They had an almost dead knockoff of a Chevy Stovebolt in them and would run forever, and that’s how long it took to get there. LOL

Yup. 13qt oil sump and oil bath air filter.
They were built for the long run.

71°F snd .54 inches rain.

Need a mental break from project. Watch a bit of football and work on getting a parking area in tractorshed for my Mule. They available stall has had construction material in it, notable the pallet of Sheetrock. Only cutoffs left and the pallet became a catch all. Guess I may get Mule maybe Wednesday as dealer is closed today and Monday.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

David, what are the rules for driving mules around your area?

Good afternoon! Been doing projects slow but steady. Not really much change to the knee, the swelling, pain, and weakness keeps me in check not to overdo it.

Finally got all the tractor maintenance done. I was surprised how dark the hydraulic fluid was once it was in a container. It was the original break-in oil, so not sure if it was that color to begin with. Worst part is that the loader and BH have to be greased again!

The weather finally broke after the persistent heat wave we were having. Temps finally started moderating to "normal" highs in the 70's. Nights are comfortable (actually chilly) in the mid / upper 40's. No rain for the last few weeks, so everything turning brown again.

Why is it that a small project always morphs into a much larger project?
I / we decided that the stump from the tree that came down a couple of weeks ago needed to be dug out..... well, after digging out the stump, the decision was made to widen the driveway in that area, and also to make a new parking area for the RV. Of course that will involve making landscape beds, running drip irrigation lines, mulch, and a lot of work! It will consolidate the RV, utility trailer, and probably my truck. Here's a few pics....

You can see the pile of gravel in the last pic.... WOOHOO! .... gravel..that little bit won't take care of the gravel addiction, so maybe another pile is order!

Took off the BH so I can put on the PHD. We are going to put in a couple of accent post and rail fence at the corners (that what is laying on the ground). I must have moved those pieces ten times while the wifey was 'designing' the shape / size of the beds. Gotta keep her happy! I'll post some after pics when it is done (might be a week or two at the pace that I'm moving these days!).

You guys have sure been busy.... too much to comment on.... I am glad to NOT hear of any major incidents or problems.

I hope everyone has a quiet evening and a great start to the week!

David, what are the rules for driving mules around your area?

Not sure. Have seen them on our road. I will be using 99% just on our acreage with occasional jaunt to a neighbor. Not interest in off roading per se.

One of those yucky, drizzly days, so no outside stuff.

Good afternoon. A sharp shower has brought me inside and persuaded me to put away the concrete breaker for today. Not that I needed much persuading, except I promised my wife I would finish removing the last part of the old concrete cattle yard at the front of the house before she can transform the area into a garden. It is taking much longer than I anticipated, the deal was I won't go and "play" in the ponds until I have it finished and for once she is holding me to that promise.

Kyle, hope Finnly has a great birthday at the zoo. How about playing some Julie Felix in anticipation of the day out ? going to the zoo

I have to admit, I had never heard Julie sing "going to the zoo". I saw where Peter Paul and Mary covered it too, but my older siblings were not big fans of theirs. Most of the rest of the "British invasion" but alas, maybe not Julie.....

Finnly did have a great day. I am surprised you were able to spell her name correctly (thank you for that).....even I have to double think before I write it....I remember by thinking of the Mighty Quinn song (2 "nn's").

Actually, I queued up this as I went into the gorilla exhibit....

Here she is checking out the flamingos. She loves flamingos.
