Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Thanks, Buppies. I don't know about that, but it's much better than it was before. Some of those ruts were almost a foot deep. The machine made relatively quick work of it.

The Lady is fine with the tractor and the implements, Eric. In fact, she's the one who talked me out of getting an old 8N, and buying something new instead. She's definitely a keeper.

Nice tractor, nice wife, life is good.

Billy,

Hope that knee is doing better.

Thanks. Been a persistent throb and itch all day.

made good progress on the carryall today, got it all bolted together and the sides glued and screwed.
Tiedowns get installed tomorrow along with small toolbox.
Plus I need to tidy up the ends.
But bad progress on the tractor paint job. It now looks like a crackle glass Christmas ornament.
Would be good in a Christmas parade...
Going to try a new approach tomorrow.

Lot of leaves coming down, hooked my fairly old leaf blower which is on a pull hitch and dragged that around today,
does a great job of blowing leaves and pine needles out of ditches.
Trucks always slow down to see what I'm doing...pulling a leaf blower is apparently a novel idea to them.
That old leaf blower has a flat head engine on it that is starting to consume some oil. I put about half a quart in this morning but I hadn't
checked it in a while, gets very few hours put on it. Using 10/30 synthetic; likely would use a lot less oil if I put some conventional 30 wt it, but I've standardized
on that oil for small engines. Besides late in the season it's cold out and synthetic oil makes starting easier.

Time to start putting some equipment away.

Made some progress on the pantry today! Got the wall in that cuts it off from the steps and installed the light and the motion sensor. set to stay on for 5 min and then go off. Might have to change it to one min.

Billy, am praying that the knee is better, haven't been stung in years but I still remember.

Buppies. Don't know anything about filters, wife wants to move it to the other end of the house and get mom a land line. We will see.

Drew, Hope you can get rid of the crazing in the paint.

Have a good night Ed

Installed a new kitchen faucet, new one was easy, old one was a pita to remove...

 

[toppop52]

Removed the one garage door opener/fire bomb this afternoon and removed the screw holding the latch open so I could manually lock it. New opener is due in a couple of days.

Good evening all. 51F this morning, clear, light wind. Wind picked up quickly 15 -25 mph, clear sky and high temp of 68F. Cleaned front and back porches, worked on Christmas light that we have on the back porch, one string back on. Friend of mine saw my old employer got an article in a trade magazine for celebrating 90 years in business.

I hope whipper shows up. We would be going nuts if one of our fur kids got lost.
My septic decided to stop working yeasterday. Dug up the outlet pipe, and the junction box. Junction box ok, the drain field is ok, but the outlet was plugged up. I cleared it, but it is original to house, 1974 vintage, cast iron pipe. Looks pretty bad inside and out. I think I will cut it off shortly after the tank, and graft a new plastic pipe in there. Really sucked working in the rain today. Tomorrow, no rain, but colder. Michigan, gotta love it ? ����

Good morning all. Plenty of rain looks to have come down last night, though I must have been sleeping soundly and missed out on hearing a single drop.


Wng, that sounds a painful sting. I bet it also got you thinking about what would happen if you were deeper in the trails and unable to walk out.

Drew, there is a barn for sale a few hundred yards from me with permission to convert to a house. If you buy it I have plenty of bolts we can share, although they will all be metric.

Ron, that looks a very tranquil road to drive along, as long as the wind isn't blowing.

3000UGY, thanks, you have made my chores for today seem like a walk in the park compared to the fun you are having with your sceptic.
