Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Back fro the successful trip to the nursery in town. Very nice gal (who knows her stuff) helped us find the trees. She stated that they just arrived yesterday, and most were "in shock" from the long truck ride.

BUT.... she went into the grouping, dug out the 2 best ones for us to look at and select one. SOLD. Excellent customer service.... a rarity these days.

Wrapped it up and made the trip home without a branch being damaged. Of course, the wind was too strong for us to get it planted, and the temp was up to 86°. Unloaded it around back in a fairly protected area. We'll plant it tomorrow.

Then, while getting a bite to eat, a giant dirt-nado crossed right into the house and yard. Took the wrought iron patio chairs right off the front porch! It only lasted a few seconds going over. When I went out to check the tree, it was still upright.... but, just 10 ft away, the greenhouse wasn't as lucky. Blew out and destroyed 5 out of 6 panels only on one side of the roof (same side where the tree was). Now there is more work on the to-do list.

The son is going to pick up some polycarbonate panels for me when he gets done at work. Hopefully they will work for the repair nicely. I know what I will be doing tomorrow morning......

Hope everyone has had a better day!

RNG, nice video. Hard to tell any elevation levels, but looks good. Those are some really big burn piles ! Going towards the culdesac area, are there big downed trees? Lots of firewood.....

Wet day (good!!!)
Deere dealer called...ZT major work is done...not cheap (about $1200), but overdue and, frankly, not work I was good at.
One thing I did ask for was to install bar turf tires (I supplied) since the are a couple areas that were a bit slick for turfs
Should be returned tomorrow (knock on wood) and should be like a brand new ZT (except for the hour meter, of course)
Way, way too wet to work outside...need to do some weed trimming, but not today...maybe Saturday...

Success!!!!
Actually got the BX all the way to the house without ruining the surprise. Sophie is very happy with it and that makes me happy.
She did let me drive it to park in the tractorshed. Unfortunately, didn’t get any good pics yet.

Pleasantly surprised, but the quoted price from last Sep was what I paid. I really expected to be told increase in trans cost. I keep hearing how the shipping from Ca to Hi has skyrocketed.

Congrats David and I'm sure a very happy Sophie!

Anxiously awaiting those shiney pictures!

New tractors are the best kind! Congrats to Sophie.

Had my surgery today, minor complications caused some minor bleeding and pressure elevation. Had to go back for a little tweak, seems better now.

Randy, glad your complication was minor so you can continue on the road to full recovery.
David, How can you not include pics of a new tractor on your first new tractor post?

We see where we rank......
