....but then, on another level is anything ever really "done"?
I think yesterday is going to have to be enough productivity for a couple days. I am beat, at least my finger and elbows aren't too bad. I haven't done much of anything yet, and it doesn't look like things are going to get much better...
I have to do some errands, then I wanted to try and pick up the roller from the tower site, Dad asked me to deliver it a while back and I told him I would get to it at some point. If I can get that done, then I have to get the grader over to him and he will be happy.

Hey where did that trailer come from?

I think he is trying to slip one in on us.
I have been measuring things to see what will fit on, in, or around all my shelving, I think I have it mostly figured out. I hope to have everything cleaned up next week, then I can start messing with the Matsuura in the evenings. I am also going to move a bunch of **** around outside, last year I was in a mad scramble to get things done (what’s new, right?), I can see a much better distribution of things, it will make getting at the more important stuff much easier.
I am about to head to the tower site and collect the roller, then deliver it to Dad’s place. He was talking about getting the grader himself, so I need to move that too, trying to keep him away from driving his tractor trailer.

Seems like 2 positive things you've done today.... get the roller delivered to your dad, and getting the grader loaded and ready for delivery to your dad tomorrow. Keeping him happy should keep him off your back..... is the office done yet? 
And "done" meaning good enough for done in Dad's eyes, not yours!
I'm curious on the CNC machining center, lathe and manual vertical mill.... how much machining work are you currently doing, or planning to do? Is this another interest/side hobby or plans for making parts that support a business interest?
Regardless, its great to see pictures of heavy equipment on trailers and being moved around. That is an interesting road grader unit, what was it originally used for? Small county road maintenance?

The mitsu has at least two cracks in the outer boom, I found one where the water was leaking out, so there must be at least one more where it is leaking in. Going to have to investigate that for sure, if it freezes things could be bad.
I loaded up the two army trailers, they are going to the SG for long term storage.

Must be out of practice with this work ****, it is harder than I remembered.
Icing my finger, then have to load up some supplies for the SG. Hope to be there before it gets too late, still have things to do at the SG as well.
Thursday is going to be a long day, with a lot of driving, hopefully it will be worth the effort.

First trip:
The trailer is galvanized, has a torsion axle, and is rated for 2200 pounds. The transfer tank is 100 gallon, has some diesel in it and I paid $650. I am perfectly happy with that. So far bearings are fine, will stop and check them again on the highway, but I just did 6 miles at 50 MPH and they were hardly even warm to the touch.

Are you going to swap it over to a 1.3 diesel and just fill up from the trailer??

good eye.
I just got home, the last round was only 420 miles. I tried to fill it up at the gas and grass shop (thought the 420 miles was funny), I was almost filled up and then the pump froze, rebooted and then went offline. I took a picture of the gallons and amount that covers me if they charge me too much and tomorrow I can finish filling up and see what I got for mileage.
