No Mostly they just keep eating

They may all be taller than you by this time next year. Great looking team!

They don’t have to grow much to do that!

I initially only found 5. When I went back through it, I found 6. So, I went back through it two more times and got 6 both times (Quality Jerk doing a 100% sort ). No idea which one I missed the first time.

It is a fascinating exercise.

I did the same, 5 then 6.

Wow, did the steering bar or the tree hit your ribs? Take it easy and don't be around people who tell funny jokes.

Good morning! I was reading the forecast yesterday for today, while it was 75˚ outside, and they said snow today. WHAT! They sure exploit the possibility of 1%. Clickbait, I fell for it.

53˚F. We have reached the high for today the temps will decrease throughout the day and it will be freezing by tomorrow morning. North wind. Looking for a few melted flakes of snow.

The population density is so varied in Texas. Some counties have 2800 per square mile others have .3.
We have about 592 per square mile and are the 11th most populated county in Texas, an increase of 50% since 2010.
Lee County where my mom lives has a population of 28 per square mile.

Rip, wngsprd, I also noticed the 30 cent rise in Gasoline this week.

Don, the ROPS caught the branch. I forgot I had a ROPS. It came down and wedged me in somehow. Happened real quick. Reversed back and forgot about it until I realized the pain wasn't going to go away after a few days.

19° in Denton this morning, but warming fast and going for a high of 64°. And yep, I used the Alt+0176, but I wouldn't guarantee I'll remember it tomorrow.

Good morning, low -15°F and going to a high of 1. Wind ENE 6 mph. Sunny.

Somehow yesterday after I turned the remote on for the tractor block heater, it got shut off. I do have indicator lights outside but I hardly ever look at them after I turn it on. So the tractor wasn't as warm as it likes, to start. It did start after two heat plug cycles, but it stumbled and farted for what seemed to be 3-5 minutes then finally smoothed out. Filled the shelter with half burned diesel smoke, but the door was open and the smoke dissipated. I think when I last fuelled it I forgot to put in some Power Service anti-gel. As soon as it started I thought maybe the fuel is trying to gel, so in all the smoke I went around to the other side (I only get in and out through the left door) and dumped in 1.5 oz. Usually it only gets 1 oz to the fuel up, but I thought 1.5 wouldn't hurt either. She smoothed right out and after 15 minutes of warm up time off she went to do what I wont do. It took from 09:15 to 12:15 to do my place and the other 3, including pushing back the banks. The last warm day we had I sprayed a full can of Pam on the BB including the pivot points and that made a world of difference to the way the snow curled off the blade. Before that snow was sticking to the blade and I would have to jerk the BB to get it off. Not yesterday.

Today is an energy conservation day and search the web for a dipstick heater for the hydraulics on the tractor and also a remote starter for it as well.

Have a safe day all

38F. Been dropping since about 70F yesterday, and will keep going to 21...likely snow today.

Don, great F puzzle. First time I went through I caught myself on the last "of" and did it again to find all 6.

Toppop, that's a great photo.

Mostly, sorry the ride wasn't as good yesterday. I have days like that.

Alien, hope you're feeling better.

Stayed pretty busy until dark...cleaning woodstove, bringing in firewood, repairing/strengthening a pallet, lubing the FEL, swapping off the bucket for the grapple, and a few associated chores. Lubing goes so much faster with the battery grease gun, but always seems to take a long time on the clean up.

Lit the woodstove this morning, so wife will be happy when she gets up.

good morning all
it's a snowy morning here, about an inch and still coming down. 31 going up to 36 today, snow ending around noon.
Should make driving to church interesting, definitely going to leave early.
I bet most folks will be on zoom.

Randy, wonderful pic of grandkids.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

4” snow. 28°

 

[Buppies]

Long day yesterday drove to charlotte to get some pants hemmed then to SC for dinner with friends probably back today

Prayers for all

Good morning.
It’s 29 and snowing. High of 35 with snow ending by noon.

Yesterday was a busy day, started with mini split install, we had the line set almost run when we noticed the supply house sent the wrong size with tithe unit. Fortunately we had the right size on the truck. After that it went smoothly and we were finished well before noon. This was a Mitsubishi high heat unit that will make heat when it’s well below zero outside, and with the temp around 40, it was cranking out the heat.

Next project was a lumber rack that was going to lag onto the wall in a friend’s garage wood shop. Got to use the new clamp setup on the welding table, and it was awesome, made it effortless to build it square and straight.

Youngest son stopped by to help with some barn chores, oldest son and grandson came by as well. Grandson just wanted to sit in the tractor and close the cab doors. Loader and 3PT were down, so I took the key out and let him have fun in his playhouse.
Apparently he was “pushing his mom’s buttons” so son took him out for a walk to see what grandpa was up to.

15F cloudy low 20's for high.

Plans for today... check game cam,putter,watch some of Super Bowl and that's about it.

Enjoy your day all.

14° right now...high in the mid-20's (about 20° colder than yesterday)

Kick back day, I think...

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 58F @ 5:00AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. Near record high temperatures. High 77F. Winds light and variable.

Spent a lot of time chasing stupid typing mistakes back in my coding days. Looking for effs was easy by comparison, and brought back some not so fond memories...

Still chasing stupid computer mistakes, wasting too much time at it yesterday. Managed to get some seat time in, and cleaned up a pile of branches and a few dead trees. Had just enough traction on the steep hillside to pull the stuff down.

It's Sunday and I'm hoping the construction guys get the day off in the canyon so there will be no delays. Gonna ride a loop up over the mountain, and will probably see some snow. Road reports seem to say everything's open, but we'll see.

Hope everyone enjoys enjoys the rest of their weekend (only one eff there)...

.

Sounds like his happy place is the same as mine.

Don, the ROPS caught the branch. I forgot I had a ROPS. It came down and wedged me in somehow. Happened real quick. Reversed back and forgot about it until I realized the pain wasn't going to go away after a few days.

That’s more exciting than tripping over the curb and falling in the parking lot like I did. Mine are still very sore after almost a month.

Good morning! 19 now, high of 26 or so today.

I spoke too soon about the warmer weather helping. We got some rain over night Friday. Everything was covered in ice yesterday. Spent the day chopping paths, using up a bag of salt, etc. Sidewalk was clear, now I have paths to the barn and wood pile. Probably wasn’t the best tool, and it is going to need resharpened, but used one of the axes to cut through ice. Also drove the truck up to the barn to make a new path since the old path is a solid sheet of ice. My hands and back are feeling today.

Since that kept us busy, we never went to the shelter. Maybe today.

@RedNeckGeek - While neither Mike or I asked one of the museums, we did reach out to the 4 biggest parts suppliers who sell the parts, both NOS and reproduction. All 4 admitted they had never been able to figure out how they fit. Mike knows a number of people who are really into the preservation of the military M models and they admit they are not sure either . So blown up grainy photos, measuring parts, and exchanging a lot of text messages,we think we have it as correct as it will get. A BSA publicity photo from about 1938 of a military M20 blown up, gave us enough detail to at least try what we now think is correct. And I did take pictures. And I would guess one of us will make a drawing.

Everyone stay safe out there
