Bansil's Shenanigans begin again....

[Bansil]

Hello all, im back after several years gone.

Tomorrow is new tractor day!!!

This is getting delivered in the morning, in the rain of course.

So she needs a place to sleep the old Alpaca barn will work!





Looked inside and found...a frikn' half eaten fish!!!!!!!!


WTF!!!





Flipped over, still soft and only 1 side gone, head was cut off????


That fish is from S.Holston lake an hour away, you don't eat them they are nasty.....

I have no idea where it came from or what omen it brings to the table.

Moar pictures tonight...

Welcome back, Fish makes good fertilizer
Congrats on the new ride.

 

[Bansil]

Thanks! it's been a long wait for a new tractor/tool/toy..I miss having one, can't wait until morning...kind of like Christmas in the early 70's.

Need to work on her bed in the morning, I cut the stall walls out and feeders off the walls...everything is in a pile to move, finish fixing door, install lock and cameras.

Need some dirt for the barn floor but it's too wet right now.

Off to find powder coat to match the orange if possible....

Instead of a dirt floor I used wood chips. If it is dry in there they will last about 20 years sure is better than dusty dirt.

I need to rake/fill the paths they walked in. This has been dry every year (25 years) but 1, and it flooded for a week. So dirt is good, I like the wood idea on top, I was thinking gravel....

Do you use a hard or soft wood chip?

I used a bunch of free loads from the tree trimming guys so probably a mixture.

That fish was caught and fillet, then left or given to something, most animals don't really eat fish they eat the guts and leave the rest there... I would guess you have a raccoon or any member of the mustelid family around.

 

[Bansil]

We have plenty of animals here that's for sure, raccoons, possums, fox's, coyotes, bears. The bears are a real nuisance, besides trash their fat asses knock crap off the deck, turn over chairs as they waddle around.

Waiting for tractor, it's getting ready to start raining and snowing...it's going to be a wet day for sure.

 

[Bansil]

So barn started like this

Cut out sides

While cleaning up this morning, found the fish skins

20 MIN. Out! I hope it's enough space...

 

[Bansil]

She is here! I am frozen now, need to change clothes since its sleeting/snowing and raining.

I'm going to throw a few burgers on the grill for lunch and then go drive it around.

 

[Bansil]

Holy crap its rained alot last 4 hours, My backyard/pond has a few inches of water already...
I did get her behind the house...


Hopefully the rain washes the mud off...

Congrats… my very new tractor sat for 7 months after fitting the fields last year. Hit the key and it spun right up. I decided to pull her out yesterday and make sure she was ready for spring. Enjoy the new tool!

 

[Bansil]

Thanks, plenty to do...arrest me red pretty.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

We love some good Shenanigans on TBN!! Congrats!!

First place I put the L5030 when new was in the manure pile.. Had work to get done.

 

[Bansil]

So, rain stopped at about 9 am, so went towards the barn so I can fix her bed to sleep in....

Looks like I need to cut down the bed sides, it worked BUT I still have a 6in lift kit to install. (Old Ford lifted a foot+ more)

Full....

Let's empty and grab lunch

..well honey do......right now all the dark dirt was briars/berries...basically all the azzholes that draw blood...my cheek agrees...

 

[tacticalturnip]

Must be real nice to have her home!

 

[Have tractor did travel]

The owner's manual says to transport that TBL with the backhoe resting on the deck of the trailer. You'd hope the dealer would have cared enough to train his people not to transport with the holding pin in place, but to follow the mfg.'s instructions.
