Yesterday was gorgeous here in Central Missouri. Warm, and for the most part, sunny.
Mrs. Augie and I are enjoying a visit with #2 Son, DiL, and the grandboys. Yesterday they were able to play outside, but not today. It’s snowing like crazy right now. Big, heavy, wet flakes - almost slush before they hit the ground. It’s making conditions outside very messy.
I dropped Nanner off at the tractor Doc on Monday for a new water pump, and overhaul of the charging system. We’re tossing the Lucas (prince of darkness) alternator and replacing it with a 3-wire, externally regulated GM unit. I had new battery cables made, and picked up a voltmeter to mount in the cab so I’ll have a visual indication that it’s charging, rather than just the stupid idiot light that never worked anyway. Yesterday I picked up the last of the pieces parts needed to put everything back together. It should be ready to come home in a day or three.
I finished the cargo basket yesterday. All that’s left is to get a warm, dry day and slap some paint on it.
It’s time to buy seed potatoes and get them cut/cured for planting. Space is cleared and ready for that in the kitchen garden. Now that daylight savings time has arrived it will be easier to make headway on outdoor projects during the week.
It is cold and rainy almost snain here. No sun - depressing day. Looking forward to Monday.
