Was much worse than I thought. Doctor took a pic and I sent it to my wife in NC for extra sympathy. Not sure I can figure how to get another tractor out of it, though.

OUCH :eek: quick recovery.
Tractor... maybe attachment instead have better luck. ;)

Deer feeder I ordered was on back porch this morning. So went out to shop an made a mount to attach it to bird feeder post. Got the project done without any injuries.
..............................
:thumbsup: Don't forget the game cam,also may have to mow more often around near feeder. ;)

First group of 3 deer came to feeder.
They got about 3' away. Hey what is that thing. Kept looking for 10 minutes. Then moved onto their next nightly stop. Not hungry enough yet I guess.

Wngsprd, ouch, get well!
I'd be getting rid of it if it was hanging below the duct.

I led a discussion at mens church breakfast this morning, then installed another security cam.
Had to get up in the attic to run wire, 10' up with an 8 ft step ladder, i think. Anyway i have to stand on very top of step ladder, then make another 2' step while pulling myself up using the trusses. I think we need a pull down stair for the access, as there are 3 hvac units up there.

Cleaned pellet stove, and stocked 2 more weeks of pellets. Have gone thru almost a ton so far.

Trimmed a few limbs from a couple apple trees. Tempted to trim them at the ground, have never gotten any fruit.

Grilled burgers for supper.

9 staples and a tetanus shot.

Sounds like a reupholstering job, well, except for the shot. Don't feel bad I bump my head in the attic the other day and the scab just looks like dark hair. But wow, when you do it it's headline news worthy - in urgent care with blood running down your face, - it's hard to beat that image and still be conscious.

Rick If I would have taken the tractor out today it would have looked like yours after the 3/4" rain last night. I would have gotten a call from TPS (Tractor Protective Services).

Finished the garden today but left phone at home so no pics today. They thought I was putting in an irrigation system with the 70' of 2" PVC.

The home depot pull down stairs comes for ceiling 8-10 ft. My ceiling was 9' and I had to cut a foot off the end. It come with good instruction for ceiling height and # of inches to cut off, plus they have angled feet to put on you square cut steps.

Good evening all. 30F for the start, mostly clear sky, light wind. wind stayed light, sky stayed mostly clear and high temp was 55F. Bike ride this morning, trip prep this afternoon, and a trip to ER, wifey was complaining about chest pains and having some trouble breathing. All tests negative, got to leave after 2.5 hours, they did 2 enzyme tests 2 hours apart.
Wngsprd, sorry about your head.
Jay sorry about the problems of sharing your experience with the defective crampons.
Buppies, glad the pepto worked.
Happy soon to be birthday Bird!!
Don, that was a nice deed!!:thumbsup:
Rick sorry about your tractor after doing such a nice deed! Glad you got it out so easy.
prayers for all.

Might have to look at one. But there is a drop ceiling below. Right now i move a 2x4 tile to get to the access hole.

Well my HVAC is running. Tech had simply left the circuit breaker off. But on the way out from under my house I hit the top of my head on the duct work metal hanging strap...same place I did a couple of months ago.

But this time I'm sitting in the urgent care center (25 miles from home) waiting for 1.5 hours to get stitches with blood running down my forehead.

I got tired of banging my head on things, I found a lined ball cap on the net. Looks like a baseball hat, but has a hard plastic insert. Not osha compliant, but it keeps me from scrambling what remains of my brains. I forgot the company or site, I think it was on Amazon.

Decided to clean worst of the mud from tractor with hose first today. Pressure washer tomorrow, since we're supposed to see 70° by mid afternoon tomorrow.

-4°F and our high for the day will be 5°F. Wind E 6 mph. Flurries they say, at time heavy. 5 cm/2" but I will put money on 5"+.

The wind chill/feel like temp tonight will be -35°F. A tad chilly.
They are also talking snow for the next three days. I say bring it on. I have a full tractor tank and another 190 gallons of fuel waiting to get burned.
Says the gurus at Enviroment Canada, the masters of understatement,
Weather advisory in effect for:

North Bay - Powassan - Mattawa
West Nipissing - French River

Winter Weather Travel Advisory in effect for tonight into Sunday morning.

Lake effect flurries are expected to develop northeast of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay this evening and persist into early Sunday morning. Total snowfall accumulations of 5 to 10 cm (2-4") are possible by later Sunday morning. Sudden reduced visibility is likely due to heavy snow. Travel may become hazardous as a result.

This lake effect snow is expected to move southeast of the area late Sunday morning.

Energy conversation day.

Have a good day all

11f right now going to 38f this afternoon. Looks like a nice day coming up. Might break out the hose and give the truck and tractor a quick splash. Tweaked my back a little so will take it slow this morning. Wife continues to mend. She is walking and moving around normal now. Still restricted for 80 more days. Going to be hard to keep her from picking stuff up and moving it. Doc visit on Friday to see if it worked. Stay safe all. (And warm)

22 clear going to 51.

Thanks for the well wishes, laughs, and suggestions on not repeating this foolish mistake. I don't think I'd done anything real stupid in a while, so I was due. It does throw a monkey wrench in my plans, but I've already adjusted.

Phil, hope you back gets back to normal quickly and your wife checks out okay Friday.

Buppies, glad you're getting better.

Rick, nice thank you gift...I think the instructions say something about use frequently during pressure washing. :)

4 degrees right now...high in the mid-30's today and snow showers. We're looking at snow on Tuesday (5"-8") so I'll top off the tractor's fuel tank today.

I did a temporary repair on the mail box yesterday. Hopefully, it'll hold up until Spring

Good morning all.
Wow, I bet we all felt Billy's head whack, so sorry that happened.
I'm bald enough on top now, plus with skin cancer, that I almost always wear a hat
for protection, but when you are crawling around usually the hat comes off.
Hope that heals fast Billy and it's all a bad memory in a couple of days.
Sitting in the ER dripping blood must have been a miserable experience.

Got seasonably cold again, nights are in low 20's. Hopefully a nice day today, getting more cloudy.
Might do some real exercise this afternoon by hand shoveling dirt back into the long electrical ditch that was just dug.
I did a quickee job filling it in the first time and now I have to finish the job.
Been so wet and muddy, had to wait.

I've now sunk my golf cart into the mud and had to haul it out.
Rick has now sunk his big tractor in the mud, a good lesson for all of us to not pull off the road
to be polite. Woman driver clueless, but now, who backs up? You on the tractor or she in her car?
Safer if you do...:rolleyes:
Happy to see a happy ending, I can see a bit of that poured around 9pm with the necessary bug reducer lit and enjoyed.

going to have a quiet morning, try to do that on Sundays, then will work outside this afternoon. Helper thankfully came yesterday afternoon for three hours and made progress on the garden. I had done one row and my back was killing me, very happy to have help.

Most of my trays of cabbages are ready to plant. Carefully watching ten day forecast, no super cold days predicted so far.
With the holes cut out in the plastic, planting will be a cinch. Scoop the plant out with what is basically a small fork, then use a dibble in the ground, in goes the plant, snug around nicely, and then on to the next one. Zero rocks here, soft soil.
At the end of each six foot stretch, I water them.
This is the fun part for me.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 11° with light snow this morning. Heading to 14° with a nasty west wind. Should be good for a few snow drifts. Need to clean 2" of fresh snow off walkways. No other plans.

The group of 5 deer showed up at 8pm. What do we have here? Then they all took turns. I have been trying to catch the hawk that has been visiting feeder with trail cam. It has been cutting into the sparrow population and keeping them away from feeder. :thumbsup: No luck yet. My ring camera does react to the hawk. But it is mostly a flash across the screen.

Rick, good reward. When ground dries out some. Expect a call to cleanup the ruts. :D

May have to take my iphone 8P into Apple one day this week. Touch ID and Passcode has disappeared from settings. :confused3:

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Some critter is dragging the food pan out of the deck box where I feed the outdoor cats. Last time it happened I found canine teeth marks. Didn稚 see any new ones, maybe a coon this time, not a fox.
...........................
Maybe young coyote.

Maybe, I’ve heard them yipping recently.

Have you tried fender washers?


That is because managers are judged on how much they manage, $$$ are easy to count and contractors often work on cost plus a percentage of the cost.

I saw many projects that could have been done for a few thousand dollars inflated to hundreds of thousands with the same final widget produced. The prime rule is that IT'S NOT THEIR MONEY. If a defense contractor buys a $10 widget for a project and makes 10% he's better off buying the same widget for $100, and making 10%.

When my son worked for 3Phoenix his team took an off the shelf $750 radar and modified it to detect a periscope in the wake of an aircraft carrier, it saved around a billion dollars, the four of them got a citation and $10,000 bonus each. That is the exception and not the rule.
