72F with bright sunshine @ 10:00, heading up to around 79F for the day's high. Storms came through last night, mostly to the south of us but it did rain here (nothing severe though) and I could hear the thunder rumbling in the distance. LWS reports that we got a total 0.79" which amounts to a...

73F with very bright sunshine @ 11:30 (at least for the moment), heading up to around 79F for the day's high temp. Severe weather expected to move in tonight. Looks like Rich will probably get more of it than we do. Got hopper feeder refilled first thing yesterday, plus some scattered for the...

66F and mostly cloudy @ 11:45, calling for a high temp of 69F for the day. Sun trying to peek out occasionally however. Considerable improvement in the Ten Day forecast with lowered chances of rain, today only around 30%. Woman was a little under the weather yesterday and didn't do much of...

71 and cloudy @ 12:15, heading up to around 73F for the day's high. Sun was trying to peek through just a bit ago. WU says thunderstorms likely today, some with strong gusty winds. Looks like most of the rain has moved east though. Not much motivation yesterday so mostly a "conserve energy" day...

She had it opened up and unpacked and was going through the manual before I could even get into the living room to watch … [emoji23]

70 and cloudy @ 13:00, calling for a high of 72F for the day. Remaining overcast with occasional showers throughout the day. Ten Day on WB currently showing rain for all Ten Days ... :oops: Forecast on WU looks much better ... (y) So much for those April showers ... Got remesh panels removed...

70 Being carried away by The Buzzard not necessarily a bad thing ... although a lot has changed from the early days ... ;) How did the Buzzard become the mascot of WMMS radio in Cleveland?

77F and mostly cloudy @ 11:30, calling for a high of 79F for the day ... which apparently we've already hit. Showers and thunderstorms lurking in the area but no rain here yet. LWS reports the high here yesterday was 90.7F ... [emoji15] Decent progress made yesterday. Woman worked on weeding...

71F with bright sunshine @ 10:45, calling for a high of 82F for the day. LWS reports yesterday's high temp was 84.7F, we were outside most of the day so managed to avoid turning on the AC in the house. Woman complained last night though after She got home from neighbor lady friend's about it...

WU says mostly cloudy and 74F @ 12:30 ... but I'm seeing lots of sunshine out the window. Calling for a high of around 80F today. Seedlings watered that needed it yesterday, plus some got fed. Peppers coming along: Set out broccoli and cabbage in the shade to start hardening them off a...

62F, wet, and cloudy @ 10:30, calling for a high of around 71F for the day. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. LWS reports we got 0.06" of precip since midnight. We are still 0.62" to the good YTD. Beat The Woman getting up this morning so I made the coffee, She says "You better have...

80F and "Fair" @ 12:15, calling for a high of 81F ... which I suspect we'll easily beat. Rain due in later tonight, then back to more seasonal temps but still above average. Birthday party was good, probably about 20 people there. After we got back home, I grabbed the last rebate check we got...

LOL … Nothing to post, it didn’t happen. She should know better by now. Slow learner I guess … [emoji23]

74F and partly cloudy @ 11:30, heading up to around 80F for the day's high with a slight chance of a rain shower. Managed to avoid running over this little fella when I was mowing the front yesterday: Woman worked on cleaning out the bed where these giant blue green hosta were, claims they...

Finished mowing front just as it was starting to spit rain. Didn’t amount to much, just enough to wet the pavement and settle the dust. Doesn’t look like we’ll get much more. Checked Nest Box No. 2 on the way back down to the house. Five Bluebird eggs … [emoji106] Nest Boxes 1 and 3 look like...

No ... pick up only. But a free redbud seedling is included with every order of 12 or more plants. ;)

71F and partly cloudy @ 11:30, heading up to around 76F for the day's high. Slight chance of a shower this afternoon. Rained a little earlier, LWS reports 0.04". Started off yesterday by bringing all the tomato plants outside. Then took the Cub up and sprayed the screened compost pile, plus...

59F with bright sunshine @ 11:15, heading up to a high of around 72F for the day. Woman just left for a little shopping outing with a relative. Made decent progress yesterday. Got all the tomato plants moved outside yesterday. They seemed to do well, possibly because there was some high thin...

Nothing. Apparently they are less attracted to cedar and there is no shortage of other, more preferable types of wood around here. I will use the HF weed burner torch to char the below ground portions of the posts ... but I'm guessing it's unlikely there would be any significant damage from...

46F and "Fair" @ 11:00, heading up to around 56F for the day's high. LWS reports the low here this morning was 31.6F. Did not make as much progress yesterday as I had hoped ... :( Watered all the veggies that needed it though. And I did get the tomato seedlings repotted - 15 Sunny Boys...

43F, cloudy, and misting @ 13:15, calling for a high of 45F today. A Freeze Watch has been issued for overnight. Fairly productive day yesterday ... but way too windy to do any spraying. Got remesh panels removed from van with The Woman's assistance and put over on the tall saw horses for...

60F and sunny @ 11:00, heading up to around 65F for the day's high. Overnight low was 40F. Occasional showers this afternoon gives way to a more steady rain into the night. We're several inches to the good on rainfall year-to-day ... (y) Coffee made and tasting mighty good if I do say so...

43F and sunny @ 09:00, calling for a high of 62F. Low this morning was 30.9F, could see frost on the car when I got up but none on the grass. All gone now. Was up in the shop until around 21:00 last night. Got the last piece of the old subfloor cut up so it would fit in the stove. Was 53F...

45F and cloudy @ 15:45, calling for a high of around 50F for the day. LWS reports that the low here this morning was 36.5F ... so likely no frost ... (y) But Frost Advisory issued again for tonight. After reviewing the Utah State University document on frost/freeze damage for fruit trees we...

There shouldn’t be - the mower lift runs off the 3PT linkage I believe [emoji106]

Alvin Bragg isn’t the New York Attorney General … he’s the District Attorney of New York County … which essentially shares its geographic boundaries with the island of Manhattan in NYC. Bragg was formerly a Deputy AG in the New York (State) Attorney General’s office. The estimated population...

53F with a little sun amongst the clouds @ 15:00, which is higher than the 49F high they were calling for. The low tonight is supposed to be 35F and the weather guessers are talking about the possibility of frost. Woman is talking about needing to cover the peach tree ... :rolleyes: Probably...

53F and clear @ 20:30, heading down to around 44F for the overnight low. Sun came out so I got a little more work done on skinning that cedar log before I headed down to Menards: Widest diameter dimension at the base is around 13", so I'll need to trim it down quite a bit to get it to fit...

LOL ... good one ... (y) I'll be sure to share it with The Woman. She is probably going to want to have a word ... :LOL:

59F and cloudy @ 10:45, calling for a high of around 63F for the day. My eyelids were so heavy last night, I couldn't hold them open past 22:00 ... Slept good though ... (y) Coffee tasting very good ... even though it's just the last of yesterday's warmed up ... ;) Got 36 cells planted with...

Based on our experience when we last went a couple of years ago I’m not at all surprised they would have some restaurants closing.

Concur ... at least on the blades ... (y) (Haven't used their sanding discs) Sounds like you have your work cut out for you ... ;) Thanks. We no doubt have a very nice crop ... of dandelions ... :LOL:

I assume you are referring to the "greenhouse" I just posted a picture of ? That's not going outside - it will go in the dining room, in front of the sliding glass door (which is almost never opened, unless I need to get out on the deck) I'll use it mainly to protect seedlings once they have...

56F and "Fair" @ 03:15, heading up to a high of around 69F for the day. Which is a little warmer than I thought it was going to be. We got missed by the really violent weather, although it appears there were destructive storms and/or tornados to the west, north, and south of us. Woman broiled...

(y) If even half of what I've planted survives I'll have way more than what I have use for. Probably end up giving some away to friends and relatives. And still have seeds left. Now to order that peppermint extract to the critters off of them ...

75F and mostly cloudy @ 16:45, and there is an Active Tornado Watch. Huge line of storms to the west, Channel 3 Weather Babe is on and sounds pretty excited. Maybe an actual tornado on the ground a couple of counties over, sounds like it might be headed our way. Extreme rainfall - a near 3" per...

72F and cloudy @ 10:00, which is supposed to be the day's high. Cold front headed in later, with it's approach comes thunderstorms, some possibly severe. Woman is over feeding Her neighbor lady friend's cat while she is away on vacation. Got hopper and tube feeders refilled yesterday, also...

62F with bright sunshine @ 09:30, today's high temp revised upward again - now calling for a very pleasant 76F as the high ... (y) Got up about 2 hours ago after a very restful sleep ... went to bed around 22:00, slept like a log. Likely due to the fact that my "yesterday" went on for 28+...

(y) Yup. This one YouTube channel we found that The Woman liked was this farm girl in Western Ohio in roughly the same Zone as we are: Zone 6a/b. Was minimally aware of hoops and covers prior to that, but got a real education watching her as far as the amount of frost/freeze protection...

54F and damp @ 06:00, calling for a high of around 69F today. Got Menards order placed last evening. Line of severe storms parted and missed us. Did get a little more rain though. More YouTubing with The Woman last night, this time the subject was raised beds with Her confiding that She’s...

80F and starting to cloud up @ 18:30, Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued a bit ago for Summit County. And Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued just to the east. LWS reports that the high temp today reached 81.9F ... :oops: Also reports that we've had 0.31" of rain so far since midnight. Heading...

53F and windy with bright sunshine @ 12:30, heading up to around 58F for the days high. Ten Day now showing only 3 days with a significant chance of rain, 4 days with lows in the mid to upper 30's though ... :( Got some cauliflower seeds replanted yesterday to replace the seedlings that...

48F, rain, with the winds howling @ 15:15, calling for a high of 50F for the day. We may have already hit that. Another 1.43" of precip since midnight ... :rolleyes: 3 days with lows in the high 30's now in the Ten Day forecast, but only showing rain on 5 of the 10 ... (y) Was hoping that...

The sneezing has started here. Thanks ! Hopefully you guys will have a bumper crop this year. (y) Keep those seals wet and the pivot joints clean ... ;)

Yeah ... I just saw the radar returns for down there on the evening news ... looked nasty. Hope it turns out well for him ... (y)

60F, very wet, with light rain @ 16:00, heading down to around 45F for the low overnight. Rainfall total since midnight: 2.08" ... :oops: That's in addition to the 0.68" we got yesterday ... and the 0.19" the day before. A Flood Watch has been issued. Will be a long time before any mowing...

Incorrect. Also from the EPA: https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle

53F with a steady light rain @ 13:30, calling for a high of 63F. LWS shows about 0.50" of accumulation so far. Ten Day now shows precip on 9 out of 10 days ... probably good for those May flowers but it ain't so great for getting much done outside ... Probably would have been great for...

68F and "Fair" @ 11:15, day's high temp now revised to 75F from 72F ... (y) Number of days in the Ten Day forecast with highs in the 70's now up to 5 ... with no days with low's below 40F ... (y) Got some more mowing done out front - lower part was still way too wet. Will probably hold off...

Taken with my iPhone 11 at totality with no filter: The corona was still so bright it was largely overwhelming the camera and obscured the darkened disc. I might have another pic coming later from another guy that was there which is fairly impressive - is a closeup and shows a solar flare...

Totality here in Portage Lakes.

59F and partly cloudy 11:00, heading up to around 72F for the day's high. Bright sunshine at the moment ... (y) Retrieved Cub and dump cart from the barn yesterday and then took sprayer around back to the garden and got the east side mostly all sprayed except for a little section on the very...

Yes ! Limited space in the one in the kitchen. We do have a large Kenmore chest freezer ... but I need to see if it can be repaired (apparently has a refrigerant leak) ... probably won't get to that until sometime this summer. Yeah ... if we get a large crop whatever we put up (tomatoes...

49F with beautiful, bright sunshine @ 10:45, heading to around 59F for the day's high. Got hopper feeder refilled yesterday, also some scattered for the ground feeders. Tube feeders were around 1/2 full, probably will need refilled by the end of the day today. Seeing some red-winged blackbirds...

53F and mostly cloudy @ 14:45, that's above the 51F that WU was calling for. Two days with 70F+ highs showing in the Ten Day, one of them sunny ... (y) Got Amazon order placed yesterday, all items currently out on the truck for delivery today. Ran out to Home Depot yesterday afternoon for...

37F and cloudy @ 13:00, calling for a high of around only 41F today. Sun did come out yesterday and I made it around back yesterday to put some Irish Spring on the day lilies. Looks like they were initially nipped off down to the ground and apparently left alone after that, about 3" - 4" of new...

Mike, Glad to hear daughter made it through the storm safely. Hope she has smooth sailing the rest of the way ... (y)

43F with light rain/shower @ 12:45, calling for a high of 45F for the day. Sun peeking out occasionally. Got hopper, two tube, and one suet feeder refilled yesterday. Also scattered some food for the ground feeders and put out an additional nyjer feeder for the finches. Took some drill bits I...

50F and mostly cloudy @ 17:00, sun occasionally peeking through. Heading down to around 34F overnight as cold front moves in. Another 1.6"+ of rain in the last 24, some thunderstorms last night but mostly stayed south of us. Got table in bedroom cleared off yesterday and moved into the living...

Glad to hear he wasn't seriously injured. Hope he makes a quick recovery.

They're calling for 2 minutes 28 seconds for my zip code. We'll be over at an eclipse party at a friend's which is a little further north so it may be slightly longer ... assuming there are no clouds ... :giggle:

62F, wet, and cloudy @ 16:30, heading down to around a low of 47F in the overnight. A River Flood Warning has been issued for the Cuyahoga at Jaite, minor flooding expected. LWS reports 5"+ precip within the last 24 - 36 hours ... :oops: Got all bills scheduled for payment yesterday, still...

55F and overcast @ 15:15, calling for a high of 57F for the day. Calling for a high of 66F tomorrow ... but it's supposed to rain ... :( Got those 2 elephant ear bulbs planted last night. Also planted a tray of 72 pepper seeds, 12 each of: Habanero Jalapeno Early Hot Lemon Orange Pepperocini...

Trip to Menards Depot and Home Depot completed successfully ... (y) Peeled and cored 6 Granny Smith apples and helped the Woman with food prep before I headed out. And was rewarded with 6 homemade Apple Dumplings when I got back ... :love: : ... which SOMEONE had been sampling during my...

My usual comment when I can't find one of my tools/equipment/items is: "... SOMEBODY ... must have TOUCHED it ..." Happens fairly frequently around here. ;)

46F and mostly cloudy @ 13:00, heading up to around 55F for the day's high. Managed to scrape up enough seed starting medium the other day to do another tray of seeds. Was slim pickings on the pepper seeds so ended up doing cauliflower instead: 36 white "Snoball" 24 purple "Violeta Italia"...

34F and partly cloudy @ 03:00, heading down to around 33F for the low overnight. Possibility of a little wintery mix around sunrise, then rain throughout the day. Just fired up the torpedo heater out in the garage, was 50F out there. Need to go make a pot of coffee. Marathon session out in...

45F, damp, and partly cloudy @ 11:15, heading up to around 48F for the high. Woman picked up a nice-looking cluster of tomatoes at the grocery the other day, made BLT's yesterday afternoon. I had a couple of those and after that decided to have a little nap ... ;) Got up around 22:00 and got...

42F with fairly heavy rain @ 06:45, heading up to around 52F for the day's high. Accumulation 0.78" so far and it's predicted to continue throughout the day. That's a good thing ... as precipitation has been around 1.30" below normal for the year, due to the lack of snow over winter. Up early...

30F and cloudy with snow flurries @ 20:00, heading down to around 21F for the overnight low. Was sunny earlier when I got up. Spent around 10 - 12 hours out in the garage yesterday with good cleanup/organizing progress made. Got outside this afternoon and refilled the hopper and both tube...

Extremely dangerous ... especially if it is completely upright ... and you are under it cutting on it. No telling when a rotted portion up high could come off and bean ya in the noggin' ... I walked around to the south side while I was out filling the feeders this afternoon ... looks like it's...

Yeah I’m sure it is … any leakage at the plate and the vac head would reduce suction.

Edit: never mind then … lol

Why not just create a plate (plywood?) with a hole in it for the shop vac that could sit on top of the tow-behind and 3-point spreaders and suck the fertilizer directly into the spreaders from the tote(s) with the shop vac ?

44.8F and mostly cloudy @ 14:00, heading up to around 46F for the high. Low this morning was 22.8F ... :oops: Some warming improvement in the Ten Day - now calling for a high of 63F this coming Monday. Heard a big crack/snap on the west side of the house the other day when the winds were...

For the OP: Just curious what model Kubota this is for ? Reason I ask is I just looked up pricing for the tie rod ends for my tractor (B2910) at my local dealer. $62.03 (each) Edit: Never mind … I figured it out.

No - what it shows is that they are closing an older, smaller plant - which is inefficient - in a place where they apparently don’t need the additional capacity of that particular plant at this time … as was outlined in the Des Moines Register article that I linked in the previous post. The...

No … why ? It’s plastered all over the stories I quoted and linked. Nothing wrong with hiring immigrants … assuming they are legally here and thus qualified to hold a job. FWIW: the bigger picture in the meatpacking industry: As Tyson Foods closes Perry plant, are other Iowa facilities...

The story (on Bloomberg) is no doubt “real” … the relevant question though is whether it’s accurate. Certainly possible. Also possible their reporting wasn’t accurate.

Yeah … and if you click to what that story claims was the “original article source” (which it actually isn’t - the “original source” appears to be Bloomberg) you get this: Tyson Foods hoping to hire thousands of migrants for labor-manufacturing jobs: report … which references the story from...

That was fake news: Scripps News retraction regarding Tyson Foods

30F with light, fine snow @ 18:00, heading down to around 24F overnight. Chance of snow 70% mainly before midnight, accumulation of less than 1". Nothing 50F or above in the Ten Day until next Monday ... :( Got the hopper feeder and both tube feeders refilled the other day when it was halfway...

44F and cloudy @ 15:00, temps falling after a high of 48F earlier. Heading down to around 34F for the low overnight. Total rainfall in the past 24 hours was 2.27" ... which probably goes a good ways towards making up for the lack of snow this winter. Got some clean up done out in the garage...

Tornado Warning for Wayne County has been allowed to expire, not extended to Summit County … [emoji106]

We’re right about where the State Route 93 marker is in the graphic:

Currently under a Tornado Watch. Tornado Warning was issued about 3 counties west of us, storm has tracked through 2 counties so far, is about 1 county away which is now under Tornado Warning. Appears to be headed directly towards us. Will probably be heading to the basement in the next 20...

Currently 60F, wet, and mostly cloudy @ 13:00, some thunderstorms rolled through a bit ago. Another line of them from up around Ron's place trailing down through Indiana headed this way. LWS shows 0.55" of precip since midnight. Calling for a high of around 68F today. Got weeds in swale in...

Was 67F and sunny yesterday @ 14:30 when I started this post, made it to 68.2F for the high for the day. Currently 65F and sunny and looking to be another beautiful day ... (y) Woman gave me a haircut day before yesterday after my shower, haircut was way overdue. Also dragged the razor...

Correct.

Yup - Woman checked them a while back, said they were looking good under the mulch. She was wondering when to pull the mulch off. I figure another month (last frost is around 4/30) ... if it even needs to be done at all. Might just leave it down and let them poke up through the straw...

39F with very bright sunshine @ 11:45, heading up to around 52F for the day's high. Didn't get a whole lot done yesterday ... other than conserving energy ... ;) Did get the indoor plants watered and some trimming of the banana tree done. Woman said I should fertilize it so I ventured out...

33F with light snow @ 14:30, might head up another degree or two. High today was 36F, probably at midnight. Was snowing hard this morning when I got up to chase the cat out of the bedroom, ground was completely covered. Most of that has melted off at this point though. Productive evening...

Didn’t see any mention of where the front axle is leaking FROM … Given your pics above, is it from the axle center pivots ? (Rather than from the bevel gear case pivots on each wheel) If so I can tell you there is a replaceable bushing in at least the front pivot. I replaced that bushing in...

Currently 42F and cloudy @ 17:45, heading down to around 30F for the overnight low. Winter Weather Advisory issued. Calling for a few snow showers after midnight (30%), with more on tap for tomorrow. Called mower shop and spoke to service writer yesterday to make sure we were on the same page...

62F and sunny @ 12:30, calling for a high of 64F today with periods of light rain then down to low 51F with more rain overnight. Big dip in temps Saturday night going into Sunday, low temps back down in the 20's/30's with some snow for a day or so and then back up to 50's and 60's for highs...

Yup. I saw the shop owner's call (as the final authority) to pull engine more as an effort to make sure it was done right than anything else. Reminds me of the tales of having to do similar on 429 CJ to get at one of the sparkplugs to change it out. Several of the glow plugs on the van are...

Possibly a very good point … [emoji106] Dunno if there’s anything that would prevent it from rotating but I’ll definitely check it out.

None by Kohler that I’ve seen. If one were available it would most likely come from Cub since the problem is specific to their unit … although it may not be limited to only their models. Did tell the service writer that in terms of getting a Torx bit in there I’d probably be inclined to pick...

That’s not the correct manual for the model engine I have (Kohler Confidant EZT750) Try this one: https://resources.kohler.com/power/kohler/enginesUS/pdf/16_590_06_EN.pdf Valve lash and spark plugs both listed @ 500 hours.

46F and cloudy @ 17:45, heading down to 42F for the overnight low. Just got back from Menards and the mower shop. Stopped by the mower shop first and talked to the service writer. A fairly disappointing experience. After clearing up who I was (he didn't seem real clear on it ... despite...

That's tough stuff. Sincerest condolences on your loss.

Yes ... assuming that they are actually having "a kid" adjust it. But looking at a staff photo of the shop it doesn't seem likely. FWIW, I've had a look at several YouTubes that show the back of the machine and it seems like the valve covers should be easy to get to. The valve covers are each...

Just a bit ... I've been searching online a little and so far no one mentioning it as an issue. Hard to imagine that folks wouldn't be complaining about the additional hundreds of $$$ in cost to do what should be a simple check and adjustment of the valves. That's even less reassuring ...

43F, wet, and cloudy @ 18:00, heading down to around 38F overnight. Around 0.40" of rain since midnight. Decided to run down to Menards and pick up orders yesterday before it got dark. Woman went along and we hit Save A Lot on the way back, primarily for Half and Half. Back home around 18:00...

They are very lightly built. Having said that, the pivots on mine are still holding up (as far as I know) after hauling a lot of wet clay and an obscene amount of wet sheep manure from my neighbors. Biggest thing I noticed was that the rails on the bed would flex pretty bad when it was raised...

Was 57F and clear yesterday @ 21:00, heading down to 51F overnight. Very beautiful here, high hit 72F. Day before yesterday got the hopper and 1 suet feeder refilled, plus cracked corn, peanuts, and cheap bird seed scattered for the ground feeders. Some more clean up and organizing done in the...

Doubt the lift system is factory unless it was custom. I have one of those CM dump carts with a 4 x 24 hydraulic cylinder on it which I put on. Trailer came set up for it. Runs off of the tractor hydraulics/rear remotes.

57F and partly cloudy, calling for a high of 62F for the day. Sun finally peeked out after being overcast this morning. Woman off with neighbor to visit a former neighbor who moved back into the city after her husband passed. She's been undergoing treatment for cancer and had a pretty rough...

Thanks ! It was ... Indeed. I've been tempted over the last couple of years to pick up another scooter myself but have thought the better of it ... :( Still no harm looking ... right ? ;) Hope cats had a good feast ... (y)

Nice ... (y) Thanks, a little forward movement. I went shaft drive on the next one after the LTD - a '78 or '79 XS 750 Special triple - very similar to the one below (sans luggage rack, backrest, and fairing): Was the 2nd bike I bought new from a dealer (the 1st being a 1972 Kawasaki F7...

49F and cloudy @ 15:00, which is the high predicted for the day. Got hopper and 2 tube feeders refilled yesterday, plus scattered cracked corn, cheap bird seed, peanuts for the ground feeders. Also took about 2 gallon of whole corn up and stuck it in the deer feeder. Collected mail while I was...

Had one of these back in the day: That one isn't mine but looks to be very similar. 130mph+ on I-77 northbound just south of Akron. No fairing obviously, was about all I could do to hold on. Later T-boned a car that turned in front of me ... went over the car's trunk and somehow managed to...

33F and partly cloudy @ 13:45, heading up to around 37F for the day's high. Low this morning was 19.8F. Precipitation total was 0.23" Lots of birds and some squirrels out at the feeders this morning. Probably will need to refill the hopper feeder, will also take some whole corn up and refill...

27F with wind and clouds with maybe a little snow @ 18:30, heading down to a low of 24F overnight. Storms came in last night with Special Weather Statement issued. Very windy, some thunder but not too much rain ... but we did get hammered with penny-sized hail pretty good. Internet was down a...

LOL ... no doubt. Hopefully warmer weather will provide some additional motivation. She knows better than to go there ... ;) In truth, both of us have become "late risers" ... by the time we have our coffee and wake up time not too much happens before noon. (y) And none too soon.

Was 67F and clouding up @ 15:30, 64F right now. Hit a high of 68.4F earlier when the sun was out. Was really nice earlier, winds starting to blow a little now. Got saw horses set up and wood storage shelf unloaded last night. More work done on washing the pre filter for the Cub air cleaner...

Wise idea … [emoji106] Or get him to recommend an attorney who specializes in estate/probate law if he doesn’t. All you can do is be fair to your siblings. How they take that is on them.

I’m very familiar with that. So, in other words, the rest of the estate (less the value of the real estate of the home) does not exceed the value of the home itself correct ? Without knowing more specifics it’s hard to say for sure, but it sounds to me like you made them a generous offer …...

Are you the executor of the estate ? What are the terms of the will as to how the assets of the estate are to be disposed of, in terms who gets what ?

59F and "Fair" @ 17:30, high today hit 62.1F ... :love: Heading down to around 48F for the low tonight. Amazon delivered the new USB wall warts and cords the other day so no lack of places to charge now. Refilled the hopper feeder, plus scattered some cracked corn, peanuts, and the cheap...

“AT&T said late Thursday that based on an initial review, the outage was “caused by the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network, not a cyber attack.” The company will continue to assess the outage.”...

45F, wet, and cloudy @ 17:00, heading down to around 37F for the overnight low. Cold front coming in, high/low temps on Sat will drip down to 31F/19F then a warming trend with highs on Mon/Tue/Wed around 60F or better. Got meds doled out and recyclables hauled up to the can at the road on...

48F and sunny @ 13:30, heading up to around 50F for the days high. Woo Hoo ! Woman had doctors appointment yesterday, came home with 3 referrals to specialists. Seems like maybe She's starting to take her health and aging a little more serious ... which is a welcome change ... (y) The guy up...

You and me both. No. Woman floated that idea but not really worth the T and E since that cabinet was really never used regularly or all that much. Planning on replacing all the kitchen cabinets. They are the original "builders cabinets", so quality wasn't all that high to begin with. After...

A chilly 26F and currently sunny @ 15:00, only calling for a high of 25F ... so we've beaten that already ... (y) Low this morning was 19.8F ... warmer temps can't get here soon enough. A couple inches of snow from yesterday to today, at least enough to cover the ground. After checking the...

32F and cloudy @ 16:00, heading down to around 23F overnight. The good news is that starting Monday high temps will recover into the 40's and then the 50's through Thursday ... (y) My work got side-checked by Little Miss Nosy the other day when I was cleaning out the interior of the new...

Woman fixed cauliflower with a curry cheese sauce + shrimp with cocktail sauce for dinner. Was very tasty. Maple cinnamon roll for dessert. After that I moved old ‘frig out of the way and got cabinet taken down without destroying it. Bunch of finishing nails were holding it up there. Then...

Fortunately our line is 1/4 copper … so not much chance of it wearing through. Banging into it with the ‘frig and breaking it off (since it is at floor level) is another matter however … [emoji6]

Yup … that will get done as part of the kitchen remodel and will include a recessed box in the wall to hold the plumbing line and valve … rather than just having the copper line come up through a hole that was drilled in the laminate floor … 🤬 In the meantime, the saddle valve - which was less...

44.4F, wet, and cloudy @ 15:00, calling for a high of 46F today ... not sure we'll make that. Woman dropped Her car off at the local repair shop yesterday then went grocery shopping at Wally World and a couple other places with the neighbor. Left front tire was thumping, appears that it may...

5 in the morning here (2 of them are 1/2 pills) And 2 1/2 at night ... but only because I have to take 2 of the one pill. :LOL: (y)

Good evening. Was 35F, cloudy, with some light, fine snow @ 16:00, supposedly heading down to around 26F for the low. No accumulation on the ground as of yet, but chances of snow are 70% overnight. Got old refrigerator and freezer mostly cleaned out and moved to new unit last night. Thankfully...

39F and "Fair" @ 17:45, calling for a high of 42F for the day ... think it only made 41F ... :( Woman went to the grocery store earlier. Spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening cleaning the interior, shelves, drawers, etc. of the new 'frig, Woman helped some. Once that was all done I...

Great minds ? [emoji6] OTOH, visual design is all about the interplay of contrasts … [emoji6] LOL … sheet vinyl or linoleum remains an option. It was in there before the laminate and with no (or few) seams it’s pretty much spill proof … short of a complete flood. The only real issue we...

Thanks ! Hardwood flooring is something we are strongly considering, also looking at Strand-woven Bamboo as well (being a slightly cheaper but very durable option ?) Need to do a close inspection, but I think the existing laminate in the eating area is in much better shape than the...

Thanks for the report on that ... (y) Think that is the route I'd prefer to go but will have to see. It's only on when someone is out there ... so it doesn't get all that much use ... especially when compared to the kitchen lights ... which are probably on 12+ hours per day. Sorry about...

39F and mostly cloudy @ 14:00 with the occasional peeks of Sun. Calling for a high of 43F for the day. Yesterday ended up being a mostly "energy conservation" day. Although The Woman was very busy edu-ma-cating Herself on the new dishwasher and had "questions". Lots of questions ...

57F and cloudy with a slight chance of a shower @ 15:00, which is the high predicted for the day. Sun peeking through occasionally. Temps headed down overnight, with more normal temps on tap for the rest of the Ten Day. Delivery guy arrived yesterday around 13:00 with the new refrigerator. Had...

Good afternoon. 57F and partly cloudy @ 12:00, calling for a high of 61F. Got the old microwave and dishwasher loaded onto the van yesterday then moved van out of the turnaround/vehicle pathway. Determined circuit breaker no. 20 (unmarked) in the original load center feeds the power for both...

50F and sunny @ 15:00, calling for a high of 52F for the day. Got hopper feeder refilled yesterday, it was empty. Also scattered cracked corn, peanuts, and split peas for the ground feeders. After that I enlarged the holes in the sink cabinet with the oscillating multi-tool, making two holes...

Good Afternoon. 41F and "Fair" @ 14:00, calling for a high of 45F for the day. Low this morning was 25.2F. Warm temps (50's) through Friday then rain on Saturday as a cold front comes through and temps drop to more normal for this time of year. Got WonderBoard cut last night using the...

Good afternoon. 39F and sunny @ 17:00, high today was 43.2F ... a little chilly out there with the breeze. Got a bunch of cardboard and burnables hauled up to the shop yesterday along with the tub support and the backing plate for the softener. Took six trips to haul it all into the shop from...

48F and sunny @ 14:00, heading up to around 50F for the day's high. Ran over to HD first thing yesterday to pick up supply line kit for the new dishwasher. They had a good deal on it, included the right-angle fitting that was needed at the dishwasher plus an 8' braided stainless steel supply...

I think my fabric was 6’ or 8’ wide x 300’+ long. I picked up a hand-held, trigger-operated “hot knife” from either Menards or Amazon to cut it to length. Tool Shop[emoji768] 150 Watt Heavy-Duty Hot Knife at Menards Tool Shop® 150 Watt Heavy-Duty Hot Knife Was less than $20 IIRC at the time...

BTW - Buckeye Chuck confirms his cousin Phil’s prediction of an early Spring … [emoji106]

Was 38F and overcast @ 14:30, was only calling for a high of 37F so we've beaten that. Big stretch of nice weather starting tomorrow, no rain with highs in the 40's and 50's Was fairly nice yesterday: sunny with a high of 50.4F ... :love: Got old Missy cat laid to rest yesterday up in the...

35F with rain @ 16:00, high was 42.1F at some point earlier. Headed down to around 32F overnight. Rainfall since 20:00 yesterday = 1.47" Thanks for the condolences on the cat, will be much harder for The Woman ... the two of them are kind of attached the same way me and Mister were. Got back...

43F, damp, and cloudy @ 17:00, high was 44.8F. Heading down to around 42F overnight. Did not get bird feeders refilled yesterday or today ... :( Did manage to get old dishwasher removed from under the counter last night. Was a bit of a PITA as it was sitting on the subfloor and I had to...

45F and cloudy @ 14:30, the high was 47F earlier. I did see the Sun peeking through for a moment though, a little bit ago. Thanks for all the condolences and birthday wishes. Got sticker for the van put on and then made the trip down to the appliance store and picked up the new washer...

Bup, I have no complaints with the two washers we now have here. A circa 1990 KitchenAid and the Whirlpool bought in 2006. In fact, they are largely similar - both direct-drive units made by Whirlpool - sharing a lot of parts in common (same part numbers) The KitchenAid was replaced in 2006...

Watch a fairly lengthy video a couple of months ago where an appliance guy/tech/business owner commented on what to buy and what to avoid, based on functionality, reliablability, ease of repair, etc. Some of the other brands had some decent models but also had ones to definitely avoid. Seemed...

53F, very moist with fog @ 10:30, was only calling for a high of 51F for the day ... so we've bested that. Dense fog advisory has been extended. Woman lost her next older brother a week ago this past Monday after a long decline. Pulmonary fibrosis got him, just like her oldest brother. Runs in...

Nothing too exciting ... mostly a lot of clean up of the mess ... :rolleyes: Long ways to go. Organizing the old cardboard which I use for firing up the double barrel stove and have a lot of. Did get some work done with the needle scaler on the adjustable-height roller stand that I got for...

Magnesium is supposed to last longer than AL … is (typically) more expensive though. 15F and mostly clear @ 20:00, windchill is 5F. But a toasty 78F up here in the shop … [emoji41]

You bet ! [emoji16]

Drivetrain on the B2910 and B3030 are very similar (despite the difference of the layout of the exploded parts diagram) - with the exception that the carrier bearing appears to be integrated into the bell housing on B3030: Versus the B2910 which utilizes a separate external carrier bearing...

There is a splined coupler on the B2910 - it’s further forward on the front drive shaft which has no u-joints IIRC. Might be it on the end of the front shaft sticking out of the axle in the 2nd pic above. Possible that it might allow removal of the rear driveshaft that goes goes to the front...

Here's some pics: Last pic shows the location of the hole that has be drilled in the "tunnel" to access the roll pin holding the old yoke on so that it can be removed and replaced. No guarantees that the locations of the hydraulic hard lines are the same on a B3030 though. Maybe compare...

Yes I probably would. I called the dealer to get a price on the splitting the tractor before I attempted it. Service manager ballparked it off the top of his head @ $5K to pop it apart and put it back together IIRC. I fixed it for a couple hundred. Yeah, no ... I think splitting it would be...

This is correct - the driveline still turns whether or not it is driven from the transmission. The engagement/disengagement (of the driveline) occurs back in the transmission/transfer case/whatever it is.

B2910 here, believe the drivelines are substantially similar. Blew the rearmost u-joint on the drive line going to the front axle @ around 2400 -2500 hours while dropping it into 4WD pushing the loader into a manure pile. Managed to destroy the yoke halves as well. Kubota calls for splitting...

Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery!

Picked up an expedite load once from a machine shop in Erlanger, KY destined for Pratt & Whitney in Montreal. Bunch of small, lightweight boxes less than 18” tall covering about 65% of the floor in the cargo area of my Sprinter (50” x 108”) Nothing double stacked. The declared value for...

31F and cloudy @ 19:00, which should be the low overnight. The day's high was 37.9F. Was hungry yesterday after I got up, so asked for some pancakes. Woman fixed 6 + bacon. Very tasty ... but big mistake ... I went comatose and went back to bed for 5 - 6 hours ... :oops: It was around 19:00...

Indeed. As of 2022 anyways, many of the bans (across the nation) appear to involve books in which minorities or people of color serve as primary or secondary characters: Pa. school district leads nation with most banned books: report Imagine that ... :oops: Takes effect in 30 days. Would...
