When it's time to replace the tires on the Wr, I'm thinking of going to something a bit more off road. Not full knobbies, but maybe more like a 50/50 tire.Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247474336436209096.post-65751546781649062682013-03-29T22:40:24.490-05:002013-03-29T22:40:24.490-05:00This winter seemed longer than any I can remember....This winter seemed longer than any I can remember.

You'd think you were in the tropics when they start squawking. They always reminded me of a pterodactyl.

We made it in this evening; every day a gamble and I'm thankful for freezing temps in the morning.<br /><br />Somewhere here I managed to shoot a bit of video of two woodpeckers doing a 'love dance'.Coop a.k.a.

Forecast is for sun all weekend with temps up to 20°c, and tomorrow is a Stat Holiday (Good Friday). Yes, this is a long 3 day weekend for us. Oh, I forgot, you're retired.<br /><br />No woodpeckers here in the city.

I've no snow left on it but the mud is deep, really deep ... I think the gravel fairy must eat the stone each year.<br />Hope Friday sees you on two wheels (my little Star is still tucked in her winter hibernation spot.)VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247474336436209096.post-91218056034201043282013-03-28T19:22:39.137-05:002013-03-28T19:22:39.137-05:00I can't comment on the tractor business, but I...I can't comment on the tractor business, but I will say those pileated woodpeckers are my absolute favorite woodpecker! <br /><br />I had several in the woodsy area where I lived in Sturgeon Bay and you could always tell when they flew in- the sky would go dark! They are so huge, so fast and such a fantastic design! And you have not heard a woodpecker pecking in the woods until you hear one of these!<br /><br />If you are unfortunate enough to have one hammer on your house, well...that's why some people come running out of their houses waving their arms yelling "Cut that out!" into the sky.Martha https://www.blogger.com/profile/02785787084073523841noreply@blogger.com
