35 this morning and headed to 40 today. Current wind chill is 28. I'll be inside the chicken coops today. It's a balmy 75+ in there. Bucket level indicator is ordered. Dealer to install once he gets the remotes in. I think that's going to help with the ease of use of the loader. Cut my hay...

Yes Drew's summer party does sound fun.

Don. Good that you're solving the white cow mystery. Not so good that you now have fence repairs. Nothing worse than having to separate two bulls. Three white horses. Not mine. You might check with Kev.

Thanks. Mountain winter weather can be a hard one I know. How long do you think this warm pattern will last. At least it's raining and warm.

Yep. Got the email last night. Good till the 20th.

35 this morning and headed to 46 today. Very rainy and warm week starting Monday. Looks like we could see rain and short sleeves for Christmas. All hopes for a white one will be gone. Thanks for all the well wishes. Had a good birthday dinner last night at Longhorn with my wife, son, parents...

Maybe. Brother yea. Wife might want to include something more. My sisters husband's birthday is Christmas Eve. Holiday birthdays through kinks in to things.

Yep. Wives can do pretty good. Can you explain the differences in saddles? I'm horse ignorant. All I know is they cost money and aren't worth anything unless they are a working horse. The TN Walker I grew up with was my sisters. All it did was eat and well make deposits.

43 this morning and headed to 61 today. Last warm day as cold front will come through tonight and tomorrow's high will be in the upper 40's. About average. More maintenance at chicken coops today. Maybe try to spread more gravel. Then out to dinner for my birthday tonight. Kev. Got that...

Sorry only one picture per post. These are 610's. 3/4" down to fines. Our crusher says 57's are the same rock without the fines.

Drew. I misspoke when I told you that I got the standard bucket on the tractor. I didn't ask what bucket and I didn't look for a sticker. While hooking it up today I noticed a sticker that read. Light Materials only. Well did I mention that I had 75 tons of gravel to move. Bet I moved 15 this...

42 this morning and headed to 61 today. Email notifications seam to be back on. Have gotten two so far. Now I guess that thread just needs to solve its toaster delima and all will be fixed. Have about 75 tons of rock to move sometime. Need to make a couple of repairs before I start that...

Well wife's dentist visit didn't go well. Tooth ache and she went by her self this morning. Well you need a root canal and the specialist can't do it till tomorrow morning. So she come back home with pain meds. Tylenol 3 didn't touch it so she calls back. Um we can start the root canal this...

55 this morning and headed to 59 today. Rain overnight left .6" and a lot of wind. When I went to bed wind was 25 gusting to 38. This morning it's 6 gusting to 13. Off to take son to daycare. Then back for the morning walk. Trying to get out of taking wife to dentist. She doesn't take off when...

Actually I didn't. It works as I tried it this afternoon. Thanks. I'll give it a shot and try to leave the switch intact. As I have to get off tractor, get hose, walk back and turn on PTO anyways. Hose wants to go flying if I'm not holding it.

Yea it's skid steer quick attach setup. I wouldn't buy a new machine without one. They're good to 100hp. Then you have to go to a different style. Mines wide enough I can see to hookup. Just can't see the tips of my forks. My seat does that for the time being. But it's going to get bypassed as...

Uv protection. Now that's a good one. :). It was a little wet in some places. Had to mow in 4wheel drive. Keeping the siphon primed would have been my problem. But I'm not an engineer either. Looks like you have this all figured out. Good luck.

How would it do if you made the second cup before drinking the first. Make your first cup a 20oz cup.

64 this morning and headed to 71 today. Rain coming in over night. Have to get the zero turn out today and finish the mowing. Areas that are too tight for tractor. Then move the cows protein tub and check the fence. I think it's down somewhere. Pretty weak last night at dark. Also work in...

Oops hit the wrong button. Here's the picture.

64 this morning and then went to 73. Currently 68 and very humid. Finished mowing with tractor. Then washed the finish mower. Now off to fix the fence. Managed to hang the loader in it and pull off a couple of insulators. Luckily I hadn't moved the cows back into that lot. After repair I will...

Don. That sure looks like it would do more than $500 in damages. Trees that large are expensive to get taken down. Around here an 18" tree would be a $500 tree. As I think that's what my grandfather paid a year or so ago for one to be taken down. One fall direction was a building and the other...

New tractor showed up about 3pm. Just shut it off. Dark now so pictures will have to be gotten tomorrow. I also mowed my yard today with the new finish mower and put out hay. Had forgotten how nice headlights are. Only tractor on the place with lights.

57 this morning and headed to 67 today. It's so warm and humid here the gravel sweated over night. Warming up rest of weekend. Got a call yesterday from Kubota dealer. There is a problem with getting the rear remote valves for the tractor. It's a Kubota issue, if I want tractor, then when the...

46 this morning and headed to 63 today. Dense fog advisory out. Managed to get the chicken coops ready to migrate yesterday and then get son to doctor for a flu shot. We had both had our already but he'd been sick enough he couldn't get his. The tubes have really helped his hearing but not his...

I use to call quarry for stone. Haul bills were killing me. This guy buys from quarry and then hauls. His haul bill is about 50-65% of quarry's. Mainly because quarry was trying to make a profit for dispatching. Oh and he will dump or tailgate spread. Same money.

49 this morning and headed to 60 today. Well pump is back up and running again. Rope was retrieved and new was added. Interesting paddling 14' semi v aluminum boat. 2 people inside one unspooling rope and stopping every 50 feet to tie another one on in the wind. All with one ore power. Well...

32 this morning and headed to 62 today. Well I heeded the advice of this group. Didn't do any cleaning yesterday. But did install the new washer and do a load of laundry. Actually I had enough breakdowns yesterday that I didn't have time to clean. Today will be just as bad I'm afraid. Have...

Another example of drawbar being less than PTO. Sorry only one picture per post.

Not necessarily on the drawbar hp. Your specific tractor wasn't tested for drawbar but I have one that I know was. Here's a screen shot. Massey Ferguson 255 50 pto hp and 42 drawbar hp. Engine wasn't tested. But I believe you will find there is almost as much power loss from drawbar to PTO...

I've been trying to get fired for 10+ years. Hasn't worked yet. Never give up.

I already here the old. "But you're home all day!" As if I do nothing else.

I'll agree to that. Plus take a look back at the history of weather. Weather records are only a little over 100 years for many places. Some 200. And we are having 1/500 year storms. How do they know? Plus wasn't it about 50-70 years ago there was concern about another ice age. Now we're warming...

42 this morning and headed to 52 today. Really nice out. Only warming all week. 70 by weekend. Today is a decide as I go day. Have some more feed trays to pickup and get 2 barns ready to migrate tomorrow, but other than that we'll have to see what the day throws my way. Do need to get the new...

Yea mine quit this week. Just thought it was my email.

30 this morning and headed to 57. Currently 44. Pond project is on hold again I think. Guy that has boat and was going to help me, got his toe broke by a cow last night. She stepped on him while he was feeding. Really need to mow the yard one last time. Was trying to wait for the finish mower...

30 this morning and headed to 56 today. Didn't get to the pond pump yesterday. But that's top priority for today. Then I really need to get back on the building my goal was to have it dried in before winter hit. Well I have what 17-18 days left. Although dad said something about making repairs...

29 this morning and headed to 53 today. Another sunny day today. Birds are all here. And so is the power company. The single phase line I'm on is about 1.5 miles long. And I'm the end of it. The engineers say it's over loaded so they are building in 3-phase about half way to me. Then they can...

29 this morning and headed to 47 today. Was warmer before daylight. Last two houses of birds come today. Had guy here at 5am to spread ammonia controller. So was up early. Maybe a nap after bird placement. Doubt it though. Then need to ride fences and check on beaver damage. Fur markets are in...

Your day sounds very similar to mine. I moved the bull. Separated out a freezer steer then turned the heifers cows and bull all out onto a new pasture. Went to move the water trough and mineral feeder managed to hang truck up but tractor pulled it out easier than I thought. I could move but kept...

Kev. I'm a Sagittarius. 16th. No I'd rather forget '08. SSA is a tough one and everybody I've ever talked to about disability benefits has said they had to get a lawyer. I know of some that started at the lawyers office and they received their benefits without a single appeal. Buckeye. That...

38 this morning and headed to 48 today. Still really soggy out. Making ruts feeding hay already. Need to go walk birds and then move some cows around. Putting heifers in with cows then going to dad's to get bull. We split bulls as we calve during different seasons. Will be turning bull out...

50 this morning and headed to 53 today. Slow clearing. Houses are all ready for birds. Matter fact 2 barns are full 47,000 birds total. Another 2 Thursday. Have a few odds and ends to do today. But nothing major as it's pretty wet out. Drew. Good luck on party and Santa suit. Hate to hear...

47 this morning and headed to 57 today. 1.75 inches of rain over the weekend, more to come later today. Pond is now full but I still have to re float pump. As well as a few minor projects for today. Have a neighbor coming back to help today. He was needing some extra cash so I offered him...

47 this morning and up to 62 now back down to 50. Rain all day and for the next few. Spent the day packing feed for chickens. Will be doing the same thing tomorrow. Picked up a farm gun yesterday a Heritage Rough Rider in 22lr and 22mag. Will be waiting for the weather to clear before trying...

47 this morning and up to 62 now back down to 50. Rain all day and for the next few. Spent the day packing feed for chickens. Will be doing the same thing tomorrow. Picked up a farm gun yesterday a Heritage Rough Rider in 22lr and 22mag. Will be waiting for the weather to clear before trying...

59 this morning and headed to 65 today. Rain coming in after dark. Had a good thanksgiving yesterday eat, nap, eat. Today it's back to the grind. Chicken coops still need a lot of work to get them ready for birds. I get half on Tuesday so I need to get heat on Sunday. Pulled pond pump...

I will be doing some research before I buy. But I don't see how it can be much worse than my current washer. My clothes go in smelling, and if I don't use twice the recommended detergent and then let it wash for 2 1/2 hours they come out smelling. And not good. Think a wet sweaty chicken mixed...

56 this morning and headed to 68 today. Well new dryer is hooked up and running. First time we've had a HE dryer. Also our first new dryer. The others were all used units and this is nice. Talking about going back and getting the matching washer. Lowes has them on sale this month. We both...

The judge does give options and is one to add to my list. Although for a wheel gun I might prefer a 38/357. If you can find 38 shot shells they make good snake guns also.

I'm not a Glock fan. I know they have a great gun and design, but I think they lack style. I love the look of stainless and it's much more durable than blueing. I'm about 270 and already carry a lot of weight on my belt and pockets. I can't walk straight if I don't have my Leatherman on my hip...

Well we are back home. He's up and going. ENT doc said they drained a bunch of fluid from his ear drums. Then did the ABR test. Hearing test preliminary results show normal hearing and no permanent hearing loss. So getting fluid off the ear drums maybe his biggest help. It's going to be...

41 this morning and headed to 61 today. I'm up early as we have to be at hospital by 5:30 for sons tubes at 7:30. Looks like I'll have plenty of time to catch up on TBN this morning. If I don't use the waiting room for a napping station. 300uguy hope that hand heels quickly for you. I have...

32 this morning and headed to 58 today. Got to go to most places yesterday. But didn't make it to look at guns. Well the dryer quit yesterday. So must go pick up new one today. Lowes couldn't deliver it till tomorrow and our son gets tubes tomorrow, so that was a no go. Then run to bank and...

Ron safe travels. Remember keep the bugs off your glass, and the bears off your... Fill it in. My last job required me to put about 50k a year on trucks. Now I'm lucky to do that in 5 years. I don't miss it either.

30 this morning and headed to 52 today. TMA is work in chicken coops till lunch then take wife to doctor and run some errands. Wanting to go look at wood stoves while in BG. May also try to go to Cabela's. I'm looking for a 1911 in 45acp. They had a nice looking sig online. Now to try and hold it.

25 this morning and has so far managed to get to 37 today. Been with wife all day grocery shopping. Headed home now. Then to get boy from my parents. Drew. It's my grandfathers family. He had 17 siblings at one time. Counting half and full. There's only 3 of them left now. But others kids...

Good afternoon everyone. Got up to 57 today before the rain and front came through. Now about 41. Had a family breakfast this morning. It's an annual thing. Most of the people I didn't even know. Then off to Kubota dealer. He has 2 models I think will work. A MX5200 and a M5660SU. Thoughts...

34 this morning and headed to 57 today. TMA today is same as yesterday's. Back to the chicken coops. Have a good day everyone.

This dealer is a New Holland and Kubota dealer. The Kubota he recommended is the M9960 Low Profile. I asked him about the MX5200. He has that one but is researching if he can add creeper kit. And looking at other options in both color lines. The 9960 is to much tractor for the finish mower. They...

Drew good job on Christmas tree. Ours doesn't go up till after Thanksgiving. I refuse to skip holidays.

45 this morning and headed to 59 today. About 2 inches of rain yesterday. Sunny today. Back into the chicken coops. Maybe I'll get somewhere today. Have another tractor dealer supposed to call back today. He has options. Now I just need to decide if I want a 45 pto hp tractor with a finish...

62 this morning and falling later in the day after the rain stops. So far over .5 inches probably that much more to come. After rain stops it's work on the chicken coops but need to run some errands till then. Kev. I like to wait till June to pasture any newly seeded perennials. Annuals I...

55 this morning and headed to 71 today. Rain till lunch already have about .75 inches. Another 2+ forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Got the parts to fix pond pump yesterday but was raining by the time I got out of TSC. I'm loving having that new store about 10 miles away. Maybe get that...

44 this morning and headed to 56 today. Rain coming in. Well didn't get the relief I was hoping for yesterday. They took a needle and drilled a hole in the nail. It'll drain as long as there is a needle spinning in it. Wife wouldn't let me try paper clip like was suggested but then she...

35 this morning and headed to 66 today. Need to go see why the barrel came off the pond pump. Pump now on bottom of pond. Barrel on bank. Then call doctors office and see if they can drill my thumb nail. I'm typing left handed today. Yesterday after pictures we went driving to several tractor...

MFW. I've got a cs-400 with 18" bar, I had trouble keeping the factory chain tight and sharp. Once I put a new Oregon chain on my chain troubles stopped. And the saw became a whole different saw. My saw likes a pretty tight chain. Has to be tight enough to pitch the front of the bar up. Or it...

28 this morning and headed to 62 today. Have to go with wife to take son for Christmas pictures. Just how I want to spend a Saturday. Then may do some driving around. With no real place to go. My favorite but wife hates it. So payback. Then will try to finish my bush hogging. Only a couple of...

They handed me the check that I wrote them back. Yea they weren't motivated. Probably be the last time I bother going in there.

It was LS. But not a company issue. It was at the plant ready. 4 hours away. But the dealer wasn't motivated to go get it.

32 this morning and headed to 58 today. Need to move a tractor today. Since mine isn't coming. Went back to dealer Wednesday and heard same song but different dance about why they've missed 4 delivery dates. Tractor still was at factory. They couldn't go get it. Got my deposit back and told...

52 this morning and headed to 60 today. Cool and windy. Need to move the equipment I couldn't do this weekend. Then a meet and eat in town with the poultry company. Biosecurity training. Could get interesting with a full belly. Then hopefully start washing fans. Took boy to allergist...

43 this morning and headed to 70 today. Very windy. Gust above 40. Well good news and bad. Good birds are gone but now work starts. Bad. Boy seen ENT doctor yesterday and now needs tubes. Wife is freaked out, but I'm glad a doctor finally found something. Fluid on ears. Maybe we are headed in...

45 this morning and headed to 61 today. An incredible .03 inches of rain yesterday that took all day to fall. I know RNG would love to have that rain but it just made a nasty day here. Got tires replaced yesterday after 3 hours in the waiting room. Parkway was closed for a semi wreck so road...

44 this morning and headed to 50 today. Light rain moving in. Need to start calling around to see what everyone has. I put a set of Michelin M/S2's on wife vehicle back in the spring. Really like them but I want something more aggressive. Drew thanks for the link. I like those m/t BFG's...

The sinus infection is my punishment for bushhoging last week. :). The tires that are on the truck are MasterCrafts. C/T. But my MasterCraft dealer keeps absolutely no stock the Goodyear and Michelin dealer (same place) does keep a stock. I can't blame you on the heights part. I'm dreading my...

Currently 47 dropping to a low of about 40. Today's minimal achievements didn't work out. Whatever was wrong Friday game back this time with a fever. So ended up at the doctors office for 3 hours and have a sinus infection. Well I was going to take truck and move some equipment anyways but not...

40 this morning and headed to 59 today. Plans are minimal today. Need to move some equipment to get ready for birds to leave. They leave Tuesday night.

GP. Hate to hear of your accident but fortunately it wasn't worse. Hope you heal soon. Traditional push stocks just seam awkward for me to use. Then I found this one and love it. I also stand to the side so kickbacks should go away from me. I also positioned the power switch so when I'm...

50 this morning and headed to 60 today. Cooler but clear for a few days. Did a little more work on building yesterday but not much got to feeling bad yesterday afternoon but after some meds last night and a good sleep I feel better this morning. RS. You want fish on a budget. Sneak into the...

65 this morning with a over night high of 71 and .8 inches of rain. High today will be about 67 before front gets here. Well I think I crossed the halfway point on my fall mowing yesterday. Will be interesting to see when I can get back in the fields. They were in good shape yesterday as I...

66 this morning and headed to 76 today. Marginal to slight risk for severe weather for us during the overnight. We'll see what plays out. Just about to the forecast hour 10 years ago there was a tornado that hit an Evansville, Indiana trailer park. Killed several 20+. Back to bush hogging...

57 this morning and headed to 77 today. Well yesterday didn't go as planned. Did get bush hog on tractor but never used it. Spent my day working on feed lines. Had a motor burn up and instead of kicking reset it kicked the breaker. So none of the feed lines worked. Got that sorted out and...

55 this morning and headed to 78 today. Another nice day out. Going to try to get the bush hog going early, all it needs is grease. That is as long as the birds cooperate with no breakdowns. Drew when I poured mine last November it rained during the night. Can't tell it. The concrete was...

Kev. Looks like a nice trailer. Gestation is about normal for a regular cow. Good luck. Roy. I just hate it when simple fixes take most of the day. Glad it's running again. Don funny video. Drew. Your finally getting your building. Just a reminder of something the grandson of the local...

50 this morning and headed to 75 today. A nice week forecast. Have some concrete repairs to make this morning. One of my grain bin pads slopes towards the chicken coop. The form builders were geniuses. So I end up with a 2-3 inch deep pond back there when it rains. Then that runs inside the...

56 this morning and headed to 67 today. About a half inch of rain over night and a big warming trend for the week. Seeing forecast that say November could be warmer than average. Need to take care of birds then off to my parents for lunch. Fried fish from down Larro's and Kev's way. Maybe some...

Drew. Skip the fitting that Kyle posted. Those suck to be polite. If they don't have a double o-ring they'll leak as soon as installed. These are the best for quick repairs on anything under 1 1/2 inches...

Kyle. I completely understand I two never have liked vegetables. Oh I eat peas and green beans. Lettuce if in a salad with 2-3 servings of dressing. :). Tomatoes but I have to watch the acid. I'm a meat and potatoes guy. I was married and in my 20's before I'd order a salad. Now when eating out...

50 this morning and headed to 61 today. Rain moving in. Which means I need to get out and pickup the tools I left out last night. Then it's trick or treating this afternoon. Really messes with the last late evening. Time change tonight. Happy Halloween everyone.

33 this morning and headed to 62 today. Back to building today after a few errands. Last day to pay property taxes early and receive the 2% discount. So that's one stop. I know there will be a line there. Eric that sounds like a enjoyable way to spend the evening.

Already down to 41 tonight. Going to get colder than predicted I think. Eventful evening. Wife comes home to change and get me so we can go out to eat for her birthday. She has boy with her. Comes in and says "I can't get the latch unbuckled on the car seat. " So I go out, thinking the way...

Good one. I know what you mean. Growing up dad and me redid his house. I'd take a pen and write down his material estimates adding 2-5 in the process. We still always came up short. Occasionally we would have just enough.

40 this morning and headed to 60 today. Rain chances go back up this weekend, then temps hit 70's next week. Good because I have a week of bushhoging to do before winter. Back to building today. Made some progress yesterday just kept having to redo stuff. Cuts were all good and so were...

Kev good to hear that your wife's ok. She's lucky. Doesn't matter how gentle a horned animal is, you still have to respect the horns. Remind her "When you mess with the bull, you get the horns". Speedy recovery.

60 this morning and headed to 66. 3.85 inches of rain since Monday afternoon. Still raining. Learned something yesterday. The connection between the grain bin pad and they rat wall is leaking again. Let's just say the birds could have a swimming pool if I'd let them in. The pad is sloped...

A Spanish Inquisition in England. Hmmm. "No hablo espanol, so you leave now." Doubt that would work, but I'd be willing to try it.

Well we have a big warmup for today. It's 58 headed to 60. Rain all day. And .65 inches since 2pm yesterday. Sure do like this slow rain. Managed to get the soffit up yesterday before the rain hit. Then a couple of repairs in chicken coops after it started. As for today. Well I'll see what I...

54 this morning and headed to 66 today. Rain coming in tonight thru Wednesday. 1-3 inches forecast. Going to try to get the soffit up on building before rain gets here. Got started over the weekend and realized I needed more hands. Holding 12' of flimsy F channel and trying to nail just...

55 this morning and headed to 66 today. .32 inches of rain in last 24 hours. Have to go get lunch and take to in-laws today. My wife's and her twin sister's birthdays are coming up this week. So having a get together for her side of the family. Then don't know what I'll get into. Drew. How'd...

65 this morning and headed to 73 today. Cloudy and rain coming. Forecasts of 1-2 inches. Nothing compared to mostly's total. Never did make the building yesterday, got sidetracked. Got to looking at how low pond was and decided to put the silly bar on and mow some ditches and around the pond...

Pulled the plug and purchased a new LS XR4155 today. Reverser transmission and R4 tires. Also added a front bale spear, pallet forks and a FMR2584 Land Pride finish mower. Supposed to be here in 10 business days or less. Pictures then.

Drew sounds like this guy builds houses not pole barns. Have him respec the trusses. For 4 or 5 foot centers. 8 or 10 foot post centers. Regular truss- never seen one. Have set W trusses and scissor trusses. W trusses are stronger than scissor but scissor gives you added inside height. You can...

50 currently and headed to 81 today. Got my errands run yesterday and got a little more done to the building. Back to building today. Kev. Still waiting on test to be done.

Happy birthday buckeye.

50 currently and headed to 83 today. Sure is warming up. Next chance of rain is Saturday. Have some errands to run this morning then hopefully back to building. Allergist doesn't think sons problems are allergy related, but is going to do the test to make sure. Now for us to decide. Hold him...

Congrats Gary. Take it baby and mother are both doing good?

45 this morning and headed to 80 today. Nice day. Today's plans aren't much as I have to take son to Allergist at 1:30. His first visit. So will be doing some cleaning and then take him. Buppies those forecast don't sound like they've changed much since last year. :) Last one I seen for my...

I posted at 9:50pm cst. It's now 9:51pm cst.

155k miles on truck('06 2500hd Chevy 6.0). I'm 3rd owner but to my knowledge no work on a/c. A/c has been struggling last couple summers. But good enough for me. My trips aren't long enough for it to cool off. I really think it's the a/c clutch. When turned on no sound. When turned off it...

37 this morning and headed to 72 today. They say fall colors should peak about the end of the month for us. Back to the chicken coops today hopefully just a couple of hours left. Then get a haircut as long as truck makes it to town and back. Think the air conditioning compressor is trying to...

Drew. That link was within a half inch of the chart I used. So I'm pretty sure now that they're all going to be close. Was wondering how much the height varied by manufacturer though. Yep. I have about 6 feet of clearance. And that's with me sitting in the seat.

30 this morning and headed to 71 today. Back to the chicken coops today. One day this week I need to go down to the local dealer and get a final price worked out on tractor. Looking at a LS. Just too much price difference not to go that route. Would like to have it before birds leave. Does...

I wish it was that easy Drew. School board here prefers fist fights. And if you want them to do something it has to be leaked outside the county. A good principal, haven't seen one of those since I was in grade school. In high school I watched the principal jump on the Agricultural teachers...

Yelp and they preach. "Don't teach the test" till they get that D. Then it's "We have to prep for the test, but don't teach the test" after they prep for the test the years gone. They no longer teach one to live (life skills). They need the test scores and I've never lived off the test...

25 this morning and headed to 62. 55 currently. Not much done yesterday besides spend time with wife me boy. Did take care of birds MF move cows water tank. Today will be take care of birds and then meet my parents and grandparents for lunch. Then back to the weekly grind next week. Drew...

30 this morning and headed to 60 today. Already up to 55. Have yet to figure out today's plans. Do need to move a water trough and mineral feeder. Sadamo nice tile job. I said the last one I did could be my first and last and I'd never do one in a room that small again. Of the 35 tiles I had...

I've heard that from others as well. Our concerns started because of him not talking and when he did start all his words use D. Almost like everything is muffled. Sorry to hear about your son also. What were they able to do for him? How is he doing? Thanks for the well wishes.

51 this morning and headed to 67 today. Could be a chilly day. But I know where it's about 78. Chicken coops, so I could spend some time in there to warmup. They're putting off most of their own heat now. Maybe I can get to my maintenance today. Son has a therapist session today and wife wants...

Breakdowns aren't fun good luck fixing. Had son's hearing test done. Second one in 3 months. Same results no response and pretty much failed what he'd let them do. Even with me holding him down. But they ruled inconclusive results because he wasn't cooperating. But since we have concerns about...

Yea but horns hurt. Trust me. Just knocking the tips off is all you'd have to do. You just want them dull. That's bad about the hooves but why do you need a flip shoot? A regular shoot will hold him. Yea it's not as easy but doable. Find someone with sheep. Although my buddy has sheep and he...

Kev how old it that bull? If not very old it maybe wise to trim his horns. Once trimmed they grow back but stay dull. Dull horns don't do near the damage of sharp ones. Be sure you have antiseptic spray and a clotting powder on hand. As they are a blood bath to cut. I've cut'em and had blood...

43 this morning and headed to 78 today. Another nice day. Not much accomplished yesterday but did get chicken coops mowed. Now just have the driveway left. Ended up with wife at the quick care. Son broke a glass. (Accident and he's 2). While cleaning it up she got some in her foot. I could...

Drew. Transmission fluid (ATF) is a high detergent oil. He also said when you get ready to overhaul an engine to switch it over to transmission fluid and it would clean itself for you. But only if ready for a rebuild. He retired from Cat. He also knew guys that filled the fuel filters with ATF...

50 this morning and headed to 74 today. Chance of frost this weekend. More maintenance in the chicken coops today. Then off to a friends place to swap his bale monitor over to his new tractor. He just picked up a 7040 LS cabbed. Maybe I'll have time to work on building soon. Kev is going to...

49 this morning and headed to 71 today. Cold front came through yesterday and brought us .59 inches of rain. Spent some time in chicken coops yesterday before dentist visit. Well teeth are still sore and sensitive so hopefully it gets better and I can go back to eating on that side. Went in for...

Drew if you'd found it earlier we could have set up a go fund me page. Doubt we have time now. Only 8 days left to raise cash. What you want to bet it doesn't sell.

59 currently and headed to 82 today. Would be a nice day except for the dentist visit. Having a filling redone that's leaking. Other than that it'll be time inside the chicken coops. Wife's on fall break so she's home all week. Eric always good to see those old planes. What is this double...

Sounds like a good plan. Congrats on the first calf. Every year the first calf is a big deal. Here's our first one of the season.

44 this morning and headed to 76 today. It's getting cold so I need to be winterizing the pumps and sprayers. The poultry house washer is the big one. I picked up enough RV antifreeze last week to do me all winter. Then I need to mow. Getting close to 6 weeks since the last time it was cut...

I know what you mean. My wife remembers when I wasn't woolly and had a full head of hair. We married at 21. Now she complains about how thin my head hair is while she jokes about having to comb my back. :). :0. I keep telling her it leaves up top and comes out everywhere else. I keep my shirt...

54 currently and headed to 72 today. .28 inches of rain yesterday most of which came down really slow. Going to help a friend move some hay. His ton is still down. But did say I didn't want his trailer fully loaded on my truck. My trailer still has scaffolding on it that I don't want to take...

A cool 65 here and misty rain. Don't think it ever made 75 today. Maybe 70. Well the boy wasn't as sick as his mother tried to convince me he was. Just drainage. But I do think we got somewhere with the doctor. She said she would refer him to a ENT doc once she had the hearing test results...

64 this morning and headed to 75 today. Rain chances start at lunch. Seed is all sowed now just waiting on the rain. Didn't pull the packer over it. Decided that it's too much trouble. I've got the boy this morning. Taking him to the doctor to be seen. He's been fighting a runny nose since...

I must say don you have a wider palette than I do. If umami is to taste like earth I'll pass. Just got done eating the dust of a seed sower and packer. And I can say it was neither tasty nor filling. Matter of fact the grit is still there.

57 this morning and headed to 82 today. Well wheat is sowed and disced in. Now to sow ryegrass and roll it in. It's slowly coming together. Should be good to have a rain on it Friday. Although I think the ground has enough moisture for germination. Then time in the chicken coops. And errands.

57 this morning and headed to 84 today. Today it's take care of birds and then back to the disc. I think I'm close to sowing seed. Another couple of hours then sow then disc then sow again and roll. Wheat really needs to be disced in and ryegrass doesn't. A good roll will get it. Need to put...

67 tonight. Did get some discing done today. But have some more to do tomorrow. It's taking forever as all I have is an old IH 6' pull type disc. Just not enough weight. Kev you are a heck of a craftsman. No way would I attempt a boat. Much less with those gators. Especially after your swim...

I'll give it a look.

That's one heck of a couch. I'd never be allowed that.

57 this morning and headed to 85 today. Another nice day. Rain chance increase Friday. Yesterday's dentist visit went good. I'm actually liking this one. He skips the lectures. Old dentist was always on my case because I floss twice a year and she did it. New one doesn't even bring it up. Sure...

Oh congrats on the new couch. You'll be comfy soon.

No worries Kev. My dentist appointment ran late and I didn't have time to go shopping. :(. But did have time to surf the web for them. What I always ASSumed was a 3/4-1 hp router turns out to be a 2-2 1/2 hp router. You know full size and with interchangeable bases. So I will probably end up...

Will do. The rabbits will be in ship lap siding. So 1/2 x 1/2" x length of board. Would I be better off with a table? That was the reason for wanting a fence.

Kev. I was thinking dual base. A solid base and a plunge. Would like a fence. Just general woodworking. Mortise and tenon, rabbits, rounding edges. What I'm trying to do is keep from having to change setups in table saw as much. I'm getting ready to have to do a lot of rabbits and I have a...

56 this morning and headed to 83 today. Nice dry and clear day. Yesterday went well. Got both the end walls upstairs framed and ready for metal. Well almost I need some hinges and to build a door. A little less than 2 hours per wall. Today is a goner. After I get done with birds and get next...

55 this morning and headed to 76 today. Rain has moved out so looks to be a dry day. Spent my time yesterday in chicken coops so my plans didn't happen. Plan today is to work on building I think dad is coming to help also. Drew. The snapping turtles that make it to the yard die. Sorry, but...

48 this morning and headed to 56 today. 50% chance of rain today had .08 inches yesterday. A couple very cool days. Fairly good day yesterday. Got the disc all greased and started discing. Got about half the field disced then had a brush pile in my way. I'm tired of going around it, so I go get...

55 this morning and headed to 62 today. Cloudy with a chance of rain less than 1/4 inch predicted. Got the disc drug out yesterday everything still rolls. Now to grease and set it in the dirt and see if it'll cut. Have about 3 acres to till. Had to set out some hay yesterday and will probably...

59 this morning and headed to 68 today. Almost an inch of rain Tuesday and Tuesday night. Still cloudy. Not much going on here. Birds arrived Tuesday. Then yesterday I spent the day with a stomach bug. Only to have the wife and boy come home sick with what looks like the same thing. They are...

Larro could you explain the rocket mass heater. I think I know what one looks like but how does it work for the green house. What I'm thinking of is more of a cook stove style.

Kev. I'll disc and roll with a packer. Spread seed then roll again. I'm up to 7 of 13. Will have 16 to turn with bull on December 1.

70 this morning and headed to 74 today with rain. Only .1" over night. Looks like most of the heavy stuff moved west of me. This will definitely slow down combines as the stover will be too wet. Houses are ready for birds and a balmy 92*. Probably humid too. Now waiting on chicks to show up...

Looking to purchase a new 4 Series Deere before the end of the year. I've been using a family members 4120 and its the right size for what I'm doing. Just want a few more horsepower in the same size. Sometimes the 4120 pulls hard. It'll be in a poultry barn so a lot of high RPM and Low Speed...

64 this morning and headed to 86 today. Rain chances increase all day and then hold till Wednesday. The local weatherman's computers are calling for over an inch by Wednesday. We'll see. I tried to take pictures but with only a phone camera they didn't turn out. That and it was in the east...

68 tonight. Sitting here with family watching the lunar eclipse. It's almost complete. Didn't end up going shopping but did go to a local orchard and let son play and pick his pumpkins. Nice day with wife and boy. Buppies don't float off.

65 this morning and headed to 79 today. Rain chances return for next two days. Although not much I'll take what I can get. Feed is all down in chicken coops now just to run feedlines and turn heaters on on Monday. Plans for today are nothing. I offered to take wife to Nashville to the mall...

Kyle. They'll be gone in a couple of days. I have that many that live here almost year around if not more. Doubt I take any pictures. The dams are on the public land though. But they back water onto me and are flooding a field and woods. They've raised the water level in the ditch enough to...

62 this morning and headed to 77 today. .35 inches of rain yesterday. That's also the total for the month. We're dry enough that trees are dropping leaves. The beaver swamp on the back line it down over 2 feet. Might try to slip the dozer in for a 1-2 punch at some of the dams. If I have time...

That's not good Kyle. Was it just a pond or serve other purposes? An air pump with diffusers in the deepest part are supposed to eliminate the potential for a turn over. As it causes the water to stir and eliminates the thermocline and anaerobic waters.

60 this morning and headed to 78 today. Chance of rain but will be light and spotty. Chicken coops are ready to let lines down. Have a guy coming to pull 2 augers in one house and replace a section of tubing on each. I'll work on the other 3 while he does that. Feed is here so if I get...

52 this morning and headed to 87 today. Very dry air here. But fall color predictions are for a very good season. Back to the chicken coops today. Have to disinfect and bug spray. Then start setting up. Will have a few errands to run while disinfect dries. Then take wife to doctor and go see...

Only one picture per post.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on my description. The angle runs under the frame across the trailer. Here's some pictures. I did this for both axles.

48 this morning and headed to 86 today. Think I'm done playing in water to a couple of months. Everything is washed. Now to spread litter back out and level it down. Then set up.

44 this morning and headed to 85 today. And dry. Local weatherman was talking about how wet July was and now how dry September is. Guess it all averages out. More trays to wash today then wash shutters on fans. Birds come in one week. Litter is still in windrows although it's done heating and...

Congrats on the anniversary.

53 this morning and headed to 83 today. Go get stitches out of my arm this morning and then come home and play in water. I mean wash feed trays. Maybe it'll have warmed a bit by then. First get supper in crock pot. Taco soup. Drew nice boat. Good luck. Buppies glad your getting rain. The...

Nice bike. Enjoy. Too few wheels for me though.

Buppies is there a previous winter you would compare the upcoming one too? I've heard 08/09 and 14/15. Power company was shaking when they said they'd been hearing 08/09. We had 2-3 inches of ice that February. Know people out of power for over 6 weeks. Mom and Dad were out 33 days.

56 this morning and headed to 79 today. Nice cool off but no rain. It died out before it got here. Shed is ready for metal and building has a door and another walk thru door framed up. Need to order some rollers to use with the table saw. And get some lumber picked up and cleaned up. Don't...

Nope Drew. I wish anyway. Chickens require attention 7 days a week. But I don't have any currently. Either way Saturday and Sunday I turn off the alarms. Wife sleeps till 10+. And I cook breakfast, eat and leave it for her when she gets up. But I'll try to put my comment in perspective. Roy got...

65 this morning and headed to 81 today. Small chance of rain. Spent yesterday chasing down a 13/64's drill bit. And of course the one place in town that always has everything. Locally owned hardware store. Is going out of business. I've tried to keep some business there over the years. But...

62 this morning and headed to 92 today. Cool off tomorrow and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Only 40%. Didn't get much done yesterday. Wife got sent home from work. Her arm was hurting and she had bad heartburn. Blood pressure was high at work. She hadn't had her medicine for BP yet. So...

Roof is on. Now to get the framing done and walls on.

56 this morning and headed to 88 today. Back to the chicken coops. More maintenance. I'm freeing up all my fan belt tensioners and adding grease fittings. The new ones all have grease fittings and the aluminum doesn't seize up. The old ones don't and stop keeping belts tight. So I'm drilling...

54 this morning and headed to 86 today. Taking some time off from building, now that it's under roof. Wife's changing design a little. And I have some things that need doing in the chicken coops. Get ready for next flock. Did get hay baled yesterday. A whole 24 bales for a friend. His...

Drew. How do I break this easily. Um no way too. You builders wife wants a new deck and hot tub. And he's trying to cash flow it with your job alone. Ok maybe not but still. Let his boots hit the pavement. That's a 16x36+a 16x15 shed. All numbers are rounded up. $1,000 for concrete 16x36...

54 this morning and headed to 85. Building roof is on and wall framing is started. Today is adding the shed roof. Then off to bale some hay. Drew. Ask around and you can find the farms. But I bet the farmers will all tell you. "That stench doesn't stink. It smells like money." Laughing...

45 this morning and headed to 81 today. No rain till next weekend. Got friends tractor moved. 4020 John Deere. Oh well his 25' 20k GN made it easy. That trailer pulls easier loaded than my 16' 14k GN does empty. Then got the insides of chicken coops finished washing yesterday. That was all...

Roof metal is in. Have 3 of the 4 roof sides on. Am going to try and do the last side and shed roof tomorrow. Here's one side.

47 this morning and headed to 71 today. Currently 63. Very nice weekend. Warming into the upper 80's be weeks end and then another chance of rain. Thanks guys. Arm is sore this morning but doesn't hurt to move or anything. I was wearing gloves when I did this. They just weren't long enough. I...

Did have some more help show up today. Managed 3/4 of the building roof before getting rained out. Not bad considering I ended up with a 2 hour run to the quick care. While putting on the first top side I managed to hang my arm on the corner of a sheet of metal. Cut me to the muscle for about...

60 this morning and headed to 70 today. Rain has disappeared from the forecast. Going to try to get the roof on my building today. If I can find help. Right now it's just me and dad. Which is doable but will be a slow go running that ladder.

Kev. Here's an article for you from UGA about the Bahia grass. It says 12-15 lbs per acre. The Management and Use of Bahiagrass | Publications | UGA Extension If you was going with perineal ryegrass then I'd go about 20 lbs for my area. Don't know about Florida. But should be close.

Kev. I plant a mix of winter wheat and annual ryegrass. Wheat at about 75lbs/acre. Ryegrass about 15lbs/acre.

62 this morning and headed to 81 today. Rain chances start this afternoon. Hopefully be out by morning. Metal for roof on building supposed to be in today. So go pick that up. Need some double bubble to put under it. Stops the sweating. But first move a tractor and start washing the chicken...

68 this morning and headed to 86 today. A quarter of inch of rain yesterday and last night. Good dust settler. Still have errands to run. Spent to much time fighting computer yesterday trying to load a printer. My desktop died and that was my printing computer. So laptop now has printer driver...

That's the way it is here in Kentucky.

69 this morning and headed to 84 today. The cold front is sitting right on top of me according to the weather map. .17" of rain this morning looks like a break till lunch then rain rest of day. Have some errands and bills to take care of. Means 2-3 hours on the road. Then get an assessment of...

67 this morning and headed to 95 today. Local weatherman says it's the last day of the year in the 90's. I'm going to hold him to it. Half of birds are gone. Other half are leaving tonight. So go get them ready and then work starts. Still have those mouse bait stations to tackle. But I don't...

Here's a picture of my 7' squealer. You can see the top link swivel. It has its limits but they are steep. It has a slot for the bushing and then it also swivels.

70 this morning and headed to 94 today. Another hot one then a chance of rain and cool off Wednesday. Of course. The day after birds leave. Getting 2 barns ready to leave tonight. Have to show up at a family function on wife's side. But I'll be leaving pretty quick from that. Always middle of...

Kev just checked UK 40-Louisiana-Lafayette 33. They were tied in the fourth last night. Seemed like a good game only caught bits and pieces.

69 this morning and headed to 95 today. Have a family get together each of next two days. All on wife's side. I get out of tomorrow's early but I need an excuse for today. Any ideas? Tomorrows is "My chickens are leaving". Won't work today. But maybe I can get back and finish mowing. Had a...

70 this morning and headed to 98 today. It's going to be another hot one. When y'all find that rain send some this way. While we aren't anywhere near as dry as the western states the pasture grass is dry enough it's not recovering. Plans for today are to mow. Bouncing around on a dusty lawn...

64 this morning and headed to 97 today. I'll be glad when this heat wave is over. Only bad thing is it's not going to end before chickens leave. Back to the chicken coops for repairs today. Then maybe I'll get the loader fixed. The cylinder pin is walking out on me. Only about halfway in...

62 this morning and headed to 96 today. Have some spot bushhoging to do today. Just need to knock down the burs. Then some fence repairs so I can move calves into new lot and mow the one they are in. I mow behind my cattle unless it's something they will cause them a problem. As I prefer to...

66 this morning and headed to 95 today. Yesterday was hot but not to bad with a breeze. Did some bushhoging of the winter lot. I'll get it worked up soon and my winter wheat planted for the cows to graze. I try to plant a winter wheat/ryegrass mix every year so cows have something besides hay...

65 this morning and headed to 95 today. Humidity is supposed to be back for the week. Well RNG I'll let you decide. He gets twice the girlfriends that way. But only gets 60 days to get them knocked up at each place. :0. Didn't get motivated yesterday as I figured. So maybe today. Back to...
