So with many stuck at home, what are you working on? What have you been up to? Any new tractor mods and upgrades. Some of you have been quiet for a long time. Time to speak up and help these new wimper-snappers out!

Well, I gotta say, this is really good for the build off tractor. Been working on it every day since Monday.

Well mostly I've been working on the new online schooling they're giving us, but yesterday I got far enough ahead on most of it so I could go out in the woods. I built a dam in the creek and then broke budgie, go figure lol. When I get done with my band stuff today(I gotta record me playing my parts and then send it to my band director, wooo) I'm gonna go out and see if it washed out yet.

I've still had to go to work so I really haven't had extra time to do anything. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some more done on the new simplicity build.

I’ve been working on the red race truck. I ordered all the patch panels today so hopefully they come in the mail before everything gets locked down. That will definitely give me something to do for a few weeks if it gets to that point. I’ve been working there days a week (my usual schedule with school) but since school is off I’m taking my usual days off to work on my own things. Fixed the charging system on the ranger today, it still needs cab mounts, front end came apart on the mk2, panels need aligned on the red truck, red truck needs cab mount bushings, there’s no shortage of projects for me haha

What I do, I get to work from home as I can pretty much work anywhere. I do have to go into the office to change out backup tapes every other week. Normally it was every week. Pretty much done with Red at the moment, and I have been working on the ol' 9N tractor. Going to get the wiring redone this weekend for the most part. If I am really lucky, I can get her fired up this week. Going to be a pain getting a battery for a bit as they shut down walmart auto centers around here and they are pushing self checkout right now. Hate paying more $$ at a parts store for it. We'll see.

Not doing much but I’m currently trying to fix a snapped trailing arm bolt on my snowmobile, ended up breaking the screw extractor off In the hole so I had to drill it out with a carbide burr bit. Then once I replace that I gotta replace the radius arm. Sadly since it got broke I only got 15 miles on it the whole season so it was kinda sucky. But at least once I get it fixed I can get it out of my storage container so I can bring the racer in to tear down and build

I dunno, my schedule hasn't changed much. I'm in heaven on the ranch so I rarely leave anyway, lol.

This quarantine has gotten me so bored, I'm thinking about firing up some of my old hobbies. Anyone here do any gold prospecting?

I poked at it for fun in junior high because I loved the tv show gold rush. Then it got too mainstream which means it go so over dramatic it wasn’t worth watching. Haven’t watched an episode since

Yeah, it was that show for me as well as my grandpa who was a gold prospector in Alaska for a long time. I really lost interest when I lost the time for it lol.

Rip CQ. Best make use of that time well. Maybe make a thread for your truck eh?
Well i dumped the oppy guts out of my pan and brought it in and washed it. Didn't get out to the creek today but I'll try tomorrow. I doubt there will be anything to find but I'll entertain any waste of time at this point.
Something else, I've been making good use of my lathe recently. I broke the tightening end for the blade on my hacksaw, so I made a better one. Not as easy to change blades with this, but I only really do that once every year or two anyway.
