Good morning!!!!

Started picking up rocks. I discovered you can put the hydrostatic trans in 4wd lo and set the cruise slow, then get off and walk ahead throwing rocks in the bucket.
Didn't take long to fill. I'm building a rock ford across the creek with these...where I can cross when the creek bottom is soft wet and muddy. Anyway that's the plan.

When faced with the task of picking rocks I like to use a fork, a 5 tine manure fork work for me I can scoop up anything from3-8 " in diameter and flip into the bucket or trailer. Easier then bending over.

When I was knee high to a Jack Wabbit we had a neighbor used to do that. Slipped getting back on. Got mangled by the rear wheel and died after about a month in hospital.
They put a real nice rock on top of him.
Play careful out there.

When we first got this ranch we had rock parties when in-laws came to visit. Everybody got a chance to drive the tractor and everybody got to toss rocks. 20 + yrs later I can mow that field without ever hitting a rock.

Ok team, here's your early American New Republic homework. My son made a 100 and said kids were trying to cheat off of his test....
Anyway, it's been a long time since I studied any of this, and I'm glad to see that he knows what happened back in the early days of our young government.

I thought about blanking out the answers see if anyone else could do well on this important subject matter. I certainly have forgotten the majority of it.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 18.4C and it's presently 22.5C, now partly cloudy with the odd gusting wind. There was 11.5mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900.

Mail/petrol/grocery run into town went fine, although that's when the misty rain started and pretty much continued for the day... so doing a mow has been put on hold. A good 'bucketing' of rain overnight too.

It should dry out today so I'll get at the outside of the house/mowing this arvo. Although I should get this chest x-ray thing taken care of.

That's about it, take care all

In more urban settings that is known as “ghost riding the whip” 🤣😂🤣👍

Sophie’s Scag still stalled in its stall. Managed to forget 1st rule of working on Scag - make sure battery is charged. Now on charger.

I also got my new, Temu, 24 charger on the diesel generator batteries, thinking they were toast. Nope, fully charged, started right up.

Installed parking break light on Sophie’s BX

Light with alarm. Not constant, blinks on and off.
Magnetic switch on pedal. Not happy with wiring as it is connected to battery for now. Would prefer to find a keyed circuit. Pulled cover on fuse block, but no obvious way for a new connection. Is there a terminal block on the BX?

Clamped some iron weight on the cart way back and it worked good. Now I have to decide if I'll bolt or weld it on - welding is so easy to attach and so hard to remove. Drilling is not so easy to install but so much easier to remove. Who am I kidding? I'll never take it off. Welding it is. lol Down and dirty
Rock picking went good today - prolly do some more tomorrow. Need to clean some stick debris out of the creek bed where I'm building the stone ford.
Have a good night
