We came up to see what we could do for the farm. The cold start would have made it hard for me to work on the machines so we purchased fertilizer and pruned apple trees. The fertilizer weighed almost a half ton. When I got them back, I found 2 bags that had busted open so we distributed those among the apple trees.
Although the afternoon was warmer, the pruning job was a pretty big one so we worked for most of the afternoon. My arms finally gave out from hoisting the electric saw and horsing the limbs out of the trees. I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on the 284 carb tomorrow. I stopped by Preston's but didn't find him at home.
I also got the oil changed in the truck. It didn't get changed last year. We put so few miles on the old boy, we didn't have to. Now I am sure there is sufficient oil in there..
So this morning it is cloudy and cool. Maybe will wait for a warmer day to do the carbs. So we spent some of the time hauling up the limbs we had pruned. I had the chance to charge the batteries in the tractors and start and run some of them.
