spent some time planning and confirming my next rv trip, another two day special, this time out to Lancaster to
see my lifelong friends there. They owned the Lancaster Honda dealership, and in 1988 I bought my Foreman atv from them.
since they are into music, I made reservations at the Belvedere Inn in Lancaster for dinner Friday night July 11, they have some kind of live
background music playing. Looks pricey but they liked the place.

this is such an easy trip for me, only about two hours. Out the PA turnpike a little ways and then 202/30 all the way out.
Campground is on 30 in Gordonville,Country Acres, have been there before. Probably will go to central market Sat morning, or some other bakery.
Will bring a bunch of baked goods home for the locals.

first I surely have to fix that tire. Though first actually is my 14yo nephew's son who is coming tomorrow morning to help me wax the upper
front eyebrow of the rv. Other than scaffolding, no way to reach that area, so he will slide on his stomach from above.
needs a three course dose of compound, cleaner wax and a top coat of chemical guys butter wax. I have a buffer, but this is mostly hand work due
to the vinyl lettering up there. No cleaner wax or any wax on the vinyl, just dries it out. Going to get a small towel soaked in 303 protectant and have him go over the big decal there. And once that towel is soaked with expensive 303...he can hit the plastic a/c cover, vents and cowls up on the roof. I'll keep him going til noon, by then i'll be worn out anyway. I promised to barbecue some burgers for him for lunch and that will be some quality time together. Luckily he has plenty, I mean plenty, of practice waxing stuff since his father has at least half a dozen collectible cars including Ferraris stored in his barns, and just built another three car garage. For the future...
this young man is a real worker and I don't have to supervise. Just have to explain carefully, then I'm sure it will look great when he is done.
after hanging upside down for hours, I wonder how he will be... (going to make sure he takes some breaks)

probably should go inspect the green beans, pick the larger ones. I try to pick them fairly small anyway.
this Burpee assortment is remarkably productive
I bought the half pound by mistake. I'm on the second year and I still have beans out my ears, and the germination was still perfect.

Currently 85F @ 15:30.

Just finished mowing the front.

Rehung Japanese Beetle trap.

Noticed yesterday while spraying they have started to appear.

Five more bucketloads of wood chips brought down before it got too hot.

Plants on back shelves watered.

Hopper feeder refilled, also scattered some seed for the ground feeders.

Both 1 gallon glyphosate sprayers refilled.

House sparrow trap looks like it has 4 - 6 customers in it.

Think I’m going to have some lunch before I do anything else.

I went to investigate the same rear rv tire looking low and the tpms sensor was gone.
as was the inner tire extension. Took off the hubcap, end of extension ripped off and sensor gone.
that would explain the flat...
means jacking up the rv to get the outer rim off and that I will delegate to the gas station. I need a new air
extension anyway. Straight one broke so I replaced it with a flexible one. Now that broke. ? I think it's the weight of the tpms
sensor creating issues

mounted new weather station sender outside onto post of pergola, put screen for it on my office desk.
was not able to aim it correctly so I might have to rethink the mount. Wants to be on a post away from everything.
I'm blocked from at least one direction now, but I really don't care about wind from the East, not a big issue usually.

I've heard of numerous valve stem failures from the tpms sensors hanging off the end of the valve stems.
Motorcycles and trailers seem to have been the most effected.

M7040 a drive with the mrs and she is feeling better, thats a good day.

Thanks, indeed nice to be able to do something that she likes

I used to work in Barberton. Spent a large part of my life in Stow. Glad I moved though

Used to go there weekly for progress reports with customer and major supplier

Mowed some more and got stuck again in wet areas. The ZT has very limited ability to get it self out of trouble. The turf will look fine and then it breaks through and it is over. Had to get the tractor out a few times

 

[Buppies]

Like mowing at the pond m7040 if pond is up I’m stuck or below pond near road often damp if a lot of rain. Just easier to use truck than walk up hill to get tractor.

Glad wife is feeling better mine has slept all afternoon so has puppy

If my front deck Kubota didn't have available 4wd I would hate see how often I'd have stuck or spun out going up hill. Quite often I'll be reaching for the 4wd lever in anticipation of needing it.

Drew, do you have Steel Valve Stems?
