Coyote is still causing mischief

A tractor is still a wonderful thing!

Yes the coyote continues to make his presence known. He must work for the fossil fuel industry! Jeremy and his brother Roy came out this morning. We discussed a few things and then they got right to work on the trench. After a few minutes, the trencher was silent. Michelle and I went out to walk the dogs and stopped by to give the guys some wassail, and found them puzzling over a broken belt on the trencher. The problem was that they could not release the hydraulic pressure to get the machine to move the digging boom into a transport position. This was making it very difficult to wheel the thing onto the trailer. I volunteered the Kubota and loader and we made short work of getting the trencher aboard the trailer. That about did it for today, work-wise. Jeremy still can't get a firm date and time from the coop, so we'll have to play it by ear next week (I'll be in Milwaukee). On a side note, the trickster wasn't just after Jeremy; I planned on a simple wax ring replacement for the master bath's toilet today, only to break the tank on removal. The project then consumed my day with a trip to town for a new toilet. Grrr.
