Monkeying around in Shultzie's garage

[jbratton]

Wow! Always something isn’t it?

Thats a big ol tree! Oak tree I’m assuming?

 

[kshultz]

Silver Maple.

Was able to finish the clean up on the tree.

So then I had time to finish the Cub repair. All went smooth and working fine.

After a big mowing day here Saturday.

Busy weekend around the house. First up is I'm going to plow the garden. Plow has a flat tire. No big deal, I'll just run to town and have one of the two tire places put on a good used tire. The first place was closed. No big deal, there's another one just down the road. Now that place is closed too! That tire place has been open on Saturday mornings for the past 50 years that I can remember. Always busy on Saturday morning. What is it these days? Doesn't anyone want to work anymore? So a little bit angry I go back home. Sit and realize I may have an old tire down in the barn. Yep, perfect fit too. So I had to change the tire the old fashion way. So that put me about 3 hours behind schedule. Ended up getting the garden plowed and the lawn mowed. Was able to disc a little on Sunday, but it was still a little wet. Plan on finishing up tonight.

You got a nice place. How many acres do you have? And I sure do miss the flat land like that!

Thanks! I own 7 acers and with the rest of my family 80. Crops and a small woods.

Nice!...feels home-y just looking at the pics.
Although, I spent some time in Illinois and I wouldn't be able to do it...I need my rolling mountains to break up the view of the flat nothing.

I saw this little critter out of the corner of my eye. Winged him with the first round and took him out with the second.

[kzintner]

I cannot see what it is

 

[kshultz]

Ground hog. This is my 5th for the season. Not sure on the range, I'll have to measure it out. SKS 7.62X39 hollow point.

 

[kzintner]

Well at least he won’t see his shadow

My son and I had to move some stuff in the barn and needed to move a couple tractors out. He snapped this photo because he said he had to. I like how he uses the filters on his camera. I thought it turned out cool.

Makes the picture look vintage.

It was another mowing day yesterday. The zero turn broke again. This got ripped off the mower deck. Stacey said "it's not mowing right, something is wrong".

I think it started out just being a bad pulley, but we use headphones when mowing. That's risky because you can't hear the mower well enough to catch small problems before they turn into large ones. From the looks of the lawn it stopped mowing for about 30 yards and then caught and ripped off the weldment.

So I have about a week to get this back together. Sorry the last pic is a little blurry.
