Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

53F and windy with bright sunshine @ 12:30, heading up to around 58F for the days high.

Ten Day now showing only 3 days with a significant chance of rain, 4 days with lows in the mid to upper 30's though ...

Got some cauliflower seeds replanted yesterday to replace the seedlings that failed.

Plus more watering done on seedlings.

Pots with redbud seeds placed in trays with clear plastic covers on them to retain moisture. Sun today should help those to pop.

Otherwise spent most of the day watching YouTubes on gardening ... which is deadly ...

Thinking about taking down and replacing the 2 cattle panel straight vertical trellises with wire concrete remesh panels from Menards ... and then repurposing the cattle panels for arched trellises.

Remesh panels are 4' x 8' ... so only half the size of a cattle panel. But they are only $7 bucks as compared to the cheapest cattle panels (Rural King, Wooster, OH) which are $28. (No longer on sale at TSC, so back up to $38)

The remesh panels are 10 gauge, cattle panels are 4 gauge.

I think they should be heavy enough for tomatoes ... although they might require an additional t-post on each panel for support.

After sharing this idea with The Woman, She proposed getting enough remesh panels to cover the strawberries to use as a support for a row cover ...

Now look what I have gotten myself into ...

She's chomping at the bit and has already headed out back to investigate the current situation and start cleaning up the garden.

Personally, I was thinking about seeing if I could get the parts of lawn I've mowed cored.

Have more spraying I need to do ... but it's way to windy to do it today.

Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...

Process of elimination BEF

Verified the wires going to combustion motor is getting 120v, but motor not working.
Removed the motor from stove. Harman stoves are very easy to work on.
Connected to 120v on my work bench, still not turning.
Got set screw for the fan blade off, it was tough.
Need to order. New ones don’t look as robust as the original.

Unopened tube of RTV to seal stove pipe is all dried up. Guess it’s been on my shelf too many years.

SDS max bit should be in my mailbox, won’t get to that today probably.

But I did, drilled couple dozen holes in rock . Now if I just had 0 deg days and some water.

Kyle_in_Tex,

David, that almost sounds like a ripoff.
Agreed. My thoughts this is a mid $20k economy model, even with extra shipping and taxes still under $30k, no where near $46

Are you saying they don't want your tractor in trade? Nope

Is your tractor under any kind of warranty still? About year left

I may have missed it, but what is wrong with it and why can't they fix it? Maybe a good chance that someone on this board can help get it running right.

The intermittent stalling issue, posted elsewhere. Yes, some good hints, but no success.


I hope you get things figured out. I would sell it myself outright. Then go buy what you want.

I’d be reluctant to sell unless fixed or buyer understood/accepted issue. Been a great tractor up until this issue. But I wouldn’t buy from this dealer.

Went and played tennis with son this morning. Working on my thigh gap hahaha.

Except for post play taco.

Pop, looks great. I'm wondering how to get cleaner cuts. Ours has hypertherm power max 105.

Nice work, Paul

Pop, nice church key. If it doesn't work as intended then you could still use it on the short sides to pop off the tops. Use the longer length as a pry bar and your index finger knuckle as the fulcrum.

Good Afternoon,
Paul, that is one heavy duty opener ! That thing will never wear out !

We had fun on the bird watch hike/ tour !
Wind was unbelievable! Will post a pic of that !
