We're back from NOVA SCOTIA!!

[@adventure7434]

Glad Dawns knees better. Joel you're a lucky guy. Fun with Meagan and Taylor. So nice to have Gavin taking care of ALL of the babies when you're gone. Much deserved get away. Nova Scotia is on my bucket list.

[@MsApp13]

Imagine my surprise when I opened up this video to see clips of my home town, Saint John, New Brunswick!! So glad you had a great time.

[@debireed6128]

Was there in 2022… and learned no S…not St Johnsssssss ! The day we arrived, so did 2 other cruise ships…needless to say, there was a severe shortage of taxis. But one Syrian taxi was so compassionate of me with my dad in a wheelchair. He called a neighbor who had a mini van. The neighbor showed up in his family car.. stowed the car seats… loaded us and the wheelchair for a lovely day seeing the sights. He told us how wonderful the government had been welcoming the many refugees. They had a special neighborhood of housing…bi lingual teachers at the schools. He even drove us through their area ….

[@Maritime_Homestead]

Wow! What day were you in Saint John? We saw three cruise ships there recently!

[@KirbyGulbrandsen]

Why would anyone leave?

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

Nice to see all you guys from the Veggie Boys and a Stable Life coming and visiting us in beautiful Canada. (Nova Scotia means in English - New Scotland.)

[@marybethbowers5620]

So glad your mother is doing better and Gavin’s back and you deserved a vacation. It looked like a beautiful trip and the picture of you and Megan (in her red dress and your suit) was stunning.

[@janellejordan9451]

Love the fall colors !!!

[@wildchook745]

We love you and Gavin. Thank you for the update on mom.

[@Sunjoy1]

WOW Joel and Megan look wonderful all dressed up...😌 Taylor you're adorable...

[@kathieawoyomi66]

I love nova Scotia I'm happy your mom is better .love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@nickwhite3130]

Joel, you cleaned up nice in that suit!

[@dianayavetz6286]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your vacation. Really beautiful

[@SusanMacKenzie-ow3rn]

I bet the scenery in NS & NB was just beautiful with all of the fall colours and it’s just naturally a scenic part of Canada 🇨🇦

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great job guys

[@adventure7434]

Absolutely take your time on the barn build. The weather and everyone's physical condition will dictate. It's going to be awesome when your bales are sitting in it.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

It’s nice to see the ponies again!!!

[@nickwhite3130]

I cackled at "I saw your flannel bounce"

[@Roheryn100]

What??? You were in my neck of the woods? Well, if I’d known you were coming, I would’ve baked a cake !

[@candymckinnon8554]

So glad you were able to go on vacation. Beautiful pictures. Thankful your Mom is better. What a great friend Gavin is. I know he is kin to you but to also be a friend is very special

[@bettyruth9142]

Welcome back !!

[@bg12445]

I chuckled with the bale in the wagon. 😂

[@iggy2u2002]

You clean up nice, Joel.

[@MichaelSmith-ts6ss]

I thought the same way...they both looked awesome!

[@cynnail395]

Have you ever considered putting an empty pallet, pallets, under the hay bales in the feeders. This would eliminate moisture coming in contact with the bale and elevate it as well so the horses would consume more before replenishing. This might also work in the new hay barn to reduce hay in contact with the ground.

[@adventure7434]

Great pics of you all. Excellent created video

[@Imposter-yd4xn]

Nova Scotian here , i recognized a few of your stops, all cruise ships arrive into Halifax, beautiful city. Noticed the pier, it also looked like you film the Cabot trail, Caoe Breton is beautiful this time of year. Though male moose are in heat this time of year and they get aggressive, many roam around Cape Breton area so you gotta be aware of your surroundings. The video with the scooters i couldn't say where that was filmed though I'd assume St.John NB. Great KZbin channel my friend, keep up the great work.

[@mechmany2k]

I'm betting that your tractor has a fusible link that has burned... Hopefully uou get it fixed... :)

[@BethFoster-lm7qq]

That was a beautiful vacation.🤗

[@SusanHicks-e4v]

Nova Scotia! What a great place. Beautiful and rugged and lots of water. Did you happen to get to Peggy’s Cove? Special place. Congrats on getting away. Mind and body needed a break.

[@STA_FARMS]

Joel we have had a similar issue with the New Holland we use. The first time it was a bad connection at the solenoid we took it off and cleaned it up and replaced the wire connections and that fixed it. The second time it was a safety switch at the gear shift and we made a jumper wire to bypass that. Good luck with it.

[@Led420canadian]

Eh!! Hope you a great Canadian time eh 🎉🇨🇦

[@YH-gn6uu]

You came in the Maritime at just the right time, fall is the best ,and this year we have warm weather so nice. In the summer its to hot for my taste....We are not that far from where you live ,but this week in N-B, (in the north) the leaves are almost all gone ,but still very warm. Love your videos.

[@joanharper954]

As of the day this was posted its 100°F here in Southern Arizona again... 83 is winter to us

[@rogerpultz5597]

Really enjoyed watching 👍👍

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Yay your back glad you enjoyed your break 😊 Sorry Megan ended up with a cold 😞 Looking forward to seeing your Mom and updates on knee. Gavin looking handsome as always 😍 Enjoyed the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x

[@beadwright]

Who knew Nova Scotia was on my bucket list? It is now. The fall foliage was gorgeous. Here in Houston our trees turn brown mostly and then the leaves fall off.

[@lenalyles2712]

So glad your Mom is better.

[@cassiebanks]

Nova Scotia was so pretty! I've never been on a vacation after high school where I wasn't under some family obligation and/or schedule. It would be nice to just go somewhere and do nothing but have fun. You guys look like you were having fun and that made me happy. 😊

[@xtender5]

You clean up pretty well, my friend. The girls are always beautiful, of course. Have you thought of pinning that light fixture cord to the beam?

[@myrtleadams]

In Ivanhoe Texas it is 89 degrees lots of sunshine beautiful fall day

[@rogerokelley]

Nothing runs like a John Deere 👍👍😊

[@sarahsumner-p2h]

Joel's mum -- as someone who has just had an hip replacement -- get well soonest !

[@michaelpardue2400]

Glad you had fun time some time we all need a break Im happy you mom doing good .

[@rogerweir1772]

LOL you didnt come to visit me? Im in Nova Scotia! :( (Annapolis Valley, NS here just below Bridgetown, NS)

[@NeilGastonguay]

You made a stop in Maine at Fort Williams Park. Cape Elizabeth is the wealthiest community in Maine.

[@nickwhite3130]

I thought there was a dominant donkey change. I could have swore the other one used to be the one to steal food.

[@skweekyt1]

Omg Joel`!! Were you guys in halifax port? I work at a shop very close to pier 21 .. AArrgghh!! I missed you guys!!

[@johnr3603]

PEI is amazing

[@terrieholloway9066]

[@jwangosho]

That tiny donkey is mental.

[@JAMESRS58]

Hi Joel .. Were you able to view the tides in the Bay of Funday ? .. or have a lobster dinner in Shediac ?

[@zannaB60]

Joel, You are having Texas fall temps. High today here was 85 degrees.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@normangarrand1106]

I'm going to say it's a safety switch of sorts as to why it won't turn over !!

[@tonicolletti2788]

What a wonderful life full of beautiful family and friends 💚

[@michellecook3302]

Hey Joel Sorry about your tractor issues. My husband suggested to check the solenoid? Hope you can resolve the issue soon. You're vacation is well needed. Good for you..

[@ob1wagonobe]

❤️🙏🏻

[@KG-xt4oq]

Back in 1980 when I was 9, my family spent the majority of that summer in Halifax, NS, (father's job). I had lots of fun and still have great memories of that summer; I've always wanted to go back. I've also been in Gander, NF, but just for a 4 hour layover on my way back from being deployed to Iraq in 2009. I, for one, would love to see what video footage you took of your trip there to see if I can recognize any of the places you guys went. Did you go to Peggy's Cove?

[@DragonflyArtz1]

Welcome back home from your Vacation Joel. YAY Gavin for President! In the house ...or Stable. I'm waiting to see how the drainage for the Barn ends? Where does it all go? Security breach when you knocked Gavin over! C'mon guys! Sheeesh.

[@markswife6250]

Shame the veggie boys team don’t jump up to plate and help you guys with barn. You all can pull all nighters with the help othe4 family members

[@PeterWenzel-yn7fn]

Waving a hand from texas

[@JohnnyBubbz]

Where did you go in Nova Scotia? I'm from Musquodoboit Harbour (close to Halifax)

[@79PoisonBreaker]

Oh. I just remembered going through a similar event with my former 35hp tractor about 10 years. the starter would not engage due to the clutch sensor going bad as the clutch needs to be fully depressed for the starter to engage. Have you checked the clutch sensor?

[@79PoisonBreaker]

I just bypassed it with a jumper wire and until now forgot lol

[@conniewright8080]

[@nicolegetz6095]

I'm wondering and maybe it's just me thinking of coincidences but the problem began right after you put the new lights on. Do you think it might have something to do with the new lights and the wiring with those lights maybe then short circuiting something. I'm just thinking out loud here

[@kevinfogarty-hh6qu]

What happen to question and answers?

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

Was there a 3rd cutting?

[@adventure7434]

Diego speaks English. He showed you .

[@normaneudorf3251]

What happened that caused the donkeys to be feed separately? Because before you feed them together just curious.

[@johnr3603]

Timeline would be helpful,,, you were building,kind of a barn.

[@MagsNeu]

What happened to your mom’s leg? I watch every single episode and I don’t remember seeing anything about your mom hurting her leg. I pray she’s OK.

[@bige.3474]

Since us real mechanics told you a long time ago that it wasn't the starter, are you ready to listen to real troubleshooting tips? You need to troubleshoot the start circuit. Possibilities are battery, neutral safety switch, fuse, and solenoid. I can't see if the solenoid is built into the starter which would eliminate that. Load test the battery. Standing full voltage is 12.74 Volts. Turning the key, the voltage should only drop one volt. If your voltage drops below 9.6 volts, the battery failed. There is a fuse in the start circuit. It may be a flat one in the box, or it may be a round inline fuse. Bypass the neutral safety switch or use a meter to check continuity. The easiest thing to do is bypass everything by connecting a jumper cable from the positive battery post directly to the positive lug of the starter. That eliminates pull starting and tells you if the battery is good.

[@bige.3474]

I'll add that the key switch is also a possibility. If this problem started right after pressure washing it, you most likely induced the problem with water. That's why I always tell you to not store the tractor outside. Water is a killer on electrical systems. Even if the water is gone, there could be a blown fuse or corrosion on the connections.

[@jaydegraide6205]

I still think your new lights are causing your problems. Unhook them and try it then. You never know

[@jaydegraide6205]

Hey Joel What port did you leave from?

[@barbieyoung3051]

What happened to the questions at the end of the videos

[@Legend-gi3zz]

I wonder if you separate Rocky and Buster completely if they would change there tone's after a month of being away from each other, you would think if they were separated they would start to miss each other and maybe accept each other more when reunited as there own little pack you might let one into the cows field as they normally get along well with cows and or other live stock just not predators they tend to kill them.

[@timcoleman3633]

What company did you travel with? recommend them?

[@derrickbona2994]

I can’t believe you were in my hometown. I walk Halifax boardwalk multiple times a day. Wish I would have seen you, did you try a HalifaxDonair?

[@theresefreeland3762]

It is 93 degrees in Oklahoma, where I live.

[@LR-xx5ig]

Joel if you spent all that money to go on vacation you can surely spend the money and take the tractor in to be fixed by a mechanic

[@redneckways1617]

Why wasn’t Gavin there?..I saw that his future fiancee was….hmmm
