What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Better that way! When I buy a new or newer truck, I'll still have an old truck for firewood and pushing snow around. Don't wanna put a new truck in some ofthe places I've been to get wood! Hell, a new crew cab wouldn't even make it some places I've brought my Bronco!

 

+1! Glad to hear it LinkedXJ !

 

Snow falling on Vail Pass, about 42 outside, raining all day, and yes, I have a fire going.

 

90 here today (low humidity though, so that's nice)...haven't seen rain in weeks. Put laundry out to dry today...it practically went POOF...cloud of steam, and dry...

 

It was hot today. We were on the lake all day so it was just fine. Going to the Packers game tomorrow.

 

I'll send you some of this heavy rain I've got now. If it drops a few more degrees, I'll have slush on the ground by morning.

I am not ready for this yet.... grmbllgrmmbll...grumble.

 

just got home from helping friends put up 500 bales of second cut..time for bed ...

 

Installed an exterior door today. The job took a lot longer than I expected, but went real well.
Repaired my skid steer and it went much better then I anticipated. Fourth try and I hit the sweet spot when installing the pin. Probably should of attacked more projects the way things went.
I plan to make the final picking of the garden in the morning and put up the harvest.

 

Hound Dogs ride in the back, with the wood scrounge!

 

Supposed to be 90 here and humidity rising. very unusual for this time of year. Nights have mostly still been warm, in the 50's & 60's. Although the north country has seen much cooler morning lately. Far cry from a couple of weeks ago when I had the P43 running.

 

Second cutting huh? Is he just behind, or do you guys just have a a shorter growing season? 3rd is already in the barn here, and 4th is growing right now...

 

horse and sheep hay

needs 3 days to dry ... usually get first cut end of June this year so wet end of July our growing season will be over 2 weeks even though 80 today 40s at nite.. frost kills.. small hobby farm helps under privileged youth and 4H.. She got 1100 first cut only 500 2nd so is full.

all small 40 pound hay bales.. 5 horses mostly rescue dozen sheep dozen goats all for kids..
very little money as she only charges what they can afford.. picked each bale up 5 times anyway reminds you of wood huh..

 

Very cool to help out....those places can make a big impact with kids. Animals can really help heal the soul.

 

Been pecking away at the wood shed. Its my first attempt at wood shingles. Maddie, my obviously pudgy little puppy came out to check on the progress.



Ran the top shingles wild and cut them to length after setting a form up.



Got them installed before my bride asked me why the dryer wouldn't run.



Pulled the front and back covers off and cleaned and blew compressed air over the motor. Got it to do two loads before she finally quit for good. Time for a new motor. Doh!
