Agree Eddie

I just looked at current prices. Wow!!

Kyle, the wheeled ex is still here. I’m fearful of teaching the wife how to operate as she would dig me a grave as her first project.

No more fast cars. That old (cheap) 2001 Porsche above has been a lot of affordable fun.

I kept the yammar as anything that makes my life easier likely has to stay around to help me.

Retirement and a medical condition have slowed me down. I have to plan a lot more and monitor myself to avoid injury

Thx for the kind words

Getting old isn’t easy!
Hope you get better, and take care of yourself as best as possible. Prayers.

You would be a fun neighbor to have.

very cool little scraper blade, had to zoom in to see it.

I had one very similar on my Gravely for awhile, what a huge amount of hand work it saved on family farm's
1/3 mile long gravel driveway. Not having larger machinery, had to wait until after a good rain that softened things up, and
then I could push that mid mount blade down as hard as it would go without stopping the tractor.
must be fun for you to come off that and get into that giant excavator

it’s hard to say if there is any market now for garden tractors with the advent of SCUTs but this thing is easy to work on and tough. It is literally 20 min to swap an engine or about 8 bolts to exchange nearly anything

I like that under body scrapper that's on it. Many years ago I had seen one on a Gravely riding lawn tractor. Guy used it to maintain the long driveway. Too bad SCUTS don't offer them now. Jon

It is handy
Angles 4 ways.
Just put more pressure on one foot to get that side to “dig”

Well it was time for a mask upgrade.
I went with the Sundstrom SR 500/580 PAPR kit is a belt mounted Powered Air-Purifying Respirator

I’m kinda done with everything I needed to sandblast w the dustless and may let it go.

(Tho having sold things I thought I was “done with “ before hasn’t worked out well!)

Nevertheless, the mask I will keep, coal forging and grinding are still necessary tasks and this should serve me well.
