Good morning!!!!

48 climbing to 67.

Ron, those feathers look 3D on your crane. Great shot.

Sodamo, looks like that setup is perfect for your needs. Happy dogs.

Yesterday was coffee roasting day, since I gave away most of the last batches.

Prepped for the storm, but didn't get much rain, and it was windy all day.

All this chatter about multiple tractors. Discussion when CFO suggested my getting the Bobcat was selling the blue LS for partial payment. Hmmm, probably wise to stay the course.

Other than short-term capital losses and opportunity cost, there's really usually very little to nothing lost in buying and owning another tractor, assuming you have space to store it indoors. Or put more simply, I've never sold a tractor for less than the purchase price... ever.

One caveat in that is I'm not buying a new tractor and selling it shortly thereafter. I'd assume you'll lose money there. But if you're keeping things many years, they tend to always resell for nearly the new purchase price, decades later.

My 1986 Deere 855 with loader ran about $8500 new, and I bought it in 2012 for $8500. I re-sold it in 2019 for $8500.

Nice picture Sodamo interesting grass

You’ve done well WinterDeer

Drew buy non ethanol a little more but saves on repairs and downtime

45.2 wind gusts to 17.2 high of 60 feels like 34 presently. .35 in of rain we need a whole lot more not much hope there. Winter may cold and dry just saying

Feeling kinda puny do not know why. Good friends mom has Covid in intensive care, wife has Covid as well. This crap is never going away.

Prayers for all our Country

Good Tractor Morning,

Scott, you need to get a second home where it's warmer all year round..... that way you can keep the pontoon boat in service all year long....

Ted, I can hardly manage taking care of two homes never mind a third Yes a longer season would be nice

well

Well, Thomas I saw the ending and it was ugly We needed that extra point that they failed to get to send the game into OT We were close to winning though

Buppies, I wish they offered E-0 here, but they don't, only a few places now starting.
in NC it was everywhere, wonderful in all my motors.
Ethanol gas is a good reason to have electric motors

Thomas I see you with more than usual cold and snow just saying. The NWS has fallen into the same forecast if ElNino this LaNina that but there are many other variables to consider

Good Tractor Morning,
Vt, 58 to start going to 62. Just started raining a few minutes ago and very gusty now. It looks like some shop time is on the agenda for today.

David, beautiful tractor and mower setup. Nothing like an AC cab. Or if you’re out in the field and it starts to rain. David did you say you’re a HAM operator? I need Hawaii for WAS. Ted, I also need Nevada, even though I have worked Nevada before, if the station I worked doesn’t submit the QSO to LoTW then I can’t get credit for that contact. Just a bit frustrating

Had a nice dinner out with friends last night, but it was a fairly early night, they had worked hard in the afternoon after splitting and stacking wood and after dinner they just wanted to get home.

That’s about it for now, hope all have a good start to their week

 

[Buppies]

Drew I believe you can buy it in five gallon pails at NAPA or like stores

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 44 and going up to 55°F Wind NW 11 gusting to 17 mph. A few showers.

I don't think I have anything to do today, nothing 'pressing' anyway.

Drew, how far is Littlestown, PA from you? Brightners tire has ethanol free gas according to their advertising.

Have a safe day all

That's one looking masterpiece are you going run couple piece angle under for shelf storage?

Using the bottom shelf and two drawers mounted under the table for under the table storage but will mount another metal shelf on the wall above the table as well
