62 outside this AM, heading to lower 70's. 90% humidity. Rain in the area. Just not here. In catchup mode. MX still broke. Found alternator belt wrapped on lower pully. Not much room to see or work in there. Attempted to get it back on, is frayed. Even with alternator loose, not enough space...

47 outside this AM. Yep...47. Feels like 47. Heading to lower 80's. 90% humidity. On a rescue mission this AM for the MX. Managed to get the branch out of the pully and belts it was speared into. Sheesh. Must have caught it in reverse. I'll have to disassemble the side panel to get up in...

Sounds like we should have stayed off tractors today.

Calling it a day. While doing trail maintenance with MX a tree branch popped up and skewered the engine compartment on the drivers side. Wedged between the belts and what not. Looks like I lost the alternator belt altogether. No telling what else is damaged. Only battery warning and some engine...

LOL. Your better off eating your pet gold fish. Oh, wait, there is a relationship there between them...LOL.

55 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's. 76% humidity. Fall weather for sure. No rain, none in the forecast for the next week. All grasses are beyond crunchy. It's dusty. Yesterday while cleaning out an outbuilding, trying to find more under roof space, I found a toilet. Still in the box...

Refineries of which the US has precious few. And even though based in the US, I think a few are foreign owned.

58 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. 86% humidity. Went looking for a camper with and for the daughter yesterday. She is thinking about heading out west in a few months. It was fun looking at all the various setups and the technology now-a-days. Mini-mobile homes with lots of "city"...

Ukrainian attack?

At least it sounds like you did not try to taste it. Natural reflex and what not.... Ugh.

68 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. 86% humidity. No rain these last few days. Got real close one day, could smell it in the air. No joy. We started putting hay out for the horses, 20 acres of pastures ...poof...nothing to eat. Have another 10 that's been set aside for next year, but...

re -.1 definitely a lean to.

Maybe in more modern American times. Say circa, 1970's. Check this short abstract out: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/punishment-expression-history-tattoos-corrections In Japan and Russia, much, much earlier. I filled up yesterday under 3.65 a gallon. Using discount...

I find it amusing that - "winey" L i b e r a l. And the fact that you have to interject your political leanings in most any subject.

Actually I was shocked that they are not covered up. But then I have a problem with brown shoes and blue suits. LOL. But where I frequent, it's all about experience, skill and getting the job done.

LOL.

Broad brush stroke. I know plenty of white collar workers who sport tattoo's. I'd say some people are more open to seeking talent, skill and personality...than looks. It's all about being an individual to me.

With Saudi and Russia pressuring the market, expect oil price increases. Also expect the big oil companies to start more production ramp up with those turn of events. They have their sweet spot for making more money. It's coming soon.

OP, where are you at? What state? I would get a Bush Hog and a Rake. And if you are close to VA, you can take a look at mine. :) Both are 7 foot. New 2 years ago.

66 outside this AM, heading to 90. 89% humidity. Trying to get back in touch with plumber, more details needed on estimate and get dates set. Nothing on the agenda, just trying to stay out of trouble and work as much as possible. Made a paw paw harvest the other day, enough for a few loafs...

70 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 91% humidity. Day to remember.

Plenty of jobs out there.

You complain about high prices and an overpaid work force? So why can't people afford stuff if they are overpaid?

GM has been very good to me. Chevy too. Luck of the draw...or assembly. Lol.

67 outside right now, may touch 80. 97% humidity. Nice and grey outside. No rain. Yesterday a few big rain drops inside of one minute. Did not even cover the patio. Storms moved west and east of us. Unreal. I say that, but it is normal for my area to get between thunder cells a lot. Hope all...

Wow...I actually smell water in the air. Reminds me of coming home from the desert. Maybe....maybe it may rain.....

Wind..thunder...and no rain. Seems to be a few miles east of us.. yesterday it was west. Been putzing around most of the AM. Sitting on the front porch drinking water...hoping for rain. Probably will close pool next week for season...no rain...not using well to keep the water level up. Crazy...

It's been a shell game for a few decades. Or do you think massive deficit spending just happened in the last seven years?

67 outside this AM. Heading to upper 80's. 91% humidity. Storms moved through the area last night. Train effect north and west of us. They got a lot of rain. I just watched the wind, lightning and thunder pass us by. Rain chances diminishing for us today, too. Hope all have a great weekend. Be...

I have trucks for safety and hauling chores. Both business and personal reasons. That daily driver may be multi purpose. Who knows.

Supply and demand. Look for who controls the supply...including final product.

I make sure my wife is in a good mood and the tractor is running right when I work the chains. 'cause...you know. She knows how-to use the FEL.

67 outside this AM, Heading to lower 90's. 95% humidity. This weather pattern needs to break. Maybe later today. Rain is forecast. Remaining hopeful about that. Hope all have a great weekend, be safe. Those ailing, here is hoping you feel better and heal sooner. Lots of hope in the post....

Good evening. Wind...thunder...no rain. Wow. Chased me in from outside. I will grab an ice cream some cool whip...water...and watch part of the NFL kickoff. Hope for rain overnight or tomorrow. Have a pleasant evening..all.

You have a spare in your vehicle? That's old school. :)

Like I said in my area it is industrial parks, data centers, and high end residential housing. I attribute the wealth growth to the high end residential developments. The developments, a social experiment with those of wealth seeking more "space". In of itself, "space" is a concern for power. A...

Maybe the grasses closer? That tree line seems far off for a trigger.

You can replace Texas with most any growth area. Here in VA, Data Centers and residential developments in my area have completely outpaced infrastructure. Yet the planning commissions approve both with nary a voice from the Power Companies until the very end of the process. And getting more...

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. 89% humidity. Rain chances all but evaporated for today, maybe tomorrow. Storm front moving through. It's getting really bad, drought wise. Looking at the landscape you can really tell the difference. Hope all have a great day today. Be safe. Take care...

We have a myriad of ways to get you to cooperate in giving up your property for a price or purpose in Virginia. LOL. It's all good, but you know...governments and the individual and all that. You have to read the fine print. Heck some of the organizations in VA will actually point you to another...

Calling it a day. Dump runs were brutal. Had 15 bags of debris, each got heavier as I moved along getting them into and out of the truck, then lifting into the dumpsters. I had thought I kept each bag under 50 pounds. LOL. Sure did not seem that way. I used horse feed bags. Nice mesh bag that...

Both and classic tractors too. All three.

It probably is the concrete. I poured some new bag stuff. Drilled in it for reinforced wall work. Like hot knife through butter. Old original stuff.... no joy.

I ended up at Home Depot for that part of the project. Looking for a drill bit that would get through concrete, steel mesh, 100 year old oak boards. After the concrete, whatever I bought was trashed..... it was supposed to handle all that material. It did not. Good luck to you. I think I have...

I have a sneaky suspicion it will be like the summer pattern. It will be extreme and sudden. Like such a nice mild winters day to where is my door to the house.

What sea2summit said. We are participating in a portion of an easement. Portion I say because there are so many programs with various degrees and stipulations of what is expected when. Working with your local extension office AND local governments "Department of Natural Resources" AND perhaps...

Yeah, you made that clear. Your feelings taking over your wallet. Wake up. LOL.

67 outside this AM. Heading to upper 90's. 91% humidity. Nice fog bank over the front pastures. Area under extreme draught conditions now. My friends sent pictures of the river not 40 minutes south of us, they can walk across it to the other bank. Not good. Our creek in the back is bone dry...

Yes, you are correct. Out of my pay league. Welding and recharging.

Hurt feelings over taste. LOL.

Hey, I am not in the import/export business. LOL. Why did my name come up?

So far I am super pleased with our Mr. Cool. It was their smallest unit and ended up in the Milk House. It is like walking into a beer refrigerator and is noticeably chilly. LOL. I do have about 8-10 feet of refrigerant line though in excess, coiled up. I'd like to remove that excess one day.

67 outside this AM, heading to upper 90's. 92% humidity. Yesterday was a record high. Today probably will be too. Heat index both days, over 102. Roofer is not done. Should be by the end of the day. Patch looks great, just needs the top edge line folded. Turns out he lives up the road. Common...

I tolerate Lima Beans. :)

67 outside this AM. Will get into the upper 90's lat. 91% humidity. Managed to last about 10 minutes in the Milk House attic yesterday. Too hot. Got the rest of the chimney support wall down, and cleaned out the bricks. Wife helped, she lasted about 20 minutes before she took off to the house...

66 outside right now, heading to mid 90's. 88% humidity. A far cry from yesterdays most awesome weather. Looks like this week is going to be a hot one. Sigh. Need rain. Officially in a declared drought now. I think we are 5 inches below where we should be. Everything in my area is crispy and...

My equipment is an investment in saving my health.

It was well kept. Looked like last tags were 1993. Inspection or some sort of tax tag... Without a decent garage here...no more toys. Lol.

Yep. Mortar mix to the mesh on two sides. Mesh attached to wood. A couple of true 2x10s holding it up. When I got to the bottom...5 whacks with the sledge hammer to get the last bricks to cave in. Built really well.

It Is down. As am I. Lol. Have quite a mess to move out.

Ten grand or obo..did not ask if it still runs. I think it was a 27.

73 outside right now. Heading to mid 80's. 59% humidity. Absolutely perfect start this AM. Late start on the chores and getting out of bed. Super rare to go past 5AM. This morning it was 8AM. Hope the morning crew heals and repairs things fast. We all have those days where either mother nature...

Hammer...chisel...and when not space constrained...sledge hammer. The bricks are actually easier than the walls that are parged cement of some sort. Not too many left now...but I ran out of steam cutting the cement walls to get at them. Chimney is left of lights in pic. Hollow area under...

58 outside this AM, sweet. Be lucky to touch 80 today. 68% humidity. Nice. With this agreeable weather, I might break out the lawn equipment. The grasses are all in different stages of dormancy. Ranging from dead to five inches of new growth. LOL. Talk about spotty. More chimney work today...

Crawled up in the attic....got chimney to attic floor. All I need to do now is cut the concrete walls in the room below and take out maybe four or five more feet of brick. RTV ride to the dead brick pile. Roofer coming over the holiday for the patch. Yippie.

65 outside right now, heading to low 80's. 65% humidity. Looks like a nice day on tap for this area. Will crawl up in the attic of the Milk House shortly and start more chimney removal. Nothing else on the agenda. Need to get the insurance company straight (so frustrating) on PT coverage for...

Took the day off and made it a date day with the wife. Then watched the sun go down. Hope all had a productive day. Good evening...all.

Present

Check out Wingsuits. Most fascinating.

70 outside right now, heading to upper 80's. 98% humidity. Slight, ever so, rain. Is there a term right below drizzle but above fog? Hope all have a great day today. Be safe. Those ailing, best wishes for better health.

Gunk in your fuel lines? I think you said you cleaned the tank...lines too?

You have to appreciate small businesses. It's always been tough. Friend of mine opened a pizzeria. Amazing food, good manager, hard time attracting and keeping staff. The margins are paper thin. Wants to grow, back to the staffing issues. If it is not the product that kills the business, it is...

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

70 outside this AM. Lower 80's expected. 96% humidity. We need rain. Still sore from chimney roof work. Maybe by the end of the week I can move normally again. I have a window of decent weather within the next week to work with. Does not look to be super hot, which is good for attic work...

Just because you have a "new" ECU doesn't mean it was programmed correctly. Sounds like at least they are aware of the issue and trying to deal with it. Best of luck! Keep pressing them.

72 outside this AM. May touch 80. 91% humidity. Maybe some rain later. Hopefully. Busy weekend. But I did manage to get up on the roof of the Milk House and remove part of the chimney to below the roof line. Unfortunately it was exhausting. Legs all bent out of normal directions, hip, knees...

72 outside this AM, heading to 90. 90% humidity. All my fences are on the insides of my property lines. One borders about 1400 feet of public road, the others are all set either inside acreage or set back from conservation easements. Our rain events yesterday were a bust. Hope all have a...

But if I cut a quarter of the half on both sides of the fence, I can return to the point of origin to refuel and reload. Then I can approach the uncut area from a different direction and I should have the results I need. The problem is - Heat, fries the brain and I get lazy in hopping the...

The aggrieved victimhood and perceived impending doom is inherent to the person. People have a choice. "Scoring" is what one makes of it. Or does one think that does not happen in everyday person to person interactions?

Yeah, but if I am carrying something, I'd like to use it. There must be some math involved in this scenario with the weed whacker cause I find myself in the middle of no where with no supplies and less energy. After all these years you would have thought I'd have figured it out. At least if I...

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. 94% humidity. Just started to sprinkle a minute ago. Can use the rain. Walked with the weed whacker for a good part of yesterday. Ran out of gas before I ran out of energy. Had to make the trek back to the house being unproductive just lugging the...

I take the time to thank people for deeds and services. I also make a habit of informing their boss or whomever is or could be their superior.

65 outside this AM. It might get to 80 today. 81% humidity. Maybe some rain later, maybe. Roofer stopped by, seemed enthusiastic. No issues with what we wanted done. Waiting on estimate and if OK, scheduling. Let's hope that works out. Looks like I will be tearing down the chimney after all...

There are many levels of "tech savvy". I know of many techno peasants. LOL. The masses just need to be aware of tech, understanding and working with it/or against it, depends on the person and situation. IMHO.

54 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 91% humidity. Rain may be moving in tonight and for Thursday/Friday. We could use it, bone dry, crunchy vegetation. I recall whining about grass a week or two ago. Mother Nature sure throws change ups. Kyle, hope for the better, I think time is the enemy...

Ahh....sounds like writing is on the wall. You have other options or networks in the mix?

Good luck with that. 4 inches seems like a lot of fluid. Maybe a water main line, supply line break?

For some, yes. For others, maybe not. Depends where one is in life.

77 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 78% humidity. Back to auto-pilot at day job. Nothing on the agenda today, maybe some more weed whacking. Although the grass is really drying out and has turned crunchy in spots. Creek still flowing, but barely. Hope all have a great day, be safe...

Hemp for both wood and plastic substitutes.

At work, I managed to see her in an office. Being bold I went right through a restricted area to ask her out for lunch. My co-workers then decided to lock me out of my escape path and turn the alarms on. She said yes, showed me how to get out of her office. We dated for about a year after that...

66 outside this AM, heading to lower 90's. 97% humidity. As of about 45 minutes ago, it is a definite Monday at the day job. Like a switch we go from auto-pilot to full control. But not in a good way. LOL. Yesterday the wife and I ran some errands and stopped by a favorite eatery for lunch. We...

What are the rpms when it is happening?

Yeah. Last I heard here...they want 20 acres and ag proof of income. The 20 is going through the appeals zoning processes. Our big deal is pitting old farmers against old money.

Everything in my area I measure by time of travel. A mile can take you an hour, sometimes. :) One of my dealers closed a while back. 45 minutes away. The one I am dealing with now 45 minutes to 1 hour away. Next Kubota dealer, 2 hours 20 minutes away. Nearest John Deere, 30 minutes away. JD...

55 outside this AM, heading for mid 80's. 90% humidity. Grass and weed whacking are the agenda. Dump and pool chemical run if the day moves along. Hope all have a good start to the weekend, be safe. And a run of good luck is in order for all!

Sounds like me, I have a bad case of the Mondays, every day. At least you meet/met. :) Usually when I get tasked with a new work order, it is because it is, shall we say....something is failing. This week has been interesting, we have very detailed requirements on what we need to perform...

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 87% humidity. Long week, TGIF. Started to reassert control over the yard last evening. LOL. Maybe by the end of the day, today, we will have one. Another groundhog dispatched to the Marine Corp. Lucky number 7. Hope all have a great day. Be safe...

Three full percentage points lower than what I got when I started out. I think people were of the mind set that rates would be low and never change. Forever....

Just learned our close by Solar Farm was voted down by the county supervisors. Final nail. "Not in accordance to the comprehensive plan". "In contradiction to preserve farmland and open space". I don't think it will be appealed. Further. The parcels have sat vacant for years, they have not...

67 outside right now, heading to mid 80's. 93% humidity. Nice large fog bank over pastures this AM. Low and thin, but cannot see the animals. Yet. Trip to city was a success, grabbed what I needed. Took in a sandwich at a corner cafe and watched the rat race move on by at around lunch. Don't...

65 outside this AM, heading into the mid 80's. 90% humidity this AM. Fog bank over the pastures. Day job called, need to head into the city this AM. Stress factor is on, big boss needs lots of information, of course turn around time is tighter than tight. Got lots of little projects going on...

I would like to get back what I put into them. Well cared for equipment...sells fast and for a good price.

Add in a virtual machine or two and you are good to go.

...BE my...lol

Have to ask, how is the a/c in your MX holding up?

My previous house we weathered a storm that produced a big bolt that shook the house. I checked everything, all appeared OK. Then I heard the sirens going off at the local FD. A few minutes later, someone was knocking on our front door. "Do you know your woods are on fire?" I peek behind the...

On the hornets, we used a local company, that is now part of Orkin. We dropped them (Orkin) about a week ago for coverage. Had termite and inspection services. I guess any licensed pest control company can do the dusting. He showed up, I pointed to the hole, he agreed that was the nest. He put...

I take a blower to my equipment after use. On the tractor, it's needed due to it sucking in dust and grasses when cutting anyway. Heavy use, all equipment gets washed down. Kind of makes sure everything is OK for the next run when drying.

Supply and demand. We have seen the bird flu story before. I think it is just an excuse for poor marketing projections on consumption.

We have metal roofs on all our buildings except one. Some are over 100 years old and still sound. Standing seam on all the metal ones, including the newest ones that were replaced. Takes a little more time to do. Looks awesome, sounds better. IMHO, metal is the way to go. Your house will...

The chimney is not up to today's code, obviously. I forget what they call this type of construction. They are to be removed if work is needed. My problem is one of space in the room in the picture. I need that corner wall gone for a water heater and plumbing. The opening is just under 24...

74 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 93% humidity. Had some serious gully washers move through the area late yesterday. Missed us, but lots of flash flooding all around the area, including DC. Really not good. Maybe more on tap later today. Hope all have a great day today. Be safe.

Sorry but LOL on the European hornets. You know I dealt with them in the Milk House. A entomologist friend just said "professional" when I said how to deal with them. Did the spray and foam treatments to no avail. Called in a pro who dusted them. End of them in a day. I posted pics of their...

66 outside this AM, upper 80's expected today. 69% humidity. Nice fog bank over the pastures this AM. I took a closer look at the chimney yesterday on the Milk House. With a ladder. It's built pretty tough. Still in good shape as none of the bricks were loose. Cut into the concrete wall on the...

allenport, do not despair. Plenty of people here have excellent experiences and can aid you in your issues. We all learn as we go. Good luck with the latest.

83 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. 63% humidity. Soaked t-Shirt already just doing morning chores. Hope all have a great day, try and take it easy. Be safe.

On lobster...at a work location in the middle east.. the local Safeway carried them. They were cheap too. I ate them till I was sick of them. Not kiddling... steak and lobster.. steak and lobster....till blah.. LOL. Anyone tried Monk Fish? Supposed to be poor man's lobster. Grilled it a few...

Air filter? My lawn mower did that. Looked clean...I replaced it and woha...

Maybe talk with your local Fire Department for a controlled burn? You have a lot of material. A lot. With the recent events regarding fires, perhaps with this large mass a training event with multiple departments may help your predicament.

66 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. Enjoying first cup of coffee on Front Porch. Need to climb up on ladder today and see the state of the Milk House chimney bricks. Will see how difficult it will be to take down. And, will move some material to the brush pile that has started up again...

Maybe they ate their catch instead of taking them to market? LOL.

64 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Nice fog bank over the pastures this AM. Have the annual inspection for the conservation/easement people this AM. They want to make sure my animals are not in the creek water. I'll probably have to explain those are my neighbors cows. LOL (sort of)...

Rare sight so far here this year. Turkey and deer populations seem down too.

JM quotes gives one context into what is written in States and the Republics Constitution. At the crux of this issue is two (or more) opposing views of property rights and indeed the individuals rights.

The complainers property rights. Specifically I am thinking environmental degradation. “...as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.” - James Madison

So how does the guy with the nose/smell issue not fit into this? He feels his rights are being infringed upon too.

Over 300 trees is dozer calls for a dozer. That's like way beyond working a chain saw for firewood. Maybe a select few trees, but you are looking at a lot of work. And factor in the terrain and tree mix, both variety and tanglement ..... that's a lot of work....

The horse hay market can be very lucrative if you get the right clientele. Sorry to say, but the round bales would not attract the type of customer in horses that would make your day. You have to get a really good feel for your marketing and customer base if you want to deal with horse...

Nice.

Round bale.... horse hay??? Ya...those are destine for field feeding. Stick them on some lumber or pallets and cover lightly with something... If they are not in a shelter, it is a race against time for "horse" hay.

What about the bottom? That dog not digging yet? I have some pics of a setup similar to yours in the back. The devil dogs that occupied it, sadly are no longer with us. The "game" of who was smarter or stronger on pens and fencing took years. LOL. Only father time deterred them from further...

Mine is accurate to about ---- 10 feet. LOL. Seriously, when you see the BB arching towards the target, or going far wide, it is time for a more serious deterrent. LOL.

71 outside this AM, may touch 80 today. Rain expected this afternoon. Got another tick off last night. Wonder if the uptick (no pun there) is due to the grass not being lower or the dog coming into the house more. Usually I get one or two a year. This is averaging one a day. Roofer coming by...

He went through fire issues around this time two years ago. Hope all is well.

We had a one pump rule on the Crossman. Still, that whole adventure ended rather abruptly. LOL.

Glad your power is back. That was quite a storm, for this area.

I just found this, funny. So what is the dog trying to tell you. It's HIS property? Or something else? :)

Swimming pool noodles make for great covers on stuff that you don't want to scratch up. You can also cut the foam to hold things in place a little better, And they come in a variety of awesome well seen colors. LOL. I had some on my RTV in case I got it lost in the woods. LOL.

Where ever you take it. Long life too! :) Kind of expensive to maintain though.

Define farm country? Here I am zoned AG. My next door neighbors are all rural residential. We both are considered "farm country". Animal control works on both our properties, I guess it is a local thing. They even help round up wayward cows on the road, as do the Police. And yes, they do take...

Call animal control and have them trap or catch the dogs on your property?

61 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Rain expected tomorrow. Played pickup sticks with the wife yesterday. New burn pile started. Need to remind myself not to let it get so big. Managed to be awed by lots of butterflies on the trail with the wife. They were dancing around her like they...

Voltage issue? Battery checks out fine. Fuses check out too.

Factory.

The wife has had good results with Facebook Marketplace. She can scope out potential buyers and sellers info more readily. So I will have to agree. Me, I don't use anything but the iron and equipment web sites, and local stuff is a rare find on them. Seems like a good business op for someone...

Yikes. Hope things get better. Am with Lou, get the lottery ticket.

RNG, ya gotta be happy. It's a big deal.

How about - intolerable consequences for any persons bad behavior. To include frivolous law suits.

Quite a few people had to be rescued from that mess. Tens of thousands still without power. Good luck to you and hoping it comes back faster than expected.

Engage just above idle. The new clutch went out at 15 minutes in the middle of mowing. Just like the original clutch did. The dealer is coming back to pick it up later this week.

65 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. Storms came through yesterday and last night in about three waves. Lots of sticks to pick up today, a few branches to cut with the chain saw, and a pool to clean. No big deal. Lots of rain, in short bursts. Really pretty sky yesterday in spots as the...

Good luck. Hope your power comes back soonest. Just blew through here. Pretty impressive.

Like the theme from Jaws. Huge difference in my sky line views. Weather people are freaking out. Overly excited.

Good luck on digging into the hot tub. Not to be a negative nelly, one I had sprung a leak, pipe actually gave way at joint. Patched it, and then another gave way. Seems the hot water and chemical mix, over time, degraded the pipes. I tried to make a fish pond out of it after that. Found out...

Well, severe weather moving into the area. Alerts are up all over the place and the FED has decided to abandon all locations in and around the city. It's every man and woman for themselves with early dismissal. (Hint: Staggering when to leave, never works). LOL. Guess I will go secure the...

Does it go the other way around? When the new homeowner brings their suburbia crap noises to the farm?

Had to call roofer and ask where they were at. Some big job elsewhere, says his schedule was not working. Yeah, this guy got six figures from me this year. WTH. Called the Kubota dealer, cannot come to pick it up before Friday. First thing they say is well you did not replace the switch we...

72 outside this AM, may hit 90's today. tStorms expected later. Not much of anything going on, got some roofers coming by to give me an estimate on patching the Milk House chimney hole. They will probably say, replace the roof. The tin is 100 years old, I have some of the same material laying...

Have not had any battery issues. Starts right up. Will let the dealer figure it out. Maybe...maybe a bad clutch .....annoying. Sitting watching my burn pile smoke...listening to tunes. Wife fed it greens earlier. And now.. Back to a size that can be managed. LOL.

65 outside this AM, may touch 90 today with tStorms expected later. Looks like the US Women just lost. Wow. Expectations were a lot higher. ZTR clutch went out yesterday after maybe 15 minutes. Not a happy camper, dealer was closed. Will have to address tomorrow. Disappointed for sure. Checked...

65 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Like in may hit 90. Cannot see outside this AM. Nice blanket of fog. 095 line in the weed whacker was an OMG moment. Perfect for my fence lines. It was a real difference maker. Spent a lot of time with the plumber on the Milk House. Looks like I will...

Neighbors I consider as someone next door or a lot over. I thought the OP stated they were down the road a ways. Frivolous. If they were annoyed they should have taken it up in person first. Even by mail, if needed. I believe in karma. One day they will reap what they sow. How do they know...

Any sort of tile that is easy to work with. (less cuts the better) LOL.

Pet horse "farms"? Horses can be a hobby or a business. I never really heard someone claim a horse as a pet. Farms around here are zoned ag. Usually a business venture.

Ugh... I have nothing to add. Zoning issues maybe. My plots boarder Rural Residential parcels, we are zoned Agricultural. The differences of what you can and cannot do on your property are vast. Good luck, please keep us posted. IMHO, this is a frivolous law suit on their part.

65 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. Getting a taste of Fall these past few mornings. Nothing on the agenda today, just busy stuff. Contractors stopping by for looks and ideas on plumbing to and from Milk House. ZTR coming back. I took the bushhog to parts of the back yesterday. Hope to...

Same. 150 in HS. I got no butt now...ain't from management or the wife.

RTV at work...

Never understood BMI. I could add 10 to 15 pounds and be happy.

All this talk of endurance, heart rates and diet. Good stuff. I had an experience the other day with stairs. I used to take about seven (7) flights of stairs 3 or 4 times a day, five (5) days a week. I get walking in to about five (5) miles a day. That did not stop. The stairs did, a while...

I had the experience in a foreign country of asking what I was eating, I had been a regular at a food stop for a long while. I told the person to make me something special and good. It was fabulous, I had to ask.... ...lamb brains...then I looked at it, yep...brains....sigh. I did try it a...

Yep, Reviews, too. All paths lead to the forum list.......

No, that also gives me a forum listing. More attune to what I follow in the forums. The Home Page used to be the landing spot that had members of the month on it and various intro videos like "tractors in trouble" and of course, advertisers.

I clicked on a members link to "member of the month" or something like that, also tried getting to the Home Page, all efforts redirect to the forums listing. tractorbynet.com/forums I cannot seem to get to the Home Page no matter what I try.

62 outside right now, heading to mid 80's. Rain chances are in the 20 percent chance range. Thinking of you Buppies. 70k for a 3/4 truck is about right. We retooled our line up a few years ago with the Wifes 1500 and 2500HD. Rather pricey and well neither are towing anything right now. LOL...

Bought one of the first RTVs introduced. 20plus years ago? Most used and appreciated piece of equipment we own. Echo sediments of others on speed. Rare to go into high gear. Pedals are just fine. No issues there.

Sounds like my experience so far. Shopping around not going well. Few technical difficulties, (unacceptable IMHO), and a few rejects (without an explanation), and a few price quotes that are twice what we are paying now?????? WTH. Crazy, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It seems Mother Nature times rain delivery as to encourage weekly mowing, here. Last year I can recall whining about the grass, it being green and needing attention every week. Same this year, just looking out the front, nice and green. The back....more than six inches high already. And thank...

58 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. Smokey skies yesterday, obscured evening activities, like the NASA rocket launch. Sigh....star gazing also put somewhat on hold...sigh... So we had the septic guy come out again, needs to run a laser to see if we have enough fall for the Milk House...

Have to laugh. Hot metal! So with the circular saw, the fine tooth blade, blade NOT backwards, seems to have eliminated most sparks. Noise however, WOW. Loud. I managed to lay my panels on a concrete slab, upside down. So the somewhat flatter service was available for the saw to engage more...

Nice pic, not of the bug. Very serene and inviting. So far our deer and turkey population seem way down. Usually I can count between 10 and 20 deer roaming the property and between 20 and 40 turkeys. Last night (been noticing for months) and yesterday AM, 1 deer and 3 turkeys. Hope it is just...

RNG and maybe Ron, I just cut a lot of metal galvalume panels using a circular saw and a 70 tooth carbide blade. Be sure to wear plenty of eye protection, and well after the experience, probably a full face shield and long a sleeve shirt.

59 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. A really nice day for yard work. LOL. Yesterday I managed to get that branch that had fallen out of the tree line. Quite snagged and tangled up amongst other branches and still somewhat attached to the tree. 25 feet up. Shocked. What a mess. I ended up...

Paul Reubens "Pee Wee Herman" dead at 70.

Had a dumpster here a few years back when I "re-modelled" the front porch. Best move EVER. When you have something big available for removal, it was like a light switch came on. The wife actually drove up to it towards the end of the fill up and smashed stuff down with the tractor FEL. That...

64 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Should be a really nice day. Weather wise. Did some weed whacking and tractor work yesterday, then for the first time this year, spent some quality time in the pool. And I was not cleaning it. Water was like...perfect....ahhhh..... Last evening as I...

72 outside this AM. Heading to upper 80's. Had some nasty t-Storms push through the general area last night. They missed us, but did some widespread damage all around. Late evening I heard almost 200,000 without power just north of us and into the greater DC proper. Got to be rough in these heat...

74 outside this AM, 99 expected. Heat indexes again in the low 100's. Have lots of pick up sticks today, that and the chain saw. Another walnut tree shed a branch. I was no where near it this time. Thank goodness. Got most of the shopping done yesterday. Also managed a dump run. Off to the...

I am lost. Sorry, which way are you going? Are you going from your iPhone to the PC? Because you were wanting to move your files to another cellular device, I thought. I had thought you could tether the iPhone and the PC via USB. If dates were the issue on the PC, robocopy can either keep...

My wife is an avid photographer. I use a windows based file system for network storage. Have you tried the windows based utility robocopy? It allows for preservation of date and times.

Next.

Well... I think we all feel like wet toast or somefink. (Internet joke for old timers). Wow. This weather minus the humidity brings back my desert days. It is 72 outside this AM. Heading to 100. With humidity right now at 94 percent. It is NOT raining. There is a nice low dew/fog line over the...

C) We set standards and expect others to adopt, adapt and/or follow.

Dang Tinhack, glad for your outcome. Wow.

Likewise. Since the wife machine was new a few years back, the regen time is creeping upward. I'd say it is past 60 now. I used to pay attention to the cycle, now, well, I just run it. When I get the chance. LOL. Still need to get the a/c looked at though....

Finding a good accountant is the way. Especially for start-up costs and depreciation of equipment, both start-up and prior purchases. If you purchased something before you set up your business, that you’re now using for your business, you can depreciate it based on the fair market value when...

74 outside right now. Heading to upper 90's. Weather advisory here, (heat and humidity), some are claiming the index will be in the low 100's. I don't really recall what I did yesterday, just mundane everyday chores and some running around. I recall washing the wife's truck and realizing...

LLC is the way. Whatever you purchase for the business is tax deductible. You can also tie equipment to the LLC and deduct them based on cost and or condition. Be careful with insurance though. Have clear separations between what is personal and what is business.
