Getting new battery for the John Deere 5400 Tractor., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
TWO-HUNDRED DOLLAR BATTERY- Deb and I will drive to the John Deere Dealer this morning and pick up the new strongbox battery for my 5400 tractor. Two-Hundred dollars seems pricey for a battery, but everything seems pricey these days like paying $200.00 to fill the motorhome gas tank, ha,ha.
But the battery was the original battery and has lasted 10 years so I knew it had to be getting close to dying.
I was trying to see the positive and I am just glad it didn’t quit on me in the middle of a major snowstorm in the middle of the winter, ha,ha.
CLEANED BACK SHED- I made great progress cleaning the back shed. It’s surprising how we tend to save things we know we will never use again. It feels good to get done cleaning and see everything nice and neat for about 10 minutes, ha,ha.
TRACTORS PICTURE- Today’s picture shows me pulling the tractors and the motorhome out of the shed after putting the snowblower in summer storage. I have to pull out the motorhome and the two small lawn tractors to get the snowblower and the front blade back in the corner.
NASTY THUNDERSTORM LAST NIGHT – About midnight it started storming something fierce!! We thought we may have to head to the basement it was blowing and pouring and lightning really bad. But after a hour it settled down and we went back to bed. Sure makes us see the positive about the few storms we get compared to down south and those folks who get them all the time.
GOLF BALL FOX STORY- I forgot to mention that the worse part of the fox stealing the golfball yesterday as Bill’s brother was golfing was Bill’s brother said it looked like the golf ball was rolling right towards the hole for a hole in one when the pesky fox grabbed it in it’s mouth, (:>). umm !
TOY BUILDING PROGRESS THIS WEEK – Zip, Zap , None !! Enjoyed being outside for the first week this year in a T-shirt . Oh Yea !!
Next week I should get back to work on the Berliet Dumptruck for Mike from Nebraska.
SAT. EATING HEALTHY PLAN – Probably not as we will be eating in a resturaunt and we will also be excited to be looking at new John Deeres, ha,ha. Should be a fun little road trip to the Dealer a hour away .
HAVE A NICE SATURDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
