48 degrees this morning and heading to the mid 70's today. Wrapping up our last weekend at camp and will close down on Sunday.

Tough waking up to this every morning!

28 degrees in Arlington this morning and 10 degrees at home. We will be home around noon time and we had fun down here The cherry blossoms are starting! Roy I think you will do just fine HP with the blower plus the wider cut means larger walkways!

-3 degrees this morning and they say it is going to be tough to reach 20 today End of the week sounds great with chance for temps in the 40's

11 degrees this morning and heading toward the mid 30's today. We ended with slightly over 12" of snow and could get 1 - 4 inches today Spring is getting closer!

We just installed a new Vermont Castings Defiant and it is really working fine for us. It replaced an older Vermont Castings stove and we wanted to use the same type of stove as we like the size of the fire box, that it is top loading, has a separate ash pan for removing the ashes and the...

Had the knee replacement on Monday morning and they had me up and putting weight on it that afternoon Tuesday was walking day and just doing the stretch exercises. By midnight the nerve block had fully departed and I knew the sudden pain they had told me about. Today we will be doing stair...

Nice story Larro! This bear, scare face comes every year to get the bird seeds. One has to wonder how something that weighs over 300 pounds can gain weight eating a pound or so of bird seed. He's a smart one though and we put up with him for sure. Very little posted land around us and we let...

Here are some pictures of our friends that show up from time to time The first two pictures are of a bear that has come by here for the past four years, we call him scare face He is well over 300 pounds! The last picture is a smaller bear that showed up this fall and I think it is the same one...

Mine is a 1960 it's been refinished/ restored and I have to redo the seats this winter or spring. Used plywood first time around and the plywood delaminates. Will use marine plywood this time around. It has a 40 Johnson motor and runs right along.

Maltby enjoying a nap and dreaming of woodcock hunting,

Maltby resting up for bird hunting!

I am not sure how many of you served in the military, but I went in the Army back in 1967 and stayed in until 1976. I remember coming back to the states in 1970 and just before departing we were told we did not have to wear our Class A uniform due to all of the problems with hecklers coming...

Maltby enjoying a sleep in our bed at the camp in the mountains. We closed down this week so no more time up there until next spring.

I agree with Roy name something else you own that is 30 odd year old and needs parts! We run our stove at home all winter and stay very warm. Like anything else there is annual maintenance to keep it working properly. I like the defiant mainly for the ash pan and ease of emptying. I guess it...

Well we have canned 24 quarts of peaches, froze around 100 quarts of raspberries 50 quarts of blackberries so I think we will have pies this winter. Wife has also made around 200 jars of raspberry jam to be given out at our daughters weeding in October, busy woman!

Early morning in the mountains

We have had the same bear coming by our house for the past three years. It has gotten bigger and also smarter. Loves our bird feeders and has figured out how we have them installed. You can see that he was smart enough to shake the cable instead of trying to jump up and grab the feeders. It...

We do it on a spit

I used Sikkens on our camp, but it was when they had Citgo 1-2-3. Sikkens has discontinued the 1-2-3. And now offer a new blend that is all in one coat covering, so They say. I purchased one gallon to finish up the new porch we did but the price is $84.00 a gallon. It is good stuff, but I...

I finally got the snowblower attached to my tractor. I purchased this last year, but it showed up one day before I had my shoulder operation so there was no time to get it installed and hooked up. We had so little amount of snow last year that I just went ahead and used the snow plow instead...

Now this is a nice looking bird

I have a Kubota B-7500 and I have the quick hitch sub- frame for me angle snow plow and snowblower. I purchased a hydraulic motor that I want to use to rotate the blower chute. When I tried using the Husco controller I found it would not rotate the motor in both directions when connected to...

It was 40 degrees F when I got up this morning, slight above normal. Going to be cloudy and windy all day. Put on the sub-frame yesterday and got the front snowblower and plow out, greased and ready to go. Few more things to do and we should be ready for Winter. Talk of storm mid next week...

My past snowblower was a woods ss-60 and I added a chute rotator using a Harbor Freight winch and mounted a shaft to the end of the winch that connected up the the chute U-joint. This work great for me and I also added a linear actuator for controlling the deflector too. I had a 4 linear...

Like they say "it's time to wake up and smell the coffee"

Three days after the end to the season look what shows up in the darn front yard. We have pictures of him at the game camera, always been around 4 AM when he would be there, oh well there is always next year!

We have been burning wood for over 30 years, can't say we are good at it but we do keep warm! Actually burning wood heats you many times! When you cut the trees down, hauling in the logs to a staging area, cutting the logs up to stove size, stacking the wood up to season, hauling in the wood...

Hi Don, I think you and talked about Blake last year! Higley is still crowed most weekends, not sure I would want to be on the water there (on weekends). This past year during the week days there were very few boats on the water. The campground was busy around the 4th, but nothing like years...

New to hydraulics! I want to modify the chute on my Kubota front mount snowblower. I checked into buying the kit from Kubota, but the price is extremely high. I have a Char-Lynn motor part number 128-0032-002 and cannot seem to fin any information on this motor. (again I am sort-of new at...

I just never thought I would be the type to actually get out there and wax the lawn mower. Today was a bit slow around here so I decided to wash the mower and then once done I took out the wax and did that as well. Seems like everytime I wax something I'm real close to trading it in. Not...

last year I went to the local Agway and picked up a few sweet potato plants, about 25 and they already had roots and I just planted them. Seemed to work okay, but the cost of the plants was really up there. So this year I ordered them on line and first of the week they came in, just slips...

Driving back from Washington DC we were within two miles from home when she walked right down onto the road about 8 feet in front of us!

last month I noticed a small antifreeze leak. Having had the same problem last summer I suspected that either the gasket or water pump itself had failed. I went ahead and pulled the pump and checked the gasket, seemed to be fine and I could not see anything wrong physically with the pump so I...

Finally got my wood cut and split, now all I have to do is bring it in and pile it! Never ending task. The snow pile behind is actually covering more split wood. Once the snow is down I can start moving and piling the wood.

The county inspector had JUST signed off on it. Said it was "all he could do since it was a remodel".

Got these pictures from a friend in Florida, just wondering are these pigs really that large? If so what to heck do you bring them down with! Or is this just another photshop make over!

Talked to a guy at my local Kubota dealership in Milford and he told me he had a curtis cab for sale. If anyone in the area is interested let me know and I will give you his name and telephone number. I do not have any interest in this item, but thought someone might. Wayne (New Curtis Cab...

Looking for a single row 3pt hitch potato digger in the New England area. Wayne

It is time for me to admit that I am not smarter than a Black Bear! Recently I went ahead and put all of my bird feeders on a cable and using a boat winch I am able to lift the feeders off from the ground. This provided me with two good results (so I thought). One the squires could not get...

Brought home my new used rototiller, but it will be months before it will be digging up earth around here. It is a 2000 Howard HR4 rotovator. In really good shape just etching to get out there and dig something up! But with this on the ground one must wait!

Recently I have found a Howard 5 foot rototiller that is for sale. I am planning on visiting the person next week to take a closer look and talk money with him. He informed me that he is selling this for an older friend of his and that the rototiller has only been used a few times and is in...

Just wondering what people around the country are paying for heating oil. I had a delivery on Thursday and the price was 3.259 a gallon (they give us ten cents off a gallon if paid in five days). So our cost is $3.159 a gallon. I decided to shutdown a portion of our house this year (2500...

Something we see everyday lately. I think there is somewhere between 40 to 50 in this flock.

Got an email on Friday telling me that someone (s) had broken into our summer home/camp. So I got up early this morning and drove up to inspect the damage. They had broken a window out of the camp to gain access. Just a pain knowing that someone would do such a thing. Now they didn't take...

Started snowing yesterday afternoon and we ended up with about 10" of heavy wet snow! I took the snow blower off the other day so I used the FEL to move some of it around. One nice thing is everything looks really clean now and this will add to the length of the mud season!

We take our ice fishing seriously. Please note there is a "tip up" in the attached picture.

As luck would have it on Monday I decided to take off the snowblower as the temperature was in the 60's and we are in our Mud Season so working on the road mud is much easier without the snowblower attached. Well we are looking at a March storm with anywhere from 12 to 24 inches of the white...

Good Morning, I am going to go look at a Woods 3pt hitch snowblower in the morning. It is a model SS-60. I am not too sure what I should be actually looking at and any advice is certainly appreciated. I was told the blower is four years old, but I am not sure if the person has any paperwork...
