My 2500 ram will not go over that bridge over 8000 pounds.

A lot of cat equipment has Kubota engines in them skid loaders mini ex rollers etc. Cat cannot meet emissions with their own motors

I am in the same boat with Ford F350 dually. Sprinter may get by if lightly loaded

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 4:45AM. Sunny. High 77F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Yesterday was good for painting weather wise, but the contractor kept me busy taking lights and hose reels off the house, which saved them some masking time and resulted in a better paint job, too. They got about half the base color on, and will probably finish that today. One guy spraying, two guys leveling it out with rollers to get the paint into the fine cracks that had developed in the stucco. They'll do the trim with rollers and brushes, I'm told.

We moved the van to a spot next to the parts car, then wrapped both in plastic. Went to use the tractor to bring up some rocks to hold down the plastic and rolled the front left tire off again. I thought a new valve stem would cure the leak in that tire, but apparently that was not the only thing leaking. Once they finish painting the front of the house, I'll limp it back to the garage by dragging the forks to keep the flat off the ground. And try to find the leak.

Jumped in the side-by-side to gather up the rocks and found one of the back tires was flat, too. So that's on today's agenda as well.

Hump Day already!

Interesting article on mental illness, probably won't be going away anytime soon.

Thanks, our son is diagnosed schizophrenia however he had it since young but they don't diagnose for that before older. He went through many hospitalizations as a child but they were always careful not come out and say directly what his diagnosis was.

Poured first cup of coffee. 39° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 77° with mostly cloudy skies. Got some weeding done around gardens. Did not get weed killer down. To much wind. Maybe get it done today. Plan to mow grass after it dries.
New cleanup crew around feeders.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Ron- Yesterday I counted 43 Blue Jays and there were probably more with all the BJ activity. They were not making a lot of noise so I suspect that they were migrating Jays. No one knows why Blue Jays migrate; only they do.

Kilroy Bobcat is owned by Daedong sp the same company that owns Kioti. The parent company used to build Kubota tractors for Kubota then started making their own looks a lot like Kubota big law suit resulted

Did not know that - I know at one point Bobcat was owned by Ingersoll-Rand, didn’t know it went to furn owners…

It looks like that wildfire smoke plume has shifted south of southern NE and it was a calm and clear 32ºF for this morning's low temperature. Currently it is a sunny 56ºF and I expect clear skies, a high temperature ~70ºF this afternoon. I am still at a puttering around stage with Spring cleanup activities.

Mrs. and Mr. Baltimore Oriole at the orange rack this morning. Last year We had 2 meeting pairs here.

Kilroy, that little Saturn doesn't have enough power to get out of its' own way. None the less, an interesting experiment.

Don't you hate it when you go to a hospital and ask for a diagnosis and the evasive ba$t@rds won't give a direct answer. That would be especially hard on the wallet in the 'States.

Jay, Blue Jays migrate because it is too cold for them in the north. They don't have too much fat on them and the food sources aren't there for them.

Chevy made a production car years back (I forget the model) with a tiny 3cyl gas engine - I thing the Saturn beats it hands down!

“Back in the day” when the 610 was new they used Wisconsin engines and had clutches rather than hydrostatic drive. That was when it was Melroe. Later they went to Hydostatic drive and mostly Kubota engines during the Ingersol years, then when the Koreans took over, they switched to their own engines.
