Anyway, done for the day...I expect I'll be spreading ice melt on the walks tomorrow morning.

Opted for seat time and finishing up the raisedbeds gardens instead of noon NYE celebration. They are finished a month ahead of schedule and ready to rent out. We currently have 12 people on the waiting list.

I’ve got to clean up my raised beds and get some winter greenery in them.

I took one final motorcycle ride in 2019. Took my Bu,taco for a ride in the woods. It was cool (32), wet, it had been snowing lightly...so why not. I went and enjoyed some time in the woods.

It isn’t,t new, it isn’t exotic, it definitely isn’t fast, but was just the right choice for a last ride of 2019

New Year's Eve. Aaahhh, how things change. Today is also my wife's 76th Birthday. Before I retired from the police department, many years ago, we always had a neighborhood combined party on New Years Eve for Margaret's Birthday and a New Year Party at our house, and yep, the party always lasted until a little after midnight. And now . . . well, we just got back from going out to eat at Rosa's Café and Tortilla Factory. I offered to take her wherever she wanted to go, and she said, "I'm a cheap date." And she was.:laughing: But we both do like the Wednesday special; 3 tacos (any flavor), beans and rice, etc.:laughing: And where we used to stay up until midnight . . . . well, I'll do good to keep my eyes open until 8 p.m., but she'll probably stay away to watch the New York Times Square celebration.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Senter (sp?) Hope you have a good one.

Oh man, I'm drooling. Have never rode one of those. Do they have piston cracking troubles like the 360's? Do you already have a wiseco piston or something similar? I have spent days on an Ossa Super Pioneer 250 up in the mountains around Ruidoso New Mexico. Needed more power. Maybe it was "tired" or too rich.

Don, did you have any help putting up all those cinder blocks? Hopefully you had a loader and unloader and you could just be the carrier with the FEL.

Interesting geneology's youz guyz.

Yes Randy, Elizabeth Montgomery was a beauty. Although I remember a non make up and messy hair photo of her, on the cover of TV guide one week. Her life ended too soon.

Took kids for a country ride. Only oldest 14 year old daughter appreciated it. Went thru the antique area east of Giddings, specifically Oldenburg, Warrenton, and Round Top. Nothing major going on there this weekend. Place becomes gridlocked in spring and fall during the antique festivals.

Came home, picked up a dead oak branch that had fallen on the barbed wire fence, pulling out the top 4 staples/steeples.

Decided to start a burn pile since the wind is dead tonight. Got most of it burned. Had the son help me bring firewood to the rack in the front of the house.

Been having trouble sleeping all night. Even though I'm on Terazosin, I still have to get up 1 or 2 times to p. Hard to go back to sleep if it's past 3. Maybe I should start trying to beat Roy to the early bird post, except he has an hour head start..

J- too cold for me. Same for all you guys up there. Stay warm. 3 dog night, or maybe just 1 Brogen.


Roy, easy on that Jamesons tonight....but enjoy.

PJS, I'm with you. NYE is great if you're young....I did wake up last year just minutes before midnite to say yay! Then back to sleep.

Happy New Year my tractor brethren!!! Prayers for a healthy year.

Kyle,

That is a ?50? which was actually 325cc. It was Bul痴 knee jerk reaction to needing a big bore, so it was a 250 that was bored and stroked as far as it could be stretched. The rod can be the weak link in this engine. 250 size bearings in a 325 are a bit small. The head to cylinder joint is a bit of a weak link too.

This one is no slouch. It has a lot of flywheel, but the big bore and short stroke make for a quick revving, quick responding engine. I really like the power delivery.

I don稚 have a 4 wheeler or side by side. I use the Bul to check out things on the property.

My 3PH blower was heavy enough (800 lbs, approximately) to move most of the frozen snow, but my walk behind (battery powered) blower isn't heavy enough to get through some of the frozen layer. I have 50 lbs. of ice melt which will be enough for the walkways and garage entrance...I will need more soon, I think. I use aa walk behind broadcast spreader made by a company named Chapin. This is my second winter using it and it's a good unit for a relatively inexpensive spreader
I'd love to get a salt/sand spreader for the Gator, but a tailgate model wouldn't hold enough mix for the drive and the bed mounted units are pretty pricey. Maybe one of these days.
It's 2015 as I type this...haven't made it 'til midnight in years and I don't expect to tonight. Tomorrow is my birthday (70!!!!) and it's my last day off work. Guess I'll do the walks, then putter (as Thomas refers to goofing off)
