Good morning!!!!

Drew,

Good job working through the issues with the gate. Be careful hauling the cart backwards on the trailer. I have seen them crack or blow out the windshield from the wind. Always make sure it is in the lowered position. Even the bottom section is at risk towing backwards.

I never thought of that, good advice. Must be a way to protect.

if the bottom half of the windshield, already folded down comes out easily, I'm going to put the whole thing in the back of the car.
It's brand new plexi and I'd like it to arrive happily and unscratched.
If not, I'll put multiple bungies on them
also have to figure out whether to have pickup up exposed or fold down the rear seats. Will experiment, look at it from windflow, trying to reduce
resistance.

Can probably put a bar clamp across it to keep from bowing. Just nylon tie it to the upright so it doesn't rattle off, and your towel wrapped around the bar so it doesn't scratch the windshield. Taking the windshield off by yourself would be a bugger.

thanks, I've never tried. I had one of these many years, never took window down. Cleaned it carefully a lot.
I have some big plastic tie downs. If I combine two, wrap the towel over the folded window and then strap it in several
places, that sounds like a good plan. It is different for sure when wind is blowing in the reverse direction they engineer the cart for.

And while I like the looks of the rear bed up instead of seats, when the wind blows that direction, it is directly trying to pull the front panel off its rubber snaps,
constantly trying to blow it loose. With seats folded down, the wind pushes the whole contraption back into its hold of sorts and you rubber strap it down that way.
I really didn't want that folding plastic bed exposed to the wind.

just cleaned up the mower, gassed it up, gave it a tiny bit of 10/30 full syn, added two more straps when I finally found them, and finally going to get my shower.
Oh, watered more plants. Those snowball bushes are getting a lot of love. Whole lot of love.

Dad in back seat, they said these 3 were the only remaining WW2 vets in the county.

Those are some pretty spiffy flying tools, Paul. It would be nice to have something like that on the bike, but the version Garmin sells for their GPS is not very good and costs a LOT of money. I put bird spikes on the rain collector of the Davis here to keep it from filling up with bird doody.

I use a free app called MyRadar that works very well while driving. I am spoiled by the tools in the plane though.

I did install the “new and improved” rain collector with the bird spikes, and a bottom screen with another spike as well, but the birds are tenacious..

lot of lawn in bottom of shower again.

Drew, glad the trailer worked out..... with a few inches to spare!

Wow! 3.5 hours cutting.... no wonder you're tired. And, going back for another round!

Did the neck feel OK?
