Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Got my trailer full of pavers, polymeric sand, 4x4, fabric and spikes, load of sand and Texas white stone coming Wednesday. This all started with Ellen wanting to make a planter from an old wagon wheel, and spiraled out of control. Seat time and knee time coming up. I’ll post before, during and after pictures.

I hope we hear good news from Drew.

I did my time on a 10 speed too, Schwinn Continental that I bought with grass cutting money.

Haven’t seen my mom in two months now, not sure how many she has left.
At least they have been virus free so far.

Everyone have a good night and stay safe. God bless.

Lol, the wagon derailed.

Still have my $79 huffy 10 speed bike from college out behind the shed rusting away.

One of my first times using my BH in 2011.

Another running BH one handed so I could record.

Well Ted, a bit of progress. After today’s bit of cleanup, trip to transfer station, meal with wife, I figured I could give the canopy some attention.
Placed the Clubcar canopy on the tractor just to get better idea what I had to do to frame. Doable, but...

Only 4 bolts hold the canopy on my old Ezgo, so figured it wouldn’t be a major time waster to give it a try. Not perfect, but it would be a much easier fit.
So how much effort would it take to mount the Clubcar canopy on my Ezgo? Surprisingly not much.


Lined it up, drilled 6 holes, 4 screws and 2bolts later - done. Might repaint it, but maybe not. Good chance I might try to upgrade next year.

Ezgo top is tied to tractor right now awaiting next step.

Good evening all. 64F this morning, 24 hour total 3.0 inch in rain gauge, light breeze and mostly sunny. Sky cleared in morning, wind became brisk, and high temp was 81F. Watched chapel this morning, conserved energy till bike ride, After lunch nap then stepdaughter and boyfriend visited and brought smoked brisket which was very good for dinner. Start picking up sticks in yard.
Covid update: Cooke 13 confirmed, 6 active, Montague 9 confirmed 7 active 1 death, Grayson 147 confirmed 74 active.
RNG Not doing the extra training I would normally do this time of year, with all the biking events canceled. Previous 2 years over 2200 miles this date.
Roy always a learning curve.
Bill glad you got the grass done, sorry about Big Brother.
Bird did not have quit as much rain as you but yard still squishy as I picked up sticks.
Billy sounds like productive day yesterday, nice your mom can still live alone.

Phil hope seat time was fun. retirement soon yeah!
Rick hope you are not too rusty after 6 weeks off

I love playing with a backhoe, but honestly it doesn’t justify the price for me.

Didn't for me either...

Good morning, not a bad start to the day with the sun peaking through light cloud, if only the winds would calm down. Tried fishing again for a couple of hours in the evening. Caught plenty, though the wind had me spending much of my time unravelling knots.

L4N, I would feel uneasy at being tracked all the time too, although there are now so many license plate recognising cameras pointed at our roads, it is almost the same thing. Must admit I do like couriers that have GPS tracking installed in delivery vehicles so you can tell when a parcel is about to be delivered. 7 million litres should help keep your head clear for a while, enjoy your summer "vacation".

60 high of 65 today rain in forecast starting late this afternoon continuing thru Friday up to 6 inches

Prayers for all

Good morning, the temp is 51°F and the high will be 61. Wind ENE 11 gusting to 19 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.
By Friday we will be up to 79. So the long range forecast says.

I got my hair cut and beard trimmed yesterday. The D-I-L did it. She took too much off the beard, but there is only two weeks between a good haircut and a bad one. By the time I get back in the fall my hair and beard should be down to my ****.

On my way down to Markham I will be shopping for a 25' trough type bale elevator, a roller/packer and a 6' rock bucket.

This Covid 19 lockdown has turned everybody except me into hermits. I am already a hermit.

Eric, that 7 million L is split between two of us, it all balances out to about 3.5 million each at 42,000 L/load. I have seen this crew unload 4 tanker loads in a day. I have also seen them take 4 days to unload one tanker. This product is very weather dependent.

Here is hoping Drew makes it through his 'troubles' sooner rather than later.


Have a safe day all

57 outside this AM, heading to 69. Rain, spotty, for the week is on order.

Got the grass cut, just need to weed whack the fence lines. Wiped out with the ZTR in the front, by a drainage ditch. Hit the spot at speed and right into the water I went. Walked to the house in shame to get the RTV for retrieval. After pulling it out, decided to take it back to the house for a wash down and inspection. That was lovely mud. Finished washing and returned to mowing. Pretty sad sequence of events.
Next day spent outside with wife, chainsaw, bottles of water and hand saws. Cut back the cedar line on the back horse pasture. Only fell out of RTV once (with hand saw) Hope to have gotten it high and wide enough for the tractor to get back there now.

Got the pool open, only one annoying leak at the pump filter. Probably new seal time. Nice and blue again this year. As opposed to pond water one year, that was messy.
Need mother nature to cooperate.

Looks like inside work the remainder of the week.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe. Prayers for you all. Prayers for Drew.
