Pellet heads!! What's up today?

The boss is working at a quilt show today so the bear can do as he wishes as far as fodder and such goes.

Oh, the birds are depleting their feeders fast.

 

It took you three days to move those?

 

maybe 4 or 5 not sure Earl....cats and whatnot trippin me up

 

you can see one of the little %&*$* lookin out the screen door

 

yes tractor is slow

 

That one is supervising. Difficult to find good help these days...

 

Said the cat

 

If I had all those toys, I'd take three days too! My pellets come from the spot they were delivered in the driveway, down three steps, around the house, (downhill), and into the cellar. One bag at a time, by hand!

 

Tools are a nice perk....makes life much easier

 

Slow...?????? only if you got it down in the business gears


About 5o hp tractor....is it Hydrostatic drive ?????

We bought a Mahindra Max22 HST with loader bucket back in May of 2013

Does a great job for what we need ....most of the time.

 

That is tough, no question. Mine get delivered and placed in the garage on the pallets by their electric pallet jack.

I move 10-15 at a time into the side porch and stack them. It’s on a raised slab so no weight concerns. From there they go into the stove in the next room.

I feel for the guys with those long trips.

 

Have our pellets put into a 10' x 10' shed-in-a-box (holds 4 pallets on the ground, I stack another 30-40 bags on top of each pallet). I bring in 30 bags at the start of each month from Oct-April. Stack them on front step then bring them in and stack around corner from P43. Since starting Keto and working out every other day a year ago, those 40lb bags are a piece of cake to lug around now.

For 10 years now I've been hauling 5 tons or more a year into my basement 1 bag at a time. No more. I have 1 ton of Platinums down there I brought down earlier this summer, but my back is done. I'm in constant pain and loosing sleep. I have 2 tons of MWP coming in a few weeks. One will stay in the driveway and I'll burn them as I need them. I'll recruit help to take the second one downstairs.

 

Sorry for you pain and sleeplessness. Smart to get some help if you can.

 

I hear ya. I gave it up last heating season both the pellets and the chickens. Water is heavy.

 

When it rains it pours......

Yesterday we started having issues with the septic system.

Tank was put in back in Aug 1993 and has never been cleaned.

YESSSSSS....WE ARE IN DEEP DOOOO..DOOOO

Spent yesterday with the Weeee tractor digging up the drain line to see if that was the issue..

Nope...line clear.

Dug out the tank top and pulled out one of the clean out plugs.

YUCK...Sucker is full
