Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

67 and rain just ended...going to 75.

Mostly, enjoy your special time with your GGD!

Kyle, your pond work reminds me of the efforts Eric of Shropshire made with his pond weeds. That was quite a job, and took real innovation, like yours.

Yesterday was a typical hike and Della swim day with odd jobs.

Yes, thanks for reminding me about Eric. I wonder how he's getting along? Hope OK.

With 18 million views the Good morning thread would seem like a magnet to advertisers.

We should form a collective of gentlemen (and our wives) and offer to do honest reviews of products given to us to try out. We could come up with a name contest like TOAFs Trusty Old Arse Farts. Common sense here hear.

My post count took a huge hit.

If we all remember this was done once before and the uproar caused it to be moved back. It is not our site but Muhammad’s and he can do as he pleases just do not believe the advertisers had this much power. If they do this Country is in worse shape than I ever imagined. Budweiser and Jaguar come to mind I’m sure there are others. Perhaps its time like BEF to move on never thought I would see such nonsense on a tractor forum of greed or whatever Good Evening all

BUT they are nice going across the scales hit the brakes a few times and the sloshing makes it tough to weigh correctly!

I did that when I was a good bit overweight and I knew it!
Legal for 3 lbs short of 140,000 lbs and was 145,500 lbs. The scale man wasn't paying attention to the fact that it was a tanker coming on the scale next and flipped the red light on. I was ready for him and spiked it hard. Well, the weight on the scale went up and then down and then back up again, there was 1/4 mile of trucks behind me and he flipped the green light on and away I went. Only 5,500 lbs overweight. I was talking to him a couple of weeks later and he told me what happened on his side and said to me that it didn't matter because "I was legal anyway" wasn't I.
I just said Uh, huh. That was an axle scale, the most axles you could put on the scale at one time was three and that was a tight fit.
You could go around that scale IF you knew the route but why bother, it is only open from 7 til 7, 6 days/week. Closed on Sundays.

Good evening,
Although I haven’t been posting much lately I do try to keep up with the everyday going’s on. I see names of members mentioned often who truly have “moved on”
Roy, Bird, Jinman and many others. I’ve always thought this thread was about the folks who post about the day to day stuff of each others lives and the friendships created over the years. Does it really matter that much where this thread is placed or post counts or good post counts that members would have a hissy fit and move on? It’s to bad if that’s the case, the only ones hurt are ourselves. I realize no one likes change (me too) but in the screwed up world we live in this little blip don’t mean much. IMHO

enjoy your evening everyone, life really is too short

Good evening all. 63ºF for the start, partly cloudy sky, light breeze. Light wind, light to moderate gusts, partly cloudy sky, and high temp 84ºF. No rain in 10 day and all days +5º above normal.

Drinking first cup of hot coffee. 34° clear skies this morning. Heading to 60° with plenty of sun. Did not get to cutting front grass yesterday. To many small things that took to much time to complete. Maybe after shopping I will get at it today.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

48 going to 66.

Buppies, I'm with you...I don't much care about what sub-forum this thread is in, or post counts, etc...but, just didn't think the everyday discourse we have on Good Morning was worthy of censorship. Parts of our world are still upside down. At least I'm not seeing any advertisements anymore.

Mowed grass yesterday...always interesting to me to see how the grass changes this time of year as it shifts one last time to try to reproduce with seed stalks rather than grass blades.

I need to restore the headlight lens on my 2016 truck...getting almost 10 years is pretty good. I know Project Farm did a review about a year ago and will check that out. I think one of you did this recently and was impressed with your product performance...was that you popgadget? Are you still pleased? Anyone else?

Weather forecasters have very different views of the storm coming up the coast...one I just watched says a quarter to half an inch, the other says 3 to 5 inches. Hope it's in between.

Good morning, the low is 29 and going to a high of 54°F. Wind NE 5 mph. Sunny!
That was the coldest night of this fall/winter season since summer. The Moose will be on the move now, it takes a good frost to get the rut going.

I guess because this is a tractor forum that if you don't say something about a tractor in EVERY post the BOT axes that post as a part of the post count. Life is too short to get my knickers in a knot over this.

I am going to see if I can get my $200.oo+ credit back from my previous oil supplier today. I found out that he would buy the cheapest off spec oil he could and then dump a whole bunch of additives into it to bring it back into spec.
I am now buying name brand oil for less than the previous guy and they have to travel farther with it. More bang for my buck.

My first snow plowing customer called yesterday wanting to know if I am doing it again this coming winter and how much. $150.oo, the same as last winter. They are just paying for the fuel, not my time or repairs to the tractor.
The catch is that I don't go out at 7 o'clock in the morning. Most times I go out about 11 or noon. Plow this place out to where you can get a vehicle in and out, then plow everybody else and do the 'fine tuning' here when I get back. We haven't gotten a really big dump (24+" or so) in quite a few years, if that happens then I will plow my way out and deal with everybody else and leave this place until last. I took the teeth off my bucket in the early fall and am not putting them back on until maybe in Spring when I need to move snow piles.

Time for breakfast, have a safe day all

Good Morning,

If they do this Country is in worse shape than I ever imagined.

Buppies, there may be some truth to that statement

but, just didn't think the everyday discourse we have on Good Morning was worthy of censorship.

Billy, neither did I !
