Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Decided to not journey 1hr each way to the doctor. Am doing better with the issue i was having, and frankly nothing for him to see now. And he never got back with a time anyways.

Now trying to get ahold of my regular doctor to renew a perscription for my statin. Their phone still on holiday mode. I called pharmacy for refill, they wont refill even though it says i have refills. Pharmacy claims my perscription was cancelled. I asked how and who cancelled it, they wouldnt say, said i needed doctor to send in new perscription. Told them maybe it will go to a different pharmacy.

If it ain't one thing, it's another...

Bought my sons a peddle tractor when they were young. Caught the youngest, 19 yo, 6ft tall, riding it the other day, but couldnt get camera in time. Was funny seeing him on it.

Before you know it Roy mud and blackflies.

We're on a paved road (RT 12), so the mud season isn't going to bother us too much. My buddy lives on a dirt road...and it is a bit difficult to get to his place though.

Just came in from doing the drive and walks...I guess this is the 4th time I've done this since Saturday. Hopefully, the last time for a week or so...

37 currently.

Just wondering down to the chicken coops for today. Sister’s family had a stomach bug last week and I told her to keep it in Louisville. But the pharmacist swore that they weren’t contagious and came in anyway Saturday. 48 hours later and over half of the people at that family get together have a stomach bug, with the same symptoms her family had. Her Christmas text message from me wasn’t nice.

Walk birds and check cows hay supplies. Then probably a trip to town to get some more sprite and ginger ale.

Went to see a front end end loader in “excellent“ condition. It looked like the hammer brigade jumped on it, followed by the rust monster, then the seal eaters. That thing leaked, like a sieve, had more rust than a submarine and looked like it had been through the shredder.

So ........ other than those extremely very minor issues, was there anything major wrong with it Randy??

Maybe it was salvaged off this tractor?

We had around 6 inches of snow to clean up yesterday, today when I got home from work I had 18 to 20 inches of drifts across the driveway. Got that cleaned up and moved a snow pile the town plow truck left in front of the house. Getting ready for the bitter cold coming soon and lasting till next week/year.

gosh it sounded like a low hour creampuff to me.

Randy, whatever you get you'll likely have the rest of your life, so don't skimp. Get something
you know you will like. Other than a ZL1 Camaro.

got some nice seat time on the Kubota, put the rear rake on it and filled in potholes on my neighbor's driveway, plus made the field roads smooth after I disc'd the weeds last week.
Just an excuse to get outside and get some sun on my face.

Well, how rude, they just posted a winter weather advisory, meaning we will have to suffer the indignities
of ice and a dusting of snow tomorrow morning. Good, I'm headed to the Kubota dealer at 9 to put in the order for my F mower,
nothing like a little ice glaze to make things interesting. Thankfully I have plenty of experience driving in crappy weather.
The Outback with Michelins is likely to have more grip than the truck, full time awd vs 4wd with limited slip. But if I'm not plowing through six inches of snow,
am thinking the Subaru is a better winter car. But I am likely to take the truck anyway after all this because it has remote start and will warm itself up and melt the ice
by remote. Nothing like sitting down on a warm seat and grabbing a warm steering wheel when the weather is awful outside.
Makes me wonder when tractors will have that...only a matter of time.

Drew, I hope you have better luck with Kubota Mowers than me. I’ve been trying to buy one of their ZD1500 diesel zero turns with 72” rear discharge deck since October. No ZD1511’s will be shipped until mid March 2018???

not good, hope that's a regional thing. I never did ask ETA.........
I'll let you know what I'm told tomorrow, which of course means nothing until the unit actually shows up.
I waited almost two months for a Bush Hog mower much to the chagrin of the Massey dealer.
Sure won't be selling my current mower until the new one is proven operational.

I just love talking about working in the dirt and mowing stuff while our New England and Canadian friends are slithering around pushing snow drifts.
There were even flowers blooming outside, I think camelias. They however are about to get frozen along with everything else.
This is exactly the cold snap I need for my fruit trees to go fully dormant, so always a silver lining to the eye widening propane bill.
