Hi, I'm back from computer hiatus

Post: # 83061Post yugogypsy »

Hello Everyone,

My computer's motherboard died last week, so I've just had the machine in for a very costly overhaul. :(

The good news is I AM getting the 1958 Farmall Cub tractor I've been drooling over :lol: , but I'm getting it from the estate of my old friend who had it as he passed away on the 16th of January :cry:

So today I was over at his old farm looking up the various implements and generally helping out. Rick went too, he cleaned the gutters on the house and helped move things around.

It will be months before its all sorted and I get the tractor home, but I'll be getting it just in time for haying season and it does have a sickle bar mower, so I'm hoping to find a few small fields I can cut for part of the crop.

I hope you are all well and looking forward to the garden season as I am.

Take Care
HUGS

Hey there Yugo - good to see you back! :cheers:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thanks, Nev, Milims, MMM & Shirlz,

I nearly went cuckoo without my computer.

I think I over-worked it during the holidays when I decided to work on my novel.

And of course, I've had it home for 1 whole day and the sound is gone again.

Okay for the system beeps etc, not so great because I wanted to play some of my CD's

My last tenant didn't work out, and he's taking his sweet time about moving out.

Oh well, his 30 day notice is up on the 19th and after that I plan to box up everything and take it to his Mother.

I am sure that I'll soon be needing the trailer for any help exchangers I get, they started about this time last year.

All the critters are doing well, I'm doing better, I've actually gained some weight, so I'll be able to "play tractor" when the time comes.

Right now the poor thing is buried under a bunch of household furnishings and I can't get at it.

I need to get the left rear outer rim and tyre off, get the rim and inner tube replaced and then it will be drive-able.

I wish someone would please explain to me how to upload pictures here, I have a bunch from last years garden to show you.

Please take care All

HUGS
Lois
