Good Morning! 35F @ 6:30 AM. Plenty of sunshine. High 52F. Winds light and variable.
Happy Birthday Farmer!! Hope you get some seat time in on your new present. :laughing: My Kubota came with one of those light material buckets, along with an inch and a half bow in the lower lip. Fella I bought it from musta been trying to pry stumps up out of the ground with it. :duh:
Frosted cows, Don? Neighbor kids pulling a prank? Maybe some of that left over cactus beer? :shocked:
Got the modified battery in yesterday and the bike fired right up, just like it should. Shoved an exhaust gas analyzer up one of the mufflers and went for a ride. Good power from right off idle now, and even stronger up to 6000 RPM. Meter shows it's running rich all over, especially at small throttle openings, so today I'll drop the needles in the carbs one notch. More riding today to confirm.
Walked a letter up to the mail box yesterday and noticed on the way back down the hill that I'd lost another tree in Sunday's wind storm. Another oak, snapped off about 6' from the ground. Darn shame, as it made good shade for where I usually park the splitter.
So that's two good sized trees down on the ground and needing some clean up. The other is down off a steep hillside and came down in a storm last year. Been waiting on a good reason to install trailer hitch receivers on the tractor so I can mount a portable winch, and I guess this is it.
Happy Hump Day, folks!
