Prague Ratter, for sure. Very nice specimen. Must be a honey of the family, as I see.

Haha, yes he is. He kills and eats every thing he can. I had to most trouble not do that. Most of the times it is ok now. And not so fast as he used to be, just like his boss 
Grandpa’s friend for sure.

It must be Spring, the Canadian geese are heading north (although in the picture they are heading west). The gulls are back, and I hear Robins too. We may not need the ice breaker this year either.

Amen Brother Al, I just believe what The Great Yehovah God has gone through His Word Yesuha (Jesus) the Son it is for everyone. The “who so evers” this is me “that confess He is Yehovah (LORD)”.

Yes, he is and he doesnt have a problem with chickens too. After a bad joke on april first we simply had to buy a dog. I wanted a Doberman but with small kids that is a bad idea. The Chief heart about this type and now everyone is happy, a real scale model but he thinks he is a big one.

That was one of most beloved book of my youth. I read it so many times that I could recite long parts of it. Some senteces are now common sayings in Czech language, e.g. Thats a feasting when people are lending to us. Most of Czech govts since 2000 made this their gov programm.

Little update on the wood-wagon, finally some spring-temperatures around here, 50°F short-sleeved shirt weather. Did some welding.
The “coupler” in place, ball hitch mounted near middle of tractor, for ease of steering, combined with a long gooseneck.
Also welded in a vertical square tube for a “fence” to stop logs from slipping forward, it also has the purpose as a mounting point for a future cable-crane.
Stakes in place, tiltable for easy loading/unloading.
Is there anybody more than me that hates when this happens? A cut-of disc with lots of “life” left, and there comes me, smooth as a steam-roller, and steps on it…
Well, last fix today, splashed some metal-primer
On it. Now it’s good for harvesting wood for the truck.

I’ve been using this brand for a couple years now. They are working well for me. Last order was 4 of the 50 packs so I have plenty of disks. Now I need to find more steel to cut up.

I have one of these. Very handy but be careful with it. It can jump if you’re cutting pipe.

Hey Cody, how long do those wheels really last? Even if it is only 10x, I wouldn’t have to deal with the diameter getting smaller and trying to get every last mm out of regular abrasive disc. I doubt I could find the diamond disc here though.
