Good morning!!!!

How many shanks on that 10 footer?
On our chisel it's about 50/50 left and right points. When you sink it in the ground and watch how the soil is left will let you know were the points should be.
A 10 footer are you running 2 or 3 rows of shanks?
This is either a 12 or 14 ft, hard ground a 17 couldn't pull it. Good luck

It had 10 points, 3 rows. I fought with it, got it connected and the D-17 wouldn't lift it. Being the first time I've tested the lift, I was thinking maybe I'm not using it right, it's broke/weak, or low on oil... There's a transport valve on the (unused) rear remote - so I fiddled with that also. No joy. I then got my 5' disk connected and the D-17 lifts that fine. So... I took off the rear wings and 4 shanks (probably shaved 300 pounds). It now has 6 shanks and 2 rows.
I'll try again today. There is now a lot of unneeded frame back there, to be cut off maybe...

Yes, that quite a large unit for that tractor, pretty heavy.
6 shanks is still going to be quite the workout for a D-17, I would guess 4 shanks on the front row and 2 on the rear row.

The deed is done. All 66 shares of Telus got sold. Bye, bye to that loosing proposition.

Bye, bye to the snow that was in the driveway. Now the spring melt can continue slowly.

By the way, a snowblower works good on frozen dog turds, too.

I did make FireWise this Morning. Felt good clearing brush again. My main tool a sawzall broke but already have another on order.

a fine bit of wisdom Bill


got all daisies repotted, two more trays for greenhouse, was able to turn off heat since the sun is up
then washed the car. I thought about keeping going and washing the rv but decided to chill instead, got enough
done for today.

was fun to sit in greenhouse with heat turned off (it would burn my trouser leg, been there done that)
and water all the plants, see which ones liked it warmer. I have a folding chair I set up in there and can do most sitting down.

66°F and 0 rain. Still cloudy and rain in forecast. 48% chance. Dare I hope?

Successful trip to town yesterday. Successful bring defined as exchanging money for stuff.

A good Happy Hour at a place we hadn’t visited in more than 6 months. Menu changed and I think we all enjoyed.

Will attempt mowing today. Maybe beat the growth explosion should we get sun.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Sounds like what a lot of tax entities try to do here. When property appraisals go up they know how much the levy will increase at that valuation if the tax rate is left the same. They also calculate how much the rate can be reduced and still collect the same amount as last year. So instead of reducing the RATE to what it would take to keep new revenue neutral - actually called the No New Revenue Rate, they reduce it just slightly so they can tell taxpayers they "reduced your tax rate". While still collecting much more tax money than last year. It's infuriating.

Yup, they have it figured out - to their benefit.

Happy Birthday Drew, and many more.

Not my favorite study method, Dennis.
Took the home exam last time, easier.
