This is the dryest the gardens been this year and rain is on the way. Got it tilled up. And some tomatoes, peppers, water mellons, cantalope, and green and yellow beens. Oh and onions. Pretty hard to make a trench in the mud clay so used a pry bar to make a hole and drop each bean in lol.
Never done it that way befor but it should work. My son helped me get it planted.

These bales were heavy! Mileage was probably 6-8.

That thing gets way better mileage than my ‘16, or the ‘17 I had for a month.

This was me with 25,000 lbs gross a couple of weeks ago.... about 3 MPG. Notice my average of 11.8... it doesn’t really change, even on long trips on the highway. Plus it regens about once a week.

When I hit the pavement at the highway I knew it was a lot heavier than I originally thought. I was almost about to call a guy I knew on the way and unload some of them. I think through the mountains I was probably getting that. I pulled both mountains with it on the floor to keep 40 mph. The 4x4 trwctor and baler on the same trailer I could maintain the speed limit on one and was at 65 plus on the other one.

That was all I had going up a pretty steep grade... flat ground is definitely easier.

I hauled a dump trailer loaded with scrap concrete and I had to put it in low range to get up the hill where I dump it... I don’t know how heavy it was, but it was way heavier than the 25,000 lb load of crushed rock. It’s not a good feeling to think you’re not going to make it up a hill with well over 30,000 lbs... but the trailer and truck both have pretty good brakes, and I was able to stop and shift into low range.

No doubt. I left the quarry with the 11 Cummins at 25-26k a couple times. The trailer brakes quit on me on one hill. The plug lead came loose and pulled all but 1 wore loose. Trying to re-wire on the side of the road is interesting.

25k gross is nothing for the 6.7. I used to do it with my ‘06 Cummins/G56, but it was about all I felt comfortable hauling with that truck. The 6.7 Powerstroke makes it seem almost effortless.

It’s really not. I did wish I had more wheels and power with this last load of hay.

Not only do we have castles in the Irelands, but we also have ruins and churches and towers etc. Judging by how much scaffolding I have seen about the place, it must take a long time and a lot of work to make ruins here.

Also, here's a pic of Castle KilKenny I forgot to add in the previous posting:

Here's a two-for...well, actually a 3-for. The Christ Church in city centre Waterford looming above the old Waterford Crystal house, right next to the new Waterford Crystal house extension and tourist house:

Tankardstown Copper smelting stack, Waterford:

Tigh Mochua - Timahoe - House of Mochua tower and church:

Hore Abbey, Cashel, seen from the Rock of Cashel. Hore is the English butchering of 'iubhair(hyoo-ahr)' which means 'yew' and is very similar to the old English for yew as well. Though there is a super soft 'v' sound in the middle that you wouldn't catch unless you were used to hearing Irish. Most churches, if not all of them, and Abbeys will have yew trees planted about them. Cemeteries and graveyards here also would do.

Glendalough - Gleann dá Loch, Valley of the two lakes, here in Wicklow just over the mtn from me. It has a pretty cool history, and is one of the more popular attractions. The entire area dates back to about 6th century.

St Kevins Church

The Priory in Cahir:

Many towns and castles were walled back when. Here is the Clonmel wall:

Looming over the western part of Kilkenny city centre is the Canice Cathedral:

Another view of Kells from the inside:

Killaloe Cathedral off of Loch Derg in ..uh.. Clare? Yeah, one side of the river Shannon here is Clare, the other Limerick, and just a few miles from there you can find yourself in Tipperary, too.

Raheen a Cluig on Bray Head, not 10 mins form me here in Bray:

Ballaghmore Castle in Laois:

Roscrea Castle, Offaly:

And a random abandoned church I came across while driving about aimlessly:
