    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    For the last several years going outside was "interesting" with over 2 dozen hummers in dog fights all day long over the feeders but this year the most we have seen is two birds and it has been few and far between the sightings of them.

    Use whatever you want, personally if the engine is old and tired then 15w40 would be a good choice but if the engine is reasonably fresh then 10w30. The old Fords are not picky about oil, as long as it shows at least 5 lbs. of pressure it is good to go for MANY years.

    Flap disc on an angle grinder takes very little time and unless you get stupid with it no heat build up.

    Buttercups, what to spot spray?

    When we had horses fighting buttercups was an on going, never ending battle. Our pasture was divided into 3 sections that the horses were rotated though, usually a month on each. As soon as they were moved into a new section the old one was sprayed with 2-4d and then allowed to set until it was...

    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    Our numbers seem low or else I just have not seen them. So far only two when in the past it has been two dozen plus easily.

    I Won't Operate My Equipment in Wet Weather

    Same here, rain = drive the old truck. The CR-V has never seen rain while the Tundra has been in rain, some, but when your traveling with a camper it is hard to avoid it. The Tundra has not been in any rain since selling the camper. Only using the CR-V and Tundra in good weather means they...

    Dogs.

    Our last three dogs (two were rescue) have done this, with the current one almost to the point of correcting our spelling. :LOL: She knows more words than you would think possible and her internal clock is unbelievable. Just wish she did not shed so much. I swear she leaves more glitter (hair)...

    I got last load of horse hay bales today.

    Do not forget bean hay, nasty, dusty, HEAVY. Would itch for a week after putting any up. As for the daughters, oh yes! Married one, 55 years now and I still praise her for her mental lapse when she said yes.

    I got last load of horse hay bales today.

    I would like to have known where to find them when we needed them. Cannot find any younger guys or gals willing to do that kind of work

    Robot mowers

    Let us know what you hear back from them, I might consider going this route as well but the video I watched looked like the cut was not that good and a lot of back and forth over the same area.

    I got last load of horse hay bales today.

    I miss having horses but I DO NOT miss having to haul and put up hay. Nope don't miss it at all, started working hay at age 13 and at 72 I'm glad to be done with it. Finding good hay was getting more difficult, so much junk and weeds being sold for "Quality" hay that at the end we were having to...

    Robot mowers

    My question is how well or do they, deal with mole runs, exposed tree roots, lawns that are really marginally better than pasture in some places. I would truly like to have something to keep around the house cut so I could only have the big open areas to contend with.
