Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Roy, every time you speak of Bella she is alive in your heart.

The new power washer is gone and the replacement wont be here until next Wednesday. I told the salesman that by the time it got here I would be 1,000 miles north and wouldn't be back until October. He says he will hold it for me, just call when I am ready to pick it up. I may get another one in Thunder Bay, just in case the new one is no better than the one I returned.

Got the Physer covid poke today, and nothing. I would swear that it was saline solution they gave me...No muss, no fuss, no nothing. I got the hard copy of the vaccination paperwork and that is all that counts.

Going out shortly to water the garden on the east side of the house. It is in the shade now.

Will the warranty still be good when you get back in October?

Hope you continue reaction free on the shot.

Roy,

Sorry to hear of the sad news on Bella.

You and family have our sincerest condolences.

Roy, There’s not much to say, she’s pain free and playing with friends, she’ll be waiting with the others.

RNG, probably not, but at this stage of the game I don't really care.
I've gotten by this long without one, so I am pretty quite sure I can get along the rest of my life without one. The only thing that burns my but is getting beat for $899.99 + 13% tax= $1017.oo.

Damn!!! That sucks!!

Big time ... I'll be at least two weeks behind where I hoped I would be at this point, assuming I get the correct part this week.

OTOH, we got an early start this year and the mowing hasn't yet gotten out of hand so that's a plus ...

Did you buy directly from Chapin, or through Amazon?

Amazon.

Got ahold of Chapin earlier and went over exactly what part was needed - no question whatsoever that the CS rep knew what I wanted - she was looking at the parts diagram and named it ... so if I get the wrong part this next time, either someone in the order fulfillment department is just utterly incompetent ... or the CS rep is being second-guessed by someone who thinks they know better.

Now we'll see how long it takes them to get it here.

If Amazon, contact them and I'm sure you'll get faster resolution to the problem

Yeah ... might end up going that route ... if the issue doesn't get resolved this time around.

63F and clear @ 22:20, reached 80.1F for the high today, headed down to a low of 54F in the overnight.

Friend stopped by to return to our PHD, we spent some time jaw-jacking and killed a couple of hours. He gave me a hand taking the 27' fiberglass extension ladder down ... need to pressure wash that tomorrow and put it away.

I finished up the mowing around the house after he left. After that I turned it over to The Woman and she mowed the lower front (and it looks great) while I got back to the spraying.

Got most of the weeds on the north side of the barn sprayed.

Came back over to the house and moved the last two feeder poles out into the yard.

Hosed off a tarp, an FRP panel, and a door mat.

Sprayed around the sides and back of the frog pond.

Got live trap set out for coon.

By that time it was around 20:00 so I took the Cub up and knocked out most of the upper front. Will have a little bit to do tomorrow to finish it up.

Came down to house fixed a tuna fish salad sandwich for dinner and then headed down to feed the fish.

Checked live trap before I fed fish, coon had already raided it and gotten the dry cat food I'd baited it with without tripping the trap.

#%$!

Fed fish.

Looked outside with my flashlight after I finished - coon is down at the water's edge doing a little frog hunting ... he beat a rapid retreat when I opened the door.

#%$!

Hope everyone had a great day ...
