Swing in and cut a donut in his yard and he will wave at you !Daniel, we shot down 65 yesterday. About 12.30 we passed west of you. I looked over and waved.
Should be headed north tomorrow. Look for me to wave again.
And more junk.

I bet he would wave at you with one finger---LOL!
I am just not equipped to even do a decent job of planting some grass. Decided to scarify the water line area one more time. In the 7 months since that water line has been dug in that dirt is packed tight even with all the rain. The rain is probably making it pack tighter actually. The grass seed says it should be loose at least 4". I'm probably going to have to drag one of the old walk behind tillers out from the junk pile. One had a blown up 8hp B/S and the other had a 3.5 Tec on it. I have the Tec engine but the guy that scrapped it says it wouldn't run anymore. He was going to repower it but bought a new one instead. Have a OLD 7 hp Honda I had running but don't know if it could even be adapted to the one with the blown B/S.
Then I will probably have to get a locate done. I know the cable for our internet goes through the front yard somewhere, and I didn't pay attention to where it was when the water line got dug in. I cut a phone line in the back yard when I tilled up the go kart track one time. Was able to repair that myself. The phone company abandoned that line a year or so later anyway.
Jeez I bit off more than I can chew I guess. Drug the scarifier over it one more time today. Still hitting very hard dirt.

Need a tiller for the JD 110 you have Doug (hint hint). Just get on, start the tiller, and drive.
4" deep? I bet the rest of your yard does not have 4" deep loose soil and look at the nice green grass you have there. I would scatter the seed about 4 times thicker than they recommend, pull the garden rake up side down over to to level it and mulch it good with grass clippings. Keep it watered. Mulching and watering is the important part of a new seeding.
I have a tiller for the JD110 Jake, But it is missing the mule drive. I'm not paying 2-$400 for one! I seen one that was JUNK and the seller wanted 200 bucks! With that said I have been thinking that a gas engine could be mounted on the JD tiller and used on that tractor or possibly adapted to the 3 point on the MF1450.
The seed bag said to till 4-6" deep Rog!
I decided to heck with it the seed was going in today, trying to follow what Rog said. Of course we got another 3/4" of rain last night and this morning. Had to go to lunch with some relatives that are in town, stopped at Sam's club and when I got home, decided to go for it anyway. Got done at 6:30 pm. Well not really done but it started raining again.
I couldn't upside down rake because of mud. Just started spreading seed. One bag was supposed to be able to do it with some left over, but Loree brought me 2 more bags. Hope I overseeded enough. Still have half a bag. Spreading the straw was hard on a bad back but had just enough with 2 bales.
Had intentions of wheel packing but light rain started again. I don't have a roller. Figured the straw and mud would just stick to the tires.
As you can see the existing yard is real green but a lot of it isn't even grass!
