anybody else getting stuff done?

I wish I was getting something done. Cleaned out the creek crossing this morning so I could plow today. But low and behold I pulled a mussel in my lower back. Nothing will get done now for days.  

How can a person get anything done when the white s#it keeps falling from the sky.  It's in the low 30's and a mix between snow and rain with a raw wind.  Late last week/early this week tore into several projects found out what parts I needed and now that I got them it is too wet, muddy, and misearble to work on anything if is not already in the shop.  All I have that I can work on is refilling the 6080 diff/hydro oil.  I had to get the 7080 out to move the livestock trailer around with feeded pigs in it the pick-up would way have been stuck.

^^^ same here wet, mud, wind, lots of snow yet. Rain and snow for the next ten days!

Got my Bush Hog mostly finished. Still needs welds gone over with a hotter welder and cut a couple pieces off. Might even shoot it with paint later but, it's a working BushHog so it might not. Sharened the blades, too, they were dull as my finger last year when I used it ! I was gonna make a separate post for this but this post works. Here is a short video showing it lowering and raising back up. Sorry for the wind noise.

I got the culvers chopped out so the flood waters can flow away , and rebuilt the transfer case in my plow truck. No tractor work since I put new wheels and tires on the WD45 two weeks ago.

Yes I tinkered today and plowed the garden. The B was enjoying the day out

Managed to grade mine and neighbors driveway, hauled a load of shop stuff out of the basement, (honey-do), and most of all, got the front axel of the U apart.

Got the tires off of my F & H spoked 24" rims on Saturday.   Took a small load of scrap parts in the back of the truck and dropped it off and then went to the feed mill.   Ground corn, and mixed chicken food today and got my one garden tractor in to try and fix and oil leak on it.   New front cover seal and some silicone and a prayer and it might actually run without spewing oil everywhere.   Otherwise it is new engine time.  Cleaned up some more of the garage today.   Still behind schedule and the D19 I bought in December is still on the trailer awaiting a split and a clutch.    Now the yard is so muddy I am hoping for a cold spell to freeze things up so I can move it over and put it on the concrete and proceed with the clutch job. 

We couldn't be much farther apart and both still be in the UP. I'm just a few miles west of I75, between the Soo and St.Ignace.

I got my drive graded off 3 weeks ago, hauled my junk car to the scrap yard last week. I've been pulling fence on the south side of the house and trying to get the yard cleaned up before I have to start working on a mower. Grass has grown an inch just today. I've had Lena in the garage for a week and have only looked things over as to what needs to  be done to finish her. Don't seem like that will ever get done. Sure glad our snow is gone and I hope it stays gone cause I got my years growth of hair chopped off Friday.

Windy as hell but 80+ degrees in southern Illinois. I am repainting the front rims on my D17. After sandblasting and primer I masked off the area between silver and cream paint. First coats of silver are on!! Also mowed grass for the first time. We are expecting some strong storms tonight. Ryan

Rebuilt the overrunning clutch on the Hesston 1060 diskbine today. Next is the hydraulics on the 190XT, keeps losing prime. I'll change the seal in the pump when I can find one. Then it will be rebuilding the garden tractor engine.

Harrowed chips in the meadow this weekend. It was a blast me on my B and two fighter jets dogfighting on the horizon for about an hour. We live in a area where every now and then pilots in training fly. I assume they are F16s, I'm not up on my aircraft.

I will after tuesday. I have an exam tomorrow and ROTC stuff all day tuesday. After that, I'm free for a week until another exam. So much stuff I need to get done before that time.....

Still stuck lyin flat on my back with this herniated disc... surgery on Tuesday, so as soon as i can move, Ill be makin up time.  I DID pull my son up alongside the bed and design a solar-powered power-vent to evacuate ammonia/methane  fumes from the hen-house, got parts list made, abd parts ordered, and he learned how to read part specs and pick appropriate parts...  good skill for a 9-yr-old.
