Randy, one of my "issues" that I resolved before marriage was that I wasn't selling any toys because "SHE" said so. My wife was much the opposite... I've had to buy 2 of everything I had until kids came along. Now my practical side is kicking in, I try to make sure what toys I buy can be multiplied into family fun.

Just one more thing to be thankful for...

Have a great evening everyone!!!
We have the same thing going here and it has worked very well

I just started my 7 day weekend so I hope the good weather remains in our area so I can get some more miles logged in the panel.

Thats good to hear. I see too many adds on kijiji and other places that read "wife says it must go" kind of thing. I want to email them and tell them if thats the case, find another life partner that enjoys the same stuff, or one that won't demand that you change your lifestyle. The only thing I gave up when I met my wife was seeing other women

Morning fellas!! If this weather keeps up for another month, we're going to be pretty happy campers!!!

Started to drill piles last night for my addition. Borrowed skid steer was too small and couldn't get far enough... Low speed hydraulics don't help... Guess I rent a larger one or hire my friend with his equipment.

Have a great day everyone!!

I`m lovin` this weather too Sherm!
It`s not likely the skid steer is too small but the auger drive isn`t geared properly. I rented an auger drive that would drill 36'' holes with ease, I had my Bobcat idling.

One of my power rakes is a smaller Stihl and the other is a large Hasaquavna. They bought out Blue Bird.

I believe you're right on the gearing of the auger. Its a Bobcat C15 head, the skid steer is a New Holland LS160...smaller machine, and low flow hydraulics. I'm going to rent a S205 today and get the job done right.

Good morning everyone. The forecast is looking great... I only hope it comes true!!

Gerry, I hope those boys know what they're doing

Harness that rain and send it south Grant, I don't want to see any here but don't think I'm going to get my wish. Pretty overcast here right now. Managed to log another 300+ kilometers on the panel yesterday and hoping to put some more on it before the weather turns for the worse.
