see some country. Life is good...
Head West young Steppenwolfe!
have a wonderful trip
Made good progress on the tractor. Back half had none of the paint problems of front half, this time using
oem paint. Shiny sticky red paint. A few small oversprays, some fisheyes, who knows what got on that tractor in 20 years. I rubbed it in cleaning alcohol, must not
have cut through something odd. Like teflon or something that is really hard to get off. If you can get paint to stick to teflon, I'm buying the next beer for all of you.
Got word today my Everything Attachments cultivator bar with assorted hillers and spikes will be coming next week. Even if I practice on the frozen collards next door, it will get me ready for the Spring. Next Spring, going to do a little farming. Got the orchards in, despite losing so many pecan trees, but I can only do one of these big all consuming projects a year. That nut orchard was and is a lot of work, and now I have to replant about ten pecans in the Spring. But not from the place I got them from last time. I'm heading out with truck and trailer and I'm going to find some pecans with leaves on them. That's an issue for crossing state line. I could get arrested. One of you would have to vouch for me. I'm in trouble.
And honest fool that I am,
it's even premeditated interstate agricrime. No more shipping, I'm going to do my best to bring some home that I know with my own eyes are alive. Not dormant and possibly dead.
Been there done that.
It's really dumb, if you are buying this stuff, why can't they just spray it before you pick it up, just like I could spray it when I get home. But the latter is NG because the little infectious buggies have already lept into my orchards. They need to be sprayed first. Then I wouldn't have any moral qualms about my interstate agricrime.
Actually, if I rented a small enclosed Uhaul, and when I got home, opened the door and fogged the entire inside with my orchard sprayer, that would do it too.
I've never been in handcuffs. Not going to start now.
