We made some progress on our 6 axle trailer frame. Have most of the poor metal cut out. We will replace with new.

Thanks Pappy. We had my grandpa’s shop when I was growing up. It served him good, but it was way to small for any equipment and not insulated so it was half wood stove.
We literally worked on stuff in snowbanks. Used the shop to come in and warm up. And keep our tools in.
When I was in electronics school we built a 50’x50’ shop insulated. We got a lot done in that shop but it too was really too small for our equipment. About 15 or twenty years ago we put a 72’x70’ addition on the 50’x50’. Now we can work on most things inside. Still a few pieces we can’t fold out to field mode inside.
Working on my sprayer today. Outside. Was mid to high 60’s and sunny yesterday today just barely above freezing. Rain snow mix and really windy.
That’s spring right next to Lake Huron.

Today is sunny and hoping to plant some beets. The field is dry enough now.
My problem now is that I’m waiting for a couple starting capacitors for my electric motor on fertilizer pump. Ordered a few days ago. Really hoping it shows up any minute. Won’t be able to plant if I don’t get them soon.

Hope the parts come in BJ, always hated waiting on parts when I had my shop. Weather has been nice here the last few days but looks like we might be in for a change for the next few, never know, :-\ it was supposed to rain yesterday and didn't, the weather folks now days don't seem to have a clue what is going to happen, they are pretty good at telling you what happened but not what is going to happen. :) I tell people that only 1 knows for sure and he ant telling. ;) :) :)
