- 2012 Kioti CK27HST w/cab
34 °F and going to a high of 57. Wind NE 14 mph. Mainly cloudy.
The fallen tree is done, like dinner. I am going to let the sections that I took off the main trunk dry and rot in place on the south side of the mound. That will give the rabbits another place to den up. I found a 10 lb bag of 32-0-0 fertilizer. I am told that high nitrogen will rot out a tree pdq. (I cannot get potassium nitrate anymore without a whole bunch of hoops to jump through) I speared a couple of deep (14") holes with the bar and pulled out a fair amount of the dry rot from the center and in went the fertilizer, all 10 lbs of it. Now I am waiting for the rain that will come on Monday.
While I was messing with the tree stump, my computer was doing a full system backup. 209 gigs and so far it has taken 24 hours and still going. It is all going on a Western Digital external hard drive. This is all in preparation for a windows 10 upgrade to the win 7 I am running.
The Kioti and hoe got greased yesterday, that is the final greasing until the fall when I get back. I also changed the grease gun hose over to the hose that has the Lock-n-lube fitting on it. The Lnl is too big to fit into the pockets for my zerks, so I use the old school style. The Lnl will work no problem on my trains.
I have almost all of the parts for the exhaust reroute on the Kioti. I need 1, 1 3/4 clamp and 2, 2" ones and fashion a upper bracket for the stack. IF my measurements are correct, then the exhaust will exit just below the roof and off to the left. While I am northwest I will have a better chance to get more parts. There is a Fort Garry Industries in Thunder Bay and that is where I get most of my automotive parts.
That was my weekend in a nutshell.
As for eating groundhog, I would IF I was hungry enough. Well done for me.
Have a good day all
