Good Morning,
I don't understand why it takes me so long to lube my zero turn.
Billy, that must be a big machine , curious what model you have ? Maybe a picture when you can 😉
I have a small Toro, 22 or /3 hp with a 42” deck, but the Ct house only sits on 1 acre. I think only have 2 zerks.
aluminum pneumatic grease guns and switched to a battery powered grease gun
What brand do you have Pontug?
This is the YouTube I watched, I did use a different brand that I got at Lowe"s - 511 Anti-Slip it works the same.
Don, is that stuff good for pressed concrete also ? I just pressure washed the pressed concrete around the inground pool and need to coat with something.

Good Morning TBN,
Ct, 60 to start going to 86, looks to be the warmest day this week.

Pizza / pool party went well but both Kathleen and I were pretty much exhausted by the time everyone left and we did all the cleaning up. She told me it will be a long time before she does that again 😉😂

This morning I plan on going back to Southford Falls state park, and I believe we have a couple other radio club members that will meet me out there this morning. I have more frequency options now that I have the coil so hope to get another successful activation in today.

Kathleen’s little garden is doing quite well this year, we have harvested some beautiful tomatoes, cukes and squash and zucchini. We only have 3 , 4’by 8’ raised beds and the amount of produce is amazing.

That’s about it for now, hope all have a great start to their week 🙏

good Monday morning all
nothing like a fresh tomato; got two emails from friends saying how much they enjoyed my tomatoes.

am off around 7:30 this morning to local imaging center to get an ultrasound of my groin. Sounds like a gooey affair...
but I need to rule in, or out, a hernia, as it still hurts to walk

then home to inspect the work done on rv, waiting for brown caulk to arrive by Amazon to fix the joint of the two pieces.
from the rain, rv is black streaked again so might give it a wash on a nice day.
I was not able to caulk the rv lights. Got up on top of ladder, vertigo hit, oh my, time to get off, wobbled
all the way down.
I'm on top of an 8 foot ladder and felt like I was on top of the Empire State building.
will send up my 14 yo helper next weekend.

hope you all have a nice day

some car stuff:
if you have a modern GM car that can perform OTA, over the air updates, GM just
announced new ruling saying any damage done to car by not updating with 45 days is no
longer covered under warranty nor will they be responsible for damages done.
most interesting.
lawyers hard at work, understandably actually since there are fools out there doing incredibly stupid
Darwinian driving as well as never changing their oil ever
and for a long time folks have been trying to blame their cars.

though sometimes the deck is stacked against you.
remember the first gen Explorers that tipped over too easily?
Ford's solution was to set tire pressure to 24psi if I remember correctly. Way too low...
and the tires of course overheated and failed and Firestone's reputation was smeared.

my 265-60-18 tires on a 5200 pound truck have a door sticker of 32psi.
I run 34 all around, due to living on very windey country roads and front tires get a lot of use
on turns. With my plain coil suspension having a little give in the tires is helpful for ride.
with an airbag suspension on the fancier model, probably not.
plus some day...I hope to pull a small travel trailer again and the extra 600 pound
tongue load requires tires up to max capability.

am honestly happy to leave 275-20 tires behind. They are on most modern pickup trucks
and large suvs and never had enough sidewall for me. Not when you live in pothole land.
I see you can now get stock 24s on a new Suburban.

55 heading to 84. Thank you.

Pony, thanks for the greasing ideas. I pretty much have those covered. One of the best tools I've bought was the DeWalt cordless grease gun. It has a nice long flexible hose, and the priming system has made changing cartridges easy. I think what takes so much tie is the many different potions I have to maneuver into to reach different parts, and how slow I seem to get up off my back 😁. I also back the zero turn up a ramp to allow me to get to the rear drive shaft underneath. The other drive shaft to the deck is the toughest to reach.

BEF, yes, nice new pedestrian bridge for the AT. If you ever want to hike McAfee, I'll go with you.

Ken, do you ever see the deer eat the stilt grass? I haven't.

Thomas, we have aa little Boo sized bear that seems to be hanging around our woods this summer.

Scotty, it's a Kubota ZD 1021. I love it...it's like Kyle says, a beast. A lot of other features makes up for the greasing challenge. Just turned over 500 hours last month.

Wife came home late yesterday, so will hang out with her rather than go the mountains today. Maybe tomorrow since Della and I had a good hike yesterday.

Don, is that stuff good for pressed concrete also ? I just pressure washed the pressed concrete around the inground pool and need to coat with something.
The label says interior and exterior for Porcelain & Ceramic & Tile & Natural Stone.
You would probably just need a sealer, unless you have a slick finish.

Good morning TBN!!
61 this morning. Going to be low 80s with a chance of rain.

I got my scrape blade done and back on the tractor. Too wet to try it out.
Pretty much watched it rain the rest of the day.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
