I'll use low range and first gear. You won't feel a thing. Or your last memory will be the sound of a diesel engine. Win/win. And I don't charge if I mess up, so there really isn't any risk.

Good evening all. 50F for the start, although Wunderground says it cooled off 2 more degrees after I read the thermometer. .1 inch in the rain gauge and some north wind already kicking up. High temp was 63, dew point has dropped back to about 20F, and the wind was 12-16 for a while then backed off. Bike ride this morning with the group, we all agreed the last few days felt cooler then you would expect, based on thermometer readings. did get a nice nap in

Woke up early to the rain, and decided to make coffee and finish the tax/LLC financial statements before more distractions steal me away again. 48 degrees outside feels kinda nice.
Kyle, hope you feel better. Seems like the TBN remedies may "fix" you right up.
RNG, that's a funky cane.
I've seen a Corvette towing a small trailer. So Rick, I'm afraid you're gonna have to throw that in the deal. Maybe RS can figure a way to weld a 3 point hitch on the back.
Got warm here early yesterday, but still managed to cut and split another load of firewood. With an inch of rain expected here today, won't take the tractor out again until it dries out, or freezes over.

Good morning all, 51 this morning headed to a high of 51. Our 100% chance of rain is still less than .01 in so far. Dry here and really need the rain. Woke up early, plan to take it easy today. Praying for you guys. Ed

all elephants, big and small, should go tail to trunk and walk out of the area...:thumbsup:
Warm morning here as expected, starting to rain, should rain all day and into tonight, about an inch but it looks like
a simple wet event, nothing troublesome. I really hustled yesterday to get work done in the field and got part done.
Did not get any hilling done but that can wait anyway. What I did get done is putting together, with a huge amount of effort, my 8x8
chain drag harrow I got from TSC. Much heavier than I thought, hard to deal with, and all the hooks were snagged in the wrong places.
It was quite the snarl. Got the fields leveled and ready to go once things dry out a bit from the upcoming rains.
Now that the travel trailer has left the shed, was able to move equipment around and put the bush hog away. Managed to get two rolling platforms under it so I can hook it up easily; it goes on the larger Massey which unlike the Kubota does not have adjustable telescoping links. What a great idea they are. An inelegant solution, now I need to build some proper rollers so I can get my nice rolling cart back. But when I was able to move the whole thing with one hand, well that made me smile. TSC has nice plastic rolling platforms, HF has cheaper ones. I try to find ones with larger wheels, easier to roll.
Saturday morning my plumbers showed up, two Mexican guys who work p/t on their own, work for a big plumbing firm in Greenville. Because of the hospital and colleges there, lots of construction and work going on there. He said his company has been going six days a week for two years now. Not much here...which isn't good for the area. They fixed my leaking underground pipe to barn. Sixth spot they've done so. We wanted to have a lottery as to who could guess how many times total they would have to do this...but now that they installed a shutoff in the line which was never there before, the whole process is easier.
We've already replaced one big section. If it keeps leaking/breaking old glue joints, we will just rip it all up and do it again. I have a subsoiler that should help laying the pipe. And since we have no rocks here, it actually might work.
So after they fixed the leaking pipe, we talked about running a permanent water supply line from the house over to the new garden area. Plus adding an electric booster pump to that one line.
It's only a hundred feet to the location, which is good. Plus we will tap off the larger inlet pipe and before the water goes through my whole house water filtration system. My understanding is that plants don't mind city water/a little chlorine. I'd wear out hundreds of dollars in filters in no time otherwise. I also have a broken private well, which could get resurrected for this purpose, but not this year. One step at a time. Water costs .9 cents per gallon here. My water bill runs from 25 to 60 dollars, the latter in the middle of watering season. Figure I'm going to add to that a bunch this year with a much bigger garden, a lot of new trees to water, etc. But a hundred bucks a month for three months is likely hugely less expensive than pulling up that well, replacing the pump, and running new piping quite a distance. All for consideration next year if all these veggies actually grow.
Got a lot of exercise this week, which felt good. But now a quiet morning. I like quiet Sunday mornings.
Some sausage and eggs to cook, with cranberry English muffin. And then am planting flowers, dahlias, cornflowers, zinnias, in seedling
pots to start making a few flower arrangements in pots. I can sit comfortably in my seat and just enjoy fiddling with the soil.
Much easier on my body than yanking on that chain harrow for sure.

We are at our high for the day of 23 with a 40% chance of flurries. Wind W 15 gusting to 23 mph.
I have absolutely nothing planned for today.
My SONIM Bolt cell phone wont take a charge without a lot of fiddling around with the charging cable, so that is going by the wayside and I bought me a new Samsung J 5 from Best Buy. Samsung Galaxy J5 Metal Dual SIM 16GB Smartphone - Black - Unlocked
That should be here by Wednesday with 2 day shipping.
Yesterday I picked up two of those fancy headlamps from Amazon. They should be here by Wednesday as well. LED Headlamp, SGODDE Super Bright 5 LED 8000 Lumens Zoomable Headlight - 4 Modes XML T6 LED Waterproof Head torch with Rechargeable Batteries for Outdoor Hiking Camping Hunting Fishing Cycling Running, Headlamps - Amazon Canada
Stay safe all

Drinking 2nd cup of coffee. 24° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 40° with partly cloudy skies. Got the gun safe home and in the house. A little miscalculation on my part. It will not fit into the spot that I was going put it in. Door knob on closet door kits safe when closet door is opened. Is there such a thing as a push button door knob? I will work something out. Wife says I cannot leave it in master bedroom. :ashamed: While typing this post wife came to my rescue. She gave up a very small amount of hanging space. I am sure this is going to cost me big time.
Drew, a dolly for Bush Hog. That's one item that I do not have a dolly for.
Kyle, take care of your back while you can.
RNG, I only have the charger on the Golf Cart. I should get a 12 volt one for the other batteries I have. Looking forward to response you get from them.
Wngsprd, my mind is wandering in all direction. Thinking about Riptide power washing anything that can move. Including????????????????
Prayers for all those not up to par.
Good Morning All

32 right now, high in the low to mid 40's.
Got some of the ice off the walks and deck yesterday...try to break up and scrape more today, I think.
Wifey and step-daughter went out and about yesterday and that TV stand assembly is (definitively) a two person job. Not so much the weight, but the sizes of some of the components, so that didn't get done. We'll see what we can do today, after step-daughter gets off work.

Good morning everyone. Sipping on 1st cup of coffee.
Rain last night 34F presently and cloudy. I might see some sun later and temperatures in the low 40F's.
It is good to read that people are starting to recover from the "Thing" and "Crud" and take things "easier" today.
Nothing planned other than the daily routine and puttering around. I may be helping a friend down the road set up his personal weather station. This will be good practice for me as my weather station is now down to indoor information and windspeed. I checked Davis already and see that nothing has changed as to the high prices and poor technical and product support and need for additional cables, etc. to get the data to the computer and/or internet.
+ thoughts and prayers
Have a good one everyone.
