The more glory I give the Lord and the more I pray and put him first, the better my life gets.
My 7 year old granddaughter was baptized this morning and I said to myself what more can a man ask for.

Been prayin a lot lately. I am maxed out on the work load I have now, but I know I have to keep expanding.
All the Glory to God.
I'm always thankful for how the amount of time I have and the work coming in seem to match fairly well.

I usually go for a long healthy brisk walk with my wife in the evenings to work it all out.

Fellas, let's all read that line again.

Seems this could apply to more than stiff legs. Could apply to solving many of life's problems

Few Action shots from today. All the while I’m like “dang, I need to start mowing hay”….

This is a 9 hour mowing job. Got underway at 7AM on a nice sunny day.

Easy mowing, light field grass & weeds.

I really need a large tool box mounted to the mower for blower, spare blades, greaser, etc. would be great to have DC wire run 🏃 side of it to keep dewalt battery charged for greaser & impact.

The "biggest small" improvement that could be made to our tractors is a large storage compartment with an AC/DC inverter so you can go out into the field with some tools, small chain saw, rechargeable tools, etc. for quick repairs.

This is one place technology is getting much better. Inverters are better and more affordable than ever.

I was thinking it could pick up a wire lead out of the 7 pin plug on back of tractor and power a battery charger.
Inverters are great. Have one in the Ram and it’s surprisingly powerful.

If you make a pigtail to a 7 pin plug and use the hot lead (and also a ground) then your could use your inverter on any tractor, truck, or SUV that has a 7 pin harness. It would be totally portable.
