It's raining again, so I have a few minutes to post. About ten years ago the power company came thru and done the trimming. I talked to the field supervisor and told him not to cut down an apple tree I was trying to tame. He said no problem if it was under 15 foot they'd leave it alone (it was). They lied. Three years I was carefully pruning that tree and it was about to bare a good crop that year, and those IDIOTS mow her flat. I made the mistake of going into town for a couple hours and when I got back the deed had been done. Pitch a .. to the crew foreman who claimed the other guy hadn't told him. I called a couple lawyers but nobody wanted anything to do with it. Eminent domain blah blah blah.
So this summer they come by again this time everything to the ground fifteen feet either side of line. Well we had I pole that sat right off the corner of the house and after the last time they trimmed, it became a shooting lane for road hunters. I would fine beer cans and potato chip bags etc. from people sitting on the road watching down that lane. Well some of you may recall that I live off grid, as in the electrical grid (have to specify that these days as some now used it to denote off the world wide web) so since it was never energized I told them rather than cut a new shooting lane straight back towards my house for road hunters, just take the darn thing out. They did and I couldn't be happier! To be honest that first crew was a pretty shabby looking outfit, while the crew this year was truly impressive. Have a row of pine trees right about at the fifteen feet, they missed every one of them. They had these little bobcat looking tracked vehicles with a big drum on the front with cutters and it just chewed everything to bits. The way they were riding around on those things it almost looked like more fun than work. So that's my power company and trimming experiences.
Starting to let up outside (still cloudy as heck) so I'll sign off and check up on all you good folks tomorrow.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
