Good morning!!!!

It’s an 18 hp Mitsubishi diesel. Just dawned on me, I don’t own a diesel can anymore. Guess I gotta go shopping at TS, darn!

Nice looking tractor. Looks like the size of my 20hp massey, a great little tractor.

Home made dugout canoe.

Home made dugout canoe.

:laughing:

Before I pulled it down I cut a 6' road to it with the FEL. The root ball is 10' wide so now It's wedged in the hole. Tomorrow I'll nick away at the root ball with the BH and try to reduce it.

Buckeye don't get rid of the popcorn just yet, the job's not over till the stump is out of the yard, the hole is filled and flowers planted.

I had to get in the hole and axe 4 large roots that the BH could not snap. I'm so sore there is no way I'm going to cut out a canoe.

Nice tractor Randy.

Don, you burn out canoes.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Don, you burn out canoes.

Like you burn a stump

 

[jbrumberg]

That trunk would probably have to burn a week to get to a dugout size. And a big canoe at that.

While the wait one might as well put some metal stakes in it make some kind of rack/spit and have all kinds of barbecue during the process.

Don- Out of curiosity what size chain link?

Now what?View attachment 538200

Spend some time digging dirt off of the root ball, the fun ain't over yet.

Anyone have extra popcorn? Ed

 

[Ed of all trades]

Ed hope your mom continues to do well prayers sent

Thanks, Moms added med's are making her talk 24-7, kinda like she had to much wine. Driving wife crazy but mom is doing great. Ed

 

[Ed of all trades]

Finally bought a tractor, not exactly what I wanted but I致e got to get some leveling and planting done in the next 3-4 weeks.View attachment 538197

When you get tired of it just let me know, I like it. Glad you got one Randy. Hope it does well for you. Ed

 

[jbrumberg]

Ed- Depending on the med, Mom should "calm down"soon. It does depend on Mom and the med given. And yes, the primary care giver takes the brunt of the improving care receiving individual. My prayers for your wife. She's a heroine by any definition and you a hero.

Until one has BTDT they have no clue....... My respects

Thanks, we are just doing what we can. The drug is prednisone, hope it does calm down. Ed

We are under a burn ban. It is already hollowed out. This is looking at the top.

You're mostly there. You should be floatin down the Colorado listening to banjo music in no time.

Don- Out of curiosity what size chain link?

Various. Had to use three chains. I left it in two wheel drive during the pull.

The pictures that go with my post this morning. They wouldn’t load then.

Ed- Prednisone is quite "activating." It can make one pretty manic-like just like drinking a lot of cups of high test coffee. It can really rev up the emotional states and can increase appetite and weight gain too. It's one of the most powerful of anti-inflammatory medications, but it has strong side effects too. It really opens up the respiratory airways. It saved my life.

Honestly I stayed wired until my dosage decreased, but I was in my mid 50's. The elderly may "burn out" more quickly due to unaccustomed increased energy and activity. Is Mom on a tapering dosing schedule for the Prednisone?

Good luck with Mom.
