Welcome home all you travelers.

Actually got a few hours mowing today. Grilled a couple steaks and some precooked BBQ ribs and baked potato. I enjoyed my steak and wife and girls demolished the ribs.

Anyone still use 35mm film? I just ran across an unopened box of 6 rolls, and another box of APS film that i never used. The APS says develop by 2003. I think I have a roll of APS still in my camera, but the battery is dead so can't get the display to come on.

Evening fellows, hope everyone had a great weekend.
My dog has been eating grass clipping and it makes him sick sometimes. Tried solving the grass clipping problem by buying a mulching kit for the Rider I have, clipping were smaller and it cut down the dog from eating them but he still find clumps here and there. Wife has had enough and told me to buy a bagger for the John Deere. Lowes here in Canada wanted $449 for a bagger for the D110 and Home Depot wanted $269. Used Home Depots price matching policy to my advantage and got the bagger there at the Lowes price plus they took another 10% off, so got the bagger for about $405. Still a lot of money so I hope it solve the problem.

Our dogs love lawn mower cuds. Eating them doesn't seem to bother them. I just said to Sharon the other day a bagger would be the solution and good for compost too. We don't use any weed killers or fertilizer on the yard.

Good to see you are home safely and enjoyed the trip. Hope the horse/cart driving instructions were useful.

78F here this evening after a high of 90F. I gave myself the day off.

Thanks Dave, it was very educational, and makes me appreciate my Kubota all that much more. I think I would love to find a rock in my fields... :laughing: Any rocks you find here are old spills of concrete from cleaning trucks.

Farmer glad you made it home, I had some of the same traffic on Saturday. Cost us about 3 hours total in 4 different states, spent the night in SC but was hoping for GA. Today was a breeze. I will admit that I had the cruise set at 80, and was constantly passed like I was standing still.

Drew, Took me a while to get thru this feed, but sorry to hear the boat didn't work out, glad to hear it was just a strained muscle, and glad it didn't take long to fix the A/C.

Roy, glad you survived the audit, I hate when the state does one on me.

Hope everyone else s doing good, I am now looking at how much money I spent to see if I can afford to add another mouth to this family, my wife wants this 2yo pretty bad...


I will post pics of school if anyone wants to see massive horses dragging me around

We have Labrador ***** that eats grass, grapes, picks cherries from tree, tomatoes from the wine, feasts on mulberries and who knows what else. Fortunately her digestion system handles that well. Never saw her sick. She pukes the grass balls sometime.

Morning all.
I managed to mow the front field yesterday but got a bit aggressive with some apple brush and noticed a new vibration. Checking the cutter over I found the bolts that mount the gear box to the deck had loosened up and I could twist the gear box back and forth a quarter inch. Of course the nuts are up under the stump jumper so the blades and pan had to come off. I got stuck on loosening the bolts as they don't want to turn so they spent the night with PB blaster on them. Once I get them off I'll add washers under the nuts and might even tack weld the washers and nuts so I can tighten from above without diss-assembly.

Rain came as they predicted this morning. I am not complaining as it was an unusually dry spring and the ponds could do with a bit of a top up.

After six months of owning a tractor with a cab, I have concluded there is found one thing it is rubbish at - herding sheep. They can't here my words of encouragement from inside and engine noise alone is insufficient to get them moving. Cab window design doesn't help at all, I mean, having a fully opening rear window isn't much use unless I drive around everywhere in reverse. I tried opening the right side door to yell out my usual "Come on" while driving up to them. That did get their attention, though mostly because I inadvertently caught the loader joystick, plowing the pasture and sending up divots of turf in their direction. Whoops, won't try that again.
Perhaps one day, when I am even more decrepit, I will get an RTV. For now it looks like I'll stick to alternating between shanks pony and the Subaru.

One other conclusion from yesterday is that tractors with hydrostatic transmission (with or without cab) are very, very good at inching very slowly and smoothly while hauling on a rope. I will see if the pictures came out and update the pond project later today.
