Good morning!!!!

Good Morning
It’s 66 with a high of 80. Foggy this morning, sunny after it burns off.
Should be a good day for Ken’s party.

Yesterday was entirely consumed with traveling. Went pretty well, had a gyro failure enroute to Akron that had to be dealt with. We got to Akron uneventfully, the weather was clear, then made the short hop to Washington, PA where our maintenance is done. They swapped out the gyro, and had lunch ready for us. They got us right out, we made it back to Philly in time to do the Martha’s Vineyard trip as scheduled. Dinner at Mission BBQ afterwards, home in time to do a few chores like install the $56 plastic handle that adjusts the seat height in the Transit Connect replacing the duct tape that covered the metal stub. That was cheapest that I could find, it’s just about a one ounce piece of plastic.

Today wife is off to Farmers Market with the Transit Connect on its maiden voyage. That leaves me home with Zoe, and she has house cleaners scheduled for this morning. Zoe and I will go over to the shop to stay out of their way, hopefully they will be out of here early enough for me to get to Ken’s party. Not much else planned, I’ll work on finishing the P51 converted to electric power, and a bit of paperwork this morning.

65 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Like in may hit 90. Cannot see outside this AM. Nice blanket of fog.

095 line in the weed whacker was an OMG moment. Perfect for my fence lines. It was a real difference maker.

Spent a lot of time with the plumber on the Milk House. Looks like I will have to go with a grinder and pump. Waiting on my topography people with the slope info to get back to me, confirming that option. Sad, but necessary. I hope the guy comes in with a reasonable price. He said he would like to do the concrete work too. Well if the price is right, someone else can demo and dig. Not me, is fine.

ZTR came back, Yippie! I had to do a double take on it. Nice, shiny and clean. Ahh.....I usually keep my equipment clean, but dang, not kidding, this was an impressive job. Everything was done to my satisfaction. Exceeded my expectations for sure. Turn around time was faster than anticipated. My original Kubota dealer for the ZTR went out of business, so I returned to this business, which was my first dealer for my earlier Kubota's a long time ago....

Grass is the agenda for the next few days...needless to say.

Hope all have a great start to the weekend. Be safe.

Suns up, burning off the fog, wow, what a difference a few moments in time make.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

63.4F going to mid 80s, clear day forecasted.

Show last night was excellent!

Brass is front and center, as it should be.

Harry had a good day at Playhouse, he came home and conked out. A tired puppy is a GOOD puppy!

Stopped at Kubota dealer and picked up a set of filters, everything except hydraulic tank breather element (out of stock). $196. I know I don‘t need them for a while yet, but it is nice to have them on the shelf if the cargo ships start backing up again, or at least before prices go up more. Best economy ever…

kubota parts guy came from a family that owned a grading company, had a good discussion. He operated a dozer primarily. Discussed a bunch of practical operating topics, and Mrs now has a better understanding of why I want to get the next-door neighbor’s 310g dozer running and borrow it.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!



plan today is to head up to woodlot and detail clear the area where the dog enclosure will go, and maybe even get it assembled.

Good Morning Guys,

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

I was just this morning remarking to myself the longevity of my recliner. It's a La-z-Boy from about 1990 (lifetime warranty). About a year or two after I bought it the base broke. One I returned it, they fixed it, been going good ever since. I wonder if their quality has declined like most everything else.
Been thinking of getting SWMBO one of those "self ejecting" recliners.
Can you tune them for more power?
