    Evening shop! You all have been busy, and I have not been keeping up:anonymous:

    New job has been keeping me hopping from morning to evening, then trying to help out at home eats the rest of my time. The last 2 days my shop manager/supervisor has been out sick. Leaving myself and the owner to try our best. Nothing has burned down yet so it's going well haha. One more day to go, weekend in sight!:bananadance:

    Flip them farm hooks around so the gullet faces outward for better strength and safety. Rigging 101 always point the hook outwards of the pick.

    Glad to hear!

    I'm getting caught up now. Northern Indiana had a microburst come through. My power flickered for a second and came back. But the main part of town,the grid section west of me, was out into the next day.

    One neighbor had 1/2 his shingles blow off. Another two are missing patches.

    But one street over, the downwind side, every 1 in 4 houses had a large tree come down on it.

    That one is complicated, it's new to me so it's mentally stimulating learning all the new stuff. On the other hand.. it's new so I don't really know yet haha. I spend my days just doing my best. Will report back once I have more time in haha

    I learned something today. :thumbsup:

    I mounted them like that because it was easy.
    With a garden tractor powered by an electric floor scrubber motor :militarypress: I don't think the hooks are in any danger of failure no matter how they are mounted. :laugh:

    Too many unaware and unthinking people out there :frusty:
    Thank you for your service.

    It’s the first Friday of Spring! Despite the random, horrific storms flying around all over place, looks like it’s gonna be a productive season :thumbsup:

    Great looking Honey box :anonymous:@Jtcmedic

    Cool yard mule @RustyGreen , you definitely got to splurge on that hitch thing @koditten recommended. Just think of how efficient you’d be :turtleride:

    Nice grouping after 15 years rust, @Gen1TacoLady

    Re: poll. I got one on the summer toy. It pays homage to the factory where it was built. It’s 2, 4 letter words but NH maxes out at 7 so it’s pretty cryptic.

    Good morning and Happy Friday :hattip:
