Yeah, just try to find Thox Rock on your map app.

I get a kick out of town/place names in the ozarks.

Blue Eye, Licking, Dolittle, etc.

Our street address is Licking, but we live closer to Success.

Finally got to load these pics. Visited my niece and her husband, got to drive these and put up some round bales. I had a blast. Can't stop smiling about those 2 tractors.

The 3020 is more practical, I think, for moving round bales. But that 730 is just sooooooo much fun. Only drawback to the 730, that I could see, is you need 4 legs and 3 hands to operate all the levers.

Dibs on that 730!!!!

I am glad July is over. It's been a rough one.

I've been absent lately but I have an excuse. Around July 1st my wife had a lot of abdominal pain and a trip to the doctor revealed a peritoneal cyst about the size of a baseball and the possibility of cancer. We went from his office to a specialist - then to a cancer specialist who scheduled the surgery ASAP. The cyst had grown to softball size. She had the surgery to remove the cyst on July 25th and although it was a rough surgery for her, all went well. Cyst removed without complication and no signs of cancer. The cyst was cantaloupe size when he removed it.

She has been recovering since the 25th which has put me in charge of nurse duties, meals, medications, scheduling doctor visits, kitchen, garden, housecleaning, etc... She has been doing pretty good today, although I am ready for her to be back to normal. Since she can't lift much or do a whole lot, that has put me in charge of gathering vegetables from the garden, processing and canning them. Ugh. This may be my least favorite part of the whole thing. Canning vegetables ain't fun and it ain't for sissies.

However, if you need any tips on canning green beans or squash relish feel free to give me a call.

Dang Man, I hope She gets better soon. I've always been lucky as my Wife waits to can (mostly) until Winter and I always manage to go cut firewood while She and Her sisters make a disaster in the kitchen...

Geeeze Marc, soooo glad it wasn't cancer and happy she's on the mend. If you need some help this weekend, give me a shout. Goldie and I will come down and help do something.

The neighbors have a nice 4020 that I grab when I need... I'd love to bring it home, front-end loader and all...

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Mark so glad she is doing well.

I appreciate the offer, and all the words of encouragement. I'm actually in pretty good shape all things considered. I even had enough time between appointments to stop at a flea market and pick this up:


The plastic is a little rough, but it starts and runs well. Can't decide if I want to fix the plastic and keep it or flip it. I can't really justify another saw, but I couldn't justify the last twelve either. The wife was on pain meds at the time so she approved the purchase without incident.

 

[Hedgerow]

One can make those really run with a simple tear down and transfer adjustment.

Morning midlanders.

Hang in there Marc!

Been a rash of health type issues amongst us lately. Cobey in the horse pistol, Steve with circulation trouble. Marc's wife.

And I have a tooth ache.[emoji20]

I should have requested an advanced ballot... I forgot about the state elections.
