BEF, guess if you don’t get it wet no worry about it rusting out.

David- Thanks for the info. "... Demeaning to the site in my opinion. A shame. Please do better." I agree. "Scantily clad" sites abound in the internet. TBN should rise to a higher standard; but then I would probably be deleted.

Must be my ad blocker on the computer is working I haven't seen any thing like that sounds to be

Good evening all. 58F for the start, overcast, light wind. Moderate wind day, clouds thinned out around noon, thickened back up mid afternoon, light sprinkles at dinner time. Since the rain was south, bird may have gotten more. High temp 76F. Warm tomorrow and cold front comes through late afternoon. Choir practice to start, mowed front grass, and clean dryer lint from bug screen on roof.
Eric, thanks for the link, it is a Coast knife, with a double lock, ie you can lock the blade lock on.
Buppies, hope Boo Boo stays on good behavior!
Bird, never did much on Columbus day, was not an observed holiday at work, and never got off while in school.
PJ, nice looking place and lattice, will you post a sound track when new guitar done?
RNG sounds like red bike is squared away, have a nice trip.
Hawkeye, sounds like fun weekend duty.
Buckeye, ripped most of my CD and most of my vinyl music Over 8 gig, now just need to get better with playlists.
Jay, I am a Kroil guy myself, had decent luck with liquid Wrench, minimize dirt and water once you get it working Just remember it gets older as you get older and rust is working on PTO joints like arthritis is on yours.
RNG make those hook ups in cold rain!!
prayers for all.

72 today and 50 currently.

Spent day moving hay. 48 bales. Some chicken coop maintenance tomorrow then finish moving hay hopefully. Youngest goes to pulmonologist Thursday for more testing. Know they’ve scheduled another sweat test. Don’t know what else they will do. He’s do some better with medication changes.

David. Try a large pair of vice grips for push button type, and a strap wrench for the twist collar type. I have the best luck with slipping pto shaft onto tractor stub a little ways before I mess with button or collar. I’m just glad they moved away from the bolt on style. Newer tractors don’t even have the drilled pto stub those require, and they only fit two ways each 180* from each other.

Kyle our oldest has been more moody lately also. He’s becoming abscessed with Mario cart on YouTube and having behaviors when he doesn’t get it upon demand. Hopefully you figure something out.

Rng. Good luck with new laws. Your solar/generator fiasco has been interesting. Would have thought you’d have it straightened out by now. Maybe start with someone familiar with generators then add solar.

Just when you thought you were safe, starting in 2023, Kalifornia is making it illegal for m/hotels with more than 50 rooms to give away those tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and hand cream. A year or so later, the little bottles will be banned from all establishments. Of course, this was foisted onto the public by the state's rabid environmentalists; we all know that those little bottles were just clogging up the landfills and there was no room left for plastic straws that were previously being dumped into the ocean. This will also decimate the tourist industry. After all, who wants to spend $200 a night for a room when you don't even get fifty cents worth of soap with it?
I'm tellin' ya, folks, ya just can't make this stuff up!:shocked::confused3::laughing:

I think Texas is ahead of Kalifornia here. I haven't seen the little bottles for years. All hotels and cruise ships I've been to have the shampoo/conditioner dispenser bottles on the shower/tub wall. Of course I always have to get out and put on my glasses to tell which one is which.

Today was first time I’ve seen. Guess something got tweaked somewhere.

Thanks for suggestions.

RNG, not sure I agree with above. I’d say configure the solar, add compatible generator as the solar hardware is likely to be more sensitive.

Seat time on a tractor today was awesome therapy.

JB, can't beat a bit of tractor therapy :thumbsup: As a professional experienced into the workings of the mind, have you ever been able to work out why tractors and ride on mowers are so addictive ? Even when physically incapacitated, normally sane people will drag themselves onto their machinery just to get another high, while others risk heat exhaustion and some take to the slopes in less than perfect conditions.

Over the years a few have taken desperate measures to cut out tractors from their lives, selling up and moving to tractor rehabilitation communities, but as we have seen with Don, it is all too easy to regress. There ought to be a place where we can regularly meet up and take it in turns to admit "My name is xxxx and I am a tractor addict".

Oh, Irv has already built that place - this Good morning thread !!! :laughing:

Good morning. My name is Eric and I am a tractor addict.

This constantly wet weather is proving a bumper year for fungi. There are some I have not seen before and it is fascinating to see how they develop. Not sure what this one is called, it is black when it comes out of the ground, then morphs into a bright yellow cone before finally turning itself inside out.




The parasol mushrooms are huge this year, growing from a gnarled dome into something the sheep will soon be wanting to shelter under when it rains. Ok, that's a slight exaggeration, however you can see the scale from the beanie hat I put on the ground.




PJ what a smart looking house you live in and captured in pictures that deserve to grace the pages of an up market home magazine :thumbsup:
