Good morning!!!!

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7C and it's presently 17.4C, partly cloudy and no rain in the gauge. The High could be 18C.

Plan for today is to chain-harrow paddocks 3/4/5 IOT break up the horse droppings... I'll make a decision after that regarding mowing the 'front/exercise' paddock.

I ordered next Winter's wood for delivery next week, at their convenience. The ground should be firm enough for the deliveries. Then, of course, I get the pleasure of stacking it all so that it can dry out.

That's about it, take care all.

The Grammer air suspension seat from the M7040 tractor was not working and earlier in the year I repaired a wire that had rubbed inside it and preventing the air compressor from turning on. I put the mechanical suspension seat back in it that had come with the tractor when new. After repairing the air suspension base adapted it for use on the Kubota ZD 331 ZT mower with some brackets and drilling and using the original seat on top of the suspension seat. It works great and it has increased my speed dramatically especially on bumpy ground.

I order 9 tons... which is a 'local' measurement meaning 9 ute loads. They're a local business that I've supported ever since I retired here and usually give me a discount (A$10 off per 'load') due to my loyalty.

53° right now...high about 70° today...

Heading in to work to help on the annual product inventory. That'll take about 2 half-days, so I'l be going in tomorrow too...probably 4-5 hours each day. Margeaux will have to fend for herself...but I'll make sure she has plenty of food and water. Hope she doesn't get into too much mischief. She's really settled down though...probably sleep most the time.

Talked to the wife last evening.... cold and snow in Wyoming. The high there was the low here (29°). Don't think she was ready for that...don't think I am either!

Good morning, the low is 50 and the high should be around 63°F. Wind S 11 mph. Cloudy.

Today is clean up the neighbour ladies mess. A bunch of scrap wood on the bottom and the steel from a portable shelter (low slope roof) on the top of the load. Others have expressed a desire to have the steel but it still sits there, in the way since last spring. Today it will get relocated to the dump.

I called the bank manager yesterday and she agreed with me that I shouldn't have to pay the extra charges and will refund them to my account. Especially since they don't advertise that the ATM will be 'down' between 08:30 and 09:00 every day. I just checked my bank account just now and the manager did in fact make the refund for the full $4.50.

While I am at the dump I am going to see if I can 'score' a refrigerator door or two. The older fridge doors make good body work panels and they are cheaper than buying body metal. I am building a larger chute for the wood conveyor. It was designed for moving the wood from the short conveyor after a wood splitter to a pile. I am using it more or less the way it was designed BUT I am loading it up with a loader bucket and need the extra chute space for the wood to fall off the bucket without landing on the ground. I put a section of the same steel on to protect the honda motor and then decided that I should have put the steel all the way around the bottom section when I put the wood in this past fall.

The army trailer is all hooked up to the Dodge and a real bear to back up, can't see the trailer at all in my mirrors, so I may need to put ladies aides on the trailer. Flags that stick out on both sides so I can see the trailer. The backup camera is only good for hooking up.
That is my day all lined up for me.

Have a safe day all
