oliver2-44 9,689 #6 Posted February 15, 2020 Brrr it's 36 here in Central Texas and that's cold enough for me! Should hit the mid-60's this afternoon. forecasting 70's Saturday and Sunday. @ebinmaine @1995 520H+96+97 I had a 1996 Ford truck like yours in my younger day. I I remember right, your grill looks like yours is a 65. Both of ya'll keep that minus stuff up there in Maine. Ok I'll admit it, I'm a little OK with cold dry weather, but we usually get cold wet weather and it chills me to the bone.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,350 #12 Posted February 16, 2020 I had 6 degrees yesterday morning, probably the coldest all winter, but we have had a few good snowfalls where I could get out and play. All in all though, a very open winter, one for the books. I don't ever remember a winter as open and mild as this one has been. I don't think there has even been that much frost in the ground, seems like every time I go out to plow I end up scalping more sod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the" pleasure" of starting up a new hydro turbine at Chaudiere Falls, Ottawa during the month of Feb. in the '70s. We had one heat wave that month when it warmed up to -10F. We had to drill a manhole thru the 10" thick ice and lower divers thru the hole with a crane. They used a hammer and bar to remove the stop logs that were used to dewater the turbine during installation. Sure wish I had pictures of that adventure. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #16 Posted February 16, 2020 After a few chores outside, a Winter Trail Ride and pulling the SD card from the trail cam I could not get that image of you @Ed Kennell in front of your stove yesterday out of my mind so I decided to join you today. It is so quiet sitting here that all I can hear is Bacon frying, thank you tinnitus. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,022 #20 Posted February 18, 2020 Spring is back...54F. If you look to the left of the thermometer, you can see my neighbor plowing. Here's a close up. Crazy, plowing in Feb. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just now watching and noting the position of the four horses. The two outside horses switch from walking on sod to walking on the plowed ground. The inside pair switch from walking in the furrow to walking on the sod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #24 Posted February 18, 2020 Looks like two share plough with two different size wheels. 1st photo. Big wheel on the land. Small on the turned earth. Returning. Big wheel in bottom of furrow. Small on land to use second share. Simples! I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
