Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 4:15AM. Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 73F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
No rain in the 10-day, and we'll be up in the low 90s for the weekend.
Drew, my friend down south has a snowball bush that has grown to be about 6' high and wide. And it's got fist sized blooms all over it now, must be hundreds of them. Don't know if yours will get that big, but keep that in mind when you decide where to plant them.
And FWIW, the side-by-side switch seems to have been cured with a dose of DeOxIt, just as it has fixed so many similar problems before. And the Kubota dealer called last week to say the new switch is ready to be picked up. You can bet it'll be a lot more dear than fifteen bux.
The dozer man seems to have taken too much dirt out of the bottom of the driveway hill, increasing instead of decreasing the slope. And up top, they've hit the mother of all boulders, so we might have to settle for what we've got. It's better than it was, but still steeper than I'd like at 15%. Somehow the Sierra Blaster option seems to have fallen off the table.
Tuesday's mail contained a deficiency notice on a class action lawsuit I'm participating in, and I was surprised I was able to dig through good old fashioned paper records and come up with the documentation needed to cure the problem. Never throw anything away...
The boots delivered Tuesday turn out to be too small, and Amazon was only going to offer a refund instead of an exchange. Meanwhile, the price has gone up almost a hundred dollars! I managed to get through to a supervisor, who said they'd issue a credit for the cost difference once the too small boots are returned, but I had to pay the higher price on bigger boots first. Hope she doesn't forget. They did generate a free return shipping label, though.
Table and label rime, but how come they're spelled differently? English is a crazy language to learn, Helo!
Also managed to cram the pants with the broken zipper into a medium sized "if it fits, it ships" flat rate Post Office box, so they're ready to go back, too.
Called the folks that sold the new flail mower to ask about the missing hydraulic hoses and learned that they should have been included. I dropped the box blade off of the tractor and backed it up to the flail to measure the length of the needed hoses, and left them voicemail asking for a call back. Hopefully they'll do so today.
And FedEx seems to have lost a package they were supposed to hold for pickup, so I have another email into StarLink asking them to replace the lost item. Took the better part of a week for them to respond to my first question, so we're not off to a good start.
Town run for groceries today; not sure what else I'll get into.
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
