Good Morning!!!! 69F @ 5:15AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High near 100F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
So much for Spring; tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter.
+1 on the mail order prescription thing, but I don't recall if it's USPS or not. I was working up at the gate yesterday when the postman arrived, without my vacation held mail. Which incidentally should have been delivered the day before. He got out of his truck and apologized, but I didn't let him off the hook. I reminded him that this wasn't the first time he'd screwed up on both the start and stop dates for a mail hold, and asked that he do better. Probably a waste of breath, but I don't know what else to do.
Tractor Supply sells Kubota orange in a spray can, Paul, but in my experience it doesn't hold up very well in sunlight and fades badly after a few years. Haven't had much luck with Rustoleum hammered finishes in brush or spray, either, for the same reason.
It's maybe even more important to know when to take a break than it is to keep going sometimes, RS.
Hope the new cart fits on the trailer, Drew. I've had a pair of those plastic ramps for a number of years now, and they've held up well (no pun intended).
When we arrived at my friend's place last Sunday, we learned that the daughter's boyfriend had tested positive for aligatoritus the previous Tuesday, and she'd last seen him the Sunday before. I gave some thought to checking my friend and I into a local motel, but we're both vaccinated and the daughter wasn't feeling any symptoms. Neither am I, but I'll be masking during today's shopping trip.
Found a dead mouse in the snap trap when I got home Monday, but the maggots got to it first. Big mess to clean up, but I'm glad I checked it before the maggots filled the house with flies. Turns out the kitchen garbage can drawer is a pretty good spot for a trap, as that was number four for that location. One of the joys of rural life is sharing the space with wild vermin, that always seem able to find their unwelcome way inside.
I did manage to get out on the tractor and clean up some downed trees at the gate yesterday. That put the hour meter past time to lube the FEL and pushed the fuel gauge too close to empty, so I lubed and fueled and put the tractor away for the day. It was getting too hot outside anyway, and more paperwork was waiting in the much cooler office.
Pretty sunrise this morning.
Unfortunately during yesterday's clean up, the grapple hooked the wire for the gate opener car sensor, so I've got that to repair this morning. Probably won't get much else done but a grocery run, but it's better than doing more paperwork.
Hang in there folks, Friday's comin'!
