Ok, I know this is going to sound silly but my wife got a text from a friend who was wondering if a magnet stuck at the site of our covid injections (Moderna and J&J). A guy in her small town was showing the people in town how it stuck at his injection site and one person took a video and she saw the video. Pub med talks about the Superparamagnetic nanoparticle delivery of DNA vaccine - Superparamagnetic nanoparticle delivery of DNA vaccine - PubMed

I know there is a lot of documentation of the injection site and the magnet and the myth was debunked. But does a small magnet stick to anyones injection site? My wife's friend has not had the vaccine and is scared of it and I just wanted her to know how many of the real tractor guys vaccination sites held a small magnet if any.


No!
A lot of dried leaves are magnetic though, I have video of me picking some up if I can find it. Very weak though. I assume
It’s the iron deposits from the water.

I also find that those afraid to get vaccinated will grasp on to any far fetched tin foil hat conspiracy to justify their fears.

All one has to do is look at the drop in numbers of cases and deaths in the USA to see that it works. There’s a far better chance of testing positive than suffering side effects, of course that’s dropping rapidly as more people are vaccinated.

67° right now...much cooler today with a high in the mid-70's. Rain showers in the forecast, which might limit outdoor work. If I get that stuck PTO driveshaft freed up and rigged, I'll be satisfied...
I do need to get out to take a couple branches down and do some weed trimming too, come to think of it...

Finally got all the components (wiring, connectors and in-line fuses) I need to run power to the work lights I installed a few weeks back. I'll remove the Gator's wind shield so I can disconnect the ground wire of the battery. Hope I don't screw this up...

I'd written posts about the 4052's display instructing me to increase RPM to 1500 at start up. Problem was, even with lowering the throttle, the engine remained at 1500 RPM. That prevented use of the hitch-assist function (engine must be at low idle (1000 RPM) for the hitch-assist to function).
While I was rigging the flail mower to the tractor, the throttle was set at low idle...tachometer indicating 1500 RPM...than, while I was standing behind the tractor, the engine did idle down to 1000.
This has something to do with the regen system, I'm sure. Soot percentage is only indicating 32%. Don't have much need to start the tractor today, but I think I will...just to see if the "increase engine speed to 1500" is displayed

68, humid and thickly overcast, going to 91.

Roy, your problem is probably different, but I found that my PTO shaft that wouldn't slide easily was gunked up inside the plastic male shaft cover to female cover contact area...also was a bit warped from letting it rest on a hard piece of the implement when not in use. I cleaned the plastic and started supporting it differently and it's been much improved, but not perfect.

Don, never heard of the vaccine magnets, but sometimes when the moisture is just right, any small smooth piece of metal will stick.

Buppies, you're working too hard!

BEF, I think Ron is probably right for your medicare choice. I found that the Supplement plans looked better the more medical expense you think you'll have. I chose the Advantage, which also covers prescriptions, etc, but does have co-pays...I chose to take the risk of self-insurance for the $0 premium, with a $4,900 maximum out-of-pocket...sorta like choosing a higher deductible on car insurance to buy down the premium. My wife pays monthly for the Supplement plan, but also pays monthly for separate dental and prescription plans....but has better overall coverage. Do some digging since there are so many options and your choice is specific to your needs.

The phoebe chicks finally fledged from the nest under my shelter right over my log splitter Friday, so I had the space back to myself...did some re-organizing and started on making another firewood pallet so I can split the last load I brought up last month. Did some string trimming rather than run the mower...the ground is rock hard and grass is turning brown.

Good Morning
It’s 70, on its way to the low 90’s here today.
It’s getting pretty dry out there, we could use some rain.

I did get the Toro mower picked up yesterday, we had to take the deck off to get it to fit on the trailer, bit all in all it still went pretty well. Mulch got spread, got the cover off the pool, mowing got done, recording got rough mixed down to mp3. Grandson rode in the tractor on my lap, we listened to the rehearsal recording while we mowed. He had a great time, didn’t want to get out when we were done.
If you look closely you can see him in the picture.

After putting the tractor away, got a call from a neighbor that his AC wasn’t working, so I went over to check it out, and was able to get it going for him.

Not sure what today will bring, hopefully it will be inside.

This reminds me of the days I spent doing gas leakage surveys with an instrument known variously as a "flame pack, gas sniffer, etc.". It was an incredibly sensitive instrument for finding natural gas leaks . . . BUT . . . you soon learned to distinquish between it sensing the gas you were looking for from the gas produced by decaying or decomposing leaves or other vegetation.

Woke up in night after a bad dream, looked at TBN to distract my mind, only to see Don’s post about magnets. That didn’t help.

Hope to head towards home after worship. Going to one where some old friends of ours go. Spoke to them last night and they invited us to lunch after worship.
They both had COVID last fall.

Don’t know if we can make it back in one day with a late start and the time change.
Visited wife’s niece last night, about 45 minutes away.
