The past month has been a very busy one for me, and a very productive one too! Quite a bit of my time was taken up working for a neighbor, helping with the corn harvest. Last year I helped out too, driving the grain cart. This year I got upgraded to driving the (brand new) combine! Here is a picture I took of the combine early one morning:
I will be helping out with the Sunflower harvest at the same place here in the next week or two, depending on if they are dry enough to harvest yet...
We also hosted another Appleseed shoot here at our farm on October 6th and 7th! We had a record 16 shooters on the line here on Saturday, with three participants scoring at the highest level, Riflemen! It was a great weekend of fun, with Volleyball, Pool, Foosball, and music in the evenings after the shoot ended... Had alot of fun with some good friends, and met some new ones too! Here are a couple of pictures of our weekend:
Cora posted a bunch more over on her blog, and I posted a lot on the FB event page I created: http://www.facebook.com/events/411081702273364/
I have also been busy with shop projects, whenever I get a little "Spare time"... :-) Pictures of a couple of my projects:
This quad needed new valves and cam chains, due to a stretched out chain slipping over and wrecking everything...
My pickup needed something done to the transmission, as it was slipping badly... I found a used transmission locally for an excellent price, so I picked that up and put it in... Now it is working great!
I also picked up a couple more quads in the last couple of days, all in various states of usability... :-)
Both of these have transmission problems, although they can be driven, just not in third or forth gear!
So you can see I have been busy! Now it's time to go for lunch, and I wouldn't want to miss that! ;-)

Hi Andrew, I think you and I are both a couple of slow bloggers!:)
Your Appleseed looks like it was a lot of fun! I went to one in NH a while back.
Glad you got your transmition fixed. I've heard that Dodge transmitions tend to have problems because they aren't strong enough to handle the power from the engines. Have you found this to be true?
Those four-wheelers look like fun projects! Are you fixing them to use, or sell?
Great post!
Are you planning on hosting anymore Appleseed events at your farm this year? (2014)
Yes! We will likely be hosting two events here at our farm again this year, and possibly one in Jamestown and Minot... Depends on participation, and availability of instructors... :-)
WONDERFUL! Lord wiling my family and I can come to one! :)
Will you be attending the NDHSA convention this year? If so, look for the Appleseed table during the used book sale, or look me up at the Convention Recording sales booth during the convention...
