64 outside might touch 80 today. In town for a day or so, then another road trip. Major reorgs taking place at various customers. Managed to start burn pile and started and finished "lawn" in one day. A new record of accomplishment. Literally 12 hours on equipment. Hope all have a great work...

So sorry to hear. Another consult with another surgeon in order? We always go with more than one. Pain is no fun, wish insurance companies had better options in dealing with it,

71 outside right now, mid 70's expected for the rest of the day. Raining here since early AM. Actual puddles have formed. Camping trip went really well. Unfortunate clouds and mist obstructed the views. The wife and I did about six miles a day on the trails. So that was good. Lots of clean up...

67 outside right now, may get to 80 today. Think I will pack up for a camping trip, grab the wife and head to the mountains for a few days. Need to clear out the mind from the real job work week. Hope all have a good weekend. Be safe.

Two things come to mind, you are too busy not paying attention....and/or you purposely want to get into a situation to take advantage of it.

58 outside right now, foggy, heading to upper 80's. Moved last of the rounds to the burn pile yesterday. Did not light it up. Too dry. Nothing on the agenda today. Just real job work. Work load has gone full time again....interesting bad times at site...elevators don't work. Return to office...

34 of them, public, within 45 minutes of me. A lot more coming. Needs are sub-stations, transmission lines and water. Feds not included. Counties not talking with each other and wham....you got one, they got one, everyone gets one.

64 outside right now, heading to lower 80's. If it rained we did not notice yesterday. Misting and drizzle is all I recall. May start the burn pile up today. Dance around it like a heathen. Let out some excess energy. Always fun! Real job is calling today. It's either manageable chaos or chaos...

61 outside right now, is drizzling. Will not get out of the 60's today. We expected some rain yesterday, and today, we are getting misting/drizzle. No complaints. Yesterday was a blur. Ended up helping the wife move the remaining rounds to the burn pile. Then in between she ran to help a friend...

Very nice work. Mine still look like the one on the right. LOL. Patina!

So sorry to hear of the breakdowns Drew. It slows one down for sure, then mentally it creeps in to take even more energy out of you. Healing always seem to take longer and longer even for a general pop. I hope you can recover well.

63 outside right now, heading to 70. Weather apps say rain is in the vicinity. We are not in the vicinity. Split some more rounds, ran out of room to store splits, so took about 50 pieces to the burn piles. Wood splitter and I ran out of gas and we think we have in excess of seven cords stacked...

We have the same issue with "new" neighbors. Their dogs howl at times for like five minutes. Like a pack of wolves. Can be early morning, like 5 to 6AM, late night 11 -12AM. Various times during the day too. When the kids next to them go out to play, they are literally up on the fence lines...

58 outside right now, fog rolling in, heading to lower 80's. May get some rain tonight, or tomorrow. Ending up splitting wood and moving it around yesterday. Lost count over 300 splits. That equated to 3 RTV loads. I still have over 80 rounds left, with some monster size. I have topped off the...

Will check into it. Thanks.

59 outside right now, heading to upper 80's. Need to get to the morning routine. The animals all huddle by their feed bowls come breakfast or dinner time. But, they don't wait around and if the tasks don't get done I am chasing them down into the fields. That ends up being a good brisk walk as I...

Feel for you. I rolled over a small "log" not too long ago. Thing shot up into the tractor and took the alternator belt right off. Actually wedged really bad in there. Only noticed when the idiot lights on the dash started to come on. No other damage and I limped back to the house with it.

52 outside right now, heading to lower 80's. Dry..dry and dry... no chances for rain in the near future. Managed to get the hot tub hooked up yesterday. Might have an air lock in one pump. Will be out looking at that in a few. Not much else going on, may split and move some more rounds from...

Now that is funny, except if you are in parts of Europe.

I use my foot, It gives others the impression I am in the wrong and makes them either think about it, or they move on in a state of stupid bliss.

56 outside this AM, heading to lower 80's. Not much on the agenda today, Made a late beer and grocery run yesterday, scored on my favorites. Survived another real job work week. A miracle. Managed to keep my mouth shut too, another miracle. Since I am sure we all get talked down to or...

60 outside right now, going to maybe 80 today. A misty morning to start with. Yesterdays rain never materialized. More like a mist. Never forget. Hope all have a good day. Solemn. Be safe.

As is has been our position on all real estate dealings. Leaves no doubt and may open talks on price only.

Our place used to be a small yard with hay fields. Then the bushhog showed up, upsized from a B to an M. Then the ZT showed up. Now the ZT is doing about 4 acres of "lawn". Since we have trails they are almost to a point of ZT ready too. Point is, the ZT gives you scope creep on maintaining...

61 outside this AM, may get to 70 today. It looks like it is raining, slight drizzle/misting going on. We will take it. Played pick up brush yesterday. Took better part of the late afternoon and evening. No more jungle outside the back door. When we retire landscaping will be a full time job...

YIKES! With our old house, (the wiring and plumbing is newish) we don't leave until anything mechanical or electrical has finished its cycle. Just a habit.

A lot of leaves coming down from the drought. Makes cleaning the pool an hourly job depending on which way the wind blows. Thinking about closing early, but we enjoy looking at the blue water. Only been in it a handful of times this year. Hoping next year will be more splash time.

45 outside right now, heading to mid 70's today. Rain is welcome tonight. Seems we are real close to 40 days without now. Spent the late day with the wife hacking the bushes around the house yesterday. Need to move about four or five piles of trimmings to the burn piles this AM. Looks more...

Understated.

47 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Chilly....LOL. No overnight company, managed to catch up on some football last night. Forgot it was the start of the season. Slowly losing interest. Yesterday while walking not my dog noticed some monarch caterpillars in the back forty area we let...

61 outside this Am, heading to mid 70's today. Cloudy, no rain yesterday, whiff, and no rain this AM. Bigger whiff. Company coming in later. Heart pounded once when I saw the winning city from PowerBall this AM. LOL. Too bad it was in Texas and not VA. Back to work tomorrow for sure. LOL...

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's with some rain likely late this afternoon. The dogwood berries seem to have turned bright red over the last day or so. Lots of leaves dropping and it probably is due to lack of rain. Worked on a tree line yesterday with the wife. Not much planned for...

You can still get a drivers license with an impairment. Field of vision, peripheral vision, some depth perceptions, colors, brightness, etc. etc.

HUD for the visually impaired is a game changer.

63 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. If we had rain yesterday (we did) it was quick and only registered visually for a minute. To the north east of us, they look like they got a way lot more. Had a nice rainbow out of it. Managed to get back from the Doctors with no bad news, but no good...

Matched your wumpety wump a few days ago. Always interesting mowing tall grasses.

Looks like a baby Rat/Black snake.

59 outside this Am, heading to lower 80's with rain (what is that?) expected this afternoon, late. Caught part of a local weather cast yesterday evening, said it has been 38 days since the last rain event. Scored on the wife's friend hot tub yesterday. So I have a new project for the next week...

About the same here. It's an adventure trying to find a package most of the time. We have even had some in the gully by the mailbox. Those are fun on wet days.

Anything with a worm in it. LOL.

Same, unscented everything. Where possible. We use Tide, liquid. Seems to leave behind a lesser amount of smell. LOL. I just wear deodorant, Old Spice original of all things. LOL.

49 outside right now, heading to lower 80's. Did some light yard work yesterday, mostly a real job sort of day. Today looks about the same. Wife's friend wants to get rid of her hot tub so we will go look at that today. Hope all have a great day. Hump day! be safe.

Area 51a.

Hooved animals is what the doctors finally told us that stuck.

I have/had four women on the farm. Family members (they know better right?)... my electric company loves our property. Just a few minutes ago I turned off the heat in one building (heat?) and turned off some outside lights and a stairway light. Usually those things would normally be turned off...

She has a fish allergy since birth. It was chicken and turkey for a few years. Pork was a no go too. Talk about creative cooking.

Dances with Wolves....interesting movie. "You and me, we come a long way..." -Kicking Bird

52 outside right now, morning fog rolling in, heading to upper 70's today. Will take it easy for a few days and get back with the real job for a few hours each day this week. Hope all have a great day, be safe.

Done for today. Weed whacking is over. Maybe for the season. Caught this in my news feeds. Interesting salvage. Tractor love. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/tractor-enthusiast-wants-recover-one-121100851.html

Yeah... was a carp. Very nice shots....good eye...good timing.

48 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's. Busy at the airport yesterday. So far all my trips into Dulles this year required hunting for a daily parking space. I followed one person after I asked him if I could have his spot. LOL. Just busy. B u s y. MIL back in Florida, yippie. Today I'll be...

59 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. Spent the last two days doing pasture work. Took the tractor from the pastures to the wood line. Cutting a path/clearing/trail over some ground that is usually wet. Not this time, this year. It was so dry I ended up making four cuts to the woods...

Cool pics.

Daughter had it 5 to 10?? years ago in VA. Had to take her to infectious disease specialist for diagnosis. This year marks 2 year she could tolerate meats again. Very serious disease.

56 outside right now, may get to 80 today. Should be another nice day. Worked the tractor on the front 40 late yesterday afternoon. Got it all done. Just need to walk a few miles and whack some weeds around some fence posts today. The tractor is not as comfy as it once was to me. Seems the...

Yep. 30 minutes up the road...another county.. tagged as "data center capital of the world". Major battles going on in neighborhoods over build outs. Our electric provider already approved for transmission.. sub station upgrades...and passing the cost to the entire state.

I mine Bitcoin in my spare time. /s

Interesting. I am a fan of predators. They keep the deer busy. I usually find a good part of a deer at least twice a month around here that has been gnawed on. In VA, they are considered pests. open season year round....except on Sunday. At night, when they are out and about, I love hearing...

I am a 3 1/2 to 4 inch person mowing around the property myself. I think right now with the dry weather it helps. My neighbor scalps her yard, it is a lot browner than mine at this point in time. Purely observation, no scientific method applied. Did not sleep at Holiday Inn last night.

Wow..... Around here they shoot them on sight. Livestock issues. Caught this one hunting for foxes a little while back.

55 outside this AM, may get to 80. Sunny and dry, Pleasant weather. Got the entire middle pasture cut yesterday late afternoon. Looks good. Noticed a boarders horse was gimpy out there, so had to get a shoe off the beast. Lucky she cooperated. Have to convince owner since no one is riding horse...

Probably a female fox. They waste away after caring for their kits this time of year.

LOL. .... Have to make it personal.

A good t-Shirt type slogan.

Good for SpaceX. Great for rocketry.

55 outside right now, heading to upper 70's today. Dry, very dry. Got the trails all cut with the tractor late yesterday and finished up with the weed whacking around the fence lines. It's cooled off so much there is little chance of getting into the pool. Still nice looking at it...

Are you digitzing them?

I missed the tool you were using?

If I was a corn stalk...I'd be worried.

We moved 15 minutes away from our original property, crossing county lines just because of the ridiculous tax assessments. Now, we are "squeezed" by neighboring counties and their changes to zoning and taxes. Puts a lot of pressure on our current county to hold the line.

55 outside this AM, may get to just below 80 today. Downright chilly. Nice fog hanging low over the pastures now. Will finish up the weed whacking today and take the tractor for a spin in the pastures. Yesterday was a good outside work day in a long while. I took one water bottle with me and I...

#rswyan puts me to shame...again. Managed to get 3/4s of the front perimeter done. That is just over two miles of fence. Feet up and beer time.

63 outside right now, lower 80's expected. Don't know what I may get into today. Wife and MIL taking a trip to see MIL's old property that has a 1800's cabin on it that we relocated and rebuilt. The cabin is now an AirBnB. Should be interesting for them. Need to get the weed whacker out and do...

Successfully avoided the women today. LOL. Managed to get the tree branch down and cut up. Stacked wood too. Hackberry....should be good burning wood. Not fun cutting up. Need to run all the chains up the road this week for sharpening. Got to be ready for fall and winter. Sprinkled a few...

Cannot find my RTV. Lol. Recent tree work...

Around here there is a housing shortage. So prices will probably go higher. You know what they say about location.

66 heading to lower 80's today. Managed to get to the "yard" maintenance yesterday. Only took water/gatorade/fuel breaks while I beat back all the grasses that I came across. I feel it today. The pedometer counter clocked me in for 21,762 steps. I used all available equipment. Including wife...

Just poured a chp of gasoline on another nest...in the ground this time. That makes three dustings by pros and two attempts by me for jackets and hornets this year. A new property record.

62 outside right now, may get to 80 today. Wow. What happened to summer? I just got acclimated to the heat and humidity. LOL. Wife, MIL and I cut about 300 feet of privets down to about 3 feet. Darn things are not very cooperative around the driveway. Found a new way to entertain MIL. LOL. It...

It's the wild west right now. Don't expect "regulations" to keep up or influence any of it. The power is too great. And people are naive.

I have a very slight elevation on upper, it's not flat. The wife has a notable elevation on upper. Lower portions, feet, hardly get used.

My barn snake is no more.

We have two SleepNumber Kings. Split, all adjustable firmness, head and feet. No climate controls. Best beds we have ever had. I like the adjustable firmness, depending on the day, may deflate or inflate accordingly due to comfort. Good luck in your search.

66 outside this AM, should make it to 80. Cloudy, yesterdays rain amounted to less than a drizzle. Today I'll close out some real job stuff, more chaos, but we have a handle on it. We think. LOL. At this point we are beyond reasonable process thinking and doing, so it is do as you go. See what...

A year old thread gets new life. Same old story.

70 outside right now, another degree or two for the high is expected. Raining. Weather people got it wrong. Again. We could use the rain. Put some water in the pool for the first time all year, yesterday. That's a new record. Usually we are in the spot fill mode since July. Not the "normal"...

67 outside right now. Heading to lower 80's. Not much going on. TBN throwing errors for me this AM, unexpected, please try later. OK. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Make cakes out of them. They are a lot of work though. We have a trail on the property called paw-paw trail. Have not seen any this year, but have not looked hard either.

Not giving a good post score for the ladder and saw. rswyan, you should be reported to the safety police. SMH. LOL.

67 outside right now, heading to mid 70's. Not much accomplished yesterday. Started moving a mulch pile from a stump out of the front yard. From the tree work. Still have about 4o rounds out there too that need someplace to go. Wife took MIL for a trip to Shenandoah yesterday, so I had some me...

Blessed to be human.

The brains behind robotics is being influenced and moved in new ways by AI and like tools. It's a single entity. You cannot separate your brain from your body.

Wait until the complete healthcare datasets get deep dived into. Already hitting the FinTech industry hard right now, and parts of IT too. Anywhere there is a human involved is ripe for automation, robotics and AI. To think otherwise is careless.

3-D printing, complete builds from the ground up. An example of pre-programmed robotics building stuff. AI is pushing robotics to another level. They work hand in hand. AI may push humans to another level too, or not. Remains to be seen...

Already been done. That's where all the buzz around sandboxing came about. The debate about self-awareness and exactly what that means as far as control, continues.

73 outside right now, upper 70's expected and that is all. Trip was a success. MIL met another great grandchild. We all dealt with the heat except my nephews wife. She had a hard time of it. Overall an interesting experience. Just sort of shot the whole day for us though. Also dropped the SIL...

Bladerunner 2049. I can see interactions in the medical field and elder care. Not all is bad.

There are serious off switches yet to be introduced in the drone wars.

75 outside right now, heading to mid 90's. Finally got to the grasses yesterday. Only break was lunch and dinner. Managed to get everything cut including around drainage ditches. I messed one up real bad with the tractor a few days ago. Wife was mowing a back pasture all day. MIL had to...

74 outside this AM, heading to 90. Nothing accomplished yesterday that needed attention. Found two more ground bee/yellow jacket nests. One in a building, again. Had to call in the pro. again for the building. I think we are up to two pro call ins and four nests in total. The nests don't have...

Retinal tears/detachments are serious but treatable with excellent results. Cataract surgery can increase the odds of getting one.

That is the absolute cleanest stump removal process I have ever seen.

Happy Birthday. Some say the earth is spinning faster. So I guess that means we are aging faster. Hey...only a number right?

71 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Managed to get outside and mess up drainage ditch more yesterday late. Nothing else accomplished. I'd like to mow today if the weather cooperates and the sun continues to shine. Hope all have a great start to the weekend. Be safe.

Maybe Boxwoods?? I have a few that we relocated, not trimmed they have stayed "short" and filled out immensely.

I have gone eco-friendly around here. Let some acreage go back to Mother Nature. It is filled with non-native plants. The Olive and Pear variety/species seem to be the majority of what is coming up now.

Nice upload speeds. We have fiber all around us. Just...cannot...seem...to...get... connected. LOL

70 outside right now, heading to upper 80's today. Busy in the real job yesterday, and wife came back with MIL. 'nuff said. Don't read it wrong, the lady is OK, just needs to be catered to all the time. It's like she is on a vacation. I have attempted to tell her she has house freedom to get or...

Re:-.1 MS Office uses VBA. You can ask the models to generate all sorts of code snippets or functions based on what your trying to do. They can even generate a user interface from what I experienced.

Type "Create a Microsoft Access form to load an Excel Spreadsheet" in any of the available AI modelers. I would start with something you KNOW as far as what you EXPECT the results to be. Just to gain confidence in the modeler. Tailor and add more inputs and you are off and running. Cut and Paste...

We have used Access to quickly assemble prototype solutions. Some customers took the tools and just kept expanding them. For "departmental" use, 5 to 25 users, a great solution can be had. With a growth path both for data and a wider audience at hand. There is a lot of knowledge out there on...

Here we go....LOL. The form you are viewing can be query based to pull information (pre-populating) from what ever the query returns. You can have one query pull everything plonk it in a "working" table and then have forms with different data being displayed out of the "working" table. You can...

So you can store the data in one database, and have the users in another database just doing adds and updates from another. You could even see who the user is, and present them only with a form for reports. They in turn are separated from the data and delegated to just providing whomever a...

No. Just making a hard sell on upsizing to Access for you. Who does the data input and/or query/macro builds in all the spreadsheets? Exactly what are they putting in? Are they updating existing rows and columns or adding data?

I think you really should take a harder look at databases for this. You need separation of duties and data access. On top of this you need canned reporting. You should spend your time building, not fixing. Better for all involved. Good luck.

75 outside right now. heading to upper 80's. May rain later, who knows for sure. Cut some walking/riding trails with the tractor yesterday. Attempted to beat down some grasses in gullies and run off spots, still to wet for that. Made more of a mess than I should have. Called it a day after that...

LOL. Most of my Kubota dealers are 45 minutes away. Messicks does hurt on the shipping. I had a filter show up once with a broken seal on the filter itself. They had a quick turnaround on the issue. Unfortunate all maintenance here must be planned in advance. Parts, fluids and time all need to...

Ok, sounds like the Excels are very small. More Excel code and formatting I guess. They should not be an issue. Access uses Visual Basic, as do all MS Office products. The good majority of functions "macros" in Excel if your under the hood can map directly to Access functions. Getting your...

Seems like a quick fit for MS Access. You could solve your issue with numbers of spreadsheets, just using a shared Access database. Automate the input, automate the updates if someone does it in Excel. How big are the spreadsheets? You have a IIRC 2GB limit for Access. You may need to compress...

Hmm...different morning thus far. Power went out in the middle of everything, had to get generator out. Seriously need to think about switch for the water supply to run off generator. That is the most critical missing element for the house and farm. Water for the animals. I guess the pool could...

Check batteries plus stores, good selection, ready to go, discounts for bulk purchases. Use them for the man-lift. Had to have a detailed compare that resulted in purchasing.

Yes the latches are good for us. The horses are pretty docile and usually don't hang around the gates. The gates swing both in and out of the pasture. Good latch design, easy enough for one hand operations. The wife insists on chaining them though. So be it. One definitely has to be aware of...

66 outside right now, heading to mid 80's today. Must have been the TBN early wakeup calls happening this AM. LOL. Was up at 3AM myself. Tylenol and Cortisone. Chigger bites are in full bloom. At strategic bends of the body, of course. They seem to be popping up all over. Left side especially...

So sorry to hear, sounds like a wonderful life of love, care and attention was given. Fond memories for sure. Always difficult. Condolences.

Just went through this twice, once in FLA once in MD. Depending on who you talk to at each DMV, be prepared for multiple answers. In both cases we had DMV do records searches for previous titles, we provided death certificates and other legal papers to prove affiliations with the decedent. In...

64 outside this AM, will push to a comfortable 80 later. Yesterday was outside attempting to get a gate in. Turned into an all day event with most of my tools and equipment needed. It was a two gatorade, five water bottle event. The gate was just long enough that it required a fence post to be...

Morning, Returned from our camping trip and lots of changes in our lives. Work has been especially difficult as you can imagine if one follows the news. My eldest got her position back as a Park Ranger, but the relocation to the east coast during the RIF has set her back. Closed out my FIL's...

64 outside this AM, heading to lower 80's. Looks like another tree is dying in the front yard, a pin oak. The silver maple that came down died about two years ago exhibiting this same behavior. Started to leaf out, browned edges and....nothing.... More chain saw work, must have some fungal...

57 outside right now, not sure where the temp will end up later. Mid 70's if not high 70's. Busy day. Ended with real job stuff a few minutes ago. Got tractor time in yesterday, cut neighbors field. Had a long talk with other neighbor, some trees down on their shared property line. Too big for...

39 outside right now. Lower 70's today. No burn pile activity this weekend other than adding rounds to it. Finally cleaned up around the big trees in the front. Still have over 200 rounds to split, but they are all in the same place now in nice rows waiting for the splitter guy to show up. LOL...

50 outside right now, heading to mid 70's. Windy....very windy. Hope it dies down a lot so I can torch another burn pile today. I managed to get some more rotten rounds down to the back pile yesterday before I petered out. I think I can finally finish moving and collecting the remainder of the...

Dealer should have quizzed him. I feel bad for the guy. Time and comfort are precious.

He will find out the first time he is out cutting. Maybe a zero turn is in his future?

Not with motrin. I stayed ahead of the pain yesterday. This AM, it is catching up. I do need a better plan, the fence lines are too long. Maybe this is the year for chemicals.

Yeah, probably for some. This guy I have been dealing with for a good long time. The only thing I need from him is a chain saw one day. LOL. He even did some push mower maintenance for me. A good guy with a very highly rated business. A rare find these days.

66 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Slight rain coming down. Need to get busy with the animals. Behind schedule. Seems to be the norm these days. Slowing down I guess. Over 3 miles with the weed whacker yesterday. And more push mower. Just need one more spot by the house done....was...

Don't forget a few hats. Take lots of pics to share. Especially the hour meter.

I run about ten chains down to the local Stihl dealer every year. All at once. I let him do his thing while I oggle real saws. LOL.

57 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Rain expected late this afternoon. Drought conditions again. Funny, I still have standing water in spots in the pastures. Not moving very fast these past few days, still not 100 percent. Took the weed whacker and push mowers out for the first time...

I had a tractor flip over. Hit ice, back lifted up going downhill, load of wood in a trailer. As it was coming up, in that second I thought I could jump clear. My feet got caught in the peddles. I was crushed under it. Took a few hours to find me and get me out from under it. Air flight to...

48 outside right now, heading to the 80's today. More wood work and grass work today. At least the grass work will be over by the end of the day. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

A serious question - How many of you have that inner voice speak to you just before you do something that resulted in a bad situation?

Two cups of coffee. Unless with company (people) I skip breakfast.

Sounds familiar, minus the shark thoughts.

48 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's today. Yesterday got sidetracked with a daughter visit so we all just enjoyed each others company and not much else got done. Today is more round work, moving wood scraps and branches to the burn pile and the grass needs cutting. Got the front "yard" to...

Nice, very nice truck? Clean and bold looking.

Funny, well not really, you should mention moles. They seem to have relocated to our property. I could count on one hand over the decades the tunnels and pop ups. This year someone let loose the moles of war. They are everywhere, front, back, sides, gardens, walkways, pastures, rings...

62 outside right now, heading to mid 80's today. Hmm....no rain showed last night, it was expected. Moved a few more rounds, around, cleaned up some more, but ran out of energy so I broke the mower out. Managed to get the back cut, before night time set in. Came in, made a pizza for all tuned...

Lucky to be alive and have all parts working.

Must be saying it wrong...not working. LOL. The log splitter has a flat, need to get that to the local garage. The tire not the splitter. Am in no hurry to split these, big, heavy and no place under shelter has any room. Snake visit while working, ended my day. More wood work later. Reset...

57 outside right now, heading to mid 70's today. Have about 130 rounds in the front that need splitting, all lined up ready to go. Some are 5 feet or larger in circumference. They may end up in a burn pile. Too big to deal with. HVAC system in farm house is not cooling, sigh, call to repair is...

Hard choice. I got partial to the MX. The wife said it looked beefy and simple as far as controls and instrumentation went. You looked at them both side by side? I don't think you will make a bad choice with either. Good luck!!

Happy Easter to all. 69 outside right now, heading to upper 70's. After services, more burn pile work for the big rounds and wood pieces in the front yard. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

69 outside this AM. Heading to mid 80's today. Not yet cured of whatever... will take it easy today. Burn pile was turned over yesterday...still smoking. More feeding it today. Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Been there, done that. Good intentions. My shocking electrical story, best one of many, I was tearing carpet out of a bed room when I came across an extension cord wire that eventually ended up in a wall outlet. Needless to say, the house got all new electric.

42 outside right now, may get into the low ------- 80's today. Yep. Still under the weather, but managed yesterday. Had to put a cat down yesterday. Lucky, his name, picked up under a culvert by my daughter and brought home. He had thirteen good years. Managed to get the back burn piles...

Wow....my radio is up a few notches but not at max. That's bushhogging too. Max PTO. A/C running too.

Maintenance and parts should not be an issue at 25 miles away. My nearest dealer is over an hour away, my purchasing dealer over two. Parts when I need them are either a day trip or mail order. Heck, I have had overnighter on delivery. A hydraulic hose on the RTV bed finally sprung a leak after...

38 outside right now, mid 60's expected today. Still under the weather, may do something easy like shopping or torching a burn pile. Hope all have a great day today, be safe.

What about the warrenty going forward?

Do a side by side compare of the MX and L and the beefier/bulky difference is readily apparent.

41 outside right now, heading to lower 60's. I seem to have caught something, not like buppies though, so it is a few days of taking it easy. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Depends on the cutter. Weight IMHO more important than size. I think the 6000 is around 2000 pounds lifting.

First off, nice idea for your dad. Don't take this wrong, but at 82 I'd go with comfort and maintenance as the deciding choices. That leaves out golf carts as the batteries require charging. My FIL never charged his, and it ended up sitting for a year before he basically forgot about it. If the...

We use our MX for pastures maintenance and FEL work. Anything like digging we call for help. I am at the age where I'd rather not be messing with attachments and having them sit around doing nothing. The tractor is turn key and go. The cab is the option for the wife to help too. LOL. And she does.

60 outside right now, may get to 66 a little later. Rain moved through, drizzle now. Thunderstorms late last night. Wow. Managed to finish cutting grasses, not in the usual pattern of timing though. Need to get it all done in two days and not three. LOL. will work on that. Need to get to the...

45 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Celebration of Life went well this weekend, all enroute back to home states. No drama, which was and is good. Traffic was a nightmare going North, my wife commented that it was just normal. Managed to do some yard work too this w/e. Second mow of the...

I am still on the fence between old and new. We are 21 years into a "renovation" of a 1920 farm and farmhouse. Originally I liked the land, the wife liked the smaller house. The house had major issues. Additions and whatnot over the decades were not done properly. Our friends all suggested it...

47 outside this AM, may click up a few more degrees. Rain expected on and off. Have a full house. Between people and wood, no more room to put everyone. LOL. Most will be hitting the road today for the final destination. BIL made it here in just under 15 hours. Not bad. Today will be another...

44 outside right now, may touch 60 today. Rain expected later. Moving out of towners around today for tomorrow. Need to make some supply runs this AM, between normal workloads and crazy real job. LOL. Hope all have a great day. Positive thoughts to those ailing and sympathies for those...

No way on the pool for potable water. No way. Sediment in well? Address the well pipe, depth and pump. Water quality? Start filtering and treatment. Safe water is a must.

27 outside right now, That's going to put the brakes on the fruit trees this year and snap the flowering spell we have going on right now. Too bad. May get into the mid 50's today. Family is starting to show up, lots of trips back and forth to the airports. Supplies for the w/e are also showing...

40 outside right now, may get to 49. Nice breeze/wind looks to be drying stuff out nicely. Real jobs will consume the day. Family all enroute to our place for staging for the final send off of the FIL this weekend. Trying to get the place in some semblance of order for that. Hope all have a...

48 outside, that should be the high for today. Raining finally. After numerous reports that it would rain all day yesterday, it finally shows up this AM. Managed to get one burn pile lit yesterday, three to go. Obviously have to wait now. More reclaiming the front yard from the tree rounds. If...

So sorry to hear this. Codolences to you and your family.

I have learned bigger is indeed better. I was looking at L's.....ended up with the M series.

62 outside right now. May get to 66...rain expected soon. Still dealing with tree rounds. Smashed another finger...wood shed is full...first grass cutting of season done. ZTR has fuel issue again. Time to dump tanks and maybe ditch my gas cans. Here is a pick of a ruined day a while back. Wire...

67 outside right now, may hit 70. Hit and miss crazy weather. Busy week, real jobs are real chaos. Home front is managing. Got the mower out for the first cut of the season, yesterday. Then got chased in by the weather. Only 1/2 through. About 1/2 through tree work in front yard. So far 6 (six)...

Stick with the pack, ditch the flock.

40 outside right now, may get to 70 later, with slight chance of rain. Need to tend to burn piles as number four is now underway as far as stacking goes. Got a lot of wood from the trees making their way to the burn piles. Managed to notch some rounds and get them into the tractor bucket late...

Cool. You can be the next WeatherTech for plane accessories. Definite market type stuff for this.

31 outside this AM, heading to lower 60's. Not much accomplished yesterday. Lots of things to do that I just did not manage to get at. My time management sucks. I guess. We shall see what today brings. I did manage to break out paint and got some things painted yesterday, door knobs and...

45 outside right now, heading to mid 50's. Rain expected? Is hit and miss season. Kind of puts a hold on firewood processing. Attempted and failed to move two big rounds to the burn pile area with the tractor. Wife did managed to move ten others that will not fit the splitter or are rotted. May...

45 outside right now, heading to lower 60's with more rain expected later. Still recovering from the city trip. LOL. Both the traffic and the work load. Brought the work load home, left the traffic where it was. It is probably still there. Where are all these people coming from and why do they...

45 outside right now, may get to mid 50's today. I think it is trying to rain. Need to run into the city today. It was a busy weekend with the real job and the home life. Managed to split the burn pile into three parts and torched one, ran out of time for the other two. Burn ban time allotment...

RIP George Foreman Quite a heavy weight...great grill merchant too.

We have three of them. Wife and daughter needed them because of their back surgeries. I got one because the wife demanded a matching living room set and because I am exhausted all the time. We have battery backups on all, they seem to be trouble free so far. They are comfortable for sure. A...

Look towards the future. I just had three trees, two massive ones come down. To get it all cut and removed was over 10k. My splitter will be busy for weeks. Is it a one and done event? Or can you see yourself cutting and splitting due to storm damage and general upkeep of your property. You...

39 outside this AM, heading to upper 50's. Windy. Some storms blew through last evening, chased me away from splitting wood. It was all good as I was tuckered out anyways. Reached the point of 1/2 full in the "wood shed". Had to start the ZTR and move it to an outbuilding in the back. First...

I would think any Pool store to be familiar with them and the installation process. I believe any custom pool design would have to be measured. Carefully.

I was quoted 5k a pole to bury. You can price it out yourselves, LOL, I am 1800 feet from the street. :)

45 outside this AM, heading to 70. Unfortunate rain is expected later this afternoon. More cutting, splitting, moving and stacking yesterday. Only about 1/2 cord done. Am slowing down from the day before. First time I have cut up an Elm. Wet and stringy. Messy splits. I came across a bone dry...

35 outside right now, heading to 75. Yesterday was busy, then got with my little friend the log splitter. More of that today and into the forceable future. Sigh. I will probably have to find another place to park the ZTR in a two days or so. In the allotted time yesterday I cut, split, moved...

POA means nothing now that your Dad has passed. What #alexpops said is the way.

40 outside right now, heading to mid 60's. Grass is greening up. Daffodils are popping, and the yard is a mess with the cut trees everywhere. It will be a while before all the work ends up in the wood sheds. Need to get on the one shed roof to redo some panels sometime today. And split and...

You have my sympathy. Hope it goes easy on you and your family

54 outside right now, that might be the high for today. Weekend was busy. Trees all came down with no issues. Good thing as yesterday we had lots of wind gusts in the 50mph range. Took a few panels off one of the equipment sheds. No other problems. With the trees down the chainsaw got a lot of...

45 outside right now, heading to upper 50's. Need to get busy, or busier this AM. Move some animals and vehicles around. Tree guys are showing up. Nothing like advancing the schedule a week or so. Gives wife the excuse to miss another company function. The big guy will give me an earful for...

It works. No problems, better than hunting for something different.

37 outside right now, heading to upper 50's. Today I will take it easy. Lots of changes going on at customer sites. I still have a few POC's left, but they are under the added burden of taking more responsibilities. Our contracts will not cover those, so it will be interesting to see how this...
