Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Ran into town for 3 cans of gas for mower. Now sitting in shade of porch, little breeze, 84°.
On way back from town Had a motorcycle pull across the road right in front of me, never turned to look my way. If I hadnt come to a complete stop I would have plowed him good. Good thing I had the gas cans strapped down good in the bed of the truck. Don’t think the motorcyclist knew what he just missed. He was focused on a car coming the other direction, and went when it turned right on the road he was coming out of.

Breeze from the NE. When it stops I feel the humidity.

The cat is doing well now. It has even cleaned itself up, and is back to picking on the other cat. Wife is letting it back up on her lap.

They are generic Hub centric from Ebay
2Pcs 2. Hubcentric Wheel Spacers 5x4.5 Ford Ranger Explorer Sport Trac | eBay Which is why I had to "route"out the center to 79mm on the hub side (pilot hole). Don;t have access to a lathe, that would be too easy
Lugs White Knight 12mm x 1.5 Conical Seat Lug Bolt 11874 | eBay

Put them on as I have a lot of small hills and need to go at an angle for some, can get a little tippy. This seems to stabilize the side to side a bit.

67°F and no rain last 24 hours

Followup with ophthalmologist today for wife. Slow progress, well I think it looks slightly better but still red and reduced vision.

Will also do in town errands. Swing by HD to check out the battery trimmers.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good to hear about the cat. Pets getting sick is nerve racking.

Good morning 70 going up to 91- sunny and feels like the dog days of August already.
Didn't get much free time yesterday but finally got the spacers on, 2" on either side. Don;t have a lathe so used a dremel square cutter and router head. Not fun but worked.

That project is just yelling "Fender Flares"!
Golf cart flares might fit nicely.

Those and wheel spinners and I am sure the stumps will jump out of the dirt for me

I have very hilly property and wanted a wider stance.

OK, that makes sense. How does it feel now?

Yes, it is...and sometimes, heartbreaking...

It rained yesterday and it was still like 1930s Oklahoma out there mowing today. A regular dust bowl. Finally got it done and blew the dust off the tractor and myself.
It’s around 90 today and very humid, a little NW breeze helps some.
Ellen ran the trimmer and pruned some bushes and trees. She’s pretty good help!

Will let you know after I move some rounds this weekend. Only did some dry runs so far to make sure everything felt tight. Will probably drop the wheels again after a few hours to check torque on the lugs
