Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Good morning all , 57 going up to 76 and sunny/hazy
Tried to dig more along the pool lines, using the planting auger (30") , this went reasonably well once I evicted the frog living in the current tunnel.
Well over three feet under the pool shack, but no luck finding leak so far.

Drew - will take your advice on the tomatoes-have tried some fertilizers and plant with miracle grow soil...need to check soil PH too I guess. Hope the headache goes away soon. That Yamaha cost as much as my wifes 2 year old BMW!
Sodamo - sorry to hear about Duncan-in MA neighbors all had workhorses-they had stalls in the barn and were treated well after they could not work anymore. So glad to hear Duncan had a good last year.

Friend in Arkansas is ok, pictures of the common pier destroyed, Boats banged up and trees missing. Might be a while before they get power back.

Stay safe and be well

Expensive .. and they won't haul anything.

it can tow up to 2,000 pounds
same as Kubota's most powerful gas model
I'd rather go slower and have a bigger bed in back for picking up tree debris

I found the hitch on my
rtv 400, which was a light duty model only, didn't stick out far enough and always wondered when
I would ruin the muffler with the trailer
I had a 6x12 single axle utility trailer that worked great with mine, but just had to be sure not to overload it.

Drew I thought I read in the article that it had a hydraulic dump bed and you can set s speed limiter to 25mph so when you load it out!

56°F and hazy this morning, going up to 78° today.

Our sunrise this morning looked a little like your sunset, Ron.

Great story about Duncan, David.

yes, speed limiter sounds good for grandkids...
I can't imagine having one of these without a dump body, unless one was just having fun out in a national park
Honestly this model is overkill for most folks. I paid 8 grand for my Kubota...
John Deere and Kubota also have high end models but this one looks the fastest and the dash is very cool.

These are all over out here they ride them in the woods as well as at the Sand Dunes!

66F and mostly cloudy @ 12:00, winds out of the NNE @ 10 - 15, high only predicted to reach 68F ... so another "long pants day" for sure.

Low chances (<25%) of precipitation throughout the 10 Day ... so probably a good time to get things done in areas that will become a mess once the rain comes. Hopefully there will be a day in there somewhere where there are no - or light - winds so I can do some spraying.

Got two rhododendrons moved and transplanted yesterday, one in the east planting bed (left side):

... and one in the northeast planting bed, along the path over to the barn:

There are another four pre-drilled planting holes in that bed that can be filled.

Heard neighbor out mowing yesterday so I headed up to talk to him ... he had some trees come down in a storm a while back, and I just wanted to clarify what wood he said I could have, because he's got a lot of it sitting up there. Long story short: any of it ... :thumbsup:

There's a good amount of oak and ash ... and some of the oak logs are huge - 24" or better in diameter and probably 10' long or more. Wish I had a bandsaw mill ... :laughing:

Also found out I can have any of the wood chips (for mulch) and there's a snot load of those as well.

Need to refill bird feeders today.

Whistle pigs out grazing in the yard.

And Squeak just wants to eat treats .... :laughing:

Have to catch up later on replies.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

68°F and 0 rain last 24 hours.

Should get last couple of hours of mowing done.

Will set up with dealer for my 300 hours servicing. Normally I would do but in the interest of protecting my warranty. Possibly have a warranty issue. Seems my hydraulic oil cooler has developed a small leak. Perhaps that means replacement? If not warranty I’d pull it off and take to the local radiator shop. Just hope this doesn’t cause an unreasonable delay getting tractor back and I get behind on mowing.

Puppy update. With all the brotherly assistance Makani has mastered the puppy door. Was interesting to watch both Simba and Kekoa tease him into chasing them both in and out. Of course his legs still short so he ends up dragging back end of body over the edge. Still working the flap door with his paws before sticking nose thru.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Sounds like you have a plan in progress, Drew,

Another great pic, Ron Thanks.
As I was about to open TBN this morning I found myself thinking what you might post for pic. Guess you’ve spoiled us.

75 and raining hard, Sally is definitely here.
spent most of morning making doc appointments in PA, trying to get all affiliated with Doylestown hospital which has a portal system like what I'm used to here, shows all the appointments scheduled and hopefully test results. Primary and cardiologist appts made, still waiting on oncologist office to call me back. Maybe they are too big and too busy?

RS, free firewood, outstanding :thumbsup:
