It’s looking good for fishing here in southern-middle Tennessee! I’ll get the boat out a little later this morning and see if the bass are willing to play along.
I had intended on building a rock border around the 3 fruit tree areas that I had planted up by the garden but the EPA Tier 4 requirements have (again) screwed me over. If your unaware of Tier 4, it’s the rule that requires diesel engine exhaust to meet very stringent requirements; it’s almost as if the emitted exhaust has to be cleaner than the air the engine was using in the first place. To get the the exhaust that clean the manufacturers use an elaborate system (you could think of it being like a catalytic converter that uses a Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to treat the air. It screwed up on the tractor a few weeks ago and now it’s screwed up our Kubota skid steer loader. Here is what it looks like.
The good news is that it hasn’t de-rated, the bad news is that it will need to be hauled to the shop for repair. Last time it was taken in it stayed for a month or more until the techies could figure it out.
Damn the luck, can’t work and I’m forced to go fishing!
