Don't underestimate that vinegar Wyan it'll eat up metal if you leave it in the bath too long. A couple of weeks ago I walked over to put something in my bucket to clean it up and lo-and behold I'd forgotten about a set of old hinges I'd laid in there. What's left of them will go for weight.

Dave it hasn't been dry enough in these parts to think about getting the tractor out unless you want to compact the soil to the point of pavement conditions. Just about the time it starts drying up it rains again......like it's going to later today.
I did finally get that back hoe from across the field into the shop though, this winter I'll need to tear it down and replace too many seals. Bummer.
With rain coming in again it doesn't look like I'll be able to turn over that acre or so that I've been leaving fallow. And if it doesn't dry out this season it won't happen at all this year because that piece doesn't ever really dry out except about mid August in any year and the first freeze just ain't that far away.

Hey rs ! Yeah ... thanks ... great idea ! I think I will give it a try for general de-rusting up in the shop ... I certainly don't want to bring this muriatic acid inside - with the fumes and all - once the weather starts getting bad ... I think I'd read or heard that there is a stronger version ... "cleaning vinegar" ... or something like that ... that can be used for de-rusting ... Sounds like it would be ideal, where you could toss something in it and not have to worry about it being ate up if you forgot about it for a while. And speaking of forgetting about stuff ... when I opened up the 5 gallon bucket of phosphoric acid a while back to de-rust some stuff for a neighbor, I fished around down in there and found a u-shaped piece of metal I had stuck in there ... about 10 years ago ... :D It's one (of two) seat mounts for our old Cub Cadet 782 that I had started to restore ... I'll have to dig out the other one and see how they compare ... I was surprised the one in the acid bucket was still even there.

There are 3 strengths of vinegar. A 5%, a 10% and a 20%. The 5% is what you cook with. The 20% is called agriculture grade. It's suppose to work well as a weed killer.

It's 73 here headed to 85. Have a full day of weedeating today. What fun. Maybe that rain will making in early and leave so it will cool off.

Wow, been away for a spell. Lots going on.
Buppies hope your feeling better.
Drew, heat exhaustion is a killer. When you stop sweating, you need to cool off. Hope you get some cool respite soon. Hate HOA's but understand their basic premise.
Dave, God has his plan for you. Divorces with children often have no winners. Do your best to lighten your load.

Good afternoon all. 63F this morning and intermittent rain. 4.5 in in rain gauge while I was gone, 1.1 more @7 am this morning. Forecast high is 74F and clearing. Got the ztr work done yesterday but have the push mow and weed whack left to do. Not likely to get any outside work done today.
