Good morning!!!!

It comes with thumb (with correct pincher!), 24” toothy bucket, and 6-way blade. Open canopy, I need to fab a front screen. Maybe down the road, I may find a boat canvas guy to fab some panels for weather resistance…

Gives you some time to study the manuals. Hope you have cordless grease gun you will need it. The service requirements are surprisingly easy. The important first service is changing the gear oil on the track motors at 50 hrs

We got the lot mowed today. Left late, didn’t get there till 12:30, but almost 3 hrs on the BX got it done.
The best news is the neighbor that last year mowed 300 yds onto our land, is now mowing to the line. I drove rebar next to the corner pin on my side, and put pvc pipe over it so I can see it.

This is bottom side of lot where we will probably build.

The mower blades were terribly dull, so not a great cut, but it’s cut. Taking the BX back to my house to do some maintenance on it.
We planted daffodils at the corners where the septic area is marked, in case the stakes get damaged again.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.6C and it's presently 20.2C, light wind. It was rain-cloudy this early morning and now it's partly cloudy... there was 4.8mm in the gauge at 0900.

Last evening's meeting was very 'productive' although it was sad to discover that the Thai menu items have been discontinued, probably due to it being Autumn and tourism/demand has seasonally declined. Still, I enjoyed a lamb shank on mashed spuds. Heck, I even ate all of my veggies!

I need to head over to Pyengana and pick up some cheese for another meeting tomorrow (raffle prizes). Early morning start to reach that meeting on time. I'll probably check in here to TBN later that day.

Although I've got some dental floss, I haven't used it in ages because I've converted to "Piksters" interdental brushes. They come in different sizes and are 'reusable'. They honestly work great and my plaque is practically zero. I also use a Braun "Oral B" electric toothbrush.

That's about it, take care all.

My flan was well liked by all.
Unfortunately for the guys, the gals beat us by largest margin ever, just never in the cards for us.

Poured first cup of coffee. 42° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 53° with rain and wind. Grocery shopping went well. Was going to change oil and filter in JD mower. Before mowing grass. Not enough oil and no filter on shelf. Ordered them both from Amazon. Did not stop me from mowing grass.
Cleanup crew did a good job under feeders. Not sure what I will do today yet.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

[Buppies]

Nice turkeys Ron I haven’t heard ours in a day or two

Sorry about catching the bard wire m7040

PopG they look naked and afraid

 

[KilroyJC]

KJC, cheap solar stuff here

Temu.com

Thank you! I see the banner ads for all sort tchotchke from them, I didn’t know they had actual “useful” stuff

 

[KilroyJC]

Thanks for all the BD wishes! Yes it was a pleasant quiet event. Had a Reeses' peanut butter ice cream cake. Delicious! (But not nutritious). I limited myself to one piece.

Congratulations sent to Kilroy! How are you going to hold up for 2 weeks before delivery?

RS, that stand looks great! A lot better than the unpainted angle iron one that I made for my saw...... I'm gonna hafta up my game......

Drew, as long as the light works.... good to go until you get a replacement. Hope your outings today were fun!

Fritz, you got off easy with the fence.... could have been a giant ball of wire. At least it wasn't on a mower!

RNG, hope you can find a suitable place to look at when you're down south. Maybe the realtor will get a better idea of what to look out for.....

Did get all the appointments, grocery shopping, and cut list done. The wind kicked up again today, due to a big cold front coming in after midnight.
Yes, we have a chance of SNOW early in the morning. I think this is Ron's fault..... talking about the white stuff earlier this week..

Supposed to drop to 26°.... not good for the now bloomed fruit trees and flowers. Then by Saturday afternoon, it will be back up in the high 60's. Crazy temp swings.

Everyone have a relaxing evening!

Happy Belated Hatch Day!

Timing was a big thing: Kubota had a 0/0 Deal until the end of April. I need to go back north on some family stuff for about a week, and Mrs will be staying with the dog and chickens and getting Spring Cleaning done without me underfoot, plus other miscellany. So it made sense to pull the trigger now and take delivery when we are ready to work in earnest, instead of having the machine sit unattended at the wood lot with arms fretting about it.

land I did without it this long, a little more won’t hurt!
