Came in about an hour ago ...
Started out the day finding out there was, in fact, no oil filter for the Kubota in inventory ...

Will pick up one from NAPA tomorrow I guess.
Followed that with a quick trip down to the local Bellstores for a gallon of non-ethanol gas for Stihl blower and pole pruner -$2.99 ... which was a lot less than I paid for it the last time.
Fired up the van and pulled it in front of the garage and let it warm up while I had a couple of BLT's. After I was done eating I shut the van off and stuck a big piece of cardboard and an oil drain pan underneath and opened up the Fumoto drain valve and got the oil to a-drainin' ...
Then fueled up the blower and grabbed the rake and started to head up to work on the road. About 40' into that journey I thought "Why not grab some cardboard and see if that burn pile will light up ?" ... since we've managed to go at least 48 hours without any rain ...
So I turned around and headed back to the garage and grabbed a few old cardboard boxes and headed up to the BP. As luck would have it, it caught fairly easily and it wasn't long before we had a good fire going. After that I opened up the shop to let it air out a bit.
Then we worked on the the sloping part of the driveway. Got all the leaves cleaned out on the west side (and about 1/2 of the east side as well) and got more crusher run put down and graded out there.
Then did same for the upper part of the drive. I suspect I will need to get the LPGS finished up to get it really level though ...
About that time there was some discussion about what we'd be having for dinner so she headed down to the house to start on that, and I headed down to see about painting those birdhouses. Get three of them painted with two coats (along with treating all three pipe flange mounts with phosphoric acid to convert the rust) ... one coat before dinner and another one after dinner ... and after I finished up the oil change on the van and changed a couple light bulbs on the back patio. Used almost one can for the three.
I think they look pretty good but like Ron said the wood really sucks up the paint - was dry to the touch in less than an hour. Will have a look tomorrow in better light. Plan on using boiled linseed oil on the roofs.
Still have that one that needs cleaned and painted to do. Hope the weather cooperates so I can get that one done soon.
