was a dust bowl today, of course it did not help that I took my EGO leaf blower to work to blow the leaves and white dust off the tractor, trailer, pig race seats and all the picnic tables.

Prayers for Dona LS

Nice building good size, Kinda favor Ram trucks, do you have mega cab

Been sick most of the day throwing up diarrhea freezing one minute burning up the next.

Thomas tell bears hello

Good Evening

Buppies, you need a hot toddy and go to bed. If you've got an electric blanket turn it on. Sweat that crud out of you.

Was invited over to friends house last night for supper, then we sat outside around a fire. Was nice.
Today was computer work while the grass was wet, then afternoon I worked outside, helped trim up a lilac shrub, used ranger to haul off stuff, mowed the front, used the BX to move left over stone that has been piled in front of my shed, put it behind the barn. Cleaned out all my spray tanks, 4 got rinsed out, mixed up and wife sprayed 2 gal roundup, then it got emptied, sevin sprayer got emptied, cleaned up the corner all the sprayers sat in. figured out why the last time I sprayed roundup it didn't work, I had used the sevin sprayer, thought it was the roundup sprayer.
Also took golf cart for a spin to gather SD card from the back camera. Got one tresspasser on it, just caught half of a guys face, and didn't get another pic of him. Lots of deer, including 7 in one pic. A nice buck comes out at night.
more computer work tonight.

A balmy 70F and mostly clear @ 21:00. Heading down to around 65F for the overnight low.

Rain due in tomorrow.

Got the holes for two gate posts on east fence line filled in to within an inch or so of grade and compacted.

After that decided to follow L4N’s suggestion and use the PHD to extract the stuck bucket in that one hole.

That worked great … even managed to not totally destroy the bucket …

After that got two more line posts set and braced on the north fence line, one of which was a gate post.

And then got those two holes back-filled and compacted to within an inch or so of grade.

Woman and I tag-teamed on all the tamping/compacting.

We were interrupted by a neighbor who came down looking for signatures … ostensibly as a Committee Man (“Committee Person” I guess, since she is a woman) to the County Central Committee of a political party.

The Woman signed … just to be pleasant I suppose.

I declined to sign … since she completely misrepresented what it was that she was doing … and what she was looking for signatures for … which I discovered when I asked for the paperwork to inspect all the pages and not just the signature page.

Not at all surprising.
