Good morning!!!!

[RoyJackson]

Too hot to mow...it would burn the lawn

My other chore was to grease the tractor and chipper (just 2 fittings on the chipper, probably 18 on the tractor and loader. Bummer is, I got 4 or 5 fittings greased on the loader, then ran out of grease...could have sworn I had another tube.
It's about 85°...not going to run to the hardware store today.
Got Margeaux in the house (fairly cool in here)
Wifey and stepdaughters having a good time in Florida...happy to hear that!!

Glad we could get Drews tractor fixed up.

I did the crawling and Paul did the Welding.
I am glad he did the welding, as I would have needed to redo it twice and then ground it down to look anywhere as good as his.

Paul's place is really nice and we got to meet some family members.
A great morning for me.

Home now and off to fix some stuff and more pool work.
Will need to do some wasp removal tonight, too rainy last night.
1 mud dauber, 1 paper wasp and one yellow jacket in the rock wall by the grill.

Luckily the YJ did not get upset when I was powerwashing near their nest. It had been so dry I think they just liked the water.

And the guard Alpaca Making sure I wasn't causing problems

I am very blessed to have two such generous and capable friends nearby.
Most of us don't have a Bridgeport in our garage. Working at Paul's isn't work.
Though we all did get pretty hot outside, Ken and I sweating away over a hot trailer getting hotter by drilling.
Ken was a real trooper, got under the mower where I can't anymore and tirelessly drilled and drilled on the trailer.
It's fun to work with folks who set high standards and enjoy doing what they do.

Paul showed me how to sharpen bits on his bit sharpener. I wrecked five drills on this job before I gave up, and it was no
walk in the park today. It was lean and push and sweat. Thanks to both you guys.

ok, long enough, out to test this contraption. then more pics on the build.

that alpaca is very cool looking. Friendly or does it want a nip out of me like a horse?

Glad the trailer/tractor repair went well.

When can I bring my rim up?

Good worship, I had song leading today.
24 for lunch, we weren’t able to pull tables together for all, so we were at 4 tables.

Got red haven peaches from the orchard.

Nap time.

I'm back already which means it worked!
still sweaty, kinda sticky out there, but gosh was this easier using the small garden tractor.
No issues with traction.
a total success.

look at all the gunk in that filter

tomorrow morning when it's cooler I will flapdisk, sand and clean that welded area, take off the ball, and give it all a couple coats of gloss black Rustoleum. Have a lot of blue taping to do.
Not a fan of overspray.

Good afternoon! 100˚F heading to 102˚, the sky is full of sun and Sahara sand.

Today is National Ice Cream Day, my ripe bananas are in the freezer (The base for my ice cream).

PA crew, good job on Drew's projects.

Popgadget and Drew, I was mistaken the Brownies I make have no maple syrup or sugars. So they are sugar free, gluten free, egg free, oil free, dairy free. The main ingredients are black beans, cocoa, oatmeal and dates.

Below is the Youtube recipe. Instead of the date lady syrup I use 14 dates, and I don't use the plant milk. Chocolate chips are optional and can be dairy free chocolate chips or sugar free dark chocolate chips.

 

[daugen]

I think that might be really good with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top so you can't see it's beans

 

[Thomas]

89F sun cloud mix.

Took walk about this morning it's dry,fingers cross for that good soaking rain starting tomorrow into early Tuesday and again on Thursday.

BBQ some chicken on the grill set on the deck with feet up cool mountain breeze enjoying lime popsicle,out the door early AM for pt. job.

Enjoy your day all.

what a successful morning

It was a fun and productive morning at that, the team worked like a well oiled machine.
My only real comment was that Drew replaced us in the picture with a batch of old guys.
And Ken was a trooper letting my grandson “graze” him with the hose!
