Finished making silage for the milk cows on Saturday. Decided to it was time to wake up the H. New rad cap,charged up the battery, filled the cleaned up oil bath air cleaner, put on a new, used seat assembly, cleaned up the starting system, new muffler, and add some gas. Push the button, RH-RH-RH, and off she goes! I can't beleive how much smoother the engine is sounding from when I put it away in November. Not sure if this is because there is actually clean air getting to the pistons or if it is just the new muffler. But it sure sounded great! Ran it around the yard for a few minutes, and put it back in the shed. I have had this tractor for 3 years and as it sat there idling in the shed, it lit up its single headlight! It has never done this in three years! I have not touched the lighting at all, as I have been gathering parts for replace/rebuild. Quite a sight, and I thought I would just share it with all of you. Great way to relieve a bit of stress.

Kent: Could you use a bit of this 37 degree heat on the east coast. Now I fully realize, Mouth of Keswick, some distance from coast, but there must be a few icebergs still in the North Atlantic.

Now the H is another matter, maybe that is what I need, another tractor to relieve stress. Been kind of grouchy this week. Started the London deliveries, some old girl thought I almost ran over her BMW, called the boss. He told her if there were no trucks on the streets of London, she may have to drive a long way for her food and clothing. These city folks want every thing at their finger tips, but not the trucks that bring it to them. Guess we should follow the Mennonite idea and use horse and wagon, let them complain about horse dung on the street. I can just see London now if everything that moves by truck suddenly got moved by horse and wagon. Might give them a better excuse for why the Thames smells so bad.

Hi Hugh. You need another project, or a trip to the Maritimes! If we could could just get some decent weather strung together, we would be done in three shakes of a lambs tail. The crop is heavy in this area. We have only done 65 acres so far, and I have enough silage for 40+ cows, to go from Aug. 15 to June 15/06. No major breakdowns,but did not get the 781 caseIH up and running. With two days to go to startup, decided it was not going to make it. Pulled the NH 718 out of storage,did some minor welding at the machine shop, and we have had no problems. Father in law has been complaining that he has to drive so slow on the chopper that he is falling asleep! I don't know, we have not been able to keep up to him, so he he must be turning fast at the headlands to make up time. Anyways, hope you get some relief soon, and you better schedule a run down east.Kent.

Kent: Unbelieveable those maritime hay crops. Shortest growing season in North America, short of Alaska, yet you can take 250-40 lb. square bales per acre of alfalfa in the bud stage first cutting, no sweat. Close to one mature holstein cow per 1.5 acres, most folks across the continent don't even believe it.

Now maybe that trip east is just what I need. Marg. and I were down in upstate NY last week had a run through the Allegany Mountains. Reminded us a lot of eastern Nova Scotia, except as Marg. pointed out, NO OCEAN. Oh for that ocean salt in the air, good for the human body and soul, but hard on cars.

Do you suppose someone could scare me up a feed of salt herring and blue potatoes. One needs enough black rum to eliminate the need for picking the bones out of the herring. Marg. will take lobster.

BLUE POTATOES! Well you better just come to Mouth of Keswick, because my neighbor is the blue potatoe king of Keswick! Plus he is an old iron collector as well. Fred Duplessis is his name. Farms hundreds of acres and several hundred Limousins. He does send blue potatoes up to friends in Brampton, so I know it can be done. Now lobster is a different story. The church supper next door got theirs from Alma, down on the Bay of Fundy. About $7.00- $7.50 a pound. I think they probably do mail-order. I remember loading cattle on planes at Pearson Airport,and seeing the cargo wagons going by, stacked up with live lobster. Now herring is something I am not familiar with. How about some smelt from Port Huron? I am just kidding. I have just looked in the yellow pages and see a 1-800-565-7712 #. Misty Harbour Seafood, division of Coastal Enterprises, Dipper Harbour. I will check on the taters' for you, and see what we can do. Kent.
