Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

not good, hope that's a regional thing. I never did ask ETA.........
I'll let you know what I'm told tomorrow, which of course means nothing until the unit actually shows up.
I waited almost two months for a Bush Hog mower much to the chagrin of the Massey dealer.
Sure won't be selling my current mower until the new one is proven operational.

I just love talking about working in the dirt and mowing stuff while our New England and Canadian friends are slithering around pushing snow drifts.
There were even flowers blooming outside, I think camelias. They however are about to get frozen along with everything else.
This is exactly the cold snap I need for my fruit trees to go fully dormant, so always a silver lining to the eye widening propane bill.

No ZD1511’s in Dallas regional warehouse and nothing coming from Georgia until mid-March of next year. Hope you have better news Drew.

Kubota had better hope something shinier doesn’t catch my attention in next 3 months. If John Deere would build their 997 with rear discharge 72” deck my shadow would probably never darken Kubota’s door again.

Pretty slick setup, but who’s the old guy on the tractor? ��

That's the easy way to add a balcony.

 

[sodamo]

I do believe it was easier than building in place. Too many ladder trips as it is.

We suddenly have snow forecast for the am. And more around the weekend.

 

[toppop52]

So ........ other than those extremely very minor issues, was there anything major wrong with it Randy??

Maybe it was salvaged off this tractor?

Yep, other than that it was near perfect! People must think buyers are blind and stupid.

 

[toppop52]

No real snow forecast, just cold as a witch’s tit!

We actually have snow in the forecast for New Years Day in the morning!!!

Not holding my breath.

Well, we’ve had our “once per decade” snow here in Colorado County so, I’m not to worry.

We had snow here at the ranch, 16 days before my little brother, in central Iowa, had a flake this year.

 

[300UGUY]

We got about 5 inches of snow, but the -2 temps suck way more.....

 

[Eric Salop]

Nothing like sitting down on a warm seat and grabbing a warm steering wheel when the weather is awful outside.
Makes me wonder when tractors will have that...only a matter of time.

If you'd like a warm seat Drew, buy one of these



[Also available in Kubota orange ]


If you want it remote operated, ask your butler to fill with hot water and place on seat 15 minutes before you go out

Good morning. We got lucky last night and dodged the snow, it all passed to the south. Maybe not so lucky this afternoon.

Santa brought me a usb rechargeable high frequency/high voltage fire lighter. Amazon.com: Tacklife ELY1 Advanced Electric-Arc Lighter USB Rechargeable No Spark & Smell Front Flexible Elbow 36degRotation More than 1 Times Spark per Charge with Safety Switch & Windproof for BBQ, Camping: Home Improvement
I hadn't realised such things existed and was a little sceptical at first, however the mean looking plasma arc easily lights the paper to start the woodburner each morning and it should be wind proof for outside use. Only downside I can think of is what would happen if somehow it got turned on when I slip it into the pocket off my jeans

26 going to 34, last chance to get above freezing for a while. Snow flurries were in today's forecast last night, but now nothing is expected.

Brought my pallet of firewood around to the porch yesterday...fastest move of that much firewood ever for me.

Eric, nifty lighter, didn't know about them either. Only way to find out what would happen is to try it!

Had leftovers last night...I'm already going nuts over wanting some tacos or rellenos.

Would of never thought of doing it that way...so smart! My son gave me a pound of green Kona coffee beans for Christmas...I'll roast today and think of sitting on your deck while I drink it.

35 degrees and there seems to be extra heavy pollution this morning because I see white stuff coming down....
Yup, snow flakes/snow due in momentarily, definitely a school closer if school was open.
Gosh, where is my plow? And more importantly, where is my hot water bottle?
Well, high of 39 today so whatever comes down will melt. Mostly freezing rain.

 

[daugen]

When I first looked at David's portable deck, I thought it was a giant battery box for his solar batteries, but a porch, how cool.
All the wonderful things we can use a loader for...

Other than those on top of a Hawaiian mountain, careful with the snow today, no falls, thrown out backs, etc etc.

Good morning all, 23 this morning going to 34. Fiddled out in the shop yesterday, got my quick release wood workers vise mounted. Like it, it can hold a 12" shelving board flat. Got to go grocery shopping today.

Drew, hope things go well on the mower, you never know these days.

Eric, cool lighter, I need one of those for......... well I would like to have one too. Enjoy.

Buckeye, Praying for you to get well soon.

RIP, Praying for you and your wife, that things will be back to normal and you two can go home.

Buppies, praying for you too.

And many more, have a great day. Ed
