Mom always liked Rick best, Kyle.:laughing:

She wasn't supposed to tell you? She (RIP) understand my signature.

"Working Smarter Instead of Harder .. With Technology and Horsepower!"

She did love my 67 Corvette and probably put more of its 25k miles than me. I was busy in SE Asia .. at the time. She was 40 when I bought it. I took delivery of it in October 66 and left for San Antonio February 67. Oops!

According to radar it started raining just after I got in from mowing at 830.
Interesting radar in PA.

Nice shop BEF

Two ladies from Buena Vista last heard from last Saturday found in car submerged in SML. Sad very sad

Don our son plays golf at a coarse called Ballyhack in Roanoke Va 18 holes and walks with his bag lots of steps

Same here!

Even had a hat to go with my pair.

Now I have an orange and gray pair I got as a freebie from HF, and they've been surprisingly durable. But the fit is lousy and they're pretty uncomfortable. The price was right, though!:laughing:

If your "Engineer's" cap was an OshKosh .. you had a real one!

When I was going to night school at University of Houston, after USAF, an English literature professor (twit) asked us on first night of class, who would be eventually going to the School of Engineering. Several of us raised our hands. He (the twit) proceeded to advise us that we would have to do 'A' work to get a "C" from him. Ok? No problem. I managed to find 7 OshKosh (By Gosh) Engineer's caps, before the next class for me and my fellow "engineers to be" (4 gentlemen / 3 ladies ... all X- military). The other 30+ in our class were .. still in diapers.

The seven of us wore those caps, for every class we had to endure with this twit .. and .. we all got A's and B's. . We .. rose to the challenge. Our younger classmates .. could not.

Went out after grilling burgers and hotdogs for supper, and planted part of garden. Planted Corn, potatoes and pole beans. I re tilled the potato area.

Was getting dark, but mowed front yard after.

BEF, there is a tiny person hanging onto the back of your tractor seat. Be careful.

Nope. I sold it to a high school classmate, who bugged me to sell it to him for years, for almost 15 times what I paid for it. I sold it right before the 2009 economy down turn. It was an L-71.

I understand he took it to Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, last year, and made $$ on it.

Those 435 horse cars were beasts. I had two friends that put L-88 crate motors in a ‘66 and a ‘67 Chevelle. By the time I could afford those cars, I was into offshore performance boats.

Ended up being a beautiful day here ... almost hit 70F for a high (68F) with a good amount of sun ...

Got FEL greased, topped up hydraulic fluid, and tightened up one of the flush face QD’s on the cross member which had a drip. Looks like that slowed it down but probably going to have to give another 1/2 turn or so.

Have made it about 1/2 way through working the grass clippings into the compost pile. Still have probably 3/4 of the compost pile left to turn though.

Got some inside work done as well.

Collected the 4th birdhouse earlier, got 3 of them scrubbed and cleaned with bleach ... might go back down and finish up the 4th one after SNL.

Rain has already started, likely to continue through 18:00.
