On the wagon

[bunyip]

Sort of, suffering depression and other forms of withdrawal, due to circumstances beyond my control I have not been on the tractor for about 5 weeks and it is having a detrimental effect, look like another week at least before I can get out and put in some fenceposts that need replacing and harrow the horse paddocks, are the hallucinations normal and wondering if it is still in the shed.
Blackberries are running rampant and need spraying before they start flowering, just need to feel the power of operating the FEL and moving around, such is the hopelessness of this addiction.

I got on the Kubota and put up some T post and moved some dirt around my pond. It's still pretty muddy, but managed to move some dirt.
Had I taken my CX105 to the pond area, I would have gotten stuck.

It's raining here now. So, I imagine I'll have to wait a while till I'm able to get back down to the pond without getting stuck

5 weeks!

You're buggered Mate. You'll have to re-read your Owner Manual, cover to cover, twice.

On the cusp for a full fluid/oil/filter change too... your call though.

I went out to the shop and started mine yesterday just so I could here it run, Yiks.

It's been a tad over two months for me. I go out every two weeks - fire it up - make one loop of the 80. Otherwise, I start to rust up. Waiting for snow can be the pits. All is ready - the driveway is frozen up hard as granite - the tractor, rear blade & grapple are all greased up. It's up to Mother Nature now.

Early stages of nasty side affects ahead it's not cure but start and let the tractor run and give it good wipe down...tractoring in your blood and there ain't no cure.

I remember feeling blue one time when my tractor was out of whack. That was over thirty years ago.

I am feeling depressed also.Cannot drive my challenger until April.

I am fortunate that my interests are diversified enough that I can always do something.

Hopefully your hopeless situation will soon reverse itself Mate!!!

I have plenty to do like finish fixing the dishwasher, sort out the BBQ area, kick the dog (except he bites back), just bought myself a lute and coming to terms with tuning it which is quite a challenge, lawns need cutting...... when it stops raining, new shower to finish putting in, just miss the tractor and what I can do with less effort.

I know where your coming from friend. If you are a bit depressed, you get behind on your chores, then you get more depressed because you see all the stuff that you are behind on. It is an endless cycle. You (we) have to get control of the situation and force our selves to get stuff done. It is hard when you're stuck in a rut though. ptimist:

Nothing like a patty melt....
7 courses and 13 strings, firts is a single course rest are doubles but courses 5-6-7 string are different diameters (on the same course) and tuned an octave apart so you get a high and low note which gives them the unique sound, very fickle with weather changes, very light weight and a lot of work in the build as the body is made up of 25 staves with a very thin contrasting wood between each stave, the frets are tied gut.
I bought iot of a frustated player who had not played one before and it only cost me a few hundred $$$$$, I have played before but the technique is completely different to guitar, the bowl is deep and it sits a fair way from the player (although my middle doesn't help the cause any) and being rounded wants to fall off so you have to use a strap to hold it up.
Made of lacewood in this instance, this is mine pictured.

Sorry, I was typing while you had replied, not depressed, yet, I get behind because there are other things I would rather be doing but the other half gets home and kicks me into line, unlike the dog I am not allowed to bite back.
