The hunter was bush hogging when I got to the farm tonight.
Wife said, you want to take your drone. Nah, I won’t have time to fly it. Should have brought it. I hiked up the hill to see where he was mowing.

Replaced batteries on cell camera. The cheap 12v supply I bought on Amazon is loose where it plugs into the camera, so apparently ran on batteries instead. Guess I’ll have to spring for the $50 one from the camera mfgr. The camera did come with a cable with the proper adapter, guess I could splice it into this supply instead, except I didn’t bring it with me.

No sign on camera or video that the kid on the 4x4 went in the barn. That’s good. Had to get my dvr password from my brother, I had forgotten it. I’ve had this dvr with analog cameras running in the barn for at least 5-6 yrs now I think. Surprised it still works, but pictures pretty grainy. I also have a game camera in the barn.

Mower won’t start, acts like weak battery. I put it on battery tender charger overnight. Tomorrow I’ll try jump starter to make sure mower runs, then get new battery if it does.

Also brought fan switch to put in ceiling fan. Grabbed one from an old non working ceiling fan I had in my basement. Last time here the switch chain broke inside the switch.

And tractors been overheating. Dads been putting straight water in it. No wonder.
When the hunter brought tractor in tonight from mowing, you could hear radiator boiling, but he said temperature Guage didn’t say overheating. Humm.
I did blow radiator out with radiator genie, think I’ll leave that here. I’ll top it with antifreeze in morning.

Probably won’t get to the post in the barn.

Randy(wag) tasty way to do colonoscopy prep?

Randy(wag) sorry about your cost of petrol, have fun giving away the furniture.
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly which one of the smorgasbord of nibbles set off 'the cleansing'. 😀 But I'm sure grateful to live in these modern times with indoor plumbing as opposed to running out to the "long-drop".

[and reply to LS] Fuel wise - Tassie, being an island, has always had slightly more pricy petrol/diesel costs than the 'North Island' (Tasmanians jokingly call mainland Aus that... with a nod to our Kiwi Mates). Diesel is around A$2.40 per litre at the moment. Nothing we can do about it.

53° right now...high about 80 today.

Prepping for an audit (quality systems) today. Since I've been working remotely for quite a while, I know I'll be getting some findings.
Not too concerned though...

buckeyefarmer - awesome photo, i love it

LS - we bought a trailer dolly on Marketplace, most were $75-$100 Cdn, very handy

PJSprog - sounds like the Wild West, stay safe, praying

prayers for all of the various reported needs, and those that are note noted.

we had rain today, I had a day in the house, and then started to load garbage into the truck - plan is to fill up between now and Monday, then unload at dump

Thomas - I love that fuel gauge, might have to borrow that photo

rswyan - you be busy, great photos, thanks for sharing them

wagtail - the Hilux is cool, I looked at a right hand drive a few yrs ago but decided that my Silverado was just fine

mostly_gas - the leg spasms are so annoying, they happen regularly and mostly after a long day where I've been physically busy - it is not restless leg syndrome (rather my CP) and oddly, COFFEE usually can calm things down

RoyJ - your wise words in RED will no doubt be helpful during the audit :) , I believe in you (I don't recall what line of work you do, but praying the audit results in a high pass)

night all

I'm a Quality Manager at an aerospace machine shop...

I've handled a lot of audits over the last 20some years. Main thing, answer the auditor's questions in as few words as possible...if he or she needs more info, they'll ask...

RoyJ - less is more, it worked the same when I worked in the Courts. The judge called my report "pithy" one time ... I knowingly smiled, my colleague was concerned :)

Buppies - how is Mrs Buppies recuperation going ?
 
   / Good morning!!!! #152,359

good morning all
looks like a nice warm sunny summer day, high upper 80's.
Off to meeting at church, then need to fill the gas tank (groan) and then go food shopping.

this afternoon, mow the lawn, wash the car, and put stuff away.

hump day RNG. Are you out touring the wilderness today?

plantar fasciitis swollen up this morning on right foot, probably due to walking last few days and pressing down on accelerator. Though i do try to stay on adaptive cruise as much as possible.
scaredy, I was only talking in general about being totalled. I'm at 150k miles and need some replacement parts. Some parts no longer available...
Trick is to make the most of what you have.
