Battery was just about flat when I tried to start the kubota this morning. Called into Autozone to see if it was still under warranty and found out I missed it by about 30 days.

Ended up going with a NAPA instead ... their 75 month battery was $10 cheaper than the 60 month from Autozone. Got that swapped out and started moving wood chips and they showed up with another load. Said they were clearing a pipeline a couple miles away and he'd be back at the end of the day with another, he didn't make it so they may not have filled the truck up yet. They had another job close by so he could be by tomorrow.

Still had some coals in the burn pile so I started stacking the wood on ... got most of the second pile burnt, just a little more to do tomorrow if the rain holds off. Looks like it might arrive around daybreak though.

Wood chip compost pile:

Area I cleared off to store firewood, across the driveway from the shop:

Looking back southwest across the "wood yard":

Just need the weather to cool off a little so I can start splitting and stacking.

Wow. Lots of fires. Sounds like Oroville has had a rough year.

Looks a lot like work. Lots of work. My neighbor has a burn pit he lets me use. I just took some old cabinets over there today. He is doing a lot of clearing on his property, and I think he likes playing with fire.

Good evening all. yesterday report was still in autosave:71F for the low, clear sky and light wind. Winds licked quite a bit today, sky clouded up some this afternoon, and high temp was 94F. Might rain some tonight, less than .3 in of rain since late August . And not much in forecast either. Choir practice this morning, weed control the rest of the morning.
Today's report:Good evening all. 52F this morning, windy (gusts 20+) and overcast. .6 in the rain gauge, and irrigation did not run this morning . High temp was 67F, wind kept going, and sky cleared off early. Had a funeral to go to, father of one of the guys I bike with, was an avid cyclist, but had Alzheimers and was not biking when I joined group. 78 years young, never degenerated as bad a Dad did, died on Mom's one year anniversary her death.

Irv, who doe not like playing with fire? :confused3:

Randy, knarly looking leg

DABSGT sorry about Bella, condolences and prayers sent.

Don FF went well, and it is moved, excellent news.

Sorry about your pup Dabs. The toughest thing about owning a dog, is what you had to do today. Condolences from Texas.

Randy, tetanus up to date? Take care of that leg, watch for redness and excess swelling. I know your wife is a doctor. I just hope you get well soon.

Rs, you got the market cornered on firewood and chips.

Prayers for fires in California. I believe I stayed at that Hilton that got burned up in Santa Rosa many years back...

I am fighting the steering tilt locking gas strut mechanism for the 5420's steering wheel. It is a bear just to get all the slightly rusted hardware apart. I made a small pin press out of a small c-clamp, but the 10mm dowel I was trying to press out of the bottom of the cylinder, was just a tad too rusty...I got my die grinder out with a 3" cut off wheel and fixed it. Why the heck they didn't just use a 10 mm bolt, I have no idea. I'm putting a bolt back in it's place.


This photo doesn't even show the dowel at the base of the cylinder....#23

81 today. Currently 72 and headed to 55.

2 more inches of rain today in less than 2 hours. Had several roads closed for a few hours but think they’re all open again now. Lots of low lying soybeans under water. Could be lost crops. Everything stayed below flood stage Sunday and Monday was dropping but after this it looks like we might have some rivers go above flood stage. Not unusual after 8.5 inches in under 72 hours.

Bull passed vet check. So we’re headed up Wednesday to get him.

Dabsgt sorry for your loss.

RNG stay safe. Wish you had some of our water.

52 right now...high about 60 today.

I'm really sorry to read about Bella's passing. Letting a pup go, even when you know it's the right thing to do, is a tough decision. Love our dogs and it's hard to let a great companion go...

 

[Buppies]

71 high of 84 showers about very little here

RS looks like you have your work cut out for you

 

[Buppies]

Farmer glad the bull checked out I'm sure a good addition to the herd

 

[ronjhall]

First cup of coffee has been poured. 51° with steady rain this morning. Heading to 56° with rain most of the day. Did not cut lawn yesterday. Maybe Friday after things dry out. Do not think it's going grow much with temperatures in the 50's/60's. Got a bunch of little jobs done though. Inside day. Somehow a stone hit one of the windows in kitchen. Serviceman should be out early afternoon to install new glass.
Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

52F now low 60's for high.
Finish trimming lower field also spruce trees plot,after work just set and mow for the last time this year for those areas. :dance1:
Leaves start to drop at good pace now,steady wind sure would save me a lot of work come the weekend doing leaves.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[Thomas]

DABSGT.
Sorry for the loss of your love one,pet sure can pull the heart strings.

RIP Bella.

 

[Buppies]

Thomas a cold front will come thru soon to help with your leaf situation

 

[txdon]

Good morning! Almost as cold as Roy with 56˚ this morning heading to a nice 75˚.

Cut back and mowed a mile of trail yesterday 2 more to go.

 

[wngsprd]

72 and raining, hooray! Should get up to 78.

Thunderstorms started about 10pm and came through all night. We are close to 5 inches now...Farmer, I think your rain moved over here. Finally got a chance this morning to check whether my roof flashing caulk repair worked...no moisture detected on the ceiling Looking forward to hiking down to the creek after it gets light to see if our creek is flowing again. Also will check to see if the close lightning strike around midnight hit any trees along my trail. It was a loud one.

DABSGT, Sorry to hear Bella is gone. Hope you consider getting another pup soon.

Randy, how's your leg today?

Don, isn't it a real motivator to get work done when you know you are going to have company?

 

[txdon]

Don, isn't it a real motivator to get work done when you know you are going to have company?

Yes it is, along with cool weather, and the working machine is fired up. WOW, It just dropped another degree, now 55˚. :thumbsup:

Why the heck they didn't just use a 10 mm bolt, I have no idea.

I bet Deere saved a nickel on every tractor by using that stud, Kyle! :laughing:
