Frist cup of coffee is cooling. 36° with light rain this morning. Heading to 47° with off and on rain. Got some of my winter prep done yesterday. Tractor still waiting to have snow blade put on and greased. No rush. No snow forecast until later next week. May get Christmas tree up today. No other plans.

Looking, I had a conveyor similar to yours. Used it for hay and firewood back in the 70's. I think it was a New Idea. Sides folded up to make it into a grain elevator. Worked very well.

Riptides, good to hear porch project is moving forward.

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Wngsprd !!! Great picture.

LS, good looking cupcakes. You think your wife could make enough to send out to all the Good Morning Crew? :licking:

David, trim looks good.

Drew, sounds like a good plan for Thanksgiving Day.

RS, I have the Moultrie feeder and game cam. Both work very well. Do not expect mounting strap to last very long. Deer are very ruff on feeder tiring to get that last piece of feed. Mine is mounted on a pole with a couple of clamps.

Every stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Buppies - I too hope you are doing well.
wngsprd - Happy Anniversary. That's a great accomplishment these days! Nice pic. Love the mountains. You do Bear Fence yet? I am sure you have.

Time to recover the critter cam from the barn. I'll bet it is a racoon chasing all the cats out.

Have a great day all.

Good morning. It’s 38 now, probably gonna gain 10 degrees throughout the day. Looks like a rainy thanksgiving.

Yesterday was a busy day, helped youngest son with his machining / gunsmithing project, ventured out for my meetings. Airport meeting was outside with masks and it was a beautiful day. The meeting went well.

When I got back home I was able try out the Makita cordless chainsaw. I was quite impressed. It cut through a 12” log about as easily as my trusty old Stihl 026. I made about a dozen or more cuts and battery indicators were still showing all the bars.

I picked up a cheap dolly at harbor freight and added some scrap lumber to it to store the 3 PT auger. I had it on a nice heavy duty dolly cribbed up as a proof of concept, this freed up my good dolly, replacing it with a $15 one.

My wife is picking up the turkey from Bolton’s Turkey farm today, I’m going to bake some pies and make fresh cranberry/orange/pineapple relish. Tomorrow going to try cooking the stuffed turkey in the new convection oven.

Congrats to Mr& Mrs wngsprd, it’s not as common as it once was to stay married past 4 decades. I’m proud to say that we started our 47th year in August.

Eric, can you bury pets? Why do farm animals have to be rendered instead of buried? I know some farmers here that don't bury, but drag them into the woods for the vultures and other animals to eat. Is that illegal, too?

Wng, my guess at the answer to the render question that is we have too many bureaucrats who are either lazy or not smart enough to devise appropriate rules for what is sensible, they just find it easier to ban everything. All farm animals have to be carted away.

On the upside, we are allowed to bury pets.

My family can also still dig a hole to get rid of me one day - though technically that is only legal if I am dead before they put me in the ground.

wngsprd, happy anniversary to you two! My late wife and I were married 42 years, hard to believe 42 years can be the blink of an eye.

33-62 today, 54 overnight with rain moving in. Thanksgiving looks like a wet warm one here.
We are doing our dinner Saturday, so tomorrow will be football, parades and early prep for dinner. It will seem strange.

I worked on the ramp to the overhead door in the tractor shed yesterday. Someday I might fab up an aluminum unit. If I could find what I need, not paying new prices for it.
I love metal and fiberglass fabrication, and I’m capable of carpentry grade woodwork, built all three of my decks and steps, but I could never get into woodworking.
I admire what some of you do, just never had the interest. I was always happier with an engine on my stand in pieces, or a sander and paint gun.

Have a good one.

Good morning all. Sun just breaking through after a damp start to the day.

A friend rang yesterday and asked if I would come over and load cow muck into his spreader while the weather was still dry. At the time I was underneath the tractor draining off the engine oil and I said sure, will soon have finished. I should know better than to tempt fate like that - the oil filter refused to come off. While it was under warranty I had it serviced by the dealer and the lad that came last time had a lot of muscle, unfortunately it looks like he may have used some of that in over tightening the filter. My filter strap which uses a 1/2" ratchet wrench for leverage couldn't move it, it started to crease the can. Local auto store said normally they could get me a socket cup removal tool in by this morning, but this stupid "Black Friday" concept could be clogging deliveries for days to come. Deep breath and remind myself I'm retired now, no need to rush anything, there is always another day...

Phil, sorry to hear about your wife's birthday news, hope the new vehicle cheers her up.

Wng, happy anniversary. Apples and beautiful views are dominating your life at the moment - yesterday eating that one on Rocky mountain and tomorrow you will be telling us you have been gazing at the "the apple of my eye".

L4N, loading wood with that conveyor looks like it will be good fun. I see a long rope running to an emergency stop, do you tie that to your ankle, or some other part ? :confused2:

48°F and light rain this morning, going up to 59° today. A chance for more rain later today.

Wife was up prep cooking already when I left for work at 6am this morning. She already had a pot of eggs and one with sweet potatoes boiling away on the stove. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday.

Happy anniversary, wngsprd.
