    Two wheel drive tractors

    There are times especially in the spring where ground not completely frozen and top soil is like grease on top of frozen ground. Even food plot fields when dragging discs, seeders, etc. can cause traction issues. 4WD has been a real plus.

    Health issues

    Cancer is like whack-a-mole. It pops up, you knock that one down, and it pops up somewhere else. Keep working the treatment and stay positive!

    What's for dinner?

    Was in Cairo, Egypt for 10 days cruising the Nile and seeing all the great sights. One of our meals was table top slow roasted lamb, chicken, & vegetables. Grilling is a way of life there. The pita bread, called eish baladi, went well with the dipping sauces ... lots of garlic, herbs, sour...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Realtor interaction etiquette

    Has nothing to do with that. You are a buyer and the only person looking out for your interests are you. Don't get me started about engineers ... worked with and managed them all my career. Analytical types are worst decisions makers even when the answer is standing right in front of them. 😲😀

    RIP to the biggest POS

    What ratio of gly do you use? I use 2.5 oz of gly per 1 gal of water.

    RIP to the biggest POS

    So between 10 - 30 gal/acre ... That's nailing it down 😁 When I use my 25 gal Fimco, which think is running too high and I have it running at the lowest pressure that the nozzles will perform at, I get ~1-1.5 acres. I am usually having to drive at a pretty fast to keep up with spray volume. So...

    Habitat out loud

    That's why early false springs are so annoying. People start to think winter is over ... wrong! Still March, lots of potential winter surprises. I did get 2 acres of clover frost seeded yesterday right before the rain came so I was happy with that.

    Two wheel drive tractors

    Anytime I have gotten in a sticky/slippery situation, the back tires space between the treads fill eliminating the effectiveness of the treat. I assume the same would happen with chains. Once I engage the 4WD, the pulling action from the front wheels, along with the weight of the engine on them...

    He wasn't genuine, he was worried about losing his commission. I'd drop this guy without a second thought.
