Good morning!!!!

Thanks Dave, so part of me be moon dust too ? Wow, I may not be a complete turd after all.

I'm sure you have a bit of Moon Dust in you. :laughing:

Sorry you lost the ewe. Are the foxes a constant threat?

Good Morning. 1000, clear, 60F with 54% humidity. Forecast high of 62F with 0% chance of rain, and a low of 27F tonight.

My bad back reared it's ugly head this morning while I was lifting. I guess the turd atoms are winning out over the moon dust ones today. I still have to finish my setup {put out 120 chairs} before the event tonight, so I'm not going to take a chance of making it worse by planting trees. The dibble will stay in the barn for today. Margie took the day off, so there is the chance of a cooked lunch today. That is always a pleasure.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro

Is mowing ever done? My gosh I got the most awesome view of 6 male Cardinals and and bunch of Blue Jays. Now I got a Red headed wood pecker banging on the house. The feeder is full of birds!!

Slight change of plans:

Was out skidding some logs and got off the Kubota to unhook and noticed a steady stream of fluid coming out of the left rear axle ... seal was pushed out of the housing as well. Managed to get it down to the house and The 'Cake and I levered it into the garage once she moved the car out of the way.

So it looks like tractor repair is on the menu for today.

Hopefully it's only the external circlip that holds the axle in that failed ... but I may go ahead and replace the seal while I have it apart.

Good afternoon all. 11F this morning here as well. Partly cloudy and a high of 25F today. Some warming tomorrow then below norm temps in the rest of the 10 forecast. Fireplace is running full bore for a few days, need to score some wood to feed it. BIL/SIL arrive tonight for dinner so most of afternoon is going to be getting ready for them.

RS, sorry to hear about the 'Bota, I hate when it happens to me. Don't forget to hydrate :drink:

Murph, I have a real woodpecker problem, cat isn't interested in stalking them for some reason :confused2: :confused3:

TXDon good to hear you got the drainage project done and leak fix is holding :thumbsup:

Eric sorry to hear about your sheep. Foxes and coyotes do a number on pets around here.

Dave, share all the snow you want to, any extra wood you have will sweeten the deal

mg,

Yeah ... it basically sucks.

Temp has already fallen to 11F ... I got the kero heater moved down to the garage to do the tractor ... but the shop is nice and warm at this point ... so I'm thinking I may wait until tomorrow to work on the tractor, when the sun will be out and the high will be 21F. Easier to heat the garage.

There's enough wood here at the house to get us through tonight and probably tomorrow.

Got the snap ring picked up at the dealer - they were out of the seal. First thing I need to do is pull the rear wheel and see if the axle is really loose ... I'm not sure that it actually is. It may be that the seal just pushed out due to pressurization. If that turns out to be the case I'll have more on that later.

Don't forget to hydrate :drink:

Yeah ... I may need to pick up a 12 pack ... just for medicinal reasons ... to ensure I stay fully hydrated of course ...
