Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 7C and the predicted High is 22C, It's clear and calm. No rain. A beautiful day ahead.
The ground had dried/drained enough that I was able to chain-harrow paddocks 3/4/5! I then decided to Z-turn mow those paddocks IOT assist breaking up and spreading the horse droppings... which led to the decision to mow the front paddock, avoiding the vastly reduced but still present, 'moat' in front of the shed.
As I was mowing I realised that I was doing so at a Lawn Tractor speed, "Hey, I'm on a Z-turn! Let's open this baby up!!!" WOW, a great cut and heaps of fun but I did need to clench my teeth for fear of breaking teeth or jaw.
I'll finish off the horse exercise area/paddock later on today.
That's about it, take care all.

The first job after graduating as mechanical engineer was working for a small inventor company with a bunch of young employees. The first project I got involved with was to raise a sunken ship in Kuwait via a method never been used before except in a cartoon with Donald Duck. You may have fun reading about it:

I was thinking balloons. How many ping pong balls did it take, what did it cost and what happened to the ping pong balls afterwards?The first job after graduating as mechanical engineer was working for a small inventor company with a bunch of young employees.

It was polystyrene beads that was used. The deck had to be reinforced because of the uplift and time was of the essence because of 6000 sheep on the ship and the intake was close to the desalination plant that was used for drinking water for Kuwait

Evening all, been a couple of weeks, have to get caught up again.
Been busy playing with leaves and getting stuff ready for when the next season arrives lol. The weather has been great for outside stuff. The Mrs had an interesting bug bite on her back, thing turned into a big cyst and when it popped and drained it left a hole about 1/4” diameter and 3/4” deep. She went to doc’s and they dug around inside, cleaned it up and packed it with gauze, I had to pull that out, clean and repack every day until it healed enough you couldn’t stuff gauze in it anymore, took about 2 wks. It’s mostly healed up now.
Saw this on the news a couple days ago, I know mistakes can happen, but time to man up!
