Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

[Bruce]

to have them install a 3rd function valve and a grapple

I was originally going to get a grapple on my tractor until I found out the cost. $1,300 (IIRC) JUST for the 3rd function! I was going to get forks too so I just got those. Not nearly as good for grabbing piles of stuff or picking up a log but I won't do much of the first and can get the forks under the trees once felled, limbed and snaked out into the open.

Before I started to look at it, I noticed that the rocking chair that had come apart needed gluing. I happened to buy a pipe clamp kit at Lowe's yesterday, so I decided to glue the chair first before looking at the Gator.

Which reminds me of a T shirt I saw on a teen once:
"It's not that I have ADHD its
LOOK! a BUNNY!!!!


I don't think I have ADHD but I wouldn't care to count how often I've gone to do something, noticed something else that needs doing and of course it won't take long and by the time I do that a few more times, the original project is an orphan.

That seems normal for me.

Maybe it happens more to people whose "To do" list is WAY longer than they can ever accomplish. And new high priority things added daily.

I am afraid it is way above my Texas Aggie I/Q, but how do they come loose by themselves? (I do happen to have a helper. Actually, my wife provides me adult supervision!

They hold, as long as there is tension from a load. As soon as the log or trunk is dropped, there is no longer tension imparted thru the scissor action that is above the pivot point. Every once in awhile, I have to jiggle the bucket to make them come loose, but not often.

I thought that is how EVERYBODY does things! You mean to tell me there is another way of doing things? It must be really boring.

Keep your eyes on the prize........stay the course and stay with the vision.
Everything else, is just a time trap.

I may have too many irons in the fire, but at least I'm never bored. LOL
