Good morning!!!!

[farmer2009]

Well sun finally made it out. Up to about 60 here. Warmer tomorrow. Need to be thinking about fertilizer. Rain starts back Saturday.

Drew. Serviced kubota yesterday. MX5200 so service cost should compare to your tractor as they're roughly the same size. 440 hours on tractor. Last service was at 75 hours. Attached is picture of the receipt. Your dealer is way off on his air filters.

I only use compressed air to blow out air filter when needed. Sometimes multiple times a day. Filter installed at 75 hours. Blown out many times and here is what it looks like now. Don't remember last time it was cleaned. Probably a month ago.

Inner filter still looks new. I'll save old air filters to reuse in an emergency. Just clean and go.

A warm 82 and windy. The things that sting and bite are out. Whipper surprised me yesterday by catching a 20 pound pig. She didn't need dinner. Here is a pic of a stingy thing on the trail. There was a long snake on the road and when I got out of the truck to get pic of it it transformed into a fan belt.

When I was about four, I went to cross our breezeway to the kitchen, there was a broken fan belt there on the walk, I ran screaming into the kitchen and told mom there was a black snake on the breezeway. She said, that's just a fanbelt, I said, are they poison?! :laughing:

Saw a bald eagle on the way home. Sitting beside it's nest.

Yep, I was going to take a picture of me holding it like a snake, but just my luck it would have bit me.

sodamo, my area is engaged with attempting a local government build-out and operations of internet services. It carries a hefty price tag and seeks to expand services throughout the county. For myself, I managed to deploy equipment to boost signal strength captures and then disperse it to the farm accordingly. If you can figure out where your cell towers are, that may be an option.

!

Currently I'm looking here: 4GAS(R) Internet |1-815-25-33 | Rural Internet

If I understand correctly, I'll be able to get a cellular data connection and extend with my own wifi to things like my wx station and Outback, get unlimited data for about $83/mon. No contract. This may prove an acceptable interim, if not long term solution. Who know what technology is just beyond the horizon.

After extensive conversation with my current provider I'm not confident our problems will be solved by end of the month. I think I may have somewhat called his bluff by offering to help with the physical work and pay for the equipment as an immediate fix. His focus seems to be getting the community based group operating with him as the consultant. Personally, if he lets our part of the system die I'll not be part of the group to resurrect it. I expect to have something in place before then.
