wng, your truck is getting better mileage than my altima.
Yesterday, I drove it for the first time in a week...50 yards so it would be out of the way while I mowed.

Poured first cup of coffee. 49° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 53° with occasional rain. After my shopping trip yesterday and putting stuff away. I was tired. Conserved energy rest of the day. House cleaning today. So I can spend time outside when weather is going to be nice.
Here is neighbors video. In a few weeks all the flowers will start blooming. I will do another one. I was about 2 feet from neighbor when it landed.
Squirrel finally ate its way out of feeder.
CV numbers keep going up, Oakland county, 7150 cases, 670 deaths. Michigan, 40,400 cases, 3,700 deaths. Deaths in nursing homes is becoming a disaster.
Buckeye, (Dennis) your red bud looks great. To land all you have to do is pull down on up/down stick and hold. It will land it self.
Drew, hope they find what is causing nausea. Mine finally went away. What worked I have no idea. Just did not have it anymore. :confused3:
Buppies, very good pictures. Looks like you put a lot of work in the area. When is the bench going to be set in place.
Riptides, sorry about the your horse.
Roy, glad trip went well.
Hawkeye, i like when I can click off projects on the list. :thumbsup:
Mostly, vinegar for porch?
Winsprd, better mileage than I am getting.
Prayers and best wishes for everyone.
Good Morning All.

66 and rain going to 67 and Flood Warnings on the NWS. Wind was crazy last night. Kept me up a good bit...rarely do we have wind that strong from the southeast...so the sounds were very different, and the trees are getting pruned of dead limbs from the opposite side. I picked up quite a few this morning before the rain hit.
Rip, sounds like you had a good family goodbye to your well-loved horse.
BEF, nice start on the drone. It'll be fun to fly it at your dad's when you can visit there again.
My wife went to Walmart to pick up some plants, and found that she had to go inside to pay. Since she was inside, she looked for the items that were out of stock when we picked up our order the day before. She found them all and picked up a few other things. Still had only no-name TP.
I mowed the yard and all the trails yesterday and string trimmed 'til the battery got low. Figured we won't dry out for quite a while.
Today's humor:
During the quarantine, I've learned about myself...that my 3 favorite hobbies are:
1. Eating at restaurants
2. Going to non-essential businesses
3. Touching my face.

Good morning, the temp is 48°F and going to 52. Wind E 16 gusting to 22 mph. Rain.
I am off to North Bay this morning...the monthly shopping trip.
I am sorry for your loss, riptides. The horse will be waiting at the rainbow bridge for you when your turn comes.
Have a safe day all

Good Morning!!!! 59F @ 5:15 AM. A mix of clouds and sun. High 83F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Condolences for your horse, Rip. It sounds like she led a long and happy life.
You have a very trusting neighbor, Ron! That's an awful lot of CoVid-19 cases.
Happy hunting on your shopping trip, Bill.
Hopefully the tests will shed some light on what's going on, Drew.
Beautiful pine woods, Buppies. Looks very peaceful.
Didn't find any loose lug nuts on the tractor, but the tires only had about half the air pressure they should have. No wonder it was wallowing around so much. The big tires on the back took so much air, I had to go get a stool to sit on while they filled. Found the backup beeper on a parts diagram, then found the lead that powers it and disconnected it. No more beeping.:thumbsup:
Stump removal went well, this 'hoe is a lot stronger than the old one, but it still took some digging to get the stump to let go. It easily broke through 2" roots, but I had to work out from the tree when it got to anything bigger. Still, in a little less than an hour, the stump was out and the hole was filled. A similarly sized stump took three days with the old 'hoe, and I still ended up burning it out in the end. Just need to get used to the controls, and avoid big in puts that move the tractor around. By the time I was done, there was a five foot drag mark from the FEL bucket. That backhoe sticking up in back makes loader work on a hill a little precarious at times; I wonder if I can fold the dipper stick and lay the boom down to get the CG lower?
After lunch, I took the bucket off the FEL and tried to mount the forklift tines, but the quick attach on the forks wasn't cooperating. It seems I made the slots at the bottom a little too short front to back, and had to spend some time grinding them wider. Then the latches on the tractor quick attach were rusted and sticky, so they got polished with a flapper wheel and a generous dab of grease. Once the forks were on, though, it didn't take long to get the 12" trenching bucket unloaded from the van and mounted to the backhoe. It was as easy as it looked in the video, and no damage to the van.
For Ted:
Finished up the day digging more out of the pumphouse trench, dumping the dirt into the side-by-side Kubota and ferrying it to one of the piles. Really nervous about the tractor getting pulled down the hill, so went slow and took small bites. Still had one pucker moment where I just had to stop and let go of the controls until I could figure out what was going on. Got another six or so feet dug, and no sign of the conduit getting any shallower or changing direction. It's at about five feet down now.
The best part of the day was not having anything break on this new tractor. Finally feel like I'm making some progress, and seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel. Or should I say trench?:confused3:
More digging is on the agenda for today. Still haven't heard from the local Kubota dealer on the old tractor, and the one in Oregon hasn't called back, either. Business for them must still be good for them to be that busy.:confused2:
Hang in there, gang, Friday' comin'!

Riptides, sorry for your family's loss of an old friend.
After two calls to my farm diesel supplier, and the same miserable service, no return call, I gave up, cancelled my order and my six year business with them and called a place even closer. They picked up the phone immediately, were really pleasant to deal with, gave me a date next week to plan on, told me they'd come as last stop to keep weight of truck down, as they have to run over a section of my front lawn down a ways to get back to barn. Plus...$1.09 for farm diesel, 30 cents less per gallon than other company charged. Amazingly low price.
Good time to stock up, sure made my day.

50°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 68° today. Got a fair amount of steady rain yesterday evening, which ended sometime around midnight. Looking forward to the next few sunny days.
Nice drone videos, guys.
Sorry about your horse, rip. That's always tough with any animal, especially after such a long time.
