good evening all. 66F this morning, mostly overcast, light wind. Wind increased quickly, wind speed more erratic in afternoon, clouds broke up some in afternoon, then back to overcast, and high temp of 78F. Forecast for tonight is for thunderstorms, chance of severe storms. heavy rain has started to fall as I type.
Men's Meeting this morning followed by bike ride, lunch nap and trip prep. Game plan is to bike 175 miles Fri, Sat, Sunday. Leave tomorrow.
Replacing 1 cat is currently not an option, cats are welded into y-pipe, nobody here will weld them in. 800$ plus shipping for y-pipe with cats, 500$ install. The only good news is, have only had 1 check engine light in 3 month since changing to no-alcohol gas.
David good luck with your pipe project.
Don that is some wonderful woodwork!
prayers for all.

Made it to 78 today. Rain with possible severe weather tomorrow.
Got most of the calves ear tagged today. Had one calf jump through head gate twice. Didn’t have time to cut him out again before going to get the boys from school. He’s the smallest and youngest calf on the herd. 6 weeks younger than the rest so I know where he belongs. Did manage to get the garden disked. Cut some power poles into fence post and got them stacked. Will be doing some fence repairs later this spring that will require their usage. Have some more to cleanup so I can get them cut up.
David. Good luck on gas line replacement. It’ll be worth trying to pull new line in as old is pulled out. Worse case is you end up cutting concrete right?

I installed the TBN app, and this thread keeps coming up, so figure I ought to post something!
Hope y'all have a happy easter.
Been busy here fixing equipment and doing concreting around the house. Potatoes will be planted after Easter, as just yesterday I got the two wheel tractor back in operational state. Wish one of the neighbors had a potatoe ridger with a Cat I 3pt hitch though. Need to get more equipment for the Iseki.
Last week I found a young, not shy, hedgehog in the field.

Just enough light cloud this morning to be outside without having to squint to see the corners of the fields.
I had confirmation of how little rain has fallen this year when I put in a strainer post yesterday. Couldn't risk this post being knocked in because there is a large field drain very close by, so I hand dug a 4' deep hole and all but the last 3 or 4 inches of ground were dry, with not a single worm in sight.
Wng, yes the Peak District is a nice place, our oldest national park. The peace and quiet you expect to find there can sometimes be a little elusive though due to the sheer number of people that visit.
Andrew, great to hear from you again. Have you been giving the goats a bath ? They all look pristine, as if ready for a livestock competition.
PJ, looking forward to seeing a pic of those super fast speaker stands.

They just live outside. It rained not long ago, and if they go out in it to graze, it does rinse the dust off their coats.

Other than birds, hedgehogs are the most common wild animal I see up close. Very frustrating to our dog with their defenses, and therefore at night can be frustrating to me if he finds one and starts barking his head off so I run out side in underwear, pistol in one hand, flashlight in the other, only to find its just a hedgehog.
