"It was a mistake made during a standard procedure at the change over of a shift, and an employee pushed the wrong button,"

More on the Hawaiian false alarm.

Regrettable, although much better than one of Kim Jong's employee's pushing a wrong button

6 above and headed for 9 wind E 10 mph and a 30% chance of flurries.

That is warm enough. I do NOT fire up my tractor in minus 0 f temps.

I think when it goes to the dealer in spring to get the backhoe installed I will get them to change both hydraulic filters and top off the oil. While they are at it they can replace the ignition switch, too.
I know right now that they are going to argue that there is ATF where the hydraulic oil should be and I will tell them that it is only John Deere red dye nd the hydraulic oil is as it should be only red.
After they get done with it, then I will put the straight pipe on.

That is about it for now,

Have a good day all

Good morning all. Forecast and view out of window both agree - it raining and has been all night. The sheep don't care, they are enjoying the novelty of being let into a field that still has plenty of grass.

I got to sample some self inflicted pain at the weekend while helping to clean out a cattle shed. All I did was stand in the shed and watch for a while the pigeons shuffle along the steelwork, then turn 90 degrees to my left to walk out of the doors. My shoulders rotated to follow the direction my head was going no problem, however my feet refused to move - I hadn't realised how deep I had sunk into the gloop. At this point my lower back took exception to this conflict and gave me what felt like an electric shock followed by equal mixes of pain and embarrassment at what had happened.

Fortunately there were only a few cattle present to witness this. They later took pity on me and cleaned 2 wheels on the Iseki untill they shone like new. Cows with power washers ? Nah, just the irresistable attraction of tires soaked in poop, then rolled in straw.



Back is much better this morning, though I think it's hankering for another day of taking it easy and the rest of me is happy to go along with that.

1F now 20F for high just tad warmer than yesterday.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning all, 6 this morning going to 31. Sorry I was grumpy yesterday, been tired lately. Just took it easy yesterday, nap in the afternoon. Hope to get some more tool hangers made for the french cleat system in the shop. Will see how it goes.

Don, We had that same blender and it was ok. We use ours at least 3 times a day blending food for the boy and fruit for the oatmeal. We got a Kitchenaid and like it much better and lasted longer. we are on the 2nd kitchenaid.

LS Mt, Prayers for you wife.

Buckeye, Prayers for your healing and for the hives.

Eric thanks for the pic, I miss the cows.

Have a great day. Ed

-3 this morning. Made it to 25 today. Currently 23. Snow showers moving in. Main clipper system supposed to be here mid morning tomorrow. Additional 2 inches forecast.

Last half of birds scheduled to leave tomorrow night. Talked to the guy in charge of the producers today. He says everything is still on schedule and they don’t plan to change it. He did say he was out today and liked my snow removal efforts, but was not impressed with the county.

So let’s hope that I will be empty tomorrow and can start decaking Tuesday. If I can get the decaker moved in here. I share one with my in laws.

Around here they use to use a Bobcat for decrusting, but no idea what they do now with all these huge operations.

Eric, wonderful picture. A farmer's version of your dog licking the plate clean in the dishwasher.
Good job cows.

24 going into low 40's today. Need to slice up and dump 30 bags of cow manure, speaking of the cow again.
Just going to go slowly. Otherwise no plans today. My calendar says plant lettuce today but I did that yesterday.

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 14° with light snow this morning. Heading to 22° with off and on snow. Hose replacement did not go good. Purchased wrong size facet end. Amazon will have correct ones here tomorrow. Not much planned today. Take wife shopping will be enough.
Best wishes and prayers Riptides, Buckeye, Toppop, Ed and others needing them.
Good Morning All.

19 going to upper 30s, a little light snow midweek unless that second low forms like some data indicates. Even so it’s going to warm behind it.
