Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 61° heading to a high of 83°. Sunny and clear for the foreseeable future. Whirlwind of a work week this week. I'm so ready for the vacation next Friday. Will be nice to sit in an airplane and do nothing for 24hours straight. Picked up a larger...

Tell her not to feel too bad. Same thing happened to me a while back. While I was lucky enough to not have the bungee action happen to the hoses on the grapple, it did loosen the U-bolt holding the 3d function outlets on the tractor side. Make sure those are on tight when you go to re-attach or...

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 61° heading to a high of 74°, sunny and clear. This morning when I left the house it was in the 40s. Could just barely see my breath in the shadows. A good weekend, got to see the firewood buddy and his wife on Saturday. They have a new pool table...

Huh, I never knew that! To me it was always just treated hardwood mulch. I thought we called it tanbark because the chips were lightly tanned after the treatment process. I assume the treatment was to help it break down faster and prevent fungus growing on it. Learn something new everyday.

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 64° heading to a high of 86° sunny and clear. We had a grand total of two downpours for maybe 5 minutes a piece, probably a total of half an inch of rain. We needed it badly. A little tractoring this week spreading some tanbark. We've finally got...

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 68° heading to a high of 78° sunny and clear out here. Weekend went well, a peaceful Saturday and Sunday, Mom is still hacking up a lung from the double whammy gifted to her by her grandson. When she laughs, she wheezes, I've been calling her Muttley...

BEF: We're further south than Mt. Union. We're about 30 minutes away from Newport, PA m7040: Not a bad idea to girdle them with glyphosate, at least that's what Penn State Ag recommends. There are some mature locust trees in that grove that just need a little help to keep them under control...

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 63° heading to a high of 76° cloudy and cool. Maybe some rain later but nothing on the radar. A busy week at work is in the books. Nephew gifted GG a stomach bug, that's on top of the cold he gave her from last time. Kids, they're walking petri...

Stihl 271 Farm Boss for the small stuff 500i for the big stuff Rugged Made 37 ton splitter with a 4 way wedge for the big ones, 6 way for the smaller ones. If they're really gigantic, I just let the standard wedge do it's thing. I've only seen it refuse two pieces, everything else it's cracked...

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 71° heading to a high of 79°. Sunny and clear for the foreseeable future. Nephew's party was well attended, watching him try and shove a whole slice of cake into his mouth was entertaining. He's already enjoying the stuffed bulldozer I got him and...

Good Afternoon to All who Celebrate! Currently 81° going to a high of 83° sunny and clear Busy morning, which is why this post is late. Parents shoved off this morning to go help set up for nephew's first birthday. Great Grandma couldn't shake her cold and bowed out of the trip, so it's just...

Allegedly, the guns of the Missouri are laid in the direction the attack wave came, to signify that the Missouri is watching over the Arizona so that the men within her can rest in peace. "Fair winds and following seas shipmates, we have the watch." An incredible experience to see it, like...

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 68° going to a high of 75° and cloudy. Had several rainstorms pass through last night, a welcome break from the heat. Weekend went well, dog didn't run away. Spent a lot of time with my aunt and grandma up at the cabin. The closer we get to Labor...

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 68° heading to a high of 89° sunny and clear, at least for the foreseeable future. Busier weekend than I anticipated. Getting the tag and title for the trailer took all of 15 minutes...and almost $700.🙃 But it's registered for the next 3 years until...
