Figured I'd head over here as BC has gone to sleep
2nd repeat of the Randy Bachmann show is on for entertainment
Want to put an equipment package together for next season as I don't want to wear myself out doing hand digging when I can use equipment. Had to get somewhat back in shape and needed to rebuild finances but that part is as good as it's going to get. Now it's time to make some money. Only going to be good for 12 to 15k next spring so either it's going to be a private piece together deal or a bankruptcy or some type of auction deal. Not going anywhere near a dealer but will go to a trade show in case I can land a trade in deal on the floor. Need a skidsteer, buckets, auger and 9" bit with a dump trailer.

Good day guys.
If I was close by I could help out you Perry, I have a Bobcat with buckets, post hole auger, a gravel truck and some spare time now and then.
Still very cloudy here too John.

Good evening everyone, it was such a nice warm sunny day here today we jumped in the panel and drive 90 miles for a cup of coffee, might be the last ride for this year but still hope to squeeze a few more in before things get ugly..

Good evening folks
Got the first part of my walk way done, stays chilly here until 2 then it starts to warm up, not a big problem unless your using a wet saw. My good neighbor spent 7 hours over 2 days putting on 1 piece of siding, it's a 20 minute job normally. Showed him how to do it about 5 times, home maintenance is not his forte.
Get to set my tool shed in place tomorrow and set up the footing and prep for stone work, Can hardly wait to get my yard back in shape and get onto my truck projects.

I still hope to get a bit more seat time in the Mustang before it snows.
Home maintenance is not my forte either Perry, a good thing both my sons are good at it..
Thanks Ian, hope you had a good day too.

Good evening Morris
Weather is good but it doesn't start until 2 in the aft
Thanks for the offer but I need to get some equipment for a couple of reasons, one is mobility. Comes in handy when you can bring your work with you if you feel like a working holiday.

Good evening Perry.
The weather is ok here but very damp.
I hear you, I like having my own equipment too, even thought it may not get a lot of use at times it`s a matter of convenience.

There's options for me if I have the right collection of tools and equipment. With all this bs going on down south it's best to make sure to be prepared for left field surprises. May have to dig our own bat caves..lol

The crop is in the bin thankfully but, I still have some clean up and odd jobs to do and I was hoping to do some fall spraying also.
Seen some combines going yesterday so that is a good sign. Maybe now that we have had a full moon the weather will improve.
