Yes, go! I had 4 biopsies plus 5 squirts. Problems can go from treatable to major quickly.
Good morning!!!!

I look at the weather forecast and how hard the wind is blowing. I rarely cut a tree down during spring and summer, due to wildlife, and also because it gets too dang hot. Sorry you have such restrictive regulations.

Mornin, Calling for another close to 1" of rain-must be spring- buds are everywhere, but I see some 28s for Thur/Fri night. So planting still on hold.
Got my first vaccine shot last night- pfizer - in a defunct store at a local mall- pretty good teams working there and coordinated well.
wngsprd - looks like some firewood for next year in prep-
Sodamo-that push mower looks like it has good drainage
Roy-hope they find out your issue quick-intestinal stuff makes us cranky
Alien - hope the hand feels a bit better today
We have so many dead ash here, I don't think I go more than a month without bucking one.
Stay safe and be well.

39°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 54° today. A few light showers passed through the area yesterday evening around drive time. I saw on the radar this morning that they developed into a bit more than light passing showers after moving past us. You guys out east are going to get wet today.
Helped a neighbor move a couple of large flower boxes yesterday evening, using the tractor bucket. They are the only ones near us who do not own a tractor. Nice people, both recently retired, who always appreciate the help.
David, I used to have a Weedeater brand big wheel mower that was made by Electrolux. Bought it from Walmart and used it for about 15 years before finally gifting it to someone else just a couple of years ago. It always started on the first pull as well, even first start of the year. Mine didn't have the top vents, though.
Wngsprd, I saw a crawfish castle back behind the barn when I was mowing last weekend. I guess they haven't yet accepted that the pond no longer wraps around back there anymore.

"as a kid did you take a buttercup and hold it next to your chin to see the golden reflection?"
Drew, we did indeed take that test - to see if we "liked butter". Researchers have worked out why we got such Yellow chins
remarkable all the cool things we learn here, thanks Eric.
miserable morning, almost two hours in dental chair, no way to replace filling, need crown and root canal. Dentist also has tinnitus so he tried his
best to reduce noise and vibration but hard to do when drilling that long. Have a bad headache and neck ache now, definitely a tylenol moment.
I'm sure to have more dental work in the future. Anyone have dental insurance they can recommend?
rain is an hour or two away

Stopped by kubota to get 10 gal of sudt before coupon expired. They didn’t have 5 gal can, but offered 2 2.5gal jugs at same price, and they took the coupon even though it said for 5 gal bucket. Also picked up both hydro filters. This is for L5030 on next trip to farm.
Got poison ivy on my hand from the farm work.
Rain coming in later. March came in like Eric’s lamb, going out like lion.
Never saw crawfish castle.

Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 8:15AM. Sunny. High 82F. Winds light and variable.
The wind advisory ended at 8PM yesterday, but nobody told the wind that. It started howling just after midnight, and the crashing and banging that ensued woke me up and kept me up for several hours. Seems to have calmed down now, a good thing, I need to get a burn pile going and feed it most of the day as I limb and buck the wood that's down.
Bill, that's some great looking wood you have on the ground there. Looks like a lot of work, too, and I can see how you'd be a little sore after a work out in that size wood gym!
Glad you're getting some nice weather, Eric. Time for some more little lamb pics? No buttercups where I grew up, but I think we played the same game with dandelions. Some wildflowers are starting to pop up here, but it's a thin crop due to the lack of rain.
Here they've started giving CV19 jabs to anyone over 16, so the vaccine supply must finally be catching up with demand. They've also graduated the county to orange status, so restaurants can use 50% of their inside seats, and some restrictions are lifted from sporting events. Bars, breweries, and wineries can reopen, too. But no end in sight for masks, hand sanitizer, and social distancing.
Just over a week since my Moderna shot, and reaction free since day four. I didn't see any difference between it and a regular flu shot; just some pain at the injection site.
Started off yesterday putting a new cartridge in the grease gun, then using the better part of it on the FEL and grapple. Took the tractor and the electric chainsaw, along with about 75' of log chain, up to the mailbox and went after the dead oak that's been hanging over the front gate. Put the chain on it about head high, tensioned the other end with the tractor, then weakened it with the chainsaw. Stopped cutting at the first "crack!", gave it one pull with the tractor, and down it came. Still got a glancing blow on the cables to the king post, so had to redo the tension in those to get the gate latch working again, but no other damage. The day before's practice paid off! Used the chains to haul a fairly large oak up from down grade by the driveway, then came back and used the chain and chainsaw on another one right next to it. It fell with the crown on the side in the direction I needed to move it, so I just kept pulling and the trunk pivoted up hill to the point it was almost to the driveway. Re-rigged it, removing two of the chains, and got it up to the driveway, at which point I could rig it again so that the box blade could keep the trunk from digging in while I skidded it down to the wood pile. Found a couple others and by the time they were moved I was out of room for more. Started using the grapple on a bunch of dead manzanita, and finally figured out how best to get a full bite. Also got a better feel for how the tractor handled on the side hill, and at 15° it still felt really stable. The rear wheel spacers seem to be working! Started another pile with the manzanita that I'll feed gradually to the fire so I can keep the flames down. Big fires are impressive, but I've gotten so I don't care so much for the excitement anymore. Finished up the day sifting through all the scraps that have accumulated under the splitter, saving the small bits for kindling, and dumping the rest in the burn pile.
Hope everyone enjoys their Hump Day!!!

Need to get a ham and fixings for Easter Dinner.
Prayers for all
Be safe
