What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

It's "today" and "hooray" all in one.

Lol

 

Awesome, did you check out any of the walking trails?

 

Is it bad that I'm sitting here trying to enjoy the peace of my porch, while hoping for some sort of fireworks related accident for either of the neighbors that are currently setting off a chitton of them?

 

Between yesterday and today I finished up splitting and stacking my shoulder wood for 20-21. Box elder and poplar. Nice working in the woods in the shade with low humidity. Temps in the 80's weren't all that bad.

 

Not at all. What would be nice would be to go over and wake them up about 3:30 tomorrow morning and personally thank them for the entertainment provided this evening............................ as well, I could think of at least 4 novel ways to wake them up for that thank you.!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

While I fully understand the sentiment, the post was put up @ 9PM, that's a bit different than 3:30 AM.
7:30 AM.. sure.

 

Like emptying two magazines from a 1911 into his truck?

 

An hour and a half later, and they're still going off. I didnt mone much the first few days....but this is now day five, and I'm done.

 

Just got back from friends fireworks. Nice show!

So my new to me Kubota tractor had some minor issues that they are attending too.

I bought it site unseen. I have done this before, several times, with no problems. And when I spend this much money on a machine I expect it to be right, aesthetically and mechanically.

It did not look as nice as it did in the pictures from their website. More sun faded, Rear right fender had a bend in it. Some lights didn’t work. etc. I wasn’t happy. I told the transporter to not unload it and I called the guy I bought it from right away.

He is being good about it. He apologized and offered a nice financial discount along with fixing all the problems. The discount will help me out so accepted it that day with his promises to fix everything.( including new fender)

After I had a chance to run it I also found a leak. Appeared to be hydraulic. So I told him I needed this leak fixed ASAP, and that I did not want to be working on it right after I bought it, and they should just take care of everything at once. So he said they would come and pick it up soon and get it taken care of. (The tractor runs like a top and performs nicely.)

Them coming to pick it up at that time created a problem because I was starting my vacation and had all kinds of tractor work planned. So I said to him that I had waited a long time to get my tractor after I paid them and now they had to take it and fix it. I knew they had all kinds of equipment (they are a big outfit), and asked him if he could lend me a mini Excavator for 2-3 days while they fixed my tractor. I explained to him I had a lot of digging to do and it would really help me out. ( And I would pay s few hundred for transportation cost.) And he said alright.

When they brought the mini and took my tractor I asked him in a text if I should have mini ready to go back in 2 days? 3 days? He said they would not take it back until my tractor was done. I have not heard from them in a week.

Hopefully all works out well. He seems like he is trying to make things right.

Sorry about the novel.

 

Sometimes life is that way.

 

Got off the lake around 6 this evening. Ate dinner sat around a bit then headed back to the lake about 750 for 9pm fireworks.

 

We just walked down by the lake. I got pretty nostalgic remembering the paddle boats, the ferris wheel, and the kiddee rides on the opposite side of the lake. At least there were some Canada geese. My son got pecked by an ostrich there when he was 2 and a half, made an indelible memory.

 

That’s way to long Pete! No pallets for you!

 

Caffeine going in. I’m not feeling like moving very fast this morning. I only had 2 beers last night before dinner so it’s not that. I think sitting in this Excavator for 8-10 hours for the last 6 days is getting on my nerves. I have only gone running once in the last week.
