I’ll second that 🤪

68°F and .02 inches rain. Not a particularly productive day yesterday, but not energy conservation day either. Guys lost H&F, but not a rout. Today Sophie had surgery prep with ophthalmologist. Early afternoon so kinda messed with the day. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Can almost relate Frits, except a better outcome. Lent a friend my rototiller. He checked oil in the gear box and found water. Drained and refilled only to find seal leaking. Likely how water got it. Fortunately I had a spare seal correct size. He said it sounded good.

Drew, nope, that is a new spigot, but that 3 inch pipe is a gutter catchment 1st flush that trickles water. I think real culprit is electrician found a cheap piece of plywood, likely just interior grade. New piece will be exterior and well painted before installation.

67°F and no rain A PO run this morning. Back to my electrical box repair. We host H&F this afternoon. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

So the mounting panel behind this junction box rotted out and needs be replaced. Rotted board easy to remove, the various screws, not so much. This box houses the leads between 2 subpanels.

Believe I used 3/16 angle

66°F and 1.3 inches rain. A wet one yesterday but sun shining this morning. No plan for today, coffee first. Likely to make a stab at progress with the hydro setup. Procrastinating starting next round of mowing. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Naaa, not listed on menu as Hawaiian [emoji16]. The egg on top kinda put it in the loco moco category, except no gravy.

68°F and .03 inches rain. Didn’t get a lot accomplished yesterday morning. My friend Keith had arranged to borrow my tiller. No problem, got it ready for him, but then it was after 12:30 when he drove off. Keith loves to visit. Then I had to load the garbage, diesel cans etc and it was time to...

And I had to chuckle again as I read to Sophie. [emoji23]

65°F and .16 inches rain. Excellent pot roast last night. Tried remembering, but couldn’t last time we had pot roast, been that long. Mary, the 92 yo made an excellent apple pie. Great company as well. Happy Hour this week will be at the golf course this afternoon. Prayers for all Be safe...

Hydroponic frame assembled. Need to prep area abit, like add electrical drop, but the panel is enroute, not here.

69°F and .04 inches rain. Have to add copper strips to my hydroponic legs to deter slugs. They carry rat lung disease here, not a good thing. Two copper strips each leg will keep them from the plant area. Most concerning are leafy types like lettuce. Really enjoyed my calamari and scallops...

Got lucky and found appropriate fittings for plumbing modification. Not a matched set, but doubtful anyone will notice as the spigots are 10 ft apart, 1 inside, 1 outside the structure. Olympics is competing for my time - and winning. At least I don’t need to go to HD, but still meeting...

Thanks, RS. I will be using a nutrient solution. Will initially try both bush and climbing with some sort of support. We had a volunteer climber that gave use great yield. It supported self just climbing the wall.

Interesting on the water rooted tomatoes, RS. I intend to try tomatoes in my hydroponics.

Reminded me of a trip years ago https://www.madurodam.nl/en

Wow, Phil, sounds delicate

67°F and .15 inches rain. As part of my project need to reconfigure a water line drop from a single to 2 spigots. Need to paw through my inventory but fully suspect I don’t have all the parts so a stop at HD later, before meeting friends in town. Glad you had a safe trip, Drew. Prayers for...

Likely either would work as rails as long as adequately sized and you can support. Are you going to be painting/ repainting the steel. I leave my aluminum natural and use SS fasteners. How will you attach? Your panels appear to have some sort of attachment. I just predrilled and bolted directly...

I find I need to practice over and over again. Still not quite got it.

Sophie had a good Dr visit, but I’m sorta scratching my head. Her eye pressure was up a tad and he looked, examined for an extended time. Commented that he had a very similar case in another office ( has at least 3) where the patient was on the same meds and the tear healed completely. I think...

Don’t know about Don’s door but this is a great product. I’ve seen my Canadian friend, Dave do some amazing things with it at the cottage both on wood and Hardi panel.

Nope, but I did pay $2900 plus tax each. Bought 15 of them [emoji16] SimpliPhi 3.8

67°F and .27 inches rain I did relocate and set up paint station in tractorshed, dried everything and got it done. Guys won H&F 🤙 UPS delivered my new Eufy S340. Off this morning to Hilo town. Friday follies and Sophie has prep with ophthalmologist. Should have some project time this...

Plow, good outcome for Rigby, thanks to your attention. Years ago, our male, Flash, was addicted to cane toads when he was younger. Always on the watch but a couple times he got one. We always kept liquid Benadryl ready. Problem is not that they ingest the poison, but absorbed. Through tongue...

Wngsprd. That’s why we liked it, sturdy stuff and Aaron wasn’t a gentle kid. I’m sure my homemade version was even sturdier. I used 2x6’s and 8 inch lags for the side rails.[emoji16]

Best laid plans… Looks like rained out again. Should have made a paint area in tractorshed. 🤪

71°F and .01 inches rain. Making slow progress on my project, painting progress. Some may recall I scored an old hydroponics set up last year. I’m finally redoing it to fit my needs. Sometimes building from scratch may be less work. But there is satisfaction in rehabbing especially when the...

Nice pic, Dennis. Love the colors.

That’s very nice, Ted. 🤙

Very nice, Fuddy

Good job on the bunks, Scotty. Reminds me of some history. We had just bought a house and in need of furniture. Aaron was about 10 and wanted bunk beds. Some of you may recall a place called “This ends up” which had wood furniture styled after shipping crates. Tight budget. I ended up building...

70°F and 1.27 inches rain. Of course that messed with my plan for yesterday. Actually my poor execution of said plan. Had I been smarter I would have painted first thing in morning, but Nooooo. Opted to do the errand runs first then paint. Of course the skies opened up and almost immediately...

Very nice, Phil

Small trailer option?

Mmmmm, look tasty, Frits

69°F and .64 inches rain. Not nearly as much as Mostly. Very nice HH yesterday, awesome food. My shrimp a big hit. Need to make both a PO and dump run this morning. Have some project pieces ready to paint, but will have to dry out from the rain. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Happy Anniversary Phil. And many more I’ll bet that turkey will be greatly appreciated. 🤙

68°F and .16 inches rain. Today’s Happy Hour will be home hosted at friends. Spanish theme. I will be attempting A Spanish Garlic Shrimp. My dealer tech supposed to be getting guidance from factory tech 🤞 Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Thanks Scott.

RNG, and I thought it was only my cans. I even crank the top down with pliers, but still dry up. Only buy the small cans now unless a project.

Great story, Drew

Another one of these tragedies on news not long ago, distracted parent “forgot” child in rear. So I remarked to Sophie, seems maybe justication for putting kids in rear seat was safety, but I have to wonder when the kids were up front how many were forgotten. Wonder if. There is a tally...

Hard to believe my furry little boy is 4 years old today. Still acts like a puppy, most days [emoji16]

72°F and .01 inches rain. Not a strenuous day yesterday. Some slow,easy maintenance on Sophie’s BX, what a workhorse that has proven to be. Tested my plumbing fix at the cottage, good and while there fiddled with Dave’s cheaply security camera. One of those lightbulb looking things. Basically...

Nice table, Drew

70°F and 3.63 inches rain. Kinda wet. Not sure where it all came from, not in forecast. Fortunately I was able to get some stuff done in the morning, a plumbing repair at cottage and mow at cottage. Splurged for a late lunch with Kirkland crab clusters. They were worth it. Not sure what...

Happy Birthday, Kyle And many more

Best of healing Don, those rib shots can be painful.

Drew, have to laugh, would not consider a new vehicle without a sun/moon roof. Open ours most trips unless raining. We rarely turn on ac.

69°F and .11 inches rain. Not sure I got anything major done yesterday , but… Dealer tech still working tractor issue. Higher level asked for more info. Still hopeful. A bit envious you guys getting your Amazon orders already. Kirkland stuffed salmon came out excellent. Nice visit with...

Thanks Ron Envious, none on the items I ordered for Prime have progressed. Earlier arrival date is July 28th.

Awesome.

After a $40+ trip to local cutter for both Sophie and I we opted to get the $46 kit from Costco. What’s been an unexpected is the reaction from folks. I’ve cut Sophie’s 3 times and every time she gets unsolicited compliments. Makes me feel I did a good job.

67°F and .45 inches. Light rain as I type. Trip to Costco went well. Left over $600 for what appeared a lesser amount of stuff. We did splurge on a couple of food items, some nice crab legs and the stuffed salmon which we’ll share with friends this afternoon. The hot dog and soda made for a...

Wngsprd, Della sure seems to have enjoyed that.

Drew, sounds like a nice truck 🤙 I’m sometimes curious as to how much sand is left, but just can’t tell.

68°F and .01 inches rain Down to last bag of dogfood. Off to Konaside and Costco. Long day that results in spending a good chunk of change. Oh well maybe I’ll find something interesting. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Looks like Sophie will be cleared for surgery p. Had a problem with her white coat blood pressure, never got a good reading. Dr suggested we start monitoring at home. So ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q6G9B4K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3CR6COA8J61N&psc=1 Another Prime...

Don, it depends. The eero is a router and you can add a switch.

RNG. I use the Davis Weatherlink app. Allows me access to my data as well and some friends.

Thanks for that Ford video, Bill. Informative

Expanding my Pet/Security camera system. Ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCYP6KFM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A1U62USFOR8NN3&th=1 Prime Day

69°F and .06 inches rain. Sunny morning so far Off to morning appointment. Sophie needs her preop check. Didn’t get the upholstery shampooed yesterday as was sure it would dry before trip to town. Safety inspection was uneventful. Nice small Happy Hour. My Thai pasta shrimp salad was...

I’ve been using Eero since they first came out. Quite pleased with them. Should be on sale during Prime.

Good Monday Morning 67°F and .29 inches rain. Starting off rainy again. When it clears up hope to get the little Chevy Spark cleaned up, ready to sell. Needs a good vacuuming. Might do the upholstery. Pretty sure I can recover at least what I paid for it. Need to take it into town for Safety...

This round of mowing complete 🤙🤙🤙 Sophie’s BX turned 300 hours. Just over 2 years. I bit sad to say, but a good chunk of those hours should have been on my LS.

Prayers for your loved one, Frits.

70°F and .19 inches rain. Held out until afternoon and able to mow a couple hours. Maybe today will be better. Have about half of my main, interior section left. Still mind boggled over yesterday. We need a new direction. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Very carefully I’d assume

Nice to know. I’m pretty much a PB Blaster guy, will have to try mouse milk.

Marketing I guess. Often I will see prices change. % off, before a sale it will go up, then you see it on sale, but often just same price as earlier.

Mouse Milk - learned something new 🤙

Dennis I found that a single set of outriggers was nice and stable https://www.homedepot.com/p/MetalTech-14-in-Scaffold-Outriggers-with-5-in-Heavy-Duty-Caster-Wheels-Compatible-with-Metaltech-Baker-Scaffolding-4-Pack-I-CISO4/203504539

Like your table, Ken 🤙

Don I found that researching wasn’t as straight forward as I would have liked. Good info on the Amazon site, even more on Eufy.com, but to me not well organized. HomeBase 3 S380 is the newer base, but you need to look at the compatibility chart. I started with HomeBase 2 (was on sale) but have...

Paul Really nice job on that ladder 🤙 I have 3 sections of that scaffold, used when I painted house last summer. Really handy.

Drew, sounds like a great choice. Love wood, the look, the smell, the touch…

Wngsprd Yup, pig hunting quite popular here, couple of my friends do as well. I saw 2 of mine when mowing the other day. Tractor doesn’t bother them. One was likely 175lbs or more, largest I’ve seen on that end of property. We have 3 areas on the property they live. It is my intent when I get my...

69°F and .15 inches rain and overcast. It’s Saturday again Would like to get main area mowed today but looking doubtful as I just heard the putter pat start. May have to find inside options else energy conservation. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Cams https://www.eufy.com/build-your-own-security-system?ref=navimenu_6_copy...

Got that Hilo section all mowed Apparently the pigs are really pleased as well

69°F and .06 inches rain Things dried up quicker than expected yesterday and got a couple hours mowing. With luck another couple hours today will finish that area. Got to talk with my tractor tech. Unfortunately he hadn’t had response from higher up. Didn’t seem surprised as he said he had...

Just a regular toad, Ken? We have bufo toads here. Poisonous.

68°F and .32 inches rain almost all since midnight and still raining. Couldn’t mow in morning too wet, but did get haircuts. Got about half my Hilo mowing done and had hope to finish today but too wet and likely not dry out until late afternoon at best. Friends coming over mid afternoon to...

Great looking garden, RS

If my older Eufy’s any indicator I’d say great option. Expandable both interior and exterior.

Currently looking at this trip Grand Tour of Ireland | EF Go Ahead Tours like the idea of going around the island vs just a couple of spots. 2 weeks makes it worthwhile. Looking at making own travel arrangements appears extending back to Dublin might make sense vs leaving from Belfast. Lot of...

69°F and .16 inches rain. An excellent day mowing with Sophie’s BX yesterday, got the Laupahoehoe end of property all mowed. Just about the right height and density. I did leave message for my LS tech, but he didn’t call back as he texted he would. Guess that might mean nothing to report...

Ken what are your pros/cons for picking top finish?

69°F and .24 inches rain sun shining. By the looks of the grass I need to start new round of mowing. Growing pretty fast. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Happy. Birthday, Mostly, and many many more

Trip to neighbor was more social than work. He actually has his pole barn garage mostly built and discussed alternatives for the 1 wall. The glulam definitely overkill and he was concerned about the weight. Gonna be a nice space. Rationale for building was to have an area to clear coat his...

When residing the house in Georgia, all the old siding had to be removed. Got rid of it 1 bag at a time.

Extra prayers for all you with extra challenges. [emoji120]

Happy Birthday, NHBX

Drew, no fees on the Eufy cams. They do have that option or just use SD storage.

Speaking of cukes. One of our 4th of July friends showed up with 2 boxes of fresh picked cukes, those mini cukes about 6x1. Everyone got their share and we got the remaining. Sophie peeled and sliced 40 to make what we call Japanese pickles. The slices get liberally salted, sit for 12-16 hours...

Congrats Uncle Phil

67°F and .05 inches rain a bit overcast. No big plans for the day, likely piddle about. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Dennis This is current offering https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-15-Amp-10-in-Compact-Portable-Corded-Jobsite-Table-Saw-with-Folding-Stand-RTS12/309412842 I’ve had 2 over the years. 1st one when building the house before I got my craftsman to build our cabinets. Sold the blue Ryobi. Got this...

Generator fix was easy. A bit of investigation revealed it had been wired for autostart, but neighbor didn’t have any instructions. A challenge when someone assembles units from 3 different manufactures not counting the major, non factory mode to generator itself. Able to get it sorted out and...

Too nice for the wood stove. 🤙

I get E0 for both car and truck as well as the small engine stuff. Even Costco has it here.

69°F and no rain. Neighbors generator was an easy fix yesterday. Going back down today to see if we can reconfigure for Autostart. Seems like his equipment should be capable. Does appear his controller might be overkill and I had to spend time in the install manual. Hopefully it’s just the...

Ok, someone got a pic of some of the food

Re cameras Still quite happy with the Eufy cameras I got Amazon Prime days last years. Went with solar/battery powered for exterior, wifi to a central hub. My 2 indoor, pan and tilt are on wifi controlled outlets for privacy. Was easy to check in during our mainland trip.

69°F and .04 inches rain. Not much planned for the day. Recovery from the 4th [emoji1] Neighbor wants me to take a look at his off grid solar that isn’t producing as it should. Not at all familiar with his system so not expecting much. Most likely something simple or a component failure...

Kinda messed up, no pics. Somehow got a bit behind. 1st time in 15 years I didn’t have all the food ready on time. I made 10 lbs of chicken thighs, marinated, grilled, finished in oven and an 8 lb pork loin, dry rubbed, grilled, finished in oven. Lots of comments how good they were. Additionally...

Looking good, Ken

Drew, don’t have the link but saw Walmart has the Blackstone, combo charcoal/propane griddle on sale $200

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs NHBX

Happy Birthday America 67°F and .07 inches rain. OK, maybe not the best birthday, but perhaps things are getting better? Final prep for our gathering this afternoon. Expecting pretty of good food. This will be our 15tf 4th celebration here. Missed a few during Covid. Hope everyone one has a...

Good for your son, Dennis

68°F and .32 inches rain. Today will be piddling around prepping for tomorrow’s gathering. Need to marinate some chicken and season some pork loin to grill tomorrow. Yea, the food is the most important. LOL Of course a bit of housekeeping, throw a case of water in the fridge, clean and hook...

My day took unprogrammed turn, but a good one. Still having coffee when I got a text from my dealer tech saying to call him as he was coming Hiloside this morning. So my priority became my tractor would fail while he was here. Got it to fail and repeated fail all morning. Shawn arrived and...

All my roofs are metal. All but cottage are 3/12 or less, but still not a favorite place to be.

Great stories, Drew 🤙

68°F and .3 inches rain Over 50 lbs of shredded cardboard so far. That’s just the 2 bags I weighed. A 3rd is started. And I still reserved a couple large pieces. Need to make another dump run. Will make a brewery run this afternoon. Need to replenish a keg for the 4th. Prayers for all...

Nice

Cardboard is one of the few things our county does recycle. We decided we would try the shredded stuff as a mulch. We don’t do well composting as Sophie always takes the veggie and fruit scraps to feed the cows.

Safe trip, RNG

Had to lookup Foxtails. Poor Rigby, get betta soon.

Drew, nephew we recently visited had just gotten a Blackstone and cooked us a delicious meal. His wife apparently got a great deal at Walmart and got for anniversary gift to him. Also curious as to comments. My Weber is in need of rehab or replacement.

Project pics, Ron?

66°F and .72 inches rain. Looks like another couple hours shredding cardboard. Long, tedious process but I’m impressed with the Amazon Basics 24 sheet shredder. Hasn’t choked on anything. My challenge is getting strips the proper width. So easy to be just 1/2 inch or so too wide. Once caught...

Looking forward to your progress

Hope these help My rails were matched to the PV factory holes Conceivably, I could have considered slots in the alumimum rails. I used 1/4 SS nuts and bolts. Note my panels were a tad short of 12ft, but that was ok. A 4th row would have been overkill for me, but I did consider it. Only bolted...

I did a 12x24 solar panel roof a couple years ago. A nice covered area to park stuff. How are you going to address seal between panels? I just ran a bead of silicone, but have a few spots that leak. I I had it to do over, might consider using butyl tape, but there may be something else available...

Amend to that, Drew. Sophie just constantly amazes me. Having almost lost her twice, I never forget. I am blessed.

66°F and 0 rain. Great day mowing yesterday. Finished up just as my body was sending the message “it’s time”. Some time off from mowing. Need to attempt some garage attention today. That will involve a trip or 2 to the dump. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

69°F and .18 inches rain Pretty morning. Looks like I’ll have to take advantage and start another round of mowing. Nothing really to report on Sophie’s ophthalmologist visit other than he was happy with what he saw. Was interesting that he had another Dr in and he was excited about her...

Nope, not silly Dealer tech checked & cleaned grounds as did my friend. Friend also topped on battery with distilled water, but it is 5 years old.visually, can’tfind a wire problem. Yesterday, the tech found a newly release note regarding EGR valve. Looking to replace.

That is some visible progress, Paul 🤙

67°F and 0 rain Sophie has ophthalmologist appointment this morning. Prep for her 8/5 surgery. We’ll do errands while in town. Need to refill my diesel. Like get lunch after Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Look very similar to our poha berries.

Yea, I’ve wondered about that. And yet the tractor will start back up. With lead shorted out, what is causing the change of state? ODBII doesn’t show a new error.

Progress? I can only hope. Just got off phone with my LS dealer tech. LS recently released a a tech note concerning the EGR valve and its replacement. Not a trivial deal. So I will have to trailer my tractor back to dealer. Will await expected date of parts. He also confirmed no Dyno, so I will...

Normally, Thursday has been our H&F day with friends, but not today as they are experiencing the joy of malfunctioning refrigerator. Only 2 years old, hope it is readily fixed.

RNG tank and fuel level a big ? Was working fine, then I purged the tank and as result the level guage started acting up. Would go to full and immediately drop to empty. My friend, Jim decided to disconnect, jumpered the wire. When starting it work go to full, but go to empty as part of the...

Mike, maybe running short on patience, but have an excess of frustration.

Happy Birthday to your son, Frits.

Coffee frappe, now there is a term I haven’t heard in quite some time. Delicious.

Safe travels, Drew

68°F and no rain. Looks like a pretty day ahead. Mowing done. Not ready to start a new round. Going to piddle around the LS some more. Tempted to remove and clean the EGR valve, but need to figure how to get into it. Also try a manual regen. Never had a problem with the auto regen but maybe...

RNG, nope not that simple, I wish. Fuel guage been misreading since I purged tank. Jim disconnected when troubleshooting. He jumped the connector, sometimes will read full, then go to empty when stalling sequence happens. Sometimes it just stays on empty.

69°F and .01 inches rain. Got another section mowed yesterday and most likely will get last one mowed today. Just in time to start a new round [emoji1] Did lose some time listening to neighbor laying out his woes. I do have to be careful how I help to avoid his wife making my life miserable...

Versatile

Nice I try to avoid ladders these days

When I was in grammar school my parents bought a lot on a lake about hour from house. During the week Dad would precut the cottage based on a 4x8 design and weekends take pickup loaded to site and we would put together.

I’ve done walls both ways, but tend to sheath on the ground. When we built the cottage that seemed the logical method given that it was post and pier construction. Boy, Hardie panel sheathed walls are heavy and Sophie doesn’t let me forget. Fortunately we had 2 other helpers. The last ones I...

Exciting progress, Paul

Interesting for sure. My initial ODB II run indicated 5 codes, yet non were readable. Yesterday that changed to 7 with the 2 readable. Unfortunately, I don’t know if the EGR fail was present before. My first adventure with ODBII reader so basically exploring. I’m hoping the dealer tech can...

67°F and .01 inches rain Should be a good day for mowing Happy Hour at the county park was a success. Very good job on the renovations. ODB II gave me a ERG fail yesterday on my tractor yesterday Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

New video Some ODBII data Note EGR fail

66°F and .87 inches rain. Sun is peeking thru but forecast is passing showers. Dare I hope for some dryness? A nice good bye dinner with our friend Pedro. Who knows what the future may bring. Happy Hour this afternoon at recently refurbished and reopened county park. Prayers for all Be...

Cute video, Dennis

69°F and ,87 inches rain. On top of the inch we got yesterday not looking good for mowing. Just might be an energy conservation day. Meeting friend later for sort of an aloha dinner. He has put his house on the market and headed back to Florida. Longterm he plans to join his Mom and sister...

We also switched from Dish to Youtube TV, no regrets.

69°F and .66 inches rain Not looking too good for my plans to finish mowing. Two sections to go. Yea, the moon was a sight last night 🤙 Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Finished mowing the Laupahoehoe end of property. On my tractor issue. Thinking I need to put together a suitable YT video. Not really and video experience, but I know several you do YT videos. Any recommendations on editing? IMovie? Will be using my iphone, then edit on ipad. Thinking I’d like...

Kittywillow?

71°F and .31 inches rain. Got some decent mowing done with BX yesterday. Will continue today. Was planning excursion to town, but talked ourselves out of it. Brain scrambled how to get resolution on my LS. Could easily opt for energy conservation day. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Ahhhhh, family. Gotta just love them.

Phil, you’re quite the artist.

Drew, I’m sure you are a great uncle, in more ways than one. Here in Hawaii, Uncle and Aunty are often used as terms of respect younger people talking to older. Very common for both Sophie and I to be addressed thusly by complete strangers.

67°F and .6 inches rain. Still coughing so gonna not play H&F today. Hope it dries enough to mow some with the BX and hand mow the dogs’ area. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Near as I can tell, the LS has a single ECU with multiple sensors Sadly, can’t find a lot of info. My friend, John (pilot friend) recommended Perplexity as a nice AI query app. I was impressed. Then I clicked on the footnotes and found it was referencing my TBN posts.

Thanks, Dennis

No joy with my OBD2 code reader. Did a good job showing running info, but not reading any codes. Not should what this really means and choosing any provided no info. Proprietary? I did exercise it to the point of repetitive stalling which I suspect is temp related rather than wire rubbing on...

My concern as well Trying to get mine replaced under warranty. If I can’t then will have to seriously consider getting from Messicks, but I wish I knew answer to programming. It’s a 2 hr trip each direction to new dealer or $1000 for tech to come onsite. Neither attractive. Wonder if it can...

Thanks Ted Was expecting it was readily accessible, not behind behind panel requiring a screwdriver 🤪

Apparently the Electronic Control Module Which I had replaced only a short time ago. We found removing the 2 black leads from the coils solved the problem. Those leads go back to the ecm and possibly are part of shutdown function. We could see spark at plugs but guessing too weak. Now it runs...

Happy Birthday, Ron

Maybe making progress. Talked with dealer tech and he is working on a way to come to me vs hauling tractor back to dealership. Anyone know where OBD2 connector is located on my XR4140?

Any updates? My XR4140h ECU seems problematic.

67°F and .48 inches rain. Almost back to normal here. Still need to shake cough we brought back. Sophie’s worse than mine. Guessing a combination of all the ac and allergies. Getting resolution with LS still top of my list. Dealer never called back yesterday as promised so I will call them...

This looks more reasonable https://www.messicks.com/parts/new-holland/MT40284461

Most likely, but…

Actually, Jim did all the inside and driveway mowing. I was hoping for the LS and rotary for outside areas but guess the BX will get another go.

Enjoying the puppy pics.

Lots of chatter about temps and heat. A major item on our news tonight. And of course it’s “climate change”. Whatever that is. I’d like to see a bit more transparency, maybe honesty vs fear mongering in the reporting. For example, the reporting cited this as being the most prolonged high temp...

Kyle We are blessed to have friends like Jim & Kim to trust with our boys and place. Kinda gone non active on the granddaughter school situation while praying for best. Thanks to Jim, the Scag and Craftsman mowers rejoin the mowing fleet along side the BX. My LS awaits action from dealer/LS as...

67°F and .4 inches rain. Friends leave for home to Wisconsin this morning, been a great visit. Jim and I revisited my LS, convinced ECU is bad. Not to get LS to replace. Apparently brought back more than allergies, cough is persistent Still getting caught up here on GM. You guys sure have...

Agree

Believe me that still could happen. There is a protocol for me to be a third party payer. If that doesn’t get done, no money moves as I’ve made it clear I only pay school directly. Yes I would help her navigate the issues here, but not there.

67°F and .23 inches rain. Last full day with our friends. Need to make PO run. Pick up new glasses at Wallyworld. Happy Hour this afternoon. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

Happy Fathers Day 69°F and .46 inches rain Great to be home. Just need to catch up with everything both here at home and TBN. As expected our sitters did a bang up job. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day.

Sadly no. Apparently the only person in the world against this is her Mother who wants her to stay home. Not a very healthy relationship in my mind. We will fund her tuition and books as long as she maintains a 2.5 GPA which may be a stretch, she finished HS with a 2.8. Still many unknowns about...

70°F and 0 rain Greetings from Prescott, AZ. Visiting my old friend Wylee. I know I’ve mentioned him many times in much earlier posts when they lived in Hawaii. Suspect we won’t get many more in person visits as he doesn’t fly any more and I don’t have any more trips planned to mainland in...

67°F and 1.25 inches rain Headed for airport in a couple hours to begin our sojourn to the mainland. Granddaughter graduates HS on Tuesday. Longest flight is today starting here in Hilo finishing tomorrow at Washington Dulles. Prayers for all Be safe Have a great day

I’ll look for it. I’m thinking that may be my case as well.
