What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Say what?

 

I did get in on a raffle. I think it was over there. Who did that raffle again? Link?

 

That was mastermind right?

 

Hey thanks. Over there checking it out now.

 

Let us know what goodies you pick. From that list over there, I'd be getting the Homelite410 vice.

 

Recliner with heat and massage! All electric controls.

 

I know I may well be in the minority here, but this time of year, I prefer the hot chocolate over other "more spirited" beverages.

 

All the saws were picked already, except an older Homelite, which was still a nice saw. But I chose a line that said, Husqvarna Forester's Helmet, Husqvarna Chaps, and Leather work gloves! Saaaaweeeeeet!

 

Bit the bullet and did some shopping for the next mini-project - upgrading the baby 'bota's lighting to LEDs.

Grabbed one for the front and one for the rear. 54W combo for the front and a 36W flood for the rear.

These are the types of projects I actually enjoy doing. Hopefully get to it before any snow flies.

 

4 hour layover in vegas. I may actually go crazy(er).

 

Cool. Hey, cnice_37. I have two holes up front and on back of my TLB for mounting lights. But I am no electrician. Could you tell me what lights are best and what I have to do to install them? Is wiring them a PIA? How do I install switch to turn them on/off, etc.?

 

Is there any decent food there? Or do they need your entire bank account for a dinner?

Sure, I'll do my "build" thread but many ways to skin the cat. They come in Friday, so stay tuned.

 

It's pretty pricey. I'm too wore out to eat much though.

 

I'm looking at a kit for the L35, not from Kubota. But "built for your specific series tractor". Kit includes wiring, switch, and two lights. Over $100 though. But I see kits with four lights for $69 on eBay that look nice. But it does not say how long wires are and it does not include waterproof switch.

 

I gained a pound just looking at it. I love that stuff, all of it!

 

Last Wed. I stayed up to 11 PM baking Christmas fruitcakes. Today I baked shortbread. Both are stored away until the holidays but not before a little testing of shortbread was done. All is gooder

 

I can say that I never enjoyed fruitcake. Ever. Even wondered why it existed.
One year not long ago, Mom got a fruitcake made by some monks in Eagle Harbor Michigan in the Keewenaw peninsula. Brandy was used in the recipe. Man, was that ever good! It is sold for $50 on-line. Think I'll just wait until I get up there next time.
Maybe you can have a little side income?

 

I did some searching, mostly on tractorbynet and youtube, go get an idea of what kind of wattage (or lumens) I wanted. I think this will be plenty for my application.

Lights were just over $60 and switches $10 for the 2. I don't see the need for a relay for relatively low current, and I have fuses and wiring on hand. But I can see this as a $100 project otherwise. There are $12 18W deals that will probably blow away what I've got now, but hey what if a football game breaks out in my back yard... in the middle of the night? Can never be too prepared.

I was going to re-mount my halogens this year anyways and one burnt out on me. Good time to do it.
