Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Poured first cup of coffee. 64° with mostly clear skies. Heading to 81° with mix of sun and clouds. Cleaned up a few little items around yard yesterday. Must have over done it. Have aches and pains this morning. Garden pond cleaning this morning. Lot of maple helicopters have fallen into pond. Then conserve energy and watch some NASCAR in afternoon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.
Good Morning All.

Good to see your making dust on GM Ron.

This shows the issue I need to address - hitch on the Cub probably doesn't sit low enough to get full penetration:

Why not just bend the drawbar straight or make a new one? Seems like an easier fix, and addresses the problem directly.

Good morning.
It’s 54 going to 85 today with fair skies and gentle breeze.

Yesterday went well. Tore up neighbors driveway with box scraper teeth down, then regraded and leveled it. Came out pretty well, but unless he gets a load of clean stone to top it with, he’s gonna be tracking a lot of fines and shale mud into his house.
After that rode around on the Lazer mowing small pastures, figured it was quicker than putting the 90” finish mower on the tractor.
Got the desk project well under way, but probably won’t get to finish it till Tuesday.

Today I’m off to Martha’s Vineyard and Concord, NH. Tomorrow is Vero Beach. Then I should have the rest of the week to myself.

53 and sun, going to 84.

Good to see you again, Ron. We've had record numbers of helicopters this year.

Mostly, yes, helping, but still early.

Alien, good luck with the sale.

Due to our expansion of the flower bed, my wife asked me to move some birdfeeders mounted on posts...so got them moved and looking good with a little rehab work.

Have a great Sunday!

I think I'd try flipping over the aerator's drawbar (if that's possible). If that isn't feasible, I'd look around for a drop hitch to rig to the mower. Even if you can't find one, shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate something

Glad to see you back, Ron. We were a bit concerned about you and your absence.

You said, "Cleaned up a few little items around yard yesterday. Must have over done it. Have aches and pains this morning."

I can sure understand that. A neighbor had a big dumpster type trailer parked in the driveway Friday with plans to clean out the garage, back yard, etc. and told me I could add anything I wanted to, so I did a little disposing of just a few things here, then I mowed, in spite of it being too wet, cleaned up the mower, changed sheets on our bed, got a shower, did 2 loads of laundry, and by 5 p.m. I was so worn out that I could hardly move, so I went to bed just after 5 p.m. yesterday. I told Margaret I wasn't too sure I was going to survive, but other than 2 trips to the bathroom, I didn't get up until 5 a.m. this morning, and I think I'm gonna last awhile longer.

MOKelly, what kind of bike does your wife ride?.

She rides a Trex 18 speed hybrid road/trail bike.

She prefers riding off roads so there is no worry about cars - but, most organized rides around here are on roads. Fortunately, most are very early and the roads are somewhat blocked to cars.

She used to do those tri-athlete things — swim, ride, run! But now it’s just ride the bike.

I was thinking roy's idea of adjustable drop hitch.
Get a can of nice shiny CC yellow spray paint, scrape off all that nice new
paint around the hitch, and weld this on:
