OT: Anyone Else Got Weekend Plans?

James Howell · May 15, 2009

Not too much planned for this weekend.

Go pick up the 1 ton Dodge 4x4 tonight after we get to the farm.

Go pick up "Vernon" tomorrow if repaired and ready to go.

Drop of "No. 15" for some repair work.

Hook up the JD 640 hay rake to "Uncle Earl" and pull it to the shop for servicing.

Hook up the Krone 260 baler to "Big John" and pull it to the shop for minor repair and servicing.

Hook up the JD 350 sickle mower to "Vernon" and bring it to the shop for servicing.

Mow the grazing pen with "Sparky".

Finish mowing one of the pastures with "Old John".

Take Nancy to dinner and to see the Star Trek movie.

Probably take a nap during the movie.

CWL · May 15, 2009

Oddly enough my plans for this evening also include the Star Trek movie and taking the future wife to dinner.

Dan-IA · May 15, 2009

I liked it-sorta. I think. Can't really remember the movie because I was there with the female I love but she tends to distract me with whatever shes mad about that second.

And I was not a TOS guy. I was a VOY guy. Captain Janeway.... MMMMmmmm Hmmm!

Working four 12hr night shifts in a row. We are scraping samples of metal from inside the reactor core of U8. The zirconium metal chips which are about the size of a pencil shaving. Are sent to the lab to check for hydrogen embrittlerment etc. We pack a dozen of them in 3" thick lead & steel flasks. Sitting on the flask for less than a minute would equal dose an entire set of whole body x-rays with 1980"s hospital equipment.
It"s why we use tongs and cranes to pick things up.

Go to the bank, do some shopping with the wife. Come back home, continue driving a sprinkler well in my yard with a sledge hammer.

Look for a new car to replace the one that got totaled by a guy who plowed into me when I was stopped for a garbage truck.

Waffle breakfast at an aunt and uncle's since several aunts, uncles, and cousins will be there. (with REAL maple syrup for the waffles!)Go to my next-to-youngest cousin's graduation party in the afternoon. Maybe get some corn planted if the rain stays away. (right about on time here... some guys start the last few days of April, I never start before May 10th - and I have never had to replant due to frost)

buickanddeere · May 15, 2009

You ok?

James Howell · May 15, 2009

I know those 12 hour shifts can wear on you.

Years and years ago I worked rotating shifts.

Worked at a steel mill for 7 years.

Worked at a roofing mill for 3 years.

You be careful!

Bob - MI · May 15, 2009

Thanks for asking. I made it out OK. Banged my leg up pretty good and strained my neck and back. Paramedics and my doctor gave me a good grade.

I was driving a 2004 Impala that I owned for 16 weeks. One-owner with 42,000 pristine miles on it. The body shop estimated the pickup (late model chevy 4wd) was doing at least 50mph. Hit me so hard it broke the driver's seat, snapped the visors out of the forward locks and they were pointed straight back. Frame is bent so they are writing it off.

It's just a car after all and it looks like it just wasn't my time yet.

pete black · May 15, 2009

looks like your day is full. need to mow grass at the place, however, rain, lots of it, is in the forecast. garden grasses getting taller, especially in the corn, will plow under and start again on the corn. typical of sweet corn, cool and wet equals no stand. church and family on sunday. turn 62 next month with hope (thoughts) of retiring. get on the recieving end instead of the giving end after 40+ years in the work place. i'm ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John S-B · May 15, 2009

I'm going to Camp Bullis, from Ft. Sam Houston for a week. So my next week is going to suck for sure. But I fly home next weekend for my brothers wedding and back Memorial Day, and then one more week in Texas and then it's back to Ft. Living Room for a couple of months.

hot rodder · May 15, 2009

Wife and her friend are going to the local flea market Saturday and they invited me to go along,Translation Idrive, they shoot the bull, I carry any thing they buy at the flea market out to the car. Either that or stay home and watch it rain. Sunday Go the church ,then Our volunteer fire dept. is having their annual Bar B Q and tractor show. Probably spend most of the day talking with other tractor collectors

James Howell · May 15, 2009

Good to know that you are OK.

Dave from MN · May 15, 2009

Hopefully wake to 2 healthy calves by Sunday, Fence off an area in the cow yard for the sweetcorn patch, plant the sweetcorn, seed the remaining area of yard into Oats and Brome, and then hopefully get it watered and keep the cows off it untill it can be rotated later in the summer with the pasture.For the most it will be a "honey do list" weekend. Hopefully the "honey did that" list will pay off with a little "do honey" time.

ChrisinMO · May 15, 2009

Clear Weather= W-O-R-K.

I've got lots that I haven't gotten to with all the rain and storms and power outages...so it looks like tommorrow is going to be LONG.

Christopher

James Howell · May 15, 2009

I meant to post yesterday and ask if all our MO forum folks were OK.

Hope you and yours "weathered the storm" and are OK.

omahagreg · May 15, 2009

Tomorrow, prep the house and yard for parties all afternoon Sunday. Sunday, from 1 to 3, we are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, and then from 3 to 5 we are celebrating my youngest daughters HS graduation-with honors! THEN, to top it off, beginning at 6:30, our church youth group is honoring the Seniors with a dinner and program! Sunday is going to be BUSY! Greg

James Howell · May 15, 2009

Congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary!

Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation from high school.

Hope y"all have a good time on Sunday.

Billy Shafer · May 15, 2009

Well after my heart attack Monday night. I am going to spend the weekend studying for my stress test on Monday.

Lonnie Smith · May 15, 2009

A bunch of us are taking the old tractors on a ride tomorrow and then visiting a couple nursing homes in town with them.

ChrisinMO · May 15, 2009

Personally, I am rather fed up with storms. I don't know of anyone locally who was injured, though there was a lot of damage in the last week of weather.

A neighbor of mine put up a hay barn about 4 years ago. He had gotten the doors on the south side but not the north when along came a storm out of the northwest and it just lifted it up, breaking all the posts, and dropped it right back down. He had not put insurance on the building and so had to eat the loss. Last summer he rebuilt in the same spot and filled it to overflowing with round bales. Used it all winter, had about a dozen or two bales left in it when the storm last Friday came. I'm not sure what hit it but this time it was really twisted up. I haven't seen him this week, but I hope he had insurance on it this time.

Anyway, there's lots of stuff like that around us.

Anyone want to buy a few trainloads of fresh cut firewood??

On Sunday off we go to another show that we have been going to for 6 plus years.My two son's like these events.

Brian Jasper co. Ia · May 15, 2009

We're going to buy a new lawn mower Saturday. Everything I have now is old enough to have collector value. I'm tired of not being able to mow the whole yard without having to fix something.
Looking at a new Country Clipper zero turn with 27hp Kohler and 52" deck.

Rollie NE PA · May 15, 2009

My youngest daughter graduates from college Saturday afternoon. Party Sat. night.

My oldest daughter is getting married June 13th. My wife and I are not only busy weekends, we are just about broke. No money for more toys.

But we love them.

Clodbuster · May 15, 2009

"Go pick up the 1 ton Dodge 4x4 tonight after we get to the farm."

No wonder you are a good guy!

I am going to a Mopar car show and selling parts along the way and looking at a Dodge 1 ton dually on the way home. You can never have enough old Dodges.....

chvet73 · May 15, 2009

Spend all weekend at the Solar Boat race. Myself and another teacher along with 10 students made a solar powered boat. There is competion for them Saturday and Sunday. This is our 3rd year entering. Hope this years new drive train makes our boat faster. We've been in the top 1/3 the first 2 years. Looking to move up this time.

Billy NY · May 15, 2009

Getting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, still helping my farmer friend, get that corn in, last 60 acres at another farm that stopped dairy production, well I think he's going to double back and sneak another 30 acres in on the small mountain behind me, around here it's kind of cool, whereever you look in the horizon a there are all the fields we work, well I'm a Johnny come lately as far as that goes, better late then never ! Headed over to the firehouse for breakfast tomorrow, then back to the fields just did a long one today, had to stop at a local establishment to see some friends that I've not seen in years, not enough time in a day to do it all sometimes, never enough to do all the things you want, but you do what you can.

Darned wind blew the lids of the JD 7000 6 row 30" planter, just loaded with fertilizer too, 2 outside bins, dry fertilizer, top was crusted up good, we let er dry out, then tested her out after breaking up all the chunks, she took on some rain, JD 4440 stuck 2x with the JD 637 disc, ole 3150 pulled er out, some wet spots in those fields. No plans but work, but monday, shhhhhh, sneakin off to the lake for some fishing !

Been down in Madison since yesterday hanging out with one of my brothers. Tomorrow my wife and I are heading down to six flags Great America.

On Monday we're heading to Iowa to visit one of here friends in Cedar Falls, and we're gonna go through the JD plant in Waterloo on Tuesday.

That's all the farther we have our vacation planned, but we're thinking we're gonna try being home by Friday. We bought a Tom Tom so we're just doing some exploring as we go. Having fun so far.
