Wow, what a week. Monday started off with text messages from my dozer guy saying he was getting started and the electric company was already rolling along.
The majority of the pad work was done on day 1 and it was finished up on day 2. It still needs to be finessed. I have a concrete guy lined up to come take a look and bid on the concrete pad for the shop.
The electric run was completed on Thursday. Extra conduit was run for fiber internet as well.
The tractor repair was quick. When I dropped it off for a warranty repair I was told 2-3 weeks. They got it done one day shy of a week and I picked it up on the one week mark. I’m very pleased with the folks at Oktibbeha County Co-Op for getting this done quickly. The problem ended up being a blown cylinder inside the power steering, causing too much pressure on a fitting that wasn’t designed for it.



velvet ant or “cow killer” due to their VERY painful sting.
It is actually a wingless female wasp, not an ant. 3 of 4 on the sting pain scale.
That was Great Jay. Thanks for the Update. She was so cute up on the tractor. Great way to build confidence in her. Awesome job Daddy.
Hi Jay, did not know you are in Oktibbeha County. I’m down the road (Hwy 35) in Scott County. Have found your story interesting. Look forward to next episode.
As always Jay, great so much information. We just had fiber added to our house, it’s great. I’m ready for the next episode. We’re here in the high desert, we have some strange bugs, that one looks scary.
