What did you buy this week?

[old and tired]

Is there an echo in here?

@LouNY, If you don't have the oil filter cap to put on oil filter, a zip lock bag works well instead.

I’m figuring you already have these Lou? These second one is great for getting the oil filter out without a mess. You may not need the first one for a 25 I guess. I think they moved the underhood fuel filter on them.

Yes, I got both of those items when I bought the truck. I would love to find the engineers and bean counters that decided how and where to mount the oil filter. I would gladly shoot all of them. Getting the filter off and out wasn't bad, but getting the new filled filter screwed on was a ridiculous nightmare. I know that at 74 I've lost a lot of strength in my hands but damn trying to lift that filter and then screw it on with just one hand was a bit*h. I swear it took me a solid half hour to get the new filter spun on. Bur she is done for a year most likely.

You got me thinking. I have 40 white pine trees to cut and the tree service was going to charge $100/stump. This Mechmaxx has an excellent rating and I'm thinking I ought to order one. I can use it occasionally in the future also. Pines are all about 2ft diameter +--. Have you used it yet? Seems like a great deal.

I also have four Bradford Pear stumps about 30" diameter.
Deere hydrostatic with 40 PTO hp.

I have it all set up and stumps cleaned off, looking at the YouTube videos I decided to install a camera.
I installed the camera using magnets today and will start on the stumps Monday.

Bought 8 new tires getting installed to day 4 for my 2500 sierra that I'm selling or trading in soon 4 for my wife's telluride kept with the cooper brand getting installed today. To my disappointment cooper stopped manufacturing at3 load range e for my 2500 definitely were the best tires I've ever owned hopefully these new tires are similar to the at3 tire I previously praised. Which were great for winter driving and using to get to various slick sections of my properties where 4wd is required needing to haul something bigger than sxs or ATVs can transport. Not to mention better tread life than I was expecting.

I bought a scuffle hoe or "hula hoe" (which, contrary to popular belief is NOT a Hawaiian call girl). Have seen these things advertised for years, but never needed one. Now I have some flower beds to weed, so thought I would try it. My findings: works as advertised.

I ordered the one you showed Friday in green since I have a JD. They have a camera on sale also. Maybe I should add to order...

Bought a small riding mower for the tight spots in the yard to go with my big zero-turn:

I have had my LX178 with the 38" deck since early 1995. It is a little beast of a lawn tractor. Congrats, the tractor looks to be in exceptional condition. Picture of mine attached.

Drip irrigation arrived today, for a small test plot of approx 200 evergreens. To combat new tree die off. Before I plant this fall, Most likely caused by lack of water. I shall see. Looking forward to learning something new. Insight and Tips by experienced irrigation folks is appreciated.

Finished installing my new drip irrigation on 200 new Xmas trees. Ran 4,3/4" inch main lines came off 3/4" with 1/4 line to perforated 1/4" around trees. If I don't have carpal tunnel I do know putting 1/4" barbed ts and couplers is a royal pia. Taught myself a few tricks and learned something.new for if I continue irrigation on future trees. Any questions feel free to ask id be happy to tell you my experiences for first time drip irrigation installation. Initial test at end of 3/4" using perforated tree ring line put almost 2 quarts of water in a bucket in 25 mins to give me an idea what the shallow well can do and feeder lines can dispense.

I went out to see how much of a PITA it is to look around to operate and immediately went back inside to find a BU camera system and magnets I just happened to have on hand for another project. Installed Sat.I will start stump grinding on Monday.

If I didn't have a camera system on hand, I would have put one on order.

May not be right for you, but my neck is 87 yrs old, I know better than be out there cutting down trees and grinding stumps but I can't help myself and it beats watching TV.
