Yesterdays shopping trip covered 11 stores L4N

wow, and now your DIL wants to do more shopping.
support your local businesses so they don't fold up...
I think I'd be looking for chairs on a day like you had.
If you have a long drive to get there, sure don't want to forget anything.

now if you took your dog sled shopping...

We have not paid an electric bill this year.
Irv :thumbsup:

Drew, you’ve done Kubota, Deere, and now Massey. I think you’re in danger of being a tractor ****.

����

nice tractors come in all sizes and shapes, just like people.
now I could tell a whopper like Eric and say this last tractor
was motivated by decluttering, reducing the tractors to three.

You forgot my other red tractor! Farmall...though Massey's red is like fire engine/Ferrari red.
At the end of the coming year, I am likely to sell the Super A, unless i can get my fireman neighbor to drive it.
It's pretty punishing to drive and that straight cut gear noise bores into your head. Still fun to drive...as an antique.

Am actually working at selling off some of my "better ideas"...

26 today going to 37. At least it finally is not raining. Finishing 2nd cup of coffee..heading out to breakfast with wife and then picking up grt.nephew to visit church social-Christmas auction/bizarre. Prayers for all. Sorry for losses and injuries.

Good morning! 60˚ heading to 74˚. Thunderstorm hit last night, 1/2" of rain. Got my Christmas lights up yesterday but got cited for messy cords, not by the HOA but by a stricter enforcer, my wife. Went to Home Depot and now the electrical distribution system has passed.

Model boat races on the lake and Christmas parade on the square.

Poured first cup of coffee. 32 with freezing fog this morning. Heading to 38° with rain most of the day. I have no idea what freezing fog is. That's the Alert NWS sent out this morning on my iPhone. No plans for today yet. The cranes that have been visiting my yard everyday have been missing for 3 days. Hope they have decided to make the trip south.

RIP President Bush.

Kyle, hope they find what your pain was.

Buppies, the leaves can wait. Mine are waiting for spring when I will put a set of high lift blades on the JD and let them get sucked into Trak-Vac..

Andrew, glad you are posting. How is your youngest one doing. Got to be getting ready to help with chores.

Farmer, prayers for you son.

Randy, give Ellen a extra hug. You both need it.

RNG, get home soon.

Drew, my idol with a tractor for every implement. Has let me down. :confused2: Nice tractor and implements.

Good Morning All.

Wet and dull here. When I got up I thought just another typical November day, then carried cup of tea over to laptop, only to realise it's now December ! In which case the weather is great for this time of year - no ice and no snow


Drew, very nice, hope your "last" tractor brings you many hours of pleasure.

LS, sorry to hear about Kipp.


RNG, after watching those videos of the fast moving wildfire, I woke up in the night and found I had been dreaming about trying to make a house safe against flying burning embers, which is rarely an issue in these parts of the world. For you that must be on your mind all the time while you have been in exile these last few weeks - a challenging project like no other in terms of the consequences if you get it wrong. This morning I couldn't settle until I found this NFPA video, which clarified for me lots of points https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL_syp1ZScM With a house like yours, I'm sure you will come up with even better defences for the future.

One thing I haven't got to grips with is what is needed to ensure you have good air to breath. If you could let me in on your thoughts on how you are solving that, then I may sleep a little easier tonight

LS.
Sorry for loss of love one.
RIP Kipp.

39 going to mid 40s and likely rain.

Sorry to read you are in the hospital, Harv. Hope they get the problem figured out and addressed.

Kyle and Buppies, hope you're feeling better, too.

LS, sorry to hear about Kipp. Dogs are special blessings but hard to lose.

PJ, cool guitar, but I like the fridge even better .

RNG, that was an interesting story...glad she had good water pressure. Hope you get home real soon. Nice idea getting the dryer.

Decided to cut down a couple of gum trees yesterday in a place I don't want them...so sharpened the chain saw, gassed it up and got it started for the first time this season. But then decided to test run my splitter so it would be ready to split the tough gum. Took only 14 pulls, but looked like it had been slowly leaking hydraulic fluid from a hose...cleaned it up but couldn't find the leak. Then decided it was dry enough to use the tractor to help move the firewood. So put the tiller on to move it out of the way of the grapple. Then took off the bucket, and put on the grapple. Then took off the tiller and put on the carry all. Also had to move the mower so decided to mow a patch of broomstraw I'd forgotten to cut with the bush hog. This is the twice a year transition from summer equipment to winter and vice versa. Then my wife wanted help with putting up Christmas decorations. Then it was dark. So no tree cutting.

 

[Thomas]

28F cloudy now mid 30's for high.

Plans for today...least 4 wheel barrows wood basement,clean snow off main shed roof,take Mrs. to town for goodies also fuel critter food,plow the bottom half driveway again,remove snow banks and push back w/tractor all be darkness arrives...another sloppy nasty storm arriving tonight.
Well time to head out feed little critters and enjoy the first day of Dec.

Enjoy the day all.

LS, I'm very sorry to read about your loss of Kipp….love dogs, but it's so heartbreaking when the time comes to let them go...

31 right now...high in the lower to mid 30's. The prediction is for a snow/ice storm tonight into Sunday. I hope we don't lose power again!

Chores today...dump run, haircut (maybe) and try out the EGO snow blower (after I install the chute.on some frozen snow. I reckon I'd better rig the electric cord to the Deere too, for tomorrow.
