Good morning!!!!

good morning all
looks like our weather here will warm up nicely for next three days, sure has been windy
31 going up to 46 in sun today.
Lot of snow up North, guys have fun with it and be careful.

PJ, good to hear from you, sorry for your loss, hope the near future is brighter.

while several of you are contemplating table saws, I spent time with the Highland woodworker catalog while
"communing" this morning, and those SawStop models really look attractive. But expensive. I know they use them in local schools for safety.
Most of the good table saws are hernia producers to move, better take an equipment mover with you.

need to go food shopping this morning, and then home to start loading clothes and some food into rv. Refrigerator gets turned on Friday, takes a day to get cold.
Installed the hdmi wall plates yesterday, well one of them, that went ok but still needs some fussing. At least it all worked when I fired it up.
Installed the cabling grommets, and that worked fine, though I had to order some furniture repair/coloring sticks to touch up the edges.
I'll finish the job when I'm someplace a lot warmer next week.

not happy to find that rv hot water heater had been left on propane, and was running constantly, which I figured out how to turn off. That wasted some gas, so will need to
fill up rv at one of my stops. Many rv campgrounds sell propane which is a good thing. Normally once plugged in to full power will use electric to heat the water.
I did get in the little 5 pound propane tank, just the right size for my portable barbecue grill. Easy to pick up and store. Seemed like a better idea than buying disposable one pounders.

slow waking up.

Good morning, the low temp is 13 and going up to 34°F. Wind N 9 mph. Sunny. The powers that be are still advertising a 'special weather statement'. I can expect about a foot of snow. This is a good thing. Just down the road where 'check' is at they can expect 6" of snow AND freezing rain. NO thanks.

check, do you have a loader on the tractor?
Yes I do. But it was not powerful enough to “walk” the tractor out. Going over with some planks today to put under the left rear tire, and try to winch it out with the ATV.

Morning all, 33 going up to 46, cloudy, winds are a little calmer.
Heard many cracks, trees falling and lost power for a few hours yesterday. Warmed up the genny, but power came back by 6:20, which is exactly when PECO said it would be back.

We left the oven on by mistake and when I flipped the breakers for the genny, it started to walk. Oops, genny off and ran to the house to find out what was still on and remembered the oven.

PJS - glad to see you back, sorry about Evey

Well, back to work, be well,

There are a few methods that can be used to make your tractor walk it's self out, however the safety police would be up in arms about them.
As a last resort if jacking n winching don't do the job and you have no one to call for assistance.
Chains and timbers can be used as traction aids very carefully. It is possible to get hurt or damage equipment with this method.

Also if you can get out by going forward, you have considerable pulling strength in you loader bucket. Chain off to something in front of your chain to your bucket with it dumped and as you curl it back it will have considerable pull.

corrected bull to pull

considerable bull. And pull too!

that sounds safer, might get a couple feet movement that way
always tricky working in snow
and easy to get hurt, safety first

I'd have my friend who owns a gas station with a wrecker come over. Little far to Check

Good morning, wind has died down some this morning after a rough couple of days. 32 going to 46 today. Got the stove going this morning after sleeping in a little longer than normal.

Setting up appointment today for PT

Have gotten out of most stuck conditions with the tractor by using the bucket in combination with 4 wheel drive and locked diff. Also used on occasion flex straps that with a jerk can break it loose.

Good morning! Low of 40°, heading towards 58°. Sunny this morning, good chances of some showers this evening and again tomorrow. Then rain / snow this weekend.

PJ, sorry to hear about Evey. Very hard to loose a close companion.

Kinda had it out with the idiot neighbor tearing up the road. Started out he was very argumentative, but we were able to come to a mutually acceptable conclusion..... we'll see how well he understood the road building concept.

The funny part (not really) was that he was blatantly telling us that he was "buzzed" while trying to use the bulldozer...... well that explains why the road looks like it did afterwards......

Just piddling yesterday.... aside from picking up a small grocery list. More piddling today.
