EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[mlm Mike]

Either of you have any experience working on a Dodge Dakota? I'm trying to get the rear bolts out that anchor the driver's seat to the floor, & I'm hitting a brick wall; they're not budging.

Nope. Impact wrench?

Thankfully, my muckboots are so big that I can fit a bandaged foot in them.

I hurt my ankle the other day, the muck boots are painful, especially on uneven ground. The swelling is just enough to make it a bit tight.

Guess what?!

Chicken butt.

Impact wrench did the trick. I have one that I hadn't used in 20 years or more; never crossed my mind...forgot I even had one 'til a mechanic on a Dodge Dakota forum suggested it (for a fee, naturally).

I may end up buying new seat covers, anyway. I never thought about shrinkage when I put them in the dryer after I washed them .

Thanks.

I’m sorry.
I was surprised how not loose the boots are. Though they did go on.

Oh thanks, I'll live. Now it's dry enough not to need the muck boots.

Of course, rain is expected later today.

There's a good-sized spot next to the new shed where the grass has only been mowed once this season; too wet. Every time it's dried out enough that I start thinking maybe I can take the mower in there we get another storm.

It seems like all I have been doing, when it isn't raining is cut grass. I haven't gotten everything done at once yet this year. I need to get the big pasture cut so the goats will work more on the fence line. But I will be starting from the beginning again today.

Gotta love it! Better than having the pastures being burnt up in July & August, I guess, but not much.
