svk, I've posted this link or one like it before. This was a guy who used to live near me. He advertised his truck for sale on Kijiji. 2 guys came to test drive it, they shot him and burned his body in an industrial incinerator. The one guy ended up being charged for 2 other murders. Gotta be careful these days.

Welded the 3 pth arm again. At least it always breaks in a new spot. These things are like a cat with 9 lives. Does anyone know someone who has a Kubota L35? I need the measurements off the 3 pth arms so I can make a new set from scratch. I made this 1st set just by guessing and they are a little off.
That's nuts.
I don't buy much from local sellers online. Got to be careful.
I looked at another set today. This guy was nice but he was a little generous on his tire grading and the ones he was selling were no better than the ones I have. So still looking.
No time to get out to the Lady Farm today however I did have some splitting and stacking of previously scrounged nice, dry, termite-free peppermint to do. I lifted up one bit and there was this little guy underneath.
He's a little bearded dragon. My wife and I used to call them bearded clam dragons for something to giggle about until the kids started repeating it. Now they're back to being bearded dragons. This one is not fully grown and apparently hasn't realised that he's supposed to want to kill me.
He let me give him a tickle under the chin. No, I wasn't about to take off my glove just in case he hadn't already had dinner. I saw his respiratory rate start to increase and sensed a fight or flight response and potential death coming so I let him be.
Anyway, I had enough primo peppermint to finish this bay, which is 2.5m x 3.5m x 2.3m stacked high which is 20 cubes. Here's the front on view.
And here's the oblique view. If the sides aren't bulging you haven't stacked enough in there
. Still haven't cut the grass either.
and here's a bonus snap of the rare and deadly Australian Wildcat in its natural habitat.
I should be able to get back out to the Lady Farm tomorrow morning and find some nice dry peppermints to turn into stove-combustible BTUs.

A funny true story: The wife & I were in the Caribbean having a relaxing lunch outside at one of the resorts. My wife, who is a bit near sighted, spotted several squirrels coming slowly across the lawn towards us. Then they got close, and she screamed because they were not squirrels, they were iguanas!
Kinda funny afterwards, but it sure scared the crap out of her at the time.

A cousin and a friend both have bearded dragons, they make cool pets.

Out, standing in my field.
Mrs. Geek and I were at a nice resort in Cancun a few years back. We were dining at the main restaurant, pretty late in the evening after drinking a few too many Mojitos under the grass umbrellas...
Anyway, mid-dinner, several feral cats from the resort got into a fight - right underneath our table. The waitstaff was mortified, but we were too busy laughing to care.
That's awesome!
Did you see the youtube video where the crow harrasses two cats until the cats start fighting? They then roll off a roof in a ball of fur then off a cement wall as they continued to fight.

I know what you are referencing but I didn't get that far. The tires weren't going to work.

I used to have a 1981 full sized blazer. 350, lift kit 35" buckshot mudders. It was awesome, kids loved it, they called it the beast. Blew a used tire on the right front at 55mph. Wheel spun in my hands and in the ditch we went. Hit a culvert and jumped in the air, came down and went sideways. Was up on two wheels for a sec. (walked the tracks later). Had 3 of my kids with me, one had a boo boo on his elbow. Other than that we got off Scott free! Long story, short lesson.... buy new tires.
Was sitting quietly at my computer, browsing the 'Xmas giving' thread, when some jerk started jackhammering right outside my house.
Went outside to investigate, and it was quieter OUTSIDE of my house than INSIDE. ( . . . Ruh-Roh! . . .)
Went down to the basement and the circulating pump for the boiler sounded like broken glass going through the garbage disposal, transmitting that sound through the pipes, to all of the radiators (2-story house). Fortunately, Grainger had one in stock, not too far away, and the old pipes (and old muscles) did not put up too much of a fight. Could have been worse on a weekend (outside temp reading 24°F), although, I would still have some gravity flow of heat.
Will do an 'autopsy' on the old one in a few days, but I found metal shavings and parts of a spring nearby. Guessing that that can't be good.
New one is so quiet that I thought I might have wired it wrong at first.

Windy and cold here. A little snow.
It's been merry Christmas to me lately. Things that I've ordered over the last several months all randomly arrived over the last couple of days.
Friday my "ugly sweatshirt" arrived. Monday my M1 Garand arrived. Today the new stock/forearm for my deer rifle as well as my new Fiskars Isocore and X15 arrived.
