An overcast and foggy 56ºF for today"s low temperature. It is currently 80ºF mostly sunny and humid. It was hotter and more humid down in the CT River Valley earlier today for the food, pharmacy, booze, birdfood and garden supply run tp the "Big City." I wore my cloth face mask instead of the P100. The supermarket/pharmacy was pretty empty; mostly old geezers. Everyone was wearing face masks and maintaining good social distancing. I was able to purchase decent hand sanitizer. The limit was 2; I took 1. There was a fairly decent supply and variety of meats on the shelves. Awesome decent fresh produce. Definitely A/C weather today. Brogen not liking HHH conditions has become essentially a shedding speed bump. I am taking it easy myself this PM. Plan for the afternoon repot some tomato starts.

I have not seen nor heard (excluding my 24/7/365 Spring Peepers) any reptiles or amphibians until this morning. This is really late for around here.

I am continuing to enjoy the sharing of experiences, drone videos, and pictures.

RNG- You did a great job on the PV system and I am glad you are still in one piece. Congratulations.

+ Thoughts for Drew.

My + thoufghts, wishes, and prayers.

RNG. That nice tractor deserves extendable arms and telescopic stabilizers. Have to admit I was abit surprised when you posted a pic of the basic ones, but resisted saying anything.

Somewhere here in the TBN forum there is a discussion of how Kubota short changed the TLB tractors in the 3PH department. Part of it stems from being a Class 2 hitch, built heavier to take heavier loads. I'll need to dig that thread up and see if there are better options. Gotta say, though, that I had the telescoping arms on the old tractor, and bent the heck out of them a couple of times, and even broke one. The turnbuckles on the M62 work really well; it's the first time the box blade isn't lurching side to side like a drunken sailor. I really miss being able to telescope the 3PH mounting holes, though. Makes for a lot of jumping up and down out of the seat to nudge the tractor just a scosch. The tractor has a creep button, but unless you're in low low, even the smallest nudge is too much. And it doesn't work at all unless you're sitting in the seat.

I'm also struggling with the SSQA up front. Most of it is just not being able to see the upper tips with relation to the cleat they fit into; I have to get up out of the seat and walk forward on the deck to see anything. Part of it is I just don't have many level places, and none that are concrete, on which to store implements. Makes either end hard to mount when one side is higher than the other. There's also the problem, at least on the bucket, that the underside of the cleat is covered with weld spatter, and the upper tips don't want to seat fully. When things settle down around here, I'll dress those surfaces down and give them a nice coat of paint, then grease.

I tried calling Drew again, I get about 6-7 rings and the timer starts counting as if someone answered, not sure what that’s about.
I did email him again also. If I find out anything I’ll let everyone know.

Update: I found out that he went to an appointment today and is not hospitalized. I kinda back doored them to find that out. I was able to leave a message on his phone this time.
