Good morning!!!!

68°F and 3.12 inches rain.

Off to Kona to pick up my new Mule this morning.

Guys won H&F, just by a moderate score. Stuffed salmon was excellent, the PUDC delicious. All in all a very nice anniversary day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Thanks, Don! Really nice selection of SOS spice blends.

One of their stores is only 45 minutes south of here, but unfortunately they only offer pickup. It would be interesting to visit with a counter person that actually cooked with their spices!

Don which strains are on the flu shot?

Good question, but I did not ask since the only choice was the above 65 years old vaccine or regular dose below 65. Whenever I got the flu after a vaccination it was always the one that was not included in the jab.

Yay! one job less for Dougie to do... I bought a Ryobi battery chainsaw (small one) and my wife loves it. She spent the afternoon pruning trees. Now she wants me to show her how to use the Ryobi weed wacker. Yay!

Electricians turned up yesterday and rigged the new property pole ready for the Energex mob. They will be back next week. Running new Mains to the house, new Barn site and the bore pump shed. Lots happening.
Ordered about $800 worth of timber for jobs around the house. Hard to get exactly what I really wanted so have to make do.

Finished up all the mowing today, It was a beautiful afternoon but I was a little tired because I woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. Hard to appreciate the day when you are dragging. Monday I will have to start over mowing. There are a couple of trees down at the farm but I generally stay away from the chain saw if I am tired.
While we were in Maine I was using the Milwaukee chainsaw to cut up a downed spruce tree. I had a 5 amp hour battery in the saw and it shut down. I wondered if it got too hot. I was working the saw. When I put it on the charger it still had half its charge.

RNG I want to learn to weld but I haven't gotten around to signing up for night classes at the VoTech. but I'm not dead yet.

Happy happy Anniversary David and Sophie! My wifey and I are drooling over your cake. It looks great.

Good Morning.
It’s a chilly 45, likely going up 20 degrees or so with clear skies.

Yesterday was busy, started off in the shop, and then got a call reminding me I was supposed to be at a meeting for one of our airports. So I raced off to the meeting covered in sawdust.
After the meeting hooked up the mower, got my helper, and mowed. I’m going to dock his pay, though, I caught him sleeping on the job!

We managed to get all the mowing done anyway, then went to BJ’s with my wife, I’m the designated lifter, as she has 2 herniated and 3 bulging discs. She was going to retire next month, but looks like she ‘s on medical leave until then. After we got back, I chased the string trimmer around, and then went to my neighbor’s to do some electrical work.

This morning I’m going to the airport to try out my new type rating and fly the new plane around just for fun. (I meant to say proficiency). All the training is in a simulator, this will be the first time in the actual plane.

When I get home, I have to help get dinner ready, all the kids and SO’s are coming to celebrate me completing another orbit.

Grandson falling asleep in cab tractor while you mow....pretty awesome birthday gift. Happy Birthday!

Ron, glad your jab rehab is over. I always kind of wanted an "F" style Deere mower. What belt was it you replaced?

Roy, glad your wifey is home. and doggie is happiest....hope for the best.

BEF, hope your wife's op went good.

Alien, buy her more tools.

Off today. Mowed yard last night with the Beast. Started raining about the time we get up. Got 1.13" needed it. Did a transmission flush on the Malibu, took 9.75 quarts. 90,000 miles. Sprayed ant beds. Bigger tractor's front tire was almost totally flat. 11.2 -24 sized R1 looks like a decent replacement can be had for $277/ea

A very popular classmate of mine got killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday morning near Cassville Missouri. Very tough on everyone to lose someone so suddenly.

Don, the LEO's might sniff that package of spice if they pull you over....LOL.

Still teaching daughter to drive. Need bumper sticker: Student Driver..............Nervous Dad

Drew is right, JIT doesn't work when logistics break down. Just like we need stable, rotating dynamos for power generation.

Prayers for all those in need and our country.

The race bike is finally headed north!

Tonight is the first time it has felt real

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Paul, happy birthday. Good helper.
Rip, good to hear from you. Sorry about accident.
Kyle, sorry about friend.

Made it to our destination safely. While no fun sitting in backup for over an hour, better than being in the accident. I heard 2 medivac copters came. By time we got moving and to the site everything was cleaned up and gone.

Just over 4 hours round trip and Mule is home. Neighbor’s trailer was perfect, Ridgeline towed it well.
Neighbor had other commitments so unable to ride along . He did have me pick him up on return to help unload. Very helpful

Dealer loaded it up, tied it down

Got the windshield installed and a test drive
