The 5 signs of laziness: 1.

We rented an mini excavator over the weekend to get some work done around the farm. Cleaned out the creek, some of the fence line, and the entrances to the driveway and the barns. The excavator ripped the stuff out and the Kubota hauled it to the piles.

Depending on what I'm wearing, G43 or G43X during the summer months. Winter time, G26 or G19. My wife has a G42 that she carries. Yet, if she is doing a lot of shooting, she prefers her G19.

Well, your ears are better than mine, all I hear is an engine running. Although if the noise sounds at all like a woman's voice, I may be subconsciously blocking it, my wife says I don't listen to a thing she says.

Tick borne illnesses are a big problem. My wife has Lyme disease. She was walking on her mail route and when she got home she noticed a tick on the back of her leg. Went to the doctor to get it removed. Since her tick bite didn't have the red bullseye, the doctor said no concerns. 10 years later...

I wear blue jeans, short sleeve shirt, brightly colored (easier to see ticks on it), gloves, and I have a full brim hat. I also use Sawyer Picaridin Insect repellent. So, far that has done the trick with no ticks or insect bites. My wife, who is very allergic to poison ivy, uses a...

OK, I have seen it all now. I will have to go home and tell my wife that Jesus owns a Kubota. I knew it was a good tractor, just didn't realize it was that good. :p

1-3 months isn't long term storage. Since you have a snowblower, assuming you live where it is cold enough to gel fuel. So, you may want to research a few of the forum post on additives and see which one will meet your need. I have used the Biobor JF, about twice a year to treat the tractors...

White vinegar (acetic acid) can dissolve calcium and some mineral deposits. CLR will also work (phosphoric acid) does a good job of breaking it up. Muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) works really well on tough deposits. Yet, a couple of items of note. You are using a strong acid mixture. So...

Sadly, we have had to shot dogs out on the farm. When grandpa had cows, there was a small pack of dogs (5 of them) that got into the pasture with the cows. They ended up running down and killing two calves (the dogs ran the young calves to death). Grandpa didn't get mad often, but he was ticked...

We got double the 30-year average in July (30 yr-4.05"; 2025-8.76"). Yet that is an average of all the areas. Some of our areas recorded 10 inches of rain in a three hour time period during the month of July. Lots of spotty heavy downpours along with widespread rain. Looking at the yearly...

I walked outside and almost had to go back in and get a jacket. Last few mornings has been in the 80s when I walk out with high humidity. This morning walked out and it showed 63 on the truck temp gauge and there is very little humidity.
