I think it's funny that the brand loyalty to tractors is stronger than it is with cars and trucks. I've owned both IH Cubs (and MTD Cubs) and Deeres. I like them all. I love the old IH Ms and Super Ms but it's hard to beat the sound of a Poppin Johnny JD 60 dragging a heavy trailer.

It's also been a rainy spring in New Mexico. Uncharacteristically green. I could have used that sickle bar in my back yard last month. Normally, we're on fire at this point in the year, hoping for a good Monsoon season in July to snuff it.

That's the mower lurking on the left, after one of two dozen trips to the dumpster with the weed remnants. Hang in there, everybody. Keep the sandbags handy.

It's been lower than normal temps and frequent rain in Colorado. There was even a winter storm warning for the Northern mountains last night! A-Basin is planning weekend skiing into July. I'll take all the 60s mother nature has. Not a fan of 99 degrees, dry heat or not.

That seems to be the concern here (PNW), all the rain. It makes for a beautiful green spring but in late summer when it dries out it just turns into fire fuel. In my area we don't really have much in the way of natural disasters to worry about. No floods, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, or landslides. Wildfires are the only real concern so I try to keep my place as safe as possible. Grass stays watered or at least cut short. Grave fire breaks between me and the neighbors' unkempt pasture land. Fire is the only thing I worry about when I'm out of town.
And I'm not just being paranoid. July 6th last year. Grass fire came over the hill and ran right up to the property line.

DAYYYUUUUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Meh, it was pretty slow moving. The guy who started it was already trying to drag a fire break with his tractor when I noticed it. It was the 2nd day I'd occupied the house and luckily I was home to hose down the perimeter. Could have been way worse.

Any of you old enough to remember MTV when they played videos?

That line made me lose a few more hairs I can't spare. That's just like asking if anyone old enough to rememder when MTV was a music channel.
