Good morning!!!!

Lunch break!

I crawled under the 1947 Farmall "A" and checked the clutch linkage, looked OK, and then I patted the 1947 Farmall's belly and encouraged it to go one more year, sat on tractor put it in gear, depressed the clutch, it started up without moving, Let the clutch out started moving, shifted to all gears, and it's completely healed now - works perfectly. I mowed weeds taller than the tractor for 2 hours this morning, even the steering bolts that had been backing out that I put Loctite on stayed put. A good mowing morning. Just call me the tractor whisperer.

Don, I'll definitely call you the tractor whisperer if you can perform a similar miracle over the phone next time the Kubota here acts up :laughing::thumbsup:

Wow, time flies on a day off.

Pulled the old Pilot into the garage to install a new catalytic converter so it will pass emissions test. New catalyst from honda, came with bolts, but no nuts. The nuts on the old one are now a mass of rust, there's no way to get the old one off short of just cutting the bolts. Decided I would let a shop handle this one, just didn't want to mess with it.

cleaned up a little in the garage, then came in as it is getting pretty humid out.

I still need to do something with the poison ivy covered tree that fell onto my property and crushed a fence. I have a small outbreak on my arm from the poison ivy, from when I took an axe to the vine to kill it. maybe ill try to scrape the ivy off the tree with the backhoe.

waiting for the grass to dry some so I can mow the back field.

Then going to the firemens carnival tonight.

71ｰF and only .02 inches rain last 24 hours.

We brought our 9 yo granddaughter and her 8 yo cousin back to Hawaii with us, Granddaughter is here for remainder of summer, cousin for 3 weeks. One could say life will be quite different for us this summer LOL

Farmer - some of those numbers you cite make me tired

Drew - that aluminum angle, routed in will be a nice finish, just might add that to my own project list (for next year)

It IS great to be back home, back in my own bed. Arizona was nice, but not researching a move there. The dogs are pleased to have us back as well as 2 playmates.
Our sitters did a fantastic job and it sounds like they enjoyed their stay here as well.

Well, back to reality. Had to make a Costco run to Kona yesterday, errands in Hilo today.

Be safe
Have a great day

There's no place like home. Hope you had a good trip.

Don, if you value whipper's life any, you might want to do something about the coyotes now that they are getting that brave.

Good Morning Everyone, Hope your weekend is starting out well. Hope everyone stays safe on this holiday. 74 with a high of 98 today, 0% chance of rain

Buppies - where are you going? We leave early Sunday morning for Ohio, I think Farmer said he was coming to FL tomorrow

Drew - Glad to know you have patriotic turtles

I refueled the tanks ($300) and the tractor and mower, changed blades on the mower, finished mowing the grass and had time to take the wife out for Italian for her birthday dinner.

Today I am sending a worker to tear down an old wood fence and the new one will go back up when I get back. I have to go change locks in a house 45 minutes away, and hook up my repaired receiver to the "Home Theater" then start getting things ready to go

Going to Litchfield Beach South Carolina probably Sunday

 

[Buppies]

a little cooler today with rain coming in this afternoon. Actually chance of thunderstorms every day now in the forecast.
Need to get my little American flags out for the turtles to wave around.
Buppies, have a wonderful time.

Thanks Drew been a long spring early summer working season, sales up 30 percent from last year at this time. Getting tough for two people to handle all the paper work that goes with this kind of volume. First year we will miss fireworks in 15 years

Got the back field mowed.

Took the chain saw to parts of the poison ivy covered tree, and then immediately took a shower. Did not get it all cut, but will now take the pallet forks and move what I can. Wish I had a grapple.

Did not make it to the firemens carnival, but I can hear the fireworks they are having right now.

Have a safe and Happy 4th tomorrow!

It doesn't work over the phone - I must place my hand on the belly of the tractor and whisper into the tire.:dove:

 

[buckeyefarmer]

How do you turn a tractor on?

speak sexy to it.........
