Super fast head shake, just as the camera caught it

Ummm.. what are you doing? Does this involve food? I don’t know what is happening, but it’s very exciting!

Here's pics of the girls in action.

Been doing some side huslte work - before n afters..... that pond kicked my butt

A guy gave me this, said it had been his grandfather’s, but he didn’t know much more. He’s a funny fellow, if he doesn’t have a use for something it’s gone. He was going to toss it otherwise. Does anyone have any information about it? it is quite heavy and very nicely made.

14 degrees this morning, but 2” of rain had melted the foot of snow that we had a few days ago and now the yard is frozen hard grass and mud. He’s not impressed

The congressman doubled down on his claims this evening. So local police counted 30 coming from and going out to sea. Coast Guard openly reported 15 following a vessel. Annnnd the WH and Pentagon say "just mistaken ID of planes". I mean honestly when will this administration get you cannot lie like this to people in 2024? It take 20 sec to find multiple stories and videos. Several agencies see them and put out press releases. And you say "nothing there just planes no biggie". Imagine the arrogance you have to have to say something 180* opposite of the general public and law enforcements eye witness accounts.

My smallest one trolling for a tummy rub last night! I couldn't say no. She has me right where she wants me!! LOL

No , im not going to that Dam farm show again today .

It's time to require a transponder for drones so legally operated drone can be identified Every aircraft is required to have one. And flight plans should be required for all unmanned aircraft

18.4-30

We have had cases here in the armpit of drones hovering outside womens bedroom windows. One was being operated by a convicted sex offender While I am not a fan of government regulation sometimes we need them to set up the guard rails for proper use of technology

Nope, the International Harvester W4 Power Unit. It has the C-152 Farmall H engine on it. Complete with radiator and gas tank. A self-contained piece of equipment that makes the hydraulic pump go roundy round. A cute little unit. Says W4 in the ID tag. Found out the W4 uses a reversed fan. It's a pusher rather than a puller. PS: The owner of this operates a LIEBHERR crane at a gravel pit at Summit, SD. It is powered by a V-12 Mann diesel and when things break, it gets very, very expensive. You can drive a pickup into the bucket. They moved the crane from Brookings to Summit after putting in a new dredge to pump gravel in Brookings. We call the owner, "Gumby" and he is about to retire from the LIEBHERR. He is old enough and his arms are wearing out from the joy sticks.

Changing the water pump and doing some other maintenance on my Cadillac

Wife asked me to make a snow man decoration for the mantle. I thought it turned out pretty well. She shook her head and locked herself in the bedroom.......🤷‍♂️

Finally got this book. So I'm going to be working on it for the next few days.

Yesterday while at the family doctor they requested I fill out a paper to make sure I know what gender I was born as, what I identify as and what my pronouns are. I just wrote on it in large letters “refused”.

Who needs a hammer. I can make a hammer out of Anything!

This would all go away if who ever owned these particular drones raised their hand and said, “just us, and here is what we are doing”.

Who are you gonna believe? The most incompetent people in modern history or your own lying eyes?

My truck was governed at 69,for a day. I have never run it maxed out, but I can get away from a mess if I need to. Sometimes you have to out run the situation and sometimes you have to stop and let it sort itself out ahead of you. I just want the option.

I built this 7’ star a few years ago for the front yard. I think I missed my weather window for putting the lights on the house and garage. -40 with the wind chill, and a foot and a half of snow along the whole edge of the roof. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not advocating for it in this situation, unless there is some actual danger from these things. What I am saying is that there are ways to find out what they are. if we do ever get into a real shooting match, I really hope there are people who know that rules and regulations need to be ‘adjusted’ for the situation. Just because it’s ‘illegal’ to bring down a drone does not mean that it isn’t the right thing to do if the situation requires it. Again not advocating for that yet, just saying that would be a very easy way to get answers.

If it were me, and you really wanted to find out what these are, put out a bounty with no questions asked. You would have a dozen on the ground the first night. FAA has rules, well they can suspend the rules for public safety also. No private aircraft allowed in the skies under 10,000 feet. And if your private drone gets shot down, you have been warned.

Very bolty to be sure, especially the duct arrangement on the right side to siphon the heat away from the hair dryer & muffler area. But one of the best looking tractor lines ever built. It's been over four decades and still timeless.

Reading the drone law. I assume that only covers drone's licensed with the FAA. If some pervert flies his little camera equipped drone over my farm when one of my daughters is laying out getting a sun tan, it's going down. Shoot, shovel and shut up.

Trying to behave for the coffee stand girls to get treats.... Youd think we starve them!

Busy day today, my boy had a trip to the hair dresser this morning and he is looking fairly spify. I am putting in time until my apt for my quarterly injection in my belly at the chemo lab.

I bid once and figured an 8 hour 1 way trip in the winter just didn't sound fun. So did anyone here buy these gems i wanted?

She isn't pretty and originally for a 4020 and modified by Dad years ago, but it'll keep the cold air off and push the heat back into me for this winter whilst I search for an IH one or buy a new red FEMCO.

I like it!

That is neat. James Bondish.

Group 4 beans shatter real bad here if they are planted in March and Early April. They seem to hold up a lot better if they are planted in late April or May. I’ve never planted any 5’s. I think we’re too far north for that. Seed costs seem to be out of control and I have thought about experimenting with something else. I’m not sure what the something else is yet. We raised a lot of public varieties years ago and kept our seed. Our yields aren’t any better than when we did that in general.

Sounds pretty similar to our rules here 40 years ago. It’s not that way anymore, and I haven’t noticed that it’s made anybody’s lives any better.

We had a truck governed for 120 kms. If you put the cruise control on at 118 and hit the accelerate button when going down hill you could get up above the 130 mark and the truck wouldn't slow down going up the other side of the hill and hold the 130 speed after that. The boss couldn't figure out how I was able to do it. I originally found this trick out when they started putting the 154 km governor on passenger cars. My F-350 will do over 200 km/h.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm very nervous about using a pressure washer on a 54 year old radiator. It's removed from the tractor and laying flat on a bench outside. I sprayed dawn dish soap on it. Then I boil water on the stove and pour it down through the core (air side). It seems to be helping alot so far. I'll do some more tomorrow and see how it looks.

Iran has drone carrier (converted commercial vessel) and it did leave port a while back. However I think if a surface ship was launching these it would be all over the news. Surface ships are easy to find. But a submarine drone carrier would be difficult for civilians to find and the military would not say if it knew. Iran has submarines too. However it's unlikely they are operating this far from home. They are diesel electric, not nuclear. https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-new-drone-carrier-left-home-port-images-2024-12 https://gcaptain.com/drones-over-the-jersey-shore-congressman-claims-iran-mothership-is-lurking-off-u-s-coast/ https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/the-iranian-submarine-threat China is a much more likely source.

Next winter's Project. 1700 4wd Howe-Coleman.

oh im sure there is more to this and possibly a total farce - no one really trusts much on the interwebs anymore

I don’t know how much public safety there would be with a bunch of folks firing shots up into the sky at whatever they think might be an unknown drone. And these drones are reportedly fairly good sized. A car sized drone crashing down into a residential area or busy interstate doesn’t seem like a good idea.

This has been in the US for at least 10 yrs,.Speed limiter and de rated to 1/2 hp.Or auto shift set low. usually individual CO's drinking the koolaid .Just More noticeable around blue citys and hill areas. I Never try to pass a truck (18 w) unless its clear 1000' and NEVER follow one passing on a climb,as the AH behind dont care at 95+ mph.Have had BTO porcshe bmr etc attempt and do pass either side in berm/grass.haven't been on I 95 in 10 yrs but that meant the speed minimum for the "elite" . Prior to widespread gps they had "tattletale" boxs,that downloaded at service .Anyone exceeding parameters 2 minutes over limits got dinged as well as dinged for being late catch 22......why so many rules dont apply foreigners, drive oblivious, now.

I’m not aware of any limitations on trucks in Saskatchewan or Alberta. Come out to the oil patch, you will find out really quick the oil haulers don’t have governors!

You really think someone using it for snooping reg it? Order on Amazon, charge and go. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I understand its illegal but I also have a duty to protect my girls and wifes honor. If your peeping and i take it out then pleaseeee come and pick it up. Then not only will i have a drone shot down charge but also a assault. Which, around here, i doubt any jury will punish. Yes drones are kinda scary. Any shoestring police dept can now illegal search by flying over...100% legal. Warrants be danged. EPA has "found" issues with same technology. And now they can arm them.... private & personal rights our founder fought for are def being challenged today.

He looks like he enjoyed his appointment more than you are going to enjoy yours! Good luck!

After two long days at the Farm show Emma has had enough.

Almost Done! Have to fix a few fuel leaks, restore some headlights and paint the engine covers. Just got them back from my sheet metal guy. They were pretty rough. About 13 hours spent on one panel. They came out good. Stainless steel exhaust looks cool as well.

Hey! Can you put the phone down & fix this?? Thankful dog on Thanksgiving.... Who really knows how to brown nose.... Guess it's worth it.... He gets his own fair for Turkey Day, without raisins, onions, etc. Works good as he has ready made chow for the next week after. Time to sleep it off! Mike
