Coffee just finished brewing. 53° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 73° with partly sunny skies. More neighbors leaving to head north. They must be wanting to punish themselves for enjoying the winter here in AZ. No plans for today.
Good Morning All.

Hey Buppies, I've got to replace at least one spindle bearing, started it, engaged the deck, made a few passes to make sure the tillers we're working. When I shut off the PTO, it squealed to stop. It's also creeping on one side, hope its an adjustment. Poor old thing is a Simplicity design from the 90's, bought by SEARS and screwed together by MTD, sold as a Craftsman. And it's 12-14 years old. Maybe time to go shopping.
A lot of needed rain yesterday, cool and windy with 60's today.

I started a moderate diet, basically stopped eating ice cream and most snack foods, replaced with fruit, popcorn, etc... More salads, less burgers, nothing radical. I started when I got out of the hospital with the flu on February 17. I hadn't been on the scales since until a couple of days back, I'd lost 23 lbs, I'm very happy. I'm wearing shorts I couldn't put on last fall. I'd line to lose about 25-30 more.

Hawk, hope your wife's cut is healing.
Eric, have fun with the grandson. Still need to send him over here for a bit 'o finishing school.
Don, have they moved up your mom's surgery schedule due to the pain?
Topp, keep it up. I could lose 10-15 myself.

Good Morning! 61F @ 8:15AM. Sunny. High 76F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Hope everyone's keeping an eye out for practical jokes on this April Fool's Day. Lenny, sounds like your wife already has a leg up on the rest of us.:thumbdown:
I think today will be the warmest day we've had this year, and I'll take full advantage by getting some bed liner on the repaired fiberglass cargo carrier that was damaged earlier this week. I was asked how the fiberglass repair was to be done, and responded with step-by-step instructions, but apparently all that went out the window even though I was told by the mechanic's partner's helper that the instructions were followed. Frankly I caught the man in a lie when I examined the work. That led to some very intense discussions with my mechanic, not heated in any way but real down to the bone talk about what it means to be in business, how his plans for the future are going (they're not), and his relationship with the two fellows that caused the damage to my vehicle. That was preceded by another round of tantrums from one of the employees, who needs constructive criticism very much but is not very good at taking it, and stormed off at the end of the day taking his tool chest with him. The day had started with the other employee that had been let go the previous Monday being re-hired by the mechanic's unofficial partner, a clear indication that he's more or less lost control of his own business. I feel sorry for the mechanic, who means well, is honest as the day is long, and is trying to make everybody happy in a situation made almost impossible by the emotional and somewhat unethical behavior of those around him. This heart-to-heart went on until past 11:30 last night, and I hope he was left with at least a few things he can change to start putting things back together. It will be interesting to see if any of them work, and I'll be there for the show as I intend to keep going down there to get done what I can.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

67°F and .69 inches rain since midnight, sun trying to peek thru.
Not much planned, some clean up, get in a drone flight if not too windy.
Friends coming for dinner this afternoon. Grilling some chicken.
I have internet so I guess I'm in some transitional state set up by my provider, but undefined.
Be safe
Have a great day

Roy, those look like Christmas card pictures. Glad you have a cab!
Just got in from shredding about 8-10 acres. I was going to try and shred in our bottom land below the tank, but I went through there and almost ran over a mother hen wild turkey sitting on her nest. She flushed out just as the front tire was going past her. 2 feet over and I would have ran over the whole nest and man, would I have felt bad. Anyway, I was startled. I've seen a turkey here maybe 12 years ago, but never seen them nest. I will let that area remain wild to hopefully get a small flock going. I recently saw a flock of them about 3-4 miles from here.
Took the kids fishing. They caught some crappie and bass. It was all good. We have storms coming tonight.
RNG, I don't know exactly what to tell you about the mechanic situation, but I will say this with just .02 cents. With your skills and tools, are there things about this build that you wouldn't feel comfortable tackling? I'm worried that they won't do things to your expectations, and that it will only go down hill further. You know the old saying, If you want something done right, you don't let your brother in law do it...unless he does it for free.

Grilling a couple steaks. Giving the lesson at worship tomorrow, so been working on that most of the day. Topic is 1st John.
Couple geese flew over, always like to hear them.
Chilly out at 48°, breezy. Overcast all day.
