Another Project

 Kyle was mulching a couple acre parcel

and came upon a discovery.

Under all the palm and brush there was

a little, OLD TRACTOR!

*with some implements...

It was old.

It was rough.

Only one of the tires was flat though.

So there's that...

The people asked him to haul it away.

So he did.

To our back patio.

Where all projects seem to end up.

He's got it torn apart, waiting for the new axle

(the old one broke while he was loading

it onto the trailer - looked like it had broken

before and somebody sort of welded it together...)

and a new starter.

The idea is to have a project for them to work

on together when they get to Kansas.

But first they have to do some elementary stuff

to make sure the thing will even start.

No point hauling it across the country

if its basically a useless rust bucket.

(But it DOES turn over... so there's hope.)

And it's a beautiful, clear, chilly day.

Perfect for a fun project outside.

Meanwhile, while I was helping out at

a funeral (the new RS president is sick so I

filled in for her) Rod finished getting all

the tile up in the zoom room.

It's coming along.

Next, some leveling concrete.

And carpet.

I just noticed, 

it's about the same color as the concrete.
