Nows the time to start thinking about moving sawdust around before it freezes.Leave some around your mills  foundation as it keeps the frost from going deep.Frank C.

on my ranch we have a lot of liquid cooled engines and now is the time we have to think about that yearly check of the antifreeze and bring in those water loaded fire extenguishers and such.
i checked 17 engines the other day and only one needed some so i just drained it. thats not bad considering that some years i have bought and used most of a 55 gallon drum of antifreeze.    pc

It's pretty surprising that I've gone this far without having to add windshield washing fluid to my lube mix.  Those days are coming soon though.

Most years Mrs Captain has been right after cleaning up all of the sawdust to cycle thru the horse stalls.  This year, she's a bit behind recovering from a couple of surgeries.  Once it gets wet, hard to get it dry again....
