Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 18.8C, partly cloudy with [once again] a howling wind. I took the flagpole down yesterday in anticipation. It's predicted to calm down late this arvo. So I won't be able to get at the two tree trunks that need felling. That's OK...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 13.1C [heading to 18C], mostly cloudy with steady wind. Yesterday's tree felling only half accomplished as the bloody wind kicked up. But I was able to clear all of the branches and safely drop the split portion of the trunk. I had...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 17.6C, lightly overcast with a wee breeze. There was 0.6mm in the gauge @ 0900. Lovely yesterday with a number of 'organisational' phone calls made. Mostly accommodation (2 days) and a "Gordon River Cruise" (top deck) for 4...

On my 4105, the shield above the PTO shaft stays up, on its own, when needed to attach an implement. Otherwise it's down. I see no reason to remove it as it protests the shaft & tines from any inadvertent damage. I also use the plastic shaft cover on the PTO shaft when it's not in use = a wee...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.5C and it's presently 15.0C, fairly clear with, again, gusty wind. There was 2.8mm in the gauge @ 0900. Successful run 'into town' yesterday... although I forgot to add English muffins to the list. Oh well, looks like cinnamon toast instead. :) What...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.9C and it's presently 17.0C. Mostly sunny (at the moment) with a 'howling' wind! Yeah, I've got one tree split & down... the upper half is being supported by another tree so a close-by fence has been spared. Bugger. Rain predicted for this arvo. I...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.2C and it's presently 17.1C, mostly clear with an occasional breeze. Last evening's Parish Meeting went a wee bit overtime but was productive. Mind you, when I returned home (1820) I felt unusually irritable = blood sugar was low. All was well after I...

Good stuff. Glad to know that you're 'real'... we do get a number of spammers, some of who wait months after initially joining. Anyway, g'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

I just read this and have to share: Heart breaking "His cattle didn’t get a bid, they were fairly bloody poor, What was he going to do? He couldn’t feed them anymore, The dams were all but dry, hay was thirteen bucks a bale, Last month’s talk of rain was just a fairytale, His credit had run...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.1C and it's presently 16.1C, overcast & fairly clam. Rain is predicted for this arvo. Yesterday was spent doing 'pickup sticks' around my property and taking them to the tip. What looked like a big job only took a couple of hours. Yay. Today is...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.7C and it's presently 16.6C, partly cloudy with a breeze. Well the Rectory tree clean-up is done'n'dusted. On my last trip to the tip I 'ran into' an old Mate who I hadn't seen in ages. He was dumping half of a lemon tree that got damaged. Anyway, he...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.8C and it's presently 17.1C, clear with a gentle breeze. There was 2.3mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's predicted severe wind warning came true. No damage here @ Wagtail Park but I did take down my flagpole. (it's back up now) Glad that I didn't...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 14.5C (heading to 18C, apparently), partly overcast & calm. I've had a brief morning shower but it's too early to check the gauge. The ute's loaded up and I'll head over to the Rectory about 0840. With 2-3 people, and the right...

What I have is something I 'made up', copying what a Chimney Sweep (handy man) used. It's actually a heavy steel star-picket (metal fencing post) with chicken wire wrapped around the top of the picket and tied on with light galvanised wire. You then tie a good and long length of rope through the...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 17.1C, clear & calm. Yesterday I tackled my woodheater 'maintenance' as I'd let the fire go out last Saturday. The bottom of the firebox hadn't been emptied in a few seasons and, Lord, did it need it! 3.5 buckets of near...

Good (Monday) morning, and the 2nd 'official' day of Spring. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 15.3C, lightly overcast with a moderate breeze.

Good very early, for me, (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low & and presently 10.2C. Overcast with, at times, heavy downpours. Very windy too. It's too dark to check the rain gauge. :D I think that I'll head off to Launie for the conference just after 0600 and take my time during this weather...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.5C and it's presently 17.2C, clear with continued gusty wind. There was 15.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. ... and I got 'cocky'. The flagpole was blown down this morning, probably around 0500 due to sustained (recorded at the aerodrome) wind of 82+kph. It's...

It's the annual 'rate', so it's for the entire year. Which is pretty cheap when compared to what is paid in a Big Smoke.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.6C and it's presently 16.4C, overcast and blustery (damaging wind warning for most of the State). Rain expected late tonight. I've taken my flagpole down in anticipation of the weatherguessers being correct. Plumber contacted, with a follow-up text...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.9C and it's presently 19.5C, clear & calm. There was 3.8mm in the gauge from a brief t-storm yesterday evening. These mild/warmer temperatures, especially for late Winter, certainly are confusing. All the signs of Spring are happening; spring birds...

I'm in the cheap 'tote'/storage bin camp. Most of them, these days, even have wheels on the bottom for ease of sliding then in & out from under the tractor. I've used them a couple of times, then I duct-tape the lid on for either the short trip, in the back of my ute, to my local tip for...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 13.7C, clear & calm. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @ 0800... left over from yesterday morning's drizzle. I'm off to Church in about a half hour. It'll be a long one, not because I'm leading the Morning Prayer service but because it...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.5C and it's presently 16.9C, fairly clear with the occasional gust of wind, otherwise calm at the moment. Yesterday was very productive. The electrician called @ 0930; the urgent job was done. Met him 10 minutes later @ the Church. Short story is that...

Well... I simply removed the switch from the bottom of the seat and then tie-wrapped (zip-tied) a small piece of wood onto the switch = keeping it depressed/engaged at all times. I then coiled the switch & wire down beneath the seat. It's been like this, for me, ever since. If I ever need to...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 18.7C, clear & calm. Lovely day, yesterday. The 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' came by in the late arvo and reported that the possum was still 'nesting' at the front of her lucerne & was barely responsive. I called a Mate of mine who...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently still that... 'predicted High' of 16C, although yesterday it got up to 19.9C! (t-shirt weather for a bit). It's clear and calm. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it...

The Aussie minimum wage is A$24.10 per hour... Which is also why 'tipping' is a rare occurrence here, unless it's truly warranted for exceptional service. Anyway, the increase, which happens twice a year, applies to all alcohol, tobacco and petrol. No matter who is 'in power', federally, it...

^^^ True, but the price of one glass of wine used to = about a half a retail bottle. Now it's the entire cost.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.7C and it's presently 18.7C! Fairly clear with a gentle breeze. Very 'warm' Winter temperatures. Last evening's 'drinks' was a lovely social event but, crickey, has the prices ever gone up (due to the Fed Gov). One large glass of wine cost the same as...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.4C and it's presently 11.7C, overcast & it's going to be a blustery day. The wind chill is knocking at least 5C off. I've already been into town for 'fasting blood' + urine sample. I pounded back the water prior to going in (0830 opening) so that...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 15.7C, partly cloudy & calm. Not much on for today. Just a phone call or two regarding some electrician work at my Church... I'm now the sole "Warden" for this sort of thing and, that's OK, as I've got the time to do it. That's...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.1C and it's presently 9.2C, partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all. This reminded me about something I read on Facebook... and...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 11.3C, somewhat overcast & fairly calm. A bit damp this morning but nothing really in the gauge. A very successful 'into town' yesterday; there were two items to retrieve from the PO = the Government sent me a "poo test kit" to...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 12.4C, mostly cloudy & fairly calm. Gees, that 'shingles' vaccination is an embuggerance. I can use my left shoulder but it's a 'reminding' sore. <sigh> Oh well... It's 'into town' day for a script, something's at the PO...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -2.1C and it's presently 13.1C, clear & calm. Yesterday's Doctor appointment went very well: new scripts and, of course, he wants some 'fasting' blood-work. I also received my 'shingles' vaccine = an uncomfortable left shoulder for a few days...

I understand, Mate. Next 'door' to me is the (affectionally called) "Mad Horse Woman"... and I have the (also affectionally called) "Mad Agisting Horse Woman" [and Daughter] on my property. ;)

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.6C and it's presently 12.2C, fairly clear with a mild breeze. I'm into town just after lunch for a Doctor's appointment; scripts renewal plus I'm getting a 'shingles' vaccination. It's taken quite a while for that 'jab' to become available and I've been...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 11.2C and it's presently 15.8C, somewhat overcast with a bit of a breeze. I'm pretty sure that it's Winter even though the weather these past few days said otherwise. Mind you, Winter is supposed to return tonight & throughout next week...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.4C and it's presently 13.6C, overcast & somewhat calm. There was 4.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Last evening's meeting turned out to be a shared meal as there were only four of us. That's fine, social gatherings are good for the soul. Today's plans are to...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.2C and it's presently 12.6C, overcast with gusting wind. It's currently raining, off and on... I'll check the gauge tomorrow as the precipitation only lightly started around 0800. Yesterday's 'trip into town' was successful... the wine faeries dropped...

I've had a "Tempur" memory-foam mattress for at least 16-17 years and it's just as good as the day I bought it. Yes, it was expensive... but, as it's turned out, very inexpensive for all the years of great sleep that it has provided. It rests on a slat frame.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.6C and it's presently 9.1C, overcast & calm. Yesterday's predicted afternoon rain didn't show up until 0200; it's still raining. There was 11.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's tickets to the 'PostModern Jukebox' concert (20 Feb '25) accomplished...

Buppies, Mate, thanks but this all happened 15 years ago.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 9.7C, overcast & fairly calm. Rain is predicted this arvo. Nothing really planned for today except to purchase a couple of concert tickets for PostModern Jukebox who are touring in Aus in February. I'll need to book flights too...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.4C and it's presently 12.7C mostly clear with a moderate, with the odd gust, wind. There was 1.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. ... which is why Wednesday is 'into town' day for me. Senior's Shopping, all day, for a 5% discount. I do need to get a few...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was, again, 11.1C and it's presently 14.5C, partly cloudy with some gusting wind. There was 6.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Nothing 'pressing' on for today. The shed tank pump seems to be behaving... which means I'll be keeping an 'ear' on the situation. That's...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 13.6C, overcast with wind, occasional gusts. There was 4.3mm in the gauge with showers predicted for the rest of the day. Both tanks are full! Yesterday I took a wander along the horse trough hose line, looking for any indication...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 7.0C [heading to 12C], overcast with increasing wind. There's a gale/wind alert out for the region later on this evening. I can already hear the surf 'roaring' from 7 km away. I'm soon going to have to take a slow wander along the...

Tasmania is an island and a State, so anything else is not 'local'. Bananas come from North N.S.W. or Queensland. :)

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.7C [a bit of frost] and it's presently 12.6C, clear with a gentle breeze. Beautiful day. Yeah, the BoM predicted a near freezing overnight but I guaranteed it occurring by giving myself a #2 haircut yesterday. 😁 That's about it, take care all.

Hang in there Mate.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.1C and it's presently 12.6C, overcast & calm. There was 0.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. There's not much happening 'down here'... which is fine by me. The lagging that was put on the shed tank pump has sure quieted the sound of pump when it engages. Which...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.4C and it's presently 14.3C, lightly overcast/some sun and calm. There was 0.7mm in the gauge @ 0900, all from yesterday arvo. Just as I was about to head into town yesterday my plumber gave me a call. Great timing, especially as it was threatening...

Ensure that your parking brake is engaged and that your gear selector is in the correct 'starting' position. Consult your Owner Manual, perhaps you missed something. My 4105 (hydrostatic) will not turnover if the selector is not exactly in Neutral.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 8.1C and it's presently 10.4C, overcast & calm. There was 3.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. Rain 'called' for the remainder of the day, which is great for re-filling the 'shed tank'. Speaking of which, I called 'my' plumber about the non-urgent burst...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Monday) morning. The 'cold snap' is over; the overnight Low was 4.6C and it's presently 14.0C, overcast with a wee bit of rain. There was 2mm in the gauge @ 0900. So, it's a dhobi day... although there's not much to do there. I'll call my plumber later on to get the burst pipe (out at the...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of -1.7C... which is what it presently is but the sun is rising now so the predicted High will be around 13C. Once again, it's clear & calm & frosty. This 'cold snap' is a result of a big 'High' that's parked itself over Tassie. Apparently it'll finally move...

Good (Saturday) morning. Another frosty overnight Low of -3.1C and it's presently warmed up to 10.3C (predicted High of 13C). Again, it's clear and calm. What with the overnight 'cold snap' I've been having for the past few days, I was keeping an 'ear' on my tank pumps... and, sure enough, the...

^^^ Well, that's what can happen if you neglect proper 'pallet husbandry' practice. Of course, my heart goes out to the flagrant loss of pallets. 💔

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low was another frosty -3.4C and it's presently 8.8C, heading to somewhere around 12C. It's clear and calm. It's blissfully quiet with nothing planned. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Thursday/4th of July) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -3.1C and it's presently warmed up to 9.6C, heading to a predicted 11C. Clear and calm. The liming invoice showed up on my email last evening, so I'll pay that (of course) then divvie-up the bill for the other two to repay me. Yes...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.2C and it's presently 10.9C, overcast & calm. It's 'into town' day for a script at the chemist, some mail and groceries. I also need to stop at the tip as the 'wine bottle faeries' have filled that recycle box up again. That's about it, take care all.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Here's some information from tractordata.com: TractorData.com International Harvester Cub 154 Lo-Boy tractor information Enjoy the site from wherever in the world you are.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of -3.0C (frosty) and it's presently 9.8C, clear & calm. Pretty much a repeat of yesterday. Beautiful, if 'chilly', day. That's about it, take care all.

Well then, perhaps the spring ensures electrical contact; compensating for engine vibration.

Good (Monday/Canada Day) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -1.2C and it's presently warmed up to 10.7C, which will pretty much be the High. It's clear and calm. I still haven't received the invoice for the liming. Not much happening today, just enjoying 'retirement'. (y) That's about it...

Hmmmm... I do know that with my 4105 (hydrostatic) H-N-L; if the selector is not exactly in the N (neutral) position, it will not start. It can be an embuggerance as it 'looks' like it's in N, but isn't. Also, I feel your pain on discovering the hidden grease nipple. My treadle has two of them...

I'd agree that this 'spring' is acting as a "coil resistor".

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.3C and it's presently 5.0C (heading to 12C), fairly clear and calm (at the moment). Typical Sunday, I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low was a very mild [Winter] 10.6C and it's presently 13.5C, overcast and windy. There was 7.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Got some 'tractor fun' in yesterday arvo, chain-harrowing the lime pile residue. Honestly, I reckon I'll need to lightly till to truly get the...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.6C and it's presently 9.3C (perhaps heading to 12C). It's overcast and calm. This arvo's plan is to chain-harrow the area that the lime was piled prior to loading/spreading. That's a good thing as the weather is predicted to change this evening with...

Well, good (Thursday) arvo. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 13.3C, partly cloudy with a breeze. There was 1.5mm in the gauge @ 0730. Early to rise today and performed 'gate preps' in anticipation of the lime spreading happening. And a good thing too as he showed up @ 0805. Short story...

G'day Mate... I've got a slightly similar situation; a wide, wooden 3 step up to a raised living room with all of the steps 'not quite' the same height. I've done two things: 1) I had a carpenter add hand rails (wood to match), and 2) black 'anti-slip' strips towards the edges of the steps...

I second Gee Ray's advice on the rear/corner wheel addition. Mine are hight-adjustable preventing the tines from digging-in.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 6.9C (heading to 13C), partly cloudy & calm. Yesterday's anticipated lime delivery phone call happened = delivery 'sometime' in the morning. So it was "early to bed and early to rise". Delivery Bloke had my mobile number & would...

That's the way to do it, Mate. All of my implements are on wheeled pallets too. You were smart to put down a concrete floor from the beginning.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 11.6C, mostly cloudy & calm. Looks like today will be a repeat of yesterday... waiting for a call regarding the lime being delivered. That's OK as all is prepared for the delivery. I just need to be here IOT warn/direct the...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.5C and it's presently 13.2C, partly cloudy & calm. Yesterday's 'Morning Prayer' Church service went well & the remainder of the day was lovely. Today I plan on keeping close to my mobile phone, although I don't really anticipate the lime delivery to...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.8C and it's presently dipped down to 0.5C (predicted High of 13C), clear & calm. Yesterday's meeting in Ross went well, although the bakery that sells Eccles cakes was shut for the Winter season. It's just as well as I discovered that I'd left my wallet...

Let's try my pussycat, Penelope the Pussybeast. Yep, both words are fine. Perhaps just the word on its own: ***** Well there you go... apparently just the word, singularly, is naughty.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.9C, which is a bit strange because it's presently -1.2C! Mind you the sun is just about to rise... predicted High of 13C. It's clear & calm. I'm up 'early' for a trip to Ross for a meeting @ 1000; leaving in about a half hour. The front...

Good (Friday) morning, on the 'shortest' day of the year. Overnight Low of 1.2C and it's presently 12.8C, mostly clear with a wee breeze. Yesterday's meetings both went well. The trip to Pyengana was a bust as, due to Winter hours, it was closed... oh, well, it's a fun drive. I did manage to...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.6C and it's presently 12.1C, partly cloudy & calm. Received a return call from the Liming contractor last evening... so, at least he hasn't forgotten about us and we're 'in the queue'. At least he gave me a cost for the lime (A$65 per ton), which...

What's wrong with drinking straight from the 'garden hose'? 😁 ---------------------------------------- Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -0.7C and it's presently warmed up to 3.0C, clear and calm. Predicted High of 11C. It's 'into town' day for groceries and I'll probably...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.6C and it's presently 12.1C, partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. I can still hear the surf in the morning. Last evening's meeting went well, and quickly. I was home by 1730. I scheduled a meeting with our Minister for Thursday arvo as, for the first...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 12.8C, fairly clear and the wind has abated to a steady breeze. Wind chill yesterday meant that the house was 'locked up', unless I went outside for a pipe or Penelope the Pussybeast wanted 'out'. I can hear the 'pounding surf'...

I've learnt through use that my 4105 (Tier III) works best at just a titch above 2100rpm, unless PTO operation or 'roading'. Anything more and I'm just wasting diesel. Every individual tractor has a 'sweet spot', rev wise, that needs to be ascertained. Fortunately this 'regen' process is not a...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 8.4C and it's presently 10.4C. That'll pretty much be the High though as I'm in for a blustery day. Overcast too. As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently warmed up to 6.7C [heading to 12C], fairly clear and somewhat calm. Well, the 0815 telephone conference with my Urologist is done & dusted. It actually occurred @ 0820! All's well and he doesn't need to see me anymore. That's...

OOga-Chucka OOga OOga OOga-Chucka...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.5C and it's presently 10.0C, overcast with a light breeze. Just 'tootlin'' along today. Tomorrow I'll need to get my arse out of bed early as my telephone conference with my Urologist has been shifted to 0815... of course, that's "stand by" for the...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

My pipe tobacco brand is "Erinmore Mixture". I use a "Falcon" pipe with a detachable bowl.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of -1.2C and it's presently 8.5C (heading to 13C), clear and calm. Got the wrapping paper at the grocery store, yesterday. So I'll finish the wrapping and head into the PO this arvo. That's about it, take care all. bitumen, tarmac :unsure:

We're going to need to know the tractor model before being able to help with your request.

Ta, Mate. All is very well down here... it's just 'that time of the year' (early Winter) when all of your Spring/Summer preparations 'pay off' for a relaxing time. ;) --------------------------------- So, good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.2C and it's presently 11.4C, clear with a...

Good (Tuesday) morning. A very upside-down overnight Low, down to 2.3C @ 2100 and up to 10.2C @ 0230. It's presently 13.2C, gusty winds, overcast & raining (predicted for the rest of the day). There was 5.2mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. So, it's an 'inside' day. At least the tanks are full...

Good (Monday/King's Birthday holiday) morning. Overnight/early morning Low of -0.7C and it's presently 10.6C, clear & calm. Nothing planned for today. I did a quick check and, once again, I did not make the 'King's Birthday Honours List', so no gong (medal) is coming my way. Just as well as it...

Good stuff and thank you for getting back to us with your result. (y)

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site from wherever in the world you are.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.9C and it's presently 7.1C (heading to 14C), some high cloud & calm. Regarding the San Diego Zoo; It was decades ago when I was once there (Navy port visit). The place is huge and, if you're on foot, would take more than a couple of days to see...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. What you describe is the classic symptom of a biological growth in your fuel tank. I know, as this happened to me. If you put an inspection camera down into your tank, the growth (incorrectly called 'algae') will be at the bottom and will look like...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.0C and it's presently 15.1C, clear & calm. Beautiful day and one that I thoroughly will enjoy, and yes the onion rings were back on the 'shelf' yesterday. 😁 That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.6C and it's presently 13.4C, overcast & fairly calm. Interesting 'telephone conference' with my Urologist... it was "scheduled" for 1715, but I knew that he'd be running late on that time. Short story is that I prepared and ate my supper, watched the...

Thank you for reporting this... I can now relax and, indeed, sleep well tonight. (y)🍨

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.7C and it's presently 14.2C, overcast & calm. Yesterday's 'into town' was successful on practically all accounts. The only disappointment was that frozen onion rings were not available due to a repair being conducted on that freezer. Oh, well, I...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.1C and it's presently 15.2C, lightly overcast & calm. (Edit: I checked my rain gauge this arvo as the Aerodrome reported having a wee bit of rain overnight = sure enough, there was 0.3mm in the gauge) Had a power-outage last night (@ 1735); received...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.4C and it's presently 18.0C, mostly clear & calm. There was 27.8mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. So, weather wise, today is opposite to yesterday... however the ground is very soggy. Fortunately only a few twigs scattered around the property. That's...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 13.0C, overcast, gusting winds & steady rain; there was 18.0mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. It's a misty/fine rain, coming down in 'sheets' due to the wind. And, yes, this was predicted. So, it's an 'inside' day. I'll probably do...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.0C and it's presently warmed up to 0.7C with a predicted High of 13C. It's clear and calm. Penelope the Pussybeast is curled up in front of the woodheater. I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.4C and it's presently 13.2C, clear with a steady breeze. There was 3.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. The Bureau Of Manyguesses got the high winds prediction correct but blew it for the off'n'on rain. I had to put my procrastination on hold as I needed to...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.8C and it's presently 15.7C, mostly overcast with high winds. There was 14.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. The balmy weather as of late is set to end with near freezing temps predicted for tomorrow. I've got so much procrastinating planed for today that I may...

I use a Stihl Tri-blade for my Stihl 'bicycle handled' weed-whacker... mine is utilised for dealing with bracken, which 'eats' a string due to its woody stem. If you've got one, I'd use that. It works great.

Good (Thursday) morning. A very balmy overnight Low of 15C! It's currently 18.6C, slightly overcast and fairly calm. That's going to change this evening with predicted strong winds and overnight rain. Door 'weather strip' properly replaced = scraped, wiped and then an First Aid Kit alcohol wipe...

No worries... tractordata.com is a very handy research website when it comes to finding information and, often, serial number/year. The site also lists 'Industrial', 'Lawn tractor', 'Zero-turn', etc... In your case I Googled "Kubota B20", spotted the tractordata.com result and clicked on it...

G'day mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Tractordata.com = TractorData.com Kubota B20 backhoe-loader tractor information Serial number that you provided (72260?) indicates that it's a 1994 year.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.8C and it's presently 10.0C, somewhat overcast & calm. Hardware store trip resulted in getting the correct type of 'weather stripping'... naturally the "brush type" was what I required and was, of course, the most expensive. The "rubber type" was...

Lest we forget.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 18.0C, fairly clear & calm. Due to the unseasonal 'warm' weather I decided to give myself a haircut yesterday = a #2 all over... I've never been one to have long hair; can't stand it touching my ears. Anyway, today's plan is to...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.7C and it's presently 17.8C. Clear with a breeze. Just tootlin' along... it's that 'time of the year' when nothing pressing is happening. It's the last, official, week of Autumn and the grass is slowly growing so no mowing is planned for quite a while...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a crisp 0.3C and it's presently 'warmed' up to 0.7C, heading to a predicted 15C. Calm & clear. As per usual I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.6C and it's presently 13.5C, clear & fairly calm. A 'smattering' of misty rain yesterday = nothing really in the gauge. A glorious 'no day' is planned for today. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.0C and it's presently 13.5C, partly sunny and calm. There was 12.8mm in the gauge @ 0900 from overnight rain. My trip to the PO yesterday was successful in that everything that I had on order had arrived at the same time = no extra trips to pick up...

They sure were, during my Navy days as an FC Rating (FC = gunFire Control). Not those big though, a destroyer's 3"50cal mounting. And yeah, I got to 'pull the trigger' or 'key'. The smell of cordite is 'intoxicating'. :)

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.6C and it's presently 16.0C, fairly clear & calm. Rain is predicted for this evening. It's 'back into town' again to collect a few PO deliveries. It is a very rare occasion that anything gets directly delivered to "Wagtail Park"... Just the way things...

Kyle, the only advice I can give regarding motivating 'the youth of today' is personal. I have no children myself, but have instructed today's youth. Somehow he needs to have a future goal/interest/career to work towards. My story was that I was a typical "I know it all" teenager. My only...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.8C and it's presently 17.8C, clear & calm. The weatherguessers really got this prediction wrong, but I suppose because it's so nice, no one will notice. :rolleyes: It's 'into town' day for mail/groceries. Yay! That's about it, take care all.

G'day Mate... in my experience, white smoke means that there is water in your fuel. Check your fuel bowl and get some diesel 'biocide' additive into your tractor's tank & into whatever you're using for diesel storage/supply.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.4C (another light frost) and it's presently 13.7C, fairly clear with a wee breeze. Pretty much going to be a repeat of yesterday... the PO texted me that I've got a couple of 'items' to collect. (more wine?) That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.1C (first frost) and it's presently 16.0C, wispy clouds with a gentle breeze. Looks like a 'spruce up the house' day as the cobwebs are getting noticeable. That's about it, take care all.

Regarding 'hospital food' not being the most palatable. The last time that I had to spend a night in a 'private' hospital (post cataract surgery; Dr. needed to see me first thing in the morning.) The meal was not only good, but I requested, and received, a glass of red wine + cheese & crackers...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 7.8C (heading to 14C), partly cloudy and calm. I was amazed that our Newsagency had a choice of two 100th birthday cards. You wouldn't think that they'd stock more than one... reaching 100 must be becoming more common. Anyway, I'm...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. I, too, was a 'noob' when I got my 4105 (hydrostatic) and it took me a bit of experimentation to find the rpm that it works most efficiently at... in my case it's just a wee bit above 2100 (2600-2700 if I'm 'on the road' in 2WD). If I'm working the...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.8C and it's presently 13.3C, high, wispy clouds with occasional wind. No rain yesterday arvo, although it 'threatened' to. It was a quick Parish Council meeting last evening. I took on the task of getting a 100th BD card today for a parishioner. I...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.3C and it's presently 14.7C, overcast a fairly calm. Chance of a wee bit of rain this arvo. Dentist appointment was pretty much an in'n'out occasion. No problems, heck, she didn't need to 'scrape' anything so I must be doing everything right with what...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 16.2C, mostly sunny with a strong breeze. The only thing scheduled for today is a visit to the Dentist (1300), just for a check & clean. My private medical handles that. That's about it, take care all.

Well... 3 out of 4 'aint bad. (upper right is out of alignment) <twitch>

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.8C and it's presently 14.2C, overcast and 'gusty' at times. It's 'into town' day for mail, scripts & groceries. Just enjoying these late-Autumn days. Glad to hear from L4N. (y) That's about it, take care all.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.7C and it's presently 16.3C, fairly clear & calm. There was 1.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. Not much on for today, which is fine by me. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low Of 10.1C and it's presently 16.9C, gentle breeze & mostly cloudy. There was 6.7mm in the gauge @ 0900. Things are a bit soggy outside so it'll be an indoor dhobi day. Due to the weekend's rain I didn't get to see the auroras. Fortunately I have magnificent...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. (I, too, live in the Northeast :D , but I don't reckon it's my Northeast.) Enjoy the site, from wherever in the world you are.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.8C and it's presently 11.2C :oops: , predicted to reach 16C. It's overcast and calm. There was 4.9mm in the gauge @ 0700. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His. Prayers for L4N. That's about it, take care...

Apparently the Aurora Australis was just as spectacular last night. Unfortunately it was all in Southern Tasmania as I was overcast receiving 14mm of rain.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight low of 10.5C and it's presently 15.9C, mostly cloudy & calm. There was 14.5mm in the gauge @ 0900 with a couple of showers since. As mentioned above, there's "No Signal" being displayed on my TV. Thanks to 'daugen' for a possible explanation as I was tempted...

"could be hyped, but biggest in 20 years is pretty big but maybe it's on other side of world??" ------------------------- Hmmm... Perhaps that is why I have "No Signal" on my TV this morning? All of the connections are good and there's been no power outages (presumably no 'spikes' either)...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.8C and it's presently 15.5C, overcast with rain & calm. There was 29.7mm in the gauge @ 0900. The tanks are more than full. I did receive a call back from the liming bloke. Short story is that he'll send me an estimate and should get around to 'us' in...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11C and it's presently 17.2C, overcast with drizzle & calm. There was 2.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. I've already been & back from the consulting offices at the Base Hospital for my 3 monthly podiatrist appointment... mainly toenail cutting (type II...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low was a mild 10.5C and it's presently 16C, mostly overcast & calm. Rain is predicted later on. Yesterday's puttering was put on hold as a burst of energy occurred... I gave a few trees a 'haircut' of low branches that tended to knock my cap & ear-defenders...

You're not alone in that, Mate. I bought a package of assorted fuses, as 'ready spares', for my 4105, only to discover that it required those mini types. The more you know, eh?

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.0C and it's presently 17.9C, clear & calm. Yesterday's 'puttering' went so well that I plan on doing it again. (practice makes perfect) I do have to 'queue up' a couple of neighbours to confirm that they want their paddocks limed, then I can call to...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.7C and it's presently 17.7C, clear & calm. It's pretty much a 'putter' day... just the way I like it. That's about it, take care all.
