Good morning!!!!

Good Morning Again Mike,

Maybe this is the year for chemicals.

Have you given any thought to one of those articulating trimmers that mow around fence posts, they look pretty slick and I would think they make them for a 3 pt hookup ?

 

[wngsprd]

Good Morning Billy,

Billy OMG, what a story ! You obviously handled it way better than I would have
So glad that you got the bonus hike in, partly makes up for the $220 towing charge. Did you find out from the rangers where the correct parking place would be ? Or do they just expect you to hike over a mile before you start the real hike ?

Well, they said they thought I was legal, and they had parked in the same spot where my truck had been. They said SNP would look into it. It is not their jurisdiction, so they are sort of victims, too...they were carrying lots of trail maintenance equipment, so it will be a long road hike for them to the trail next time, too.

Everyone, including the taxi drivers, motel clerks, and even the towing company guys were so friendly and helpful. Front Royal seems like a great place. Too bad I had an expensive learning experience about 15 miles south.

good morning, 64 going to 70 with light rain

Did not do much yesterday but did mange to pick up a prescription

Also cleaned up some more areas in the milking parlor. I don't know what is up with saving strings from hay bales but they are hanging in bunches on pegs
Back in the day nothing was wasted
Did some more demo work in the welding shop. Some very wide oak boards are now ready for some other purpose. Need to get nails removed on a lot of them using the channel lock nipper to pull them out

Also mowed another area that was first time and long. Lots of clippings left

Good Morning Mike,

Mike he has a 52” Bad Boy mower, for his yard around the house maybe 2 acres. That wouldn’t have been my choice either but the field is too rough for the ZTurn. I really wanted to tell him but couldn’t get myself to do it.

I probably mow 7 acres of field with a much larger tractor and a 5 ft mower and it still takes me at least 5 hours or more of bouncing around out in the field . He will figure it out soon

Dealer should have quizzed him.
I feel bad for the guy. Time and comfort are precious.

 

[Buppies]

West of here got plenty of rain we got drops pollen is terrible everything green decks house truck etc.

Took Holly dinner last night she ate some cake one bite of lasagna all the bread. Refused to take her pills last night turned into bad scene. Fell asleep in chair woke up at one right into bed woke up a little bit ago. She did have shower and ate food they had brought her before I got there.

Wngsprd I’m sorry that happened but glad all turned out well. Have two jobs to look at today then grass mowing.

Prayers for all our Country

Still waiting on people to come reinstall fence for new puppy kinda of depressing. She sleeps in crate like Della. Breeder is very nice been training her for someone like us win win for us. Her treats are carrots healthy treat

 

[Looking4new]

Scotty, maybe your friend likes mowing.

 

[Buppies]

Our son came by to visit Holly they at first refused to let him in said only one visitor at a time clearly says up to 3 when threatened with show cause and judge backed down. Judge is friend of son and was eating dinner that guard was about to go to jail

 

[txdon]

I don't know what is up with saving strings from hay bales but they are hanging in bunches on pegs

My dad used the string bunches for starting brush pile fires, cheaper than diesel.

 

[Looking4new]

We braided the binder twine for halters for the horses.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

We mowed about 40-50 acres at the farm with 5 ft until we got the 6 ft last yr. Would like to go bigger, but that means bigger tractor.
I used my 5 ft mower on my 20 hp Massey all the time.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I braided baler twine for ropes for swings. Dad kept all of his.

Good morning
67° with passing showers. Got about 1/4” of rain so far. Temp’s not supposed to change much.

Yesterday was a nice paced, generally slow moving day started with getting a load of mulch (which is still in the dump trailer). Mulch yard is less than mile down the road, I just haul the trailer with the tractor.

When I looked outside I saw the resident under this shed out on the porch. As long as they don’t cause any damage, I leave them alone.

Son came up to fly RC, I joined him, grandson was sitting in the workman.

Didn’t accomplish much more, a little work on the computer, some tweaks to the camera server, had fun playing music, just three of us, bass guitar and drums. Played a wide variety of songs from the Ventures, Hank Sr, Ricky Nelson, Chris Isaak, Buddy Holly and old blues standards.

No plan for today, be interesting to see what comes up.

 

[Buppies]

Haven’t heard the Ventures in a long time

Nothing like Hawaii Five O to get blood pumping

Been a week. Got way behind. Hope I didn't miss too much.

Autistic daughter has been very problematic. Our state doesn't have the best services for mental patients anymore. It is a toss up whether you can restrict a person's rights of liberty (when they haven't committed a crime) vs letting them remora scavenge off of society. She has become combative to guidance and won't let us tell her anything. We blame online videos for much of our dilemna. We take her "screens" away for discipline, yet she remains defiant and hateful. She can be nice when she wants something. This disease is just as bad as alzheimers IMO, because it starts at an early age and now they are saying 1 in 32 can get it.

Billy, sounds like a towing racket. I'd go back and post exacting signs about parking. Seems the state would not allow a group of homes on a road to deny a few parking spaces. But sure the homeowners would like NO traffic on their road...

Lifted my 16ft trailer on jack stands to crawl underneath and zip tie the wiring better. Spun the wheels and checked them for looseness. 1 needed the axle nut tightened 1 notch.

Works been busy, life has been busy. Took mother to cardio testing. They even did an esophogeal ultrasound scan. TEE for short.
May 6 is for consulting about whether to go ahead with the mitral valve clip surgery.

Prayers for our team, especially Buppies and wifey, Ted and wifey.

Ron, we took our tame mallard to the city pond last night, where there was at least 1 other duck, maybe more. I couldn't see well at night. He was getting too amorous, wanting to make whoopee with everything that moved.

One of the bright spots of my week. Picked about 4-5 lbs of dewberries.

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, Going up to 72. Rain
Got 2 tomatoes and 1 sweet pepper planted.

We lost power for a few hours, easy enough to spot why when I went down to the mailbox.

Son gets home 1:15am tomorrow morning, guess that made the flight cheaper.

Another fight with the insurance company on the car insurance. Too many hours on the phone.
So did not get to take brushcutter out, now too wet from rain

Dog has been to the vet and an animal hospital, they can only sedate her....how do they treat seizures ?

Riptides, guess I won't complain about the distances I do with the weedwhacker and brushcutter, 3 miles is quite the task, time for something on 4 wheels with a motor or a 3pt hookup.

Don't know what I will do today,

Be well,

A very common occurrence here.

 

[daugen]

in between the rain drops quick trip downtown to get four bags of
hardwood mulch which is really all I need since the beds have been kept up.
plus I got a centerpiece plant for new outdoor table.

no other plans today other than going to dinner at brother's home.

Kyle, you always hope it will get better, sorry it's not, can't imagine the strain this puts on you two.
Pretty much defines caregiver fatigue
But she'll always be your baby.
hope you get more help

 

[daugen]

six years ago attended Beaufort Co Ag extension event where they showed us how hemp was planted.
at that time, expectations were for double to triple the revenue per acre, which was offset somewhat by
expensive "legal" seed and regulatory guidelines. Wonder how that all turned out.

 

[m7040]

Kyle, the help with mental issues was not better back when we were there dealing with it in Houston. The company health insurance helped and the CEO leaning on the insurance provider was invaluable.
Hope you can find some help

We have taken Cody to the vets several times and also did the MRI hearth scans to rule that out. With a frequency of one to two episodes a year nothing is recommended. More often there is medicine to reduce the frequency somewhat. Had a kid with seizures that were given medicine. It did not help a whole lot

Good Afternoon,
Just a parting shot of what my neighbor will be mowing with that 4 ft mower and 20 hp. He will have plenty of seat time that’s for sure you don’t even see all of the property from where I took the picture on my north hedge row
