Got behind again. Weather still fair, but no rain, even though it was predicted for the last 5 days. A small squall just now petered out before getting here.
Since no rain, I took advantage and did some more pond weed clearing. But alas, my repurposed basketball goal post got bent when I curled the lift cylinders too far down. It has seen better days, just not too many of them. Rethinking my 2.0 version.
Actually, I can drive the bigger tractor pretty far down into the pond just before the axle gets into the water, turn the bucket down and back out pulling the weeds up on the shoreline. I have about 10 piles of weeds each as big as a sedan or so.
Weather has been balmy nice. 56F this morning going to 73.
Here is a nice webcam link to Corpus Christi's packery channel cam.

Popgadget, was thinking about you when I saw this video about the iconic B&O record player dating back to 1973 and restored to better than new condition. B&O bought up old record players and is selling them again as refurbished for 11,000 dollars but apparently a superb product
Brother had a Dual, and bought an Accutrac (sp?) that had a laser to detect the gaps between tracks. Almost as good as a CD player. It had a remote control.
What I’m finding with my new Zero Turn is that the blades rotate much faster than my old Wheel Horse and I’m able to mulch up most of my leaves on the ground , in the end I do use the lawn sweeper to pick up the mulched leaves that I’ve made rows of. Seems like a lot less work than before with the old mower.
This is what I do, mow over many times to mulch and then spread the row out.
Cost is one thing, but the bigger obstacle is admitting I'm not 25 years old, anymore.
That said, I am cheap. I just rebuilt the whole top end on the engine on my current ZTR last summer, and stripped and repainted the deck the year before. I want to get every last penny out of this machine, before I ever think about replacing it. I can afford a new mower, but I hate wasting money.
I'm with you. Fix, fix fix..
I need some bumper stickers:
"Don't laugh, its paid for"
and
"Don't laugh, I can fix it for 1 of your car payments"
Bought my JD diesel mower 23 years ago. Still running very good after all the years.
Nice, those are very pricey.
Still have my Steiner Beast. I could mow with it right now, but it could use some love.
30F clear sky.
Somehow caught heavy chest cold with all the side effects,pillow time start in couple hours.
Hope all had positive day and peaceful evening.
Hope you are getting cleared up by now.
Thanksgiving coming up be thankful for all we have
Precious has bad separation anxiety got to deal with that when we are gone out
Another rough day for Holly yesterday getting divorced etc. this is very emotionally draining
You just reminded me that I’m probably overdue for the second shingles shot. I think it’s supposed to be 2-6 weeks after the first?
Prayers for you and Holly.
Enough time has passed for me to get the 2nd shingles shot now.
I got a shingles attack in 2004 during the first 2 months of dealing with retirement decisions. It showed up in left for-head . I thought it was a bug bite. If not treated it can move into eye. Not fun. Early treatment and getting retirement decisions settled helped a lot.
In 2020 I got Singles Shots. First one then 2 months later got second shot. Dr’s reason for getting shots was you can get Shingles more than one time.
Yes as previously described, stress can cause it to rear its ugly head.
Can we call wireless hole punchers snug(s) (spelled backwards)?
Prayers for our team, our nation, and for peace in the world.
Very tricky for people that have no clue how to perform a double clutch at the correct rpm and even trickier for people that have never driven a standard transmission. I’m sure Bill could do it, he was a professional driver
