Accurite says 24 degrees, Wunderground says 34 degrees. I guess I have to get a new weather gizmo. Well, if there's lots of frost out there when the sun comes up, I'll know which one was right. Hard to believe I live in deep freeze hollow...
David and others in New England, safe driving. And yes David, they made me do a full heart stress test not once but twice when they doubled up my dose of Celebrex to the max. It's hard on the heart...why I don't know. I have a low pulse, ok BP, though I tend to spike, and no problems or pains.
I always thought my heart was my best part. 
The rest of me is sure falling apart. Such is life and the joys of "senior" years. We are a pretty active bunch of seniors...for those of us who qualify.
Which is what I kept in mind as I ran the Super A through the rows again yesterday. It's still clumping up too much but I think I have an answer.
My farmer neighbor has an implement he calls a "humper", ok, aka flattener, that he runs over his too tall rows which flattens the rows for planting. That's just what I need to do. So....I'm going to raise the pull behind rototiller to its highest transport position and see if that is high enough to run over the rows. The Gravely garden tractor, which has R1 rears, front end will simply bulldoze down the peaks, will sure have to give my old girl a good greasing after that. I don't need huge humps...if it had been drier the sandy soil would have flung better. As it was it tended to stick to the end of the discs and peel off in soft lumps.
My onions are talking to me. Plant us! Plant us! And the cabbages too. Beets are ready but I can't put them out until later this month, plus the electric fence has to be up and running. Beet tops are yummy, to deer and rabbits too. So if Momma rabbit wants a bite she's going to hopefully get zapped before she does. Should have three wires, low mid and high, but might run out of wire by then. Need to buy another roll; zapper is rated for 15 miles so not like I'm going to run out of juice. No electric here, could have gone solar but they are more expensive and less reliable, so I went with a 12V battery operated one. When it runs down, I just take it back to the barn, put it on the smart charger and back it goes.
Now what would be very cool is to have a small solar charger which would charge the battery, which in this case is a small sealed battery that used to be the battery in my Kubota UTV. Just about every battery I have gets a second life. Usually somewhere in the 5-7 year period I yank them out and put a new one in, using the old one to power my DC diesel tank pump, my water wagon, etc.
As the world turns, finding electric power a lot more reliable than internal combustion.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a small solar charger? Thinking Northern tools, HF if I have to.
There seems to be several grades of quality of solar chargers, and how do you tell quality from a picture?
