Funny how you hear different parts. Something about the “ladies” being at the house. I remember one summer day when Mom had company around lunch time. I was 5 or 6 and fell in the gutter. Covered in “gutter material” from head to toe. Worked in the barns every day, but that was a 💩 bath…...

Not a beef stew, but similar. Egg noodles, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Really good…😋

It was really good, but probably not worth a 12-hour trip……😉 Definitely transitioning to “fall” food; kind of a stewed beef and veggies over roasted sweet potatoes or egg noodles today. Weather’s been dry, sunny and “warm.” For us, that’s lows in the 20’s and highs around 60 or so. Certainly...

Penne pasta with a lot of goodies…..shrimp, peppers and zucchini sautéed and added at end, so al dente just like the pasta…. Used up the last of our Basil, plus some of the oregano and Italian parsley from our garden. Been frosty here lately. Tasty.

Hate to admit Geddy and I put the Snowblower on…chains are on already. Don’t like Winter.

@GrumpyFarmer brings up a good point. On a couple occasions I’ve shopped for a B series to replace my BX. I chose not to because I really wasn’t gaining a LOT of capability for the dollars I needed to spend. Hindsight, I should have just bought the B to begin with.

Sounds great! Never heard of brewer's yeast gravy.

I couldn’t find Rotella T6 5w-40 anywhere, including Amazon as someone mentioned. I ended up buying a 3-1 gallon case of Full Synthetic Rotella MV SAE 5w-30 from Amazon. Apparently designed for folks maintaining both gasoline and diesel engines, as it’s called MV for Multiple Vehicle. Has the...

Yeah, mowing season is longer for some. I don’t like to get behind with tractor, pellet stove, etc.

Yep, and today is the day. Snowblower won’t go on just yet. Chains will go on next week or two. Do some service, motor oil change, etc. if you’ve ever put tire chains on in the snow or really cold weather, you know why I put them on early. Much easier when it’s 50-60 degrees F. 🤔

Guess you didn’t get the point this thread is 10 years old. Neighbor’s kid is a father now looking for a neighbor’s kid to mow…..😉

No tractor in this one, but related. Geddy agrees with my assessment. When the leaves are (almost) down, the mower deck comes off the tractor. Tire chains go on, loader if needed, then snowblower. Looks like we’re about there for the seasonal transition.

Harissa shrimp tacos in the works.

Thought of this again. Neighbor farmer(s) - two different ones have had health problems. Thankfully not catastrophic, but literally no one to fill the gap. No “sick days” in that line of business…. Somebody still has to milk, bale, clean the barn, etc. The Mrs. offered my services, but I...

I have a friend with a 3.0 liter diesel Chevy truck. Other day he decided he’s going to park it unless needed. He has a couple other options until snow flies.
