Good Morning! <=2017

So this am 2 of my BSW cull boys were soooo well behaved as I'm putting them in the cage for our neighbour! Seems weird I'd rather process locally or here but there seems to be literally no stress with these birds. No flapping or panic like the roosters.

Oh and for Kathy. I hope you're behaving because I found out there really IS a Santa (OK Bert I know you are one of his helpers too). He came to the hospital when I was there for treatment yesterday for the little guys in paediatric oncology. (you really can't complain when you see these little tykes so brave). So my faith is restored and I bet the Easter Bunny isn't dead either!

Minor complaints: I ride the bucket on a fire truck and now its a night parade...hard to see hydro lines! Plus I can't see while wearing the suit so I don't want to trip and fall while climbing aboard.

Poor kids would be traumatized...I saw Santa get fried!

Then the big tractor wouldn't start (60hp International) to clear the driveway. Suspect starter/solenoid so I fired up the Kubota while I took the starter off the big red. My dad drove off with the starter, I return to the Kubota spewing green fluid! So I shut it down, check the rad...its full...pull the side hoods off..must be the thermostat didn't open and blew a hose or seal of some kind. Of course its parked in a bad spot so if I wanted to call someone to tow it they couldn't get at it. It'll have to wait for a warmer day..start with the thermostat...then see what else leaks.

Got the big red back together but sun is going down ($700 later) so I'll have extra snow for tomorrow morn.
I see where my dad parks his Subaru and oil drops on snow. We'll have to watch it closely.

Go back to the barn and one chicken has a frozen foot so she goes to freezer camp tomorrow morn.

Yeeha...

So yesterday I fired up the Kubota to find the problem. Its NOT coolant that spilled but hydraulic fluid so I put in 6 litres of Kubota TDH fluid and 3 litres of other TDH fluid (and I learned that the Kubota fluid is much thinner and flows better at low temps) at $4.50 per litre and drove the tractor to an accessable (or towable) location. So the leak is a hose to the power steering: now to see if I can fix it or need to send it off.

Old proverb: a farmer wins the lottery and his neighbour asks what he'll do with the money. "Well I'll keep farming 'till I'm broke again."
