Interesting car stories. My sister barrel rolled one about 4-5 years ago. Chevy Malibu I think. On 2 lane country road came around a curve and got on the yellow line and started sliding. Over corrected and rolled about 3 times. She learned to drive on that road, so she knew it and had slowed for...

32 this morning and headed to 61 today. Currently 53. Birds showed up early this morning and I'm just now getting to post. I'm changing water meters and going digital in all barns. Then it's take care of birds and clean the control rooms. Need to go get a battery for the old IH and the four...

61 this morning and headed to 67 today. Rain moving in after lunch. Well feed is down and heaters are on. Birds arrive tomorrow morning. All 4 barns. Need to service the big generator before the rain gets here. Then install new water meters in 3 barns. Going to a digital water meter changed...

45 this morning and headed to 67 today. Well helper was a no call no show. Figures. Wife finally getting to see her oldest nephew's true colors. So now I'm a day behind from saving something for him to do. Heaters have to come on today. So I have 4 houses of feed to pack and feedlines to run...

Yep. It'll be a different species or sub species. But same animal.

Drew. Looks like a crayfish mound.

31 this morning and headed to 50 today. Have to get houses ready for birds. Will take all day. If helper arrives early enough I might get the generator serviced. If not it'll wait till tomorrow. Rain Monday so need to mow sometime.

Kyle. I passed that article on to the wife after reading it. There are several more articles out there about the same thing. Seems like there is some research to back it up so its not sounding like a joy juice to me. I use to do research on joy juices. A joy juice won't show consistent results...

40 this morning and headed to 54 today. Freeze Warning for tonight. Got back home last night. Boy enjoyed the aquarium but too many people for him. I ended up packing him through the whole thing. At the petting tanks he wanted to play in the water. At the Otter tank he watched the water fall...

45 this morning and headed to 46 today with rain here in Wilder, KY. Drove up almost to Newport, KY last night. We're less than 10 miles away. Taking the boy to the Newport Aquarium since the wife is on spring break. Then back home today. But first must take the boy swimming since he's done...

49 this morning and headed to 67 today. Rain starts about noon. Have a tractor to unload. After dark when I got home and a bad battery. But first I think I'm going to try and beat the rain. By getting some fertilizer on the pastures. Litter for hay ground and Urea for pastures this year...

Good afternoon guys. Couldn't get on this morning and am just sitting down for today. 34 this morning and made it to 63 today. Currently 60. Guy that was hauling liter yesterday was back today. He asked this morning if I knew anybody who wanted any. Try not to haul it 40 miles back home. Found...

56 this morning and headed to 70 today. Well it might get warmer than that as its already 69. Just getting up and going. As I spent most of the night sick to my stomach. Feeling better now but am sore. Will be washing trays and waiting on spreader truck. I called them this morning and they had...

31 this morning and headed to 66 today. Well mowing didn't get done yesterday. It was so windy it wouldn't have done any good to pickup the yard. Did get the Massey out and took the loader off it, a quick rinse with garden hose and then a service. Servicing that old tractor ain't bad. It's an...

Thanks Kyle. If he'd only talk we wouldn't have many concerns and we wouldn't be looking for answers. Once you have his attention he understands you. But there is no communication back. Not to mention he's a hard headed and stubborn little boy. He gets frustrated because of the length of time it...

Your welcome. laughing. I will weed around the house but I only feed where there is ROI. Another words pasture and hay ground. I never fertilize if it's going to increase the frequency of mowing. I'm happy with once every two weeks. And during the summer once a month. If we get rain seems I'm...

Cold preserves germination. It slows the metabolism of the seed and they don't use up all their food reserves waiting to be planted. When I worked farm supply they owned their own seed line and use to ship corn, soybeans and wheat up into Wisconsin and northern Iowa area because there are big...

Kyle very nice drawing your daughter does. Blue also on.

Couple of articles for control of winter weeds. Purdue Turf Tips: Weed of the Month for April 213 is Purple Deadnettle Purple Deadnettle & Henbit Control in Lawns : Extension : Clemson University : South Carolina And one to make TxDon happy. Purple dead nettle is edible. A member of the...

Pictures help. But then I'm guessing it'll be yellow nutsedge. Here's an article on it. https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/ay/ay-19-w.pdf There's some herbicide recommendations in there also.

39 this morning and headed to 61 today. High wind advisory out for today and a freeze watch out for tonight. Forecast low of 34. Need to pickup yard and mow. But we have a birthday party for a nephew and the wife is talking about taking the boy to the Newport Aquarium. If so we'll leave...

Pramitol is a ground sterilizer. It's water activated and will move across the ground until it's put in the ground. So yes you must becareful with it.

What kind of nutsedge?

I have an 84"Land Pride on a MX5200 Kubota. Really like it as it greatly speeds up mowing over the 60" Dixie Chopper. I use the tractor for the large open areas then go get the ZTR and now around obstacles and the house where things are too tight for the tractor.

48 this morning and headed to 67 today. 1.25 inches of rain yesterday. Some wind damage next county over. From the pictures looks like straight line winds. NWS will inspect today to confirm. I have the boy again today. He has the rash stage of hand foot and mouth. So he's on the way of getting...

Bet you have purple deadnettle also. It grows along with the Henbit and chickweed. I here you on the lawn. Once you get grass growing increase your cut height to 3" or more. It'll let the grass out compete some of the weeds. Of the winter weeds the purple deadnettle is the worst one. They are...

58 this morning and headed to 75 today. 1.1 inches of rain overnight lots of lightning and thunder too. Another inch is predicted for today. I'm off again today. Taking care of boy. He's had a rash develop on his hand and foot. So back to the doctor this morning.

Applying 2,4d will effect the germination of grasses. For the time period that was specified earlier. So don't spray 2,4d over new grass seed. For best control of the Henbit spray in very early spring or late fall. Then sow grass seed once it's safe to do so.

Yes it will. But he didn't ask to kill grass. Besides glyphosate and 2,4d make a great tank mix. Although diquat and gramoxone will also kill it. They both are desiccants. They will burn off the tops within hours not days. Especially gramoxone. Also non selective herbicides. But more drift...

The purple flower is Henbit. The blue I believe is a Speedwell. I'm not familiar with the Speedwell. But looks like it's a perennial. The Henbit is a winter annual. Very easy to kill. Needs to be sprayed pretty quickly as it's going to seed. Heavy seed population all over US. Major weed in a...

There is a little joke those of us in the agronomy community tell new comers when asked if a chemical is safe. It'll make your kids be born naked. Mine was. With that out of the way. Wear your PPE. Follow label directions. Wash laundry separately. Wash hands before using bathroom or eating...

43 this morning and headed to 75 today. Rain on its way tomorrow need to get caught up from a day off work yesterday. Back to the chicken coops today. MFW glad everything is going well. Nice pics.

The rule of thumb is to wait one week per quart/acre of 2,4d before planting. So 1qt/acre=1week wait. But your ppi (pre planting intervals) will be on the label. 2,4d is a selective herbicide for broadleaf plants. It struggles with woody stems but will work at higher rates. Once above 80* be...

44 this morning and headed to 63. Plans for today got changed yesterday afternoon when the daycare called to say the boy had a 102.1 temperature at 3pm. So a quick run to the doctor and they're calling it the croop. So another words it's viral and will just need to run its course. Steroid...

43 this morning and headed to 60 today. .75 inches of rain overnight. Had a couple of tornado warnings just SW of here NWS reported damage also. The warning for us was the first Severe Thunderstorm warning for the storm after the rotation let up. We had already left the DW headed to mom and dads...

53 this morning and headed to 74 today. Thunderstorms this afternoon. Managed to get the chicken coops decrusted and the barn stall cleaned out. It's going to be interesting trying to get the herd in the barn stalls this time. The herd has grown 66% since the last time I worked them. I'm...

What kind of cattle guard do you use? Concrete or steel?

32 this morning and headed to 70 today. Frost advisory for this morning haven't looked outside yet. Need to finish decrusting I'm about 85% done. So shouldn't take more than ~3 hours. Then need to clean out a barn stall and get things ready to work cows. Just a quick pregnancy check tomorrow...

That's no good. Hopefully you still have power and keep it. Reminds me of the January 2009 ice storm here. 2.5 inches of ice. People without power for close to 40 days.

39 this morning and headed to 59 today. Need to go mail some papers. If the post office is open. Then go see about how they want me to fill out this jury duty paperwork. I doubt they want to stop a trial just because the chickens call. As I have nobody else that can respond. Then back to do...

Kyle. I did the same thing with a dog. 45 lbs Of Australian Shepard. He was on the table and fine until the vet helper walks in and grabs his hind legs without introducing herself to him. He went ape shlt. I clamped his mouth shut and squeezed him out. We moved the scales/exam table 3 feet off...

Drew. Nice trailer. Roy. Get better.

I believe he's in Ohio at Wagon driving school. Or something like that.

64 this morning and headed to 65 today. Rain will be here before 10. I'm going to head to the chicken coops and see what I can get decrusted before I get rained out. Then it's take the wife to the doctor. It's ultrasound day!! Already had one private ultrasound, this is the one with the doctor...

Buckeye wish your dad happy birthday from us.

57 this morning and headed to 69 today. Still no luck on finding that dam mouse. Smell is getting better but wife still not able to use laundry room. Back door propped open again today. Finish washing insides of chicken coops and then start decrusting. Have to quit early as it's the MIL's...

41 this morning and headed to 67 today. Winds of 20-30 mph. Gusts over 40. Drew you might want to stay ahead of these winds. Have a mouse that decided to die in our laundry room. Wife can't go in there currently. So I need to find that today as well as open some windows and get the smell out...

I'd guess $700-800. Don.

36 this morning and headed to 56 today. Light frost this morning also. Need to check and see how wet the ground is. Don't think our rain accounted for much. Except for some large snow flakes yesterday. If not too wet I'll finish my seeding project. That like Eric is taking a lot longer than it...

42 this morning and headed to 48 today. It's already rained once and more on the way. Snow may mix in is how the forecast reads. Had a lazy day yesterday. May do it again today. We'll see.

41 this morning and headed to 50 today. No rain so far. Haven't decided what to do today. If this rain continues to hold off I may go finish my seeding project. Otherwise it's off to the chicken coops with the washer.

The new tanks only have lift eyes rated for empty loads.

35 this morning and headed to 67 today. It was just trying to frost this morning. Grass had a shimmer to it but cars weren't crusted over. Sure that will change this weekend. Need to do some experiments today. Find out how high my loader will stack hay so I can figure out this hay tarp...

How are you guys storing your hay? Currently mine just sits outside unprotected but I'm looking into getting some tarps and covering some of it. Might take a couple of years to get it all covered. I only string tie, no net wrap option.

43 this morning and headed to 67 today. Snows out of forecast for the weekend. Currently it's just supposed to be rain. Last half of birds leave tonight. Am going to try to get the two barns from yesterday washed down and go get the decruster. That way everything is here. Then maybe tomorrow...

54 this morning and headed to 66. Ground is still too wet to do much but drying quickly. But that's good as half my birds leave today. Roads are dry and hard to that's good for trucks. Eric. Our Jack Russell isn't full blooded either and he's a house dog. But like yours a large bark. He's...

52 this morning and headed to 81 today. Ground should firm up quickly today. Plans for today are to replace a winch in chicken coops. The old one is broke and I'll need it Thursday. Just hoping that it won't be too difficult. Then to town for some protein tubs for the cows. Eric. Hope dog is...

57 this morning and headed to 69 today before the storms come in. Already had one round another due in early afternoon. Not much on list for today and after yesterday I need an easy day. I'm still feeling it. Have a preschool meeting with the staff of where our son will be enrolled this fall.

61 this morning and headed to 70 today. Rain showers this morning and then again this afternoon. Will be a walk chickens and feed cows day for sure.

Well my day got interesting really fast. Took the wife and boy to Pizza Hut for lunch and then went for about a 2 hour drive. Try to come home and this mobile home is sitting in the ditch. So I come in the back way. Am home 5 minutes and a knock on the door. Can you bring your dozer down and...

61 this morning and headed to 70 today. Rain off and on all day. Think I'll spend the day with the wife and son. May get out and do some driving just drive around and look.

51 this morning and headed to 65 today. Cloudy today then rain back in forecast for the weekend. Need to run some errands today and might get back to some maintenance in the chicken coops. Then when wife gets off work it's to the funeral home for a family friend. He's really had a hard road...

61 this morning and headed to 64 today. Well the moisture train from the gulf has arrived and is on full throttle. Stationary front to the west along with flash flood warnings. Forecast for today is 2.30". Had .18" fall yesterday and last night. Have some repairs to make in the chicken coops...

Another vote for Slime. If it's an off road tire and starts to leak. I Slime it. Only had this fail once. The belts started breaking on my mower tires(atv type). A hole about the size of a pencil was just too much for the slime. Time for new tires.

64 this morning and headed to 73 today. Rain on its way. Plans for today. Ummmmm. Let's see how much rain I get. But do have birds to take care of and of course check on cows.

56 this morning and headed to 73 today. Was too windy yesterday to sow seed. Looks like today is going to be just as bad. I started the last field of my fall bushhoging yesterday. Only have about an hour left and I'll be done. The Kubota doesn't even know that 7' Bush Hog is back there. The...

Growing up there was 3 grocery stores in about 2 miles. One had the best prices on most items so we shopped there and it was beside Walmart so we'd walk over for the non grocery items needed. Another grocery had the best selection of meat with the better prices so we'd stop there. The third...

My BIL shared a neat little bit of information on the Dollar General stores. He studied them in business school. Their business model is to market towards single mothers. So they get the latest census data and that's how they choose where to build their stores. Always found that interesting.

Drew. Here's an example of the beef market system. The cow calf producer sells at 500lbs and gets $1.60/pound. The stocker then sells at 800lbs and gets $1.40/pound. The feedlot then sells at 1350lbs and gets $1.20/pound. Then the packer sells to the supermarket and then to you. You pay $4/...

56 this morning and headed to 68 today. I had planned on sowing some grass seed today but it's awfully windy to be using a broadcast cone spreader. I do have one field I never got bush hogged last fall. So I may go do that instead. If the wind dies I'll work on the seeding. Drew. I also...

RNG. Well let's see each one has a collar and a leash. Then when I walk in they line up. I've also got some ocean front property here as well. (That's the answer I give everyone that ask). :). Reality is I just walk through them.

A chilly 28 this morning and headed to 66 today. Heavy frost. Although our frost free date is in April it had been a while since we had one. Got a bunch of air out of the fuel system yesterday. I'm thinking that was the hard start problem. We'll see how it is today. I put out hay and moved...

36 this morning and headed to 55 today. We never made it above 42 yesterday and today's high has already been revised down. Light rain showers moving through. Went yesterday to a local farm store and got some new pasture seed. 450 pounds. Then back home to unload it. Tractor cranked forever...

Drew. Don't know. I've never raised chickens with antibiotics. Our losses usually stay between 2-4%. We have the option to use antibiotics but it takes a veterinarian prescription and a lot of paperwork. Plus the plant has to run that farm separate from the rest. Antibiotics with us are a big...

39 this morning and headed to 50 today. Clouding the morning and sun this afternoon. Well I have the tractor back home. It's a nice run and a good workout for the truck up to the dealer. About 50 miles. Just over an hour loaded and all 2 lane state highway. Got almost to the dealer yesterday...

39 this morning and headed to 44 today. Radar is showing a wintery mix for us although it seems to all be rain currently. Nothing real heavy but some showers off and on till lunch. Back to the Kubota dealer to pickup tractor. It was first on their list this morning so should be done by lunch...

29 this morning and headed to 45 today. Few flurries around. Nothing heavy. Rain forecast for in the morning. I'll get the Kubota out today and load it up for a ride to the dealer. 50 hour service and a leaking remote. Well first it needs to be hosed off. Then back for some maintenance in the...

49 this morning and headed to 59 today. Storms a coming and some could be severe. Need to get scaffolding off the gooseneck so it's ready to move tractor. Thinking about trying to take it after the storms. Then circle back through the city and drop off soil samples. If I drop off today the...

Interesting. Never heard of that. Maybe your friend is on to something.

Does it work on the high setting? If so, Make sure the LED bulbs you bought are dimmable.

41 this morning and headed to 60 today. Nice sunny day and rain expected tomorrow. Can't find my soil sample bags so I guess I'm off to town to get more after I get through the birds. Doesn't look like we got a lot of rain last night so I'm going to spend the day soil sampling. Will have about...

48 this morning and headed to 67 today. High wind advisory out. 30-40mph gusts. Need to get the hardware stripped off the power poles the power company left me and start cutting them up. They are going into a holding and feeding pin redesign I'm planning for this summer. Have 5 poles 4 of...

Had a nice day to get caught up on some stuff. Feeds unloaded and creep feeder is full. Bull is separated from cows for the year, I hope. Now wait about 6 weeks and preg check. Blood draw from the tail. Freezer is emptied and airing out. I can still smell that stuff. Hair cut was gotten for me...

36 this morning and headed to 59 today. Nice sunny day. Got my feed yesterday but spent too much time moving gravel so not unloaded. I just packed a bag to the barn to feed. I think the road will hold me today. It's still soft after the rock. This is making that bulk feed bin more attractive...

32 this morning and headed to 45 today. Go pickup taxes and get some feed for cows. As that didn't happen yesterday. Daycare called on my way to get feed and son was having a fit. A painful crying fit. After talking to them and finding out what was going on, I took him home. Best we can tell...

Oh I got in trouble last summer on our visit to Florida. My wife asked what was in all the trees. I said something about that's what's left after the water recedes. We don't need to stay around here, water gets too high. She was buying it until she noticed it was above the power lines. I tried...

36 this morning and headed to 40 today. Looks like a chance of afternoon showers. Need to go pickup taxes and go get feed today. But after the long hydrant move my road to the barn is mush. So gravel will have to be spread because even my 4x4 with a ton of feed for weight hates anything much...

Sounds like a lot of rough weather out east. Rain changed to snow here. Now back to rain. Stay safe all. Drew sent you a pm.

RS. I bought a box of these the other day. Am very impressed with how bright they are. If you need some added lights where you don't have power. They'd be a good short term option. Sam's Club

RNG. I'd hate to try and sell something from across the country. But if I had to then I'd want to know some people in the area and get recommendations from them. Not necessarily neighbors. But same county. Ask them to show you comps. Houses that are similar and have sold recently. You can then...

49 this morning and headed to 31 today. 1.5 inches of rain over night. Up to 2" of snow forecast. Plans for today are to take care of birds and then get oil changed in truck. Get tractor ready to go back to dealer. In need of the 50 hour service and have a hydraulic leak for them to look at on...

36 this morning and headed to 60 today before the rain moves in. Found the elusive waterline yesterday. Just didn't have time to finish digging it up before the boys doctors appointment. The good news is his tonsils aren't infected currently. The bad is if he gets one more round of strep he'll...

40 this morning and headed to 55 today. Weatherman this morning said for February 20, 2015 we set a record low of -7, and for February 20, 2016 we set a record high of 75. What a difference a year can make. 82 degrees. Have some maintenance to do in the chicken coops today. Hopefully I can get...

60 this morning and headed to 63 today. Then to 39 tonight. .16 inches of rain so far today. Buppies what about this system I'm hearing about for the middle of the week? Take care of chickens today and rest. Although the wife wants to go grocery shopping. Ended up at doctor yesterday as my...

48 this morning and headed to 72 today. Currently 71. Taxes went well. About what I expected but a little worst than I'd hoped for. Still don't know what I'll get into today. Not feeling real well so may just take it easy and enjoy the sun shine. RS. Stay safe and continue. I've turned away...

I use bins similar to this. They can get saggy hanging on the wall from the weight of bolts. So I screwed a 2x4 to the wall studs. Then sat these on the 2x4. And secured. They sag a little but not enough to bother the function. They can be labeled and then are also removable if I need too.

Have narrowed down some shopping for a v-rake. A Vermeer wr1022 or a Kuhn sr110. Both are 10 wheel high clearance style folding rakes with center kicker wheels. Our baler seems to prefer all the hay raked. It pickups better. Prices are within $100 of each other. I like some of the adjustments on...

David. Mower is doing a nice job. Drew. Take it easy on those ditches. Rock sounds nice. I have one 300 gallon tank that I pull about 50 gallons a year out of. Haven't changed it in 6 years but have it topped off at half full. Thank I'll suck it out this year and add fresh fuel. After all it...

Drew. My tanks are all rust brown. They all came to me used one had some silver on it but rust was almost 80 then to. But corporate trucks and tanks and most anything is white for one reason. White just doesn't show dirt as bad as most colors. Silver hides it pretty good also.

53 this morning and headed to 65 today. Very windy today out of the south at 20-25. Should do some drying today. Took wife to the doctor yesterday everything is good with baby. Stopped and had a private ultrasound done and it's another boy. Wife was a little disappointed. As there are no...

29 this morning and headed to 53 today. There is an orange object in the sky. Thinking the Air Force needs to investigate what it is. Weatherman was even excited this morning he made a comment about it being the first sunrise in 10 days. Off to take care of chickens then Hopefully finish taxes...

32 this morning and headed to 40 today. Never made it above 35 yesterday. Rain, snow, rain, snow, then heavy snow. Just under 2" additional accumulated. County to the north had a bus slide off trying to get kids home yesterday afternoon, no injuries. County to the west called parents and told...

See I'm so he opposite. I can deal with the cold. Matter of fact I breathe better in the cold. If only I could find a place that never gets over 90, 85 would be better and no humidity. But wife has told me I can live anywhere I want, in this county. I've always wanted to go to Montana. But am...

35 this morning and headed to 38. A mix of rain and snow will be here by lunch. The local weatherman says temps at 5000 feet are cold enough for snow even though we are above freezing. It'll just help to keep the road clear. Very dense fog last night and this morning. Plans for today are to...

Sorry to report I couldn't find an LS. Closest dealer that would talk to me was over 4 hours away. He had one on lot but I couldn't get away. Plus his prices were several thousand higher than the original dealer. He was pricing above a Kubota and couldn't get a finish mower. I ended up going...

Stress=Fear=adrenalin=increased heart rate=increased blood flow. Then the blood is absorbed into the meat. Along with the adrenalin and other chemicals. Here's an excerpt from this link. Meat's flavour is dependent on many things - the way the animal was fed, the way it was raised, the fat...

31 this morning and headed to 41 today. Currently 33. Rain and freezing rain all stayed south of us. All we got was snow. Been up since 4am when chickens called. Couldn't go back to sleep. Will be bad day can already feel it. Plans for today are taxes. Appointment is Friday. Oh I hate bookkeeping.

Drew. The hydrant I dug up last week was a frost free. It has froze more than once. But I think it has been leaking and draining away for a while now. 5.5-6 inches of snow today. Still snowing some. Had to feed hay and didn't get it done before the snow got here. Here's some pics. Like this...

Spent about 2.5 hours on the Kubota today. In 23* weather and snow. About an hour and half was plowing the 5.5-6 inches. I plow out to the state highway, about a mile, but I did both ends of the loop today. I'm about halfway and my farm uses both ends. Also stopped and did a few drives, 3 of...

20 this morning and headed to 32 today. Wind chill of 13. We've been upgraded to a winter storm warning. 3-5 inches forecast. Already have a dusting and more is about 2 hours away. Looks like I'll have just enough time to get the hay out to the cows and get the blade on. Debating on which...

Trying to help a friend put his bale monitor in his new tractor. It's a Vermeer monitor and a LS 7040 cabbed tractor. He wants to put it on the right hand door rail. He came up with an idea of welding a custom bracket to some black pipe that's the same outside diameter as the hand rail. Then...

23 currently wind chill of 18. Winter weather advisory out. Larro. I know what you mean. I stopped watching nascar every weekend back in '01. When Dale was killed I tried following JR. but just lost interest. Racing wasn't the same. Now I'll listen on the radio if I'm in the car, or I'll watch...

15 this morning and headed to 25 today. Wind chill currently 3. Snow in forecast for tomorrow of 2-4 inches. Have a birthday party to go to. Cousins son's first birthday. Then back to put out hay. Guess I better get going as I have two barns to migrate before I leave. Drew. Nice snow...

I'm wanting a chuck wagon and then a oh I guess a farmers wagon. I'd love to find an old Owensboro Wagon Company wagon. They were built about 30 minutes from here. Mine would just be for decoration as I don't employ horses. Any anything that stays here earns their keep. :).

27 this morning and headed to 36 today. Had a clipper come through and drop about a half inch of snow. Roads are slick as our salt trucks operate daylight hours only for safety. So no school today. Means the wife's home again and the kids don't get the valentines party. Oops. Have two houses...

25 this morning and headed to 34 today. Check chickens and heat the next chamber in 2 barns. Then back to the taxes. Anybody use PayPal to accept payments? If not what do you use when selling stuff online?

Happy anniversary Kev. Goats kid in faul weather for the same reasons Cows calf and humans have babies in faul weather. It has to do with the barometer. Or at least that's the only reason I can give it. Had a cousin and a friend both have babies within 24 hours last February. Both of them...

16 this morning and headed to 26 today. Chance of snow comes back into the forecast tonight up to another inch. Schools are out again today. The side roads in the northern part of the county were still bad last night. School system is either open or closed here. Superintendent refuses to do a...

20 this morning and headed to 28 today. About 2 inches of snow over night. Wife and boy are home today. Forecasts of another inch by tomorrow afternoon. Weatherman says this low has lost the jet stream and won't be moving anywhere fast. Chores in the chicken coops this morning. Then off to the...

44 at midnight, 36 now, 19 tonight. Rain changing to snow today. 1-2 inches possible. Who invited winter back? Think that groundhog was wrong, who wants stew?:). Take son to doctor today. Then see what else I can do before it gets to wet and cold. Only seen last 5 minutes of the game...

32 this morning and headed to 56. Currently 53. Watching the boy today. Wife is going into school to do her weekly lesson plans. Boys not feeling good. Will probably have him at doctor tomorrow. Didn't get to building yesterday. I had a water hydrant leaking and well I decided to dig it up...

Thanks guys. The room is already wallpapered. It's applied directly to the drywall when they make the drywall. Mobile home. I'll be covering it up with a new layer of drywall. Exterior walls will get a layer of foam board insulation. Just like our sons room did. New flooring as the carpet will...

31 this morning and headed to 54 today. Think after I get birds walked I'll go work on building today. Really do need to get that finished up. Wife is adding more large projects to my to do list. One of which includes a new baby room. Before August. Nice trains. Get a couple of tractors on...

Best way to remove wallpaper I've found is to cover it with another layer of drywall or to remove the drywall and reinstall. Probably not the answer you are looking for. I have been known to paint directly over it. Especially when it's in a mobile home.

Welcome mkr. Yea I'm not allowed on the front porch either. Best wishes to bird.

25 this morning and headed to 50 today. Last half of birds arrive this morning. Never did get to start taxes yesterday. Maybe today. I dred taxes.

Drew. If you're not finding a puller that will work for you. After getting picture to load your wheel won't accept a steering wheel puller. Make you a slide hammer. You need a small piece of flat bar. Bent to reach under wheel with a cut out to go round the shaft. A round rod welded to the...

Drew. PB Blaster or Arokroil. Best bet is a steering wheel puller. Also a second set of hands and eyes are helpful.

32 this morning and headed to 39 today. Mostly sunny. Getting half my birds today. Then inside to start taxes. Yaay. Must be filed by March 1. Also need to get ahold of dealer and see what they charge for a 50 hour service. Or if I'll just do it myself. Tractor already has 65 hours on it.

48 this morning and headed to 51 today. 2.52 inches of rain yesterday afternoon and last night. Sunny but cooler this week. Have a heater to repair today. Then one house of feedlines to run. Then need to run to a small farm supply on other end of county. Supposed to have the best protein tubs...

RS. Nice fish load. And I sure didn't realize that your filter setup was that extensive. Can definitely tell it's not your first rodeo. Plants look good for such thin "soil". Are you just going to let the fish feed them or do you add water soluble?

RS. Do you have any soil/media for the plants? Or just rocks? Any currents for the fish or just still water?

Drew. What was his thinking of running over an uncovered tile? Oh I see he wasn't. I agree tile would be coming off haul bill.

48 this morning and headed to 71 today. Strong to severe storms expected this afternoon and evening. Well some of my feed showed up yesterday, so I get to put it down today. Doctors visit went good but wife was unhappy she talked about allergy shots. Mom had a bad reaction to some about 15...

43 this morning and headed to 57 today. A tenth of a inch of rain last night. Have to go see allergy doctor this morning. First visit. I've been having problems with congestion and ear and sinus infections. Then back and hope I have feed to put down so I can start preheating tomorrow...

59 this morning and headed to 63 today. Cloudy and small chance of rain today. Sure looks like the Midwest and the Great Lakes region could get their fill of snow this week. Oh as for today's plans. Don't really know yet. Laughing. :). But do need to get somethings together for the rest of...

37 this morning and made it to 67 today. Chicken coops are ready for feed which I don't have any of currently. Hopefully it will be here by Monday. Made a run to the Honda dealer today as I broke a hand brake lever yesterday. Needed some oil and filters anyways. Washed the shutters on the...

26 this morning and headed to 46 today. Warm up starts tomorrow. Back to the chicken coops today. I know broken record. SSDD. Eric. I don't usually wait the 3 days. Is that the key? I'll spray some pb or krol oil and go eat lunch. Come back and if it doesn't give I get a longer lever or a...

Your old one also has the key way. I'm going to say the shaft has a half moon key in it. Could be wrong but no key coming out it the bolt. The old ones no good so if a bearing puller won't get it, I'd just cut it off and roll on. Applying some heat to the steering arm but no letting the shaft...

29 this morning and headed to 50 today. Still quite a bit of snow hanging around. But with temperatures pushing 60 this weekend it won't hang around much longer. Going over to help a friend this morning load sheep. He's getting out of the sheep business for the time being. Said he's going to...

31 this morning and headed to 38 today. Going to put out hay before the ground thaws back out. Then off to dads to get the stock trailer. Have sheep to haul tomorrow. I think. Helping a friend get out of the sheep business. Then back to work on chicken coops today. Roy did they eliminate a...

29 this morning and headed to 48 today. Should be a good snow melt day. Rain coming in sometime between lunch and dark. Back to the chicken coops today. Crusted one more house yesterday and then quit to take son to my parents to play in the snow. Well he went to sleep before my sister got...

Try "Flow actuated switch". See if that gives you the results your looking for.

3 this morning and headed to 37 today. Currently 24. Should be good for the melt and the creation of mud. Almost 60 forecast for next weekend. What a roller coaster. Back to the chicken coops today. Just trying to let it get closer to freezing before I start. So maybe I don't freeze any water...

Spent about 2 1/2 hours plowing. Got lucky county beat me to the road. Which is fine with me. I still dropped the blade on the way to the landlords. They tend to do that every couple of years. Laughing. :). Saved me about an hour. Then about another 3 1/2 hours crusting chicken coops. Only two...

Just seen the news. I-75 southbound in Kentucky is reported to be backed up 35 miles. Because of the snow. People on the road for more than 12 hours.

21 this morning and headed to 30 today. Snows over and my best measurements show 8-9 inches. A lot of wind so hard to measure. Plans for today are to plow out and then get back to the chicken coops. I didn't even try to work down there yesterday. It's best to stay home in this weather unless...

27 headed to 29 today. Snow, snow and snow is forecast for today. 8-16 inches. Schools been out since Wednesday. Wife only worked 1 day this week. Monday was holiday and then snow days. Plans for today are to stay inside although if the snow lets up I may go plow the road. I plow our county...

24 this morning and headed to 37 today. Forecast keeps looking worse and worse. Current winter storm warning is for a quarter inch of ice and 10-14 inches of snow. Plans for today are to see how much crusting I can get done before wife's doctors appointment. Then prep for snow. Grader blade...

23 this morning and headed to 32 today. Had about 3-4" of snow over night. Plans for the day are plow snow. Then work in the chicken coops. First I have some work to do on the new tractor. The PTO guard is so tight around the PTO shaft that the pump to the cruster won't fit. So that has to...

Happy birthday Larro. Doubt he'd write that script. Even if he did I mentioned a cab tractor so the boy would have a seat and I got a bad look. You think she'd let me get one just for my health.

6 this morning and headed to 28 today. Winter Storm Watch for us. NWS says 2-4" locally 4-6". Our local weather guy won't even talk about Thursday night and Friday's storm. He just says it's coming and we're going to take it one storm at a time. Wife was on FB yesterday and some had shared...

15 this morning and headed to 29 here in Gatlinburg. Home is 9 and headed to 20. Would be nice to stay in the mountains a couple more days. But the wife has to work tomorrow. So will be heading home here in a bit. Drew. I've heard of the concrete bags but I always used 12" limestone rip rap...

31 this morning and headed to 39 today here in the GSM. A dusting of snow overnight really changed the view. But at 2200 ft. Good it's only a dusting. We used to get culvert tile in 3ft lengths made out of concrete. Just but them up and make any length culvert you want.

31 this morning and headed to 39 here in GSM. A light dusting of snow fell over night and really changed the view. But then I am at 2200 ft. Off to do some sightseeing. Wonder how much of the park is closed. Will have to stop and see.

40 this morning and headed to 44 her in Gatlinburg TN. Arrived early this morning after a late start. Some serious fog on the way in. Eric. I'm sure you can stick around. We need a resident pond and alien expert.

Congrats buppies and the Mrs.

47 this morning and headed to 49 today. Finish up at the chicken coops today. Then get ready for our long weekend. First a doctor appointment this morning. Drew. Tile=that thing you're putting in that ditch. Must be a regional name. The gravel around the walls will provide more support for...

Drew. Good job on the grading. What's with the 6x6's at the tile? Around here that would just let the tile wash out. As the gravel couldn't seal around pipe and lock into the corrugations. I like my tile bedded into lime or a packing sand. But around here we use lime.

37 this morning and headed to 56 today. Nice sunny day but means ground will thaw. That means parking lot will be muddy tonight. Last night was nice as it was frozen. Two barns gone and two to go. Get them started getting ready then go get wife's vehicle and have tires rotated. I took it to a...

Yes it does but it fold too tall. I have 6 feet of clearance fold is like 6' 6". But does unbolt between the fenders. So I don't have to take it off down to the axles. One reason I chose this model. Plan is to remove with an easy system ie. The ropes. So it can be reinstalled when I'm done in...

10 this morning and headed to 39 today. Half my birds leave tonight. So I'll spend the day getting ready for that. Need to get the rope and pulley system installed sometime so I can take the ROPS off. Won't fit in the chicken coops with it on. Hopefully it's as simple as it looks 4 bolts.

Hey Drew, I just found a new job for you. The poultry farmers lobbyists. Only qualification is to get us that $10/chicken.:). We raise 5-6lb birds. 94,000 birds/flock. So yea. Half a million birds a year. And yep it's cents per pound and very very few at that. Chickens are a very efficient...

We raise about 6 flocks a year. Depends on the calendar sometimes it's only 5. Cows are doing good. Eating hay and any new growth of the wheat. How's your cattle?

36 this morning and headed to 20 today. Alberta clipper is who the weatherman is blaming for his bad forecast. We started off at an inch of snow but now forecast says be lucky to see a flake. As for today. Get oil changed and tires rotated on wife's vehicle. Then get to the Feedmill for some...

Weather station in backyard said 1 during the night. Officially it only got to 10 here last night. Headed to 36 today. Had flurries most of the day yesterday but no more significant accumulation. Weather station and official reports usually run closer than that. For today it's a check chicken...

Don. We have AT&T DSL 2.76 down and .31 up. Their service guys say that's good speed considering we are using wifi.

19 this morning and headed to 25 today. Wind chill of 6 with 1-2 inches of snow on the ground. Also had a half inch of rain yesterday before the snow. Plans for today are to take care of birds and cows and stay warm. Doubt I'll be doing anything major. Not enough snow to try and plow as wind...

48 this morning and headed to 53 today. Rain on the way maybe by lunch. Trying to decide if it's worth the run to the Feedmill for some cow feed. Or if I'll just wait till Monday. Hate trying to unload and beat the rain. Then it's off to dads to help him install a couple of garage door openers.

48 this morning and headed to 57 today. .28 inches of rain overnight. TMA are hopefully walk birds and work on building. Got the track hung yesterday for the sliding door on the shed. Try and get more studs installed. Eric. A Caravan over here is usually used to reference a Dodge mini-van...

28 this morning and headed to 52 today. Tractor is back at dealer this morning. Salesman called yesterday and said the parts for the rear remotes finally made it. So they came and got the tractor. Did get my hay out before they got here. Think I'm going to work on building today. It's going to...

23 this morning and headed to 46 today. Rain moving in later in week. Audit went good yesterday except for the time. Yea I passed with no complaints. Was told you're first stop be ready early. I was ready at 7:30 expecting them here at 8. Keep a double check on everything to make sure nothing...

MFW. Good your back. And sounds like things are going good for you. Don good news.

Kev sent you a PM about it.

22 this morning and headed to 42 today. Yep winter made it. Some flurries around yesterday. Blood has yet to thicken so it's mighty cold. Audit this morning then the stress leaves. After that I think I'll go light a brush pile. Nothing like a good fire to soothe ones sole. Kev. Did you ever...

Eric. I'm going to guess one of these. True Temper 2915300 Cutter Weed 2-Sided Serr Blade (049206633674) [1] Because these would take too long. https://www.etsy.com/listing/115017853/antique-garden-tool-pruning-shears-large Unless you went mechanical. But you wouldn't do that right? Then it's...

30 this morning and headed to 36 today. Snow flurries are off to our east, but still pretty windy. Need to rebait some rodent stations at the chicken coops and then I'll be ready for the audits. Then off to take son to doctor for his post op visit from the tubes. Interesting to see what the...

30 this morning and headed to 44 today. Already 40. Have some cleaning to do at the chicken coops as its audit week. Audit is for our GAP certificate renewal. Don't know what day they'll be here but it'll be easier if all I have to do is sweep control room. Then maybe enough time to install...

27 this morning and headed to 46 today. Nice big frost last night. Really good to see considering its January. Wife needs to go to school today to get things ready for next week. So looks like I'll have the boy for at least part of the day. I made a joke with her last night that me and the boy...

30 this morning and headed to 41 today. Weatherman says if sun doesn't come out today then he'll quit. :). Well ok he really didn't but sometimes I wish he would. Anyways supposed to be sunny today. Back to spreading gravel and then up to dad's to hang his year old garage door openers...

34 this morning and headed to 38 today. Weatherman swears there is this yellowish orange ball in the sky. He keeps calling it a sun and says we might see it today. I'm not holding my breath. Eric. Interesting read on the bridge move. Had never heard of that. Just hate to see all the history of...

Kev. New horse looking good and right at home. Got any pictures of the loader? As my grandfather likes to remind me. That tractor ain't no dozer.

Kyle good job on car. Eric hate to see those old bridges go. What do they replace them with? Flood waters are nothing to mess with.

Currently 42 and cloudy. High of 47 but no sun for a couple more days. TMA today is doing some cleanup at chicken coops and then trying to locate a trailer. I'm looking for a 6' 4" or wider 12' tilt or lay flat ramp trailer. The closest discount place doesn't have any so I guess I'll need to...

43 this morning and headed to 52 today. Definitely a change in weather. Oh well I guess it's about time. Finish repairs that got started yesterday in chicken coops. Then try to locate a 12 foot tilt trailer.

49 this morning and headed to 69 today. Last of the warm days but it comes with wet weather. .88 inches overnight and another.8 forecast for today. Monthly total is over 6.5 inches. Have a couple of repairs to make from the weekend. Then try and fix this water leak permanently. Cows need hay...

Currently 61. High was 64. Front coming through although rain is just on door steps over another 1" forecast. Had .9 overnight. Need to make a run to lowes today have a leaky wall at chicken coops and all this water is getting inside. Somebody had the bright idea to pour a grain bin pad that...

62 this morning and headed to 72 today. .68 inches of rain so far today with another round headed towards us. Be here in about an hour. Last of the Christmas parties today. So it's another take care of birds day. Man is it muddy out. Water standing everywhere. Ground has yet to freeze this...

Sounds like a good horse for you. They did a server upgrade and have a thread for problems. They know about the emails not working again and are working on it. But they are still getting emails for that thread. New tractor is working fine. Real test will be middle of January when birds...

Merry Christmas all. And a very wet and warm one it is. 53 this morning and headed to 55 today. Rain most of day. Already 1" and still coming down. Off to the chicken coops before the boy wakes up. Then Christmas here and at her mom's today. Let's see I have to work today, hummmm I wonder if I...

47 this morning and headed to 64 today. Currently 60. 1.3 inches of rain last night as storms rolled through. Several in the area lost power, we were lucky it only blinked. NWS is saying they had a Tornado touchdown about 45 miles from me in Rockport, IN. No major damage. TMA for today is...

Drew. That's an almost identical complaint my wife had. Tooth crowned back in the spring. But dentist did a little too much grinding. Now infected and needed a root canal. Still swollen after a week of antibiotics. But they did the root canal yesterday. Tooth still hard to numb. She said face...

56 this morning and headed to 68 today. Rain on its way. Half inch forecast. Take care of birds. Then run some errands and finish Christmas shopping. Lit a brush pile yesterday so I've got to go see about it. Time to get dozer back out. Goal is to get a large enough bed of coals and large...

52 this morning and headed to 64 today. Rain has moved on. Wife's off for a root canal on the tooth that was bothering her last week. Back to the chicken coops today. Too wet to do anything else so may just do some cleaning at the coops.

49 this morning and headed to 59 today. Currently 54. Maintenance didn't get finished Saturday so working on it today. It's raining so not much else to do. Wife and boy are on Christmas break so they are home for the next two weeks. Holidays sure are coming up fast this year.

27 this morning and headed to 53 today. Don't have many plans for today. Just take care of birds then a family Christmas. Eric. Loader only moves like yours but it's a guess your aim point situation. I've seen people do that but they always used different colors of tape. Black-bucket...

All of the ones I've used were zeroed for the bucket and you just learned where the pallet forks needed to be. Bale spears, um I just watch the spear. But I'll agree it does take some Kentucky Windage sometimes.

31 this morning and headed to 47 today. Really wondering if it ever got out of the 30's yesterday. TMA is back into the chicken coops. Hope to finish them today. Then come back and help the wife clean the house and put up the Christmas tree. Yea we don't do a lot of decorating. Drew good...

He said he'd put it on when he put the remotes on. Guess I'll just wait and see if I get a bill. Don't know where you heard that. I sleep in. I start my day between 8-9am. Doesn't mean I'm not up earlier than that. Now I may not quit till 10-11pm. The ones that I know that get up every morning...
