No, I used the "zero turn". I literally mowed lawn. I hadn't got to it the last 2 months, and after the wind last week, my yard as well as my pond is full of corn husks. It was 50* and I burnt up most of all the gas left in the machine. I would have liked to mow back here at the farm/shop as well, but time didn't allow, and no-one can see back here anyhow. Hopefully the pond will completely thaw before it flash freezes again tomorrow night, so that the fodder can all blow to one side somewhere. .

You need to grease a centrifuge routinely? Must run quite a bit? Spinning metal chips, laundry, or Uranium? I would think to NOT use reg farm grease. Of course it depends on what grease that you are using, but "standard" or base level or whatever tube grease that you have - is likely thinner than "wheel bearing grease". I was knocking out $400 top bearings on my vibratory finisher all too often. When I would take it apart (from the bottom) the bottom bearing was flooded with oil, but it was only ever "greased". Finally I called my lube guy and said that I need a case of tubes that is the next level thicker - if that is such a thing. He looked it up, and the next level grease mentioned "vibrating applications" as part of it's description. When I opened it up, it looked exactly like a can of wheel bearing grease. So I don't buy wheel bearing grease anymore, and I have not taken out a bearing in the vibratory finisher since either. The stuff that I use these days is Shell Gladus S3 V220C 2 Premium Multipurpose Extreme Pressure Grease I gave the balance of my old grease to my farmer landlord. .

I mowed yard yesterday afternoon. .

Can you jump on there and ride all the way to Wawa? There must be a narrows in there? I haven't been on that since '98 I think. (?) But as I recall, we left the badlands dam and headed 12 klicks (miles? I know it's 12 sumpthing) upstream to the new/nice cabin. Jump up on the road and run that into Dub. I don't recall the condition of the river at that point, but it almost seems like it was "dead end-y" at that point? So I ass_u_me that - depending on water depth, that may be the end of the res? .

I just remember a slushy spot on the other side of the ... lake - where you get off. .

Nope. No river pics. Keep trying.... .

Algoma has winter all this week. .

Just so long as the hockey game isn't in town this weekend.... Back-in-the-day - Manitouwadge had 2 (TWO!) motels across the road from each other, and we got the last room available. Otherwise it was all hockey! .

... and I'm sure that has been the case since the dawn of time. .

Oh heck, my dealer had to go to some third party to find a wiring harness for my '18 Summit! They hung me by my boots and shook until all $ was on the floor before they would put it in my paws too! BUT - I got it and it's in the machine, so .... .

OK, yeah, I had seen the other verbage, but not this one. .

I missed the "LUP" thing. What's that? .

Ah! I forgot that the Hornepayne / Hearst trail goes to Mooseland first these days. I haven't been on the new trail yet. .

Doo you mean Hearst to longlac? Yeah, that's 150 miles or so. Otherwise Manitouwadge is in the middle, so no issue. I think that you can make it from Manitouwadge up to Longlac on one tank. We was able to git gas in Caramat as we were headed back east to Hearst and I don't think that we have ever been on the short stretch east of Longlac? Hard to say if Caramat is open anymore tho. ??? .

Was just talking to my steel salesman in Chi-Town a bit ago. He said they were getting snow, and he's sending it our way. .
