Not what I would ask for calving weather. Going to get cold tonight and chance of snow tomorrow.

I’m running a boom mower. Also expensive. I need a new one quoted 30000

I need a boom mower to do drainage ditch banks but my checkbook says...................hell no!!!

Do you have guys around that mow right of ways? Around here there’s a few guys that’ll pick those type of jobs up I used to get 100$ an hour. I’m sure it’ll be more than that now but I could make good time in an hour. Might be an option. No way I’d own a boom mower without having a serious amount of work to use one.

They are getting curious now.

... but I could make good time in an hour. ...

Lucky You!
For me an hour is often less than 60 minutes and I end up working two.

Age doing its thing I guess.

I would tell people the price. Then once they saw how much was done in an hour I really should’ve charged more. For example I hit some concrete one day that was under some bushes I couldn’t see. Broke a blade. Blades for that mower cost 300$ each. So for myself considering my mower isn’t in great shape these days I backed out of the custom work for now

This is a great idea for a birthday cake.

Was my 59th yesterday. Had a muffin and wished I had more Saturday birthday's when I was a 20-something.

I wish you and all others many happy birthdays down the road. I remember when my oldest son asked me "How is it going Dad...how does it feel to be 50"..............I laughed and said "Ask me tomorrow cause I am still 49 today"

When he was a teen he used to call me "baldy".....
I chuckle now cause I have more hair than he does

Now I want to be clear the pic I posted was one that showed up online and I "borrowed it"

Morning slackers! Still have a little rain moving through but we finally have a few days of spring like temps instead of it being in the 80s! I’ve got a doctors appointment mid-day so it screws the entire day up for the most part. We got to spread some fertilizer and spray as soon as we get a good day. Have a good one folks.

Tire guy sold us a used Michelin to replace one kinda bad looking Firestone on sprayer. Loaned me his sprayer jacking device. Sketchy but it held and I got the tire off and put back on
