Fuel in the coolant on a 7.3 Powerstroke is injector cups. What is it on a Kubota? Did a quick search and saw something about oil in coolant but not fuel.
Fuel cap leaks, it lets rain in. I usually have a piece of saran wrap over the cap but, apparently I waiting too long to replace it.
I forgot to add a sarcasm thingy to my original post. Water in fuel tank, not fuel in water tank.
F*** work.
Ride motorcycles.

Storage in the pole barn. Can't believe I don't have enough space in a 30x56 pole barn

The more space you have the more you need... Everything form my 18' x 24' garage makes my 30' x 40' seem very cramped.

Another hive inspection today. I added another 10 frame box on top so they can expand.
My son was helping me a little.
I'm scraping off some extra comb to collect the wax

The capped cells are honey. Rest is nectar and some pollen.
Close up of some bees. Hard to see in photo but the "wet" cells that is nectar.

Very interesting. I wouldn't mind learning and starting some hives on my parents' farm.

Actually the uncapped cells is honey too. Only they cap it when it's full, those just are still in progress.
Nectar is what bees take from the flowers, honey is what they get out of them in the hive. AFAIK they don't have the ability to transport and release nectar itself without turning it into a honey.
I'm no pro with bees, but I've been around as my parents and grandparents have been beekeepers. Only part I've participated usually - extracting the honey from the cells. We had mechanical device that spins the frames in it (cranking by hand) and gets the honey out on centrifugal force.

Semantics. The bee people I've learned from still call it nectar (even though yes, it has been changed), till the water content is reduced down to roughly 17% and its full and capped.
The extraction process is one thing I have no experience/training with. But my friend has an extractor, so we'll see how it goes. Its been interesting.
If this goes well, in a few years I'll send you some homemade mead.
