What Did You Accomplish in 2013?

[/pine]

IMO...it is daily accomplishments that are the most rewarding (for those without major projects...)...IMO the "stuff" you are expected to do or finish doesn't count...It's (mostly boring) stuff that needs doing that you will yourself to accomplish that help you sleep good...

Wow - Tractorbynet has more than one person who knows where Lansing, NC is. cmyoung2 do you ever make it to Phipps General Store on Friday nights? Corner of Bart Hurley Rd and Silas Creek Rd. I like to join in the picking and singing when I'm up there. There'll be a big gathering there Jan. 6th. I've played at the old Helton school a couple times too on Thursdays. Harder to get up there on a Thursday night from Raleigh.

That's easy... a couple of retaining walls that no way in heck could I have done with back, pick, and shovel in 10 years!

Aside from the "chores" we've cleared a little more of our property, built a barn and moved a couple of our out-buildings around the property. I've only put 25 hours on the new tractor since getting it in Sept and I only get home every few months for a few weeks at a time so we're usually at it pretty hard when I'm home.

I bought a 6' RFM so I'm using the 3930 more and leaving the B7500 under the shed. The new mower has my 6 acres of front yard looking better than it ever has. But my biggest accomplishment is the reduction of tonnage I'm putting on the tractors. There is .02 tons less of me than there was this time last year.

Congrats Larro... if I understand and did my math right, you are talking about 2.86 stone... I mean 40lbs! Well done. Unfortunately I need to do 75% of that next year says the better half. I am sure my back would appreciate it too.

My biggest tractor accomplishment of 2013 was trading my JD 4010 in on a new JD 1025, because the drive link between the engine and hydraulics on the 4010 broke. Everything's better except for the tires (R4s aren't as good for turning on the 1025) and fuel consumption. I'd much rather have had something like a 1018S ("s" for gimme my split brakes that I had on the 4010 and "18" for less hp).

Among the many projects...installed my 2500 gallon rain barrel. Got it by breeding Tilapia in the basement, trading 100 fry(baby fish) for an old rotted dune buggy, selling the buggy for $350, and buying the tank for the same amount. So basically my fish gave live birth to this 2500 gallon tank! ha ha!

Your math is right. I went from 17 stone down to 14.14 stone. My back still hurts, just not as often or as bad. I'm doing the 5-2 fasting thing like Sodamo. Hasn't been hard so far.
