    Hauled the RTV over to the Kubota dealer this morning and they installed a plug in heater in it. We use this everyday and I don’t want to have problems when it is -20.

    The tractor will go over after the parts are in for the roof. I told them to wait until the check comes in from the transport company for payment before they order the parts. They took responsibility and said they will overnight a check out today.

    The tractor will also get a plug in heater installed when the roof is getting fixed.

    Went for a good walk with my son, along the trails at the confluence of the two rivers, in the big city early this morning.

    He is home from college for the week. Has to run back over and work two shifts at his job at the restaurant here and there. But, besides that, the professors recorded the lectures for this week and they can watch them anytime on their computer.

    The temperature was about 25 by the time we went. A slight breeze was chilly. Walked about 4.5 miles I’d guess. Then he cooked us up some bacon, eggs, and biscuits. Dam good breakfast. I cleaned the Wood Gun out while he cooked.:handshake: Now letting digestion happen while relaxing a bit. Then it is off to loading up the garbage and going to the dump (transfer station). And hopefully then get some chainsaw work done. Trying to clean up the big burn piles a little at a time.

    Got a batch of deer chili and goose jerky going early this morning. Just wrapped up work for the week. Might head for the tree stand tonight and try to get some groceries.

    Kubota dealer called me and said they received payment for tractor quote. They will order parts now. 7-10 days for them to come in. Relief.

    It is fortunate they had you around to help explain things when they didn't know what they didn't know and YT wasn't explaining well.

    Sometimes those YT's give a critical piece of info without fanfare, and in just a second or two, that you don't catch it. Or, the creators make assumptions that everyone "knows" and they don't even bother. I don't know how many I've looked at and the part I want to see/explained (because the instructions are not clear to me) is glossed over; "attach the widget back behind" but they don't show it attached back there and they go on like there aren't several places it could go, or it's intuitive how to attach it.
