Morning Bill.
Well buddy if I showed you my list-you'd be tired.
Well here's the priority part.
40 yrd garbage bin finished
Order 15 Qrts of organic strawberries, and go in the pm to pick up.( 18qrts wasn't enough from the other day)
Stop at the butchers to P/U freshly ground dog food and bones for Max.
Go pick up our wheel of raw milk mixed organic cheese.
Bushgarden
Then there's the watering, chickens, weeding, trimming (that never got done 3/4 days ago)
And I'll certainly finish the day with a little play in the field of dreams-note heavy on the dream part.
I know how busy you are buddy, I just like to yank your chain occasionally!
You're definitely one the busiest 'retired guys' I know... except for my 90 year old neighbour who still cuts his grass and tends his garden everyday.
He's been retired for 35 years... my wife and I have always referred to him as 'Charles The Energizer Bunny'.
Love the look of the Bushgarden webpage too.

I'm thinking we're getting your rain also. Around 4" in three days. My peas said enough, enough.
Now have you ever heard of "sharing"?
It's sad to haul 35 gallons up to the garden and it just gets a watering done, not a soaking even.
A few years ago it was 300 a day when everything was starting to bare fruit.
Looks like another drought year.
Time to start thinking about digging my lake dump again.

You might try yanking the chain DaveI know how busy you are buddy, I just like to yank your chain occasionally!

But when I send you little pics of green in the hole, it yanks yours.
Nothing really special, but from out of the field of dreams it's pretty good.

Jim,
To bad the rain missed your area we do have 4 or so days of rain forecast but we'll see if it happens or not.

Any find from back then is a worthy find!
Good job!

Storms high winds hail inch or two of rain forecast this afternoon.
Need to make a run to a distant auto parts place for tractor fluid and a filter.
Try to beat the heat out in my workshop (the shade of a maple tree) and get the leaker squared up. Hydraulic fluid leaks into crankcase of engine and thins the oil... Being an early design , over seventy years old I should be able to get away with running engine oil in the hydraulics. Fix the hydraulic leak you say? Well , a new seal on the pump didn't do it. Replacing the pump with a better looking one didn't either...
And the machine shop fix (should a willing shop be found) of honing out a home for a more modern seal will take time and money needed elsewhere soon. IF the shop does the work right...
A good winter project, had I an outdoor building to tear a tractor down in.
Morning routine of a slice of toast with peanut butter has seen months of non first choice brand of peanut butter.
Stores still ain't back up to pre virus stocking /supplies.
So , I grabbed a house brand for the reserve I've now broken into.
Made in Canada! Thanks folks.

Good afternoon.
Been busy as per usual, and today is the day I do my weekly tour of duty in Lewis County. Sounds like a hard weekend this time.

The weather has swung a little back to the wetter side. Bill must of been feeling a tad guilty for taking most of it away.
There's times where I wouldn't trade the 5000/3000 for a new anything-then the next thought is I have a new tractor wrapped up in the 2 beasts. I have an issue with the filter being clogged in the power steering pump on the 5000. The back pressure causes it to leak, no time to do a parts run, maybe next week when I'm in that area.
Then the regulator is acting up again, so it throws 20+ amps into the battery when I'm at 1000rpm.
So I just shut the key off when i'm running around working.
Back into a tree no problem, run over something-no problem.
When I break it-the tractor guy fixes it-$30 per hr, machine shop redoes the machining-$40 per hr. Cheap-cheap the way I look at it.
