Tractor Problems

Well, the tractor isn't doing so hot. I've had some trouble starting it lately. Ultimately, I think I've got an electrical problem. I didn't come to that conclusion until I removed the starter to have it tested. And unfortunately when I reinstalled it, I broke the plastic housing on the magnetic switch. So it looks like I'll be spending $480 on a new starter. Parts for this tractor are very hard to come by. I'm considering trading up in the spring for something more easily repaired. Its a shame though, I really like this tractor.

The Barn: Update

The barn project has slowed down significantly. After a bunch of car/truck repairs and many other tasks needing attention as winter sets in, the barn went on the back burner. Hopefully this spring I'll be starting it up again in full force.

Chicken Nugget (to be)!

Well, we reduced our flock down to 9 chickens. They are delicious. And yes, they've final started laying. I actually preformed a C-section on one of the slaughtered chickens to retrieve and egg! And there were like 3 or 4 other shell-less eggs in their too. It was neat.
