I think those trailers are for carrying pallets and crates across the fields.
Yes, a automatic licence limits you to automatic cars only.
I personally have manual, auto, Heavy vehicle, bus, motorcycle and marine pleasure craft. To use a tractor on the road or when working for someone else, you need a tractor licence. Not so on your own property. Fork lift requires a licence also.

In NZ if you get your licence in an 'automatic' vehicle you are not allowed/supposed to drive a 'manual' vehicle for 2 years. I encouraged both my grandkids to borrow their fathers manual Toyota when they went.

Finished my biochar project. A new use for the COVID mask. I should get a blender to really pulverize it next time. My little sledgehammer really got a workout along with my screen sifter. The biochar is in the compost giving the microbes a boost. In about a week or so I’ll take the robust compost to the garden.

I wondered about that charcoal when you were discussing. It is what I burn in my Primo.
Glad it’s dual purpose.

good morning all. Up too early but slept well so going to take advantage of a couple extra hours by baking some cranberry orange muffins for landlord
when she comes for coffee this morning.
When baking is done, have beets to pick and then storms coming in after lunch.

hope you all have a nice weekend.
Hug those you love.

 

[ronjhall]

Waiting on first cup of coffee to cool. 68° with rain this morning. Heading to 79° with thunderstorm throughout the day. 1.58" of rain since yesterday. Did not get anything done except visit my Aunt yesterday. Lots to talk about. Hope to get back at table and chairs today.
This may be a sign that I have gotten enough rain this week. Over 4" since Monday.

Mostly, when I went out to take pictures of Thistle. I had camera in one hand and weed wacker in other. Got mixed up on sequence of use before I got a good picture.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

60° right now...high in the low 80's

Dump run in an hour, then maybe get a haircut. Other chores are going to depend on the weather. Mowing is done, but I need to get out and do some more string trimming and pull some weeds (they seem like they popped up overnight). We'll see how it goes...

Wife and stepdaughter are having a hell of an adventure. I'd written in my last post that they, somehow, ended up in Harper's Ferry, WV. My guess is when they came up 95 around Washington DC, they got off on a southbound exit rather then a northbound...not too hard to do if one isn't familiar with the insane roads around DC.
Anyway, I gave them directions (north on Route 15, east on route 30) to York PA. The plan was to stay at a hotel/motel in the York area...but there is a car/hot rod show in York and there wasn't a room available. Finally, with the assistance of the other (Florida) stepdaughter, ther found a motel with ONE room open. They sure had a hell of a day!!! Anyway, wifey wants to visit a discount store she used to shop at when we lived in Windsor PA (few miles outside of York). They should make it home today, late...

 

[daugen]

Roy, may your loved ones drive safely and not see anything too expensive...
Now the question is what is their next adventure?...

dinger just went off, muffins are done. Little bit of sweet orange smell in the air.

 

[Buppies]

wngsprd I am sorry great picture fond memories

She has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you now. Prayers for you and your family and heal from your surgery. Thinking of you all today and shedding a tear for Coco

York, PA brings back some great memories.

About 40 years ago, I was sent to York for work to audit a casket company. Can’t remember the name of the company, but they were in a huge building. They built wood and metal caskets.

It was strange walking thru the place seeing caskets in all different stages of completion.

We had to fly to Washington and drive to York.

It was quite the experience. First time I’d ever been to Washington.

Turns out, they sent me with another auditor, a young lady right out of school. We got married 5 years later!

I’ll never forget York, PA.

I drove thru harpers ferry last night, didn’t see anyone lost. I also was ordering tickets for a concert in York PA. REO speed wagon and Styx. The next night is Alabama. I will probably spend a night there.

 

[toppop52]

Wngsprd, your Buddy was named for a beautiful spot!

 

[Popgadget]

Good Morning.
72 going to low 80’s with little chance of rain and plenty of sun.

Yesterday, got two more speakers ready to ship and mowed all the big areas with the Kubota and Progressive, cooked Salmon and steaks on the grill for a family dinner with kids, and then a band rehearsal after that. It was a busy day.

Today will be much more relaxed, I’ll glue and clamp a couple of speakers, but then have the day to myself as the glue cures.

Never worked there, but it's a York icon

Hope you get in the tournament

Don how fine does the biochar need to be?

I have just crossed over from the amateur to the pro in H&F card playing. I won 2nd place in the tournament last night and was awarded the $8 second place prize by winning 4 of 5 games with a high score. (First place was the only 5 game winner.) I hope turbo tax has a place to list my winning so I can pay the tax to be considered officially Pro by the government.

While I was there I glanced at the "Monday Night" cumulative quarterly rankings sheet. Even with a dismal 2 wins last week it was enough to slip into first place again. Now they are gunning for me. (Is it ok to say that - so many old sayings are PC incorrect now days.)

Mostly the best size for the biochar is 1-4mm. I'm letting the biochar inoculate for 2 weeks in the compost pile before I mix it with the garden soil.

Good morning! 80˚F heading to the mid 90s, partly cloudy.
