Back on track.

After another workout video and breakfast I headed to the house with visions of repairing the tractor. That didn’t go exactly as planned. First I needed to go to the supply store for another wrench. I took the hose off and discovered that my replacement didn’t fit. So I drove down to the Kubota dealer in Hillsboro and they made me one. Installing it was pretty simple and I also added two gallons of hydraulic oil to replace what leaked out. Then I got to work. First I moved the logs I had already cut to the back of the property. Then I cut up more of the big black oak and some of the trees that it had fallen on. The forks on the tractor came in handy for hauling the branches, but a grapple sure would be nice. I mostly piled up the wood, but did set some logs aside to cut up for firewood later. I was able to uproot and completely remove a couple of stumps from trees that had been knocked over. All in all it was a lot of fun. Around 2:45 it started to rain, so I left. It turned into a torrential downpour that lasted a couple of hours. So I just relaxed for a while and didn’t really do much for the rest of the day.
