MEL....

Wellll... Since the tractor restoration and the logging show are over we've been trying to catch up with our day job. As you know we pretty much abandoned it (with the help of 67"of rain this season). Last week we did a full court press on our 2 water trucks to get them inspected and pump tested for our Cal Fire contract that are renewed every three years. (that was supposed to be done while we were at the show). Also started processing some gravel in the screen plant and David delivered some septic tanks. We put a new bearing in our cement screw so we could start batching cement to pour septic tanks. Our guy started pouring tanks again this past Wednesday. He had spent all winter cleaning forms and making repairs on forms. We'll probably ratchet that up to 2 tanks a day this coming week. We have a stock trailer that we were renovating that got put back in the shop (where the orange tractor was) to get done for spring time cattle handling. Yesterday David got out the tractor with the 3 point mower and did some weed eating. I got the 3 point sprayer going for some roundup spraying to start next week. The grandsons baseball games started yesterday, had a 12:30 and 5:30 game to go to. It was 84 degrees here yesterday also. Tractor wise though, you'll be happy to know that I took the hood of of one of our best 11Bs to get to the fuel pump that needs to come off, then on to a 7G that needs to have some attention. Right now I'm at the computer trying to hook up a new printer on one of our home computers for my wife to print ebay labels (and yes that's the most important thing happening here). These are some of the things I think we are working on. nothing happening here. (LOL)

well...I guess ya'll don't need me to come out and look for things for ya to do! lol

Darrel said I should pull the snow machine out to your place and maybe David would paint it purdy for me?

At least then you wouldn't be using for the week you spend pulling it out there, and then if David spends a year painting it (I would encourage him to take at least that long), that would be down time for it, and then another week pulling it back home. Darrel

You all certainly know how to beat yourselves!!

well Mel...i'm glad you and David are able to rest up after that HD11 ordeal! now I see you are taking it a little easier! ya'll ain't gitting no younger ya know! i'm sure you'll have that IH shinning soon?

And, the F-150, in the picture above the H20 truck...

Sure would like the bed off that pickup for mine that I am restoring. Looks likea 70s

soooooo....Mel....ya'll gonna do the re-furb thing with the IH? or just get it working for someone else?

i'm sure it'll work like it should after ya'll gits done with it!

YEP, 69.7" for the season. should go over the 70" by tonight. But it was only last week and off and on for another week (LOL). But man is the grass growin!! we have "HAPPY COWS!!", We had a couple of 85 degree days last week. Of course the new baby is still sitting out in the rain.

But I'm sure you'll notice that they are all still sitting close to that big building that should get a roof this year. We did get some siding on one end before it started raining back in November.

John, Shameless, FORD ALERT, to the right of the orange tractor and across the top of the blue trailer are 2 more fords 1960 PU, 1960 1ton flatbed with racks.

good thing there weren't no roof on that building! there would be trouble then!
