Life on the Farm

BJ da Man!
You are busier than a one legged man at an a$$ kickin contest! Of my four oldest grands. I got one who loves the outdoors and primitive skills as much as I do. The rest are so "digital" I shudder for their survival! My younger grands are also very digital. Our family reunions have dues. Guess you gotta pay to belong. That could contribute to why I don't go. Some day, I hope to meet man of m PA family! Some of you will come to me, I do hope to make it to the Classic sometime! My door is always open and coffee can be ready soon!

Morning, Brian!  Always enjoy watching the circle of the seasons on this thread.  That green truck is awfully pretty!

Man that looks great, nice work for sure, sorry I missed you at ElmHall, maybe next year.

Thanks guys. I do love the progression of the year WB. It’s usually the same every year, but different.

Fair is over. Have wheat stubble fields all ready for cover crop seeding.


In the shop another big project.

We were planning on doing this one since last year.

We have two carts we use to catch grain, beans or sugar beets. They were built by a local fabricator and we really like them. They have a weak point though. The undercarriage for the tracks leaves a bit to be desired. Really shouldn’t complain but after twenty some years it is worn out.

We bought a pair of track carriages and now we need to mount them to our cart. We had we remove old carriages and cut off the mounting system for them. Now we need to make a undercarriage to connect both tracks to the cart

Before I came home tonight I stopped by the beach.  I have as my cousin would say “A milkweed garden “. They like my beach too.

Speaking of garden. The first cobs of corn for supper just off the stalk and into the kettle. Man it tasted good

fresh corn is always the best! Milkweed makes nice string!
