The Original Old Farts Club

[yarddog]

Just chased off my dead daddy in law's old tractor, a 184 IH lowboy. Thing hasn't ran in years, just sitting around getting rusty. Made a bar room buddy a heck of a deal on it. Probably going to be some seismic activity in Birch Run where Tony's buried. He sure did love that old tractor, so he'll be spinning. Couldn't stand to see it go to waste. Thought about dropping a couple of grand into restoring it, but I really don't need it. Got all the machinery I need (and more).

use it or lose it. its the right thing to do. let it go to a new home where it can get life breathed back into it.

my first tractor was a 1946 Ford 2N. i did a semi rebuild over the last winter, and sunk more than 4 grand in a tractor that is worth 3 grand. lol like the stock market, its only a true loss when you sell it.

i bought two parts tractors in the early spring this year, a 47 and a 52 Ford 8N. i ran both, decided which one i wanted to restore, combined the good parts and replaced the rest over the course of 3 months. i named her after my grandma, because she is old, she's still got it and she smokes two packs a day.

don't mind the grill falling out, its only 68 years old..

@putembk Do you still water this way
I nute every other water. Sometimes that's once a week, sometimes more depending on how much the plant is asking for. from THC 2012

I am on a 3 day water/nute schedule. Basically giving nutes once a week. They get beneficial tea once every two weeks. I cut out all N, cal/mag and most other supplements 30 days before harvest and my final feeding is 14 days out and final flush 10 days out. Nothing but r/o water after that.

Hoping Drift and Rocky are having a helluva good day on the water this morning. I keep bouncing back and forth between the two threads and can't figure out which I am..... an Old Fart or Misfit?

Could it be I am just a Misfit Old Fart?

AHHHH -- what we have here is muggles' first koan. The impossibobble decision.

AWRIGHT, ever kewl incident report.

She got me up and out the side in time to see two lovely otters humpy-humpin' across my back lawn, heading toward the canal 200 feet away.

Otters are adordable.

Enjoy the evening kind people. I'm watching Dazed and Confused and I'm going to smoke a lot of pot. It's one of my favorite movies, great soundtrack, very cool cars and a keg party, what's not to like? I'll catch you all on the flip side.
