I started work on my 1947 Ford 2N tractor the other day. It’s time for an engine rebuild. I enjoy the focus and concentration it takes to disassemble, inspect, repair and reassemble. It’s a slow process but a great spare time activity. Not that I have a lot of spare time, but it’s a task that needs to be accomplished and checked off the list of to do’s. #grownostr

A little clip of the light show.

The front just hit us and our old house creaked. Hope the hail stays away.

When the boy shows up at 10:45 pm and says “I hit something in the road and my radiator is leaking and I gotta be back in Missouri on Sunday.” Well, let’s get to wrenching! 5 hours of sleep, a trip to Bumper to Bumper and in less than 12 hours it’s roadworthy again. Fun times!! #grownostr

Second snake is this week. This one was at the back door. #holyshitbatman

Picked up two miniature Hereford cows that are supposed to be bred. We’ve been wanting to get some beef to graze the pasture and figure a smaller breed for our small acreage would be ideal. They are enjoying the fresh grass and plentiful sunshine. #grownostr #beef #meat
