Friday end of the week wrap up on a Thursday.

I couldn’t believe the goof and his team were elected the first time. Once they were re-elected all hope was lost. I am at the point of ‘let it all burn down’. That’s what it will take to wake some people up. The pain will spread to them in time and they will realize it.

Consulting with native bands means something very different in Quebec if you catch my meaning

Consulting with natives means the same thing everywhere. Extortion.

Consulting with government and regulatory agencies in Quebec however means something completely different

Political break time ............


Daughter out helping me last week pull plastic off the silage bales and I’m so proud of how fast she’s growing up.


Dropped the motor and torque that we rebuilt back in the kitty cat yesterday and put the rad and hard nose back on today.


The loader doubles as an overhead hoist occasionally. Hope to get it purring soon.

Plus 8 today and sunny with birds chirping .......... just beautiful here.

Let the regularly scheduled banter continue 😉

How many hours did you get on the engine before the rebuild.

Do you build your own corral panels?

[Taiga]

How many hours do you get out of the Hippo tires on the loader?

Hey buddy, if I may - just a grandfatherly word here.

I can so clearly remember when my daughter was where yours is now. She was my other set of hands in the barn and field.

Now she's grown up and serving at a mission hospital in the African bush.

And I now have grandsons almost the age of your daughter. They are just the best!

So that word I would offer is this: make the most of every day that they are small and by your elbow because it's all past far quicker than I ever dreamed possible. Something tells me that you already do that.

(Imagine that - a bit of humanity here to derail a perfectly good political tirade...LOL!)

A quick article to read in The Moscow Times: "Russia's New Arctic Project Will Be Biggest in Global Oil." Hmmmm does Russia have a carbon tax? Fml what a silly question!

According to global investors Russia has a “social licence”.

Nice work Mr. Dressup, Butts, Morneau and crew.

Do you build your own corral panels?

Not sure how many hours is on it (meter says like 12,000 or so) but the engine and torque was all original. Started putting exhaust into the coolant (bad head gasket) but it was doggy so we were going to do an inframe but the crank bearings were horrible with chunks missing out of them so we pulled the motor. The crank and camshaft only needed polishing and head rebuilding so we lucked out there. Only bought this machine two years and 500 hours ago and did undercarriage last year but the price was a bargain so we’re still money ahead in my eyes.

Used to build our own panels and feed boxes but don’t have enough time to do so anymore. Now we get them from some mennonites by vegreville for a pretty fair price. I love the free standing ones and equate them to hopper bins to grain farmers.

How many hours do you get out of the Hippo tires on the loader?

Good eye😎

Not sure exactly but they probably got about 3,000 hours or so of mostly mud/snow use and still have lots of lug left. Got some weather checking and a few cuts in the face but no leaks yet. They each have most of a pail of tire sealant in them though. Used the regular loader tires before and can’t imagine going back to them. I’d prefer some 28L 26 forestry tires for flotation but the cost of rims and tires gets crazy.

That cat is worth it’s weight in gold. Little repairs and off you go. Undercarriage motor and trans and final drives. But nothing pushes like a cat.
