Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

That Aztithromiacin (sp), is excellent for pneumonia and bronchitis , I guess doc figured it was too late for Tamiflu, they are often coadministered.

Ed, I hope it works quickly and you feel better soon.

well, 50 pounds of seed potatoes does not plant "acres" as the guys said. Of course he was quite honest when saying "we aren't potato farmers".
Good thing. 50 pounds did two rows. Next 50 will do two more rows. This is a lot of work...not sure I have the energy to plant more than what I bought, which I doubt will fill
a half acre. But there are apparently a lot of potatoes in that...

Then I hilled the corn area, way too soon for that but it was sunny and...
that little tractor isn't very heavy but it really gives me a workout.
Hydrostatic can sure spoil you. I've never tried a PowerShuttle, hmmm, I'd need a bigger
tractor for that...:dance1:

does IVT have a clutch?
trying to figure out easiest tractor to use. So far my Kubota is simply better ergonomically than the rest of them.
Though the Kubota doesn't have Farmall's Cultivision. Sort of like saying gosh you don't have drum brakes!
Of course a traditionalist might prefer horsehair liners..that wonderful smell as it ignites.
The brakes on the IH aren't much better than that actually.
Replaced for sure, saturated in oil and useless.

Felt a bit chilly out there but I was working hard. After I bent over six million times on the first row, I could go no further.
So I mimic'd the guy I saw on youtube who drove along in his golf cart dropping potatoes in. I still had to go back and roll over the upside down ones,
but that kept me sitting longer. And my legs were giving out. The Red Pontiacs have now been planted.

Headed down in a little bit to cut up the rest of the potatoes, but in no rush. Nice not to move...

The flu reminds me of computer viruses. There's always something new coming at you and none of it is good.

Forgot the nice job Drew, comment.
Ended up doing less than I had planned. That little bit of snow dust did me in slipped on it unto to right shoulder. No broken parts. But kind of sore. Good reason to spend rest of afternoon watching NASCAR.
LS and Ed get well soon.

Sorry about your fall Ron. Hope it doesn't get you down for long. This past ice storm we had, I coached the kids "Don't walk around like a southerner on ice, with your hands in your pockets."

I did that years ago and flattened my nose on the ice.

Cut one of our holly trees today, never planned to cut any of them but this one was an outlier and in the way, pushed it into the woods, that little 234 is a workhorse, that was a 10 inch thick, 18-20 foot tree. This will make it easier get into that area with trailers and such. Leveled some of the dirt I brought up the other day.
Went to the nursing home for a visit, mom never wants me leave, I understand, I never went to come into this empty house.

 

[toppop52]

OK, who replaced the dog picture with the butt scratcher?

 

[DABSGT]

Woke up to 4 inches of snow give or take so spent the morning snowblowing the driveway at the lake then heading home to plow driveway and neighbors. Weather experts are predicting some warmer weather this week up to lower 70s I'm sure that will be followed by more freezing temps and snow but I'll take a few days of warm.
Ed good choice not seeing mom wile sick hope the med's help and mom's rehab goes well.
LS take care of that knee and hope you are enjoying your trip. I know what you mean about wife driving that some scary stuff.
Drew planting looks good going to have lots of potatoes, hope mother nature is good to you and all the freezing temps stay away. I never tried it but a friend and long time farmer would plant potatoes by making a furrow drop potato spuds in then cover with hay told me the crop was easier to harvest and potatoes were larger. He did have some big potatoes.
Toppop sounds like you having fun with the international never know you may get the itch to take a night ride

Ed- FYI for possible future need and use: Most inhalers have expiration dates on the side of the vial. They really become ineffective after that date. I am glad that it was not pneumonia. Those Z pac's work quite well. good luck.

Would you believe the Dr called and said that when the tec read the X-ray they saw some pneumonia, so I have that too. If I do anything my pulse goes to about 117- 120. I am going to feel much better when I get over this. Thanks again guys. Ed
