Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good evening. High today was 78°, just as I was doing my duty and testing the knee.....
Yes, the instructions were to do activities that have caused the pain previously.
So, broke out the string trimmer and tackled an area that really got overgrown. Spent about 15 minutes, pain starting....

A brief break and back to it.... 15 minutes and needed another break.
Finished the area up just as it started sprinkling. Figured a good time to quit.

This was specifically a "diagnosis block", temporary, but is used to determine if the actual ablation surgery would work. There is a good chance that a second diagnostic block will have to be done.

7 hours and it's worn off..... I was enjoying a little bit of relief.

Drew, nice that you're getting the Gravely back! Didn't you just rehab / restore it a few years ago? Definitely some good ol' iron.

Paul (PopG), glad your wifey is back home. How long does she have to be recuperating?

M7040, nice place you have there.... thanks for posting the pic!

Roy, sorry you now have more work.... that's a really big 'branch'. Be careful.

Doug , sorry the washer went out. I am assuming not worth it to repair? Hope you find a suitable replacement.

PJ, good luck with the job search / interviews. Hope you find a better opportunity.

Thomas.... WHAT? ----- you had an early day?..... I guess congratulations are in order?

Time to go relax..... been a long day!

74F and mostly cloudy @ 20:45, heading down to a low of 62F overnight. High hit 87.6F here today, was a little close/humid this afternoon.

Enough so that I didn't feel like washing the Cub or planting the strawberries.

Did manage to get the Cub all blown off with the air compressor and then the Stihl. After that I moved it back in the shade and hosed it off with the garden hose. Woman volunteered to wash it down but ran out of steam before she got to it. Maybe She'll hit it tomorrow.

We did get the weeds pulled out of the pots the strawberry plants were in and I got a string line run for the row itself. Also decided that I would build up the bed between the strawberries and the asparagus so the rainwater would flow to both rows of plants. I went and got another 3 bucketloads of screened compost/manure and raked that all out by hand:

​

She picked up some of the rocks while I was doing that.

We also got the weeds - which were around 3' high - cut down on the west side of the frog pond. Raked those up and hauled them up along with the rocks She had collected to compost pile and got them buried.

After that I ran the tiller and started removing dirt for the west side frog pond flower bed:

Got one bucketload taken down into the woods where there is a ditch that has eroded to around 3' deep to start filling that in.

Ham and pintos for dinner again tonight.

Still need to go put the Cub away in the garage.

After that grab a shower and kick back.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Good evening! Haven’t been in the house too long, been outside all day. Another pleasant day in Ohio.

Got the mowing done. Wife helped, first time she has mowed in a month. Being gone for almost 3 weeks with her mother passing kept her off the mowing. She enjoyed it, think she missed the seat time.

Been making parts for the race bike I won last fall. It was an assemblage of parts. Have a radiator mount that actually supports the radiator and a master cylinder reservoir mount that doesn’t involve an incorrectly sized P-clamp around a frame tube done among other things I have made





Exhaust mounting is next along with fixing the mess that the PO considered a wire harness. Turns out the way it was wired, the electrical system wasn’t actually off when the switch was off, just the coils, injectors, and fuel pump were off. ECU, relay box, and sensors were still on.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring.

Everyone stay safe out there

Went straight from work to evening Bible study.

Did visit MVA for my Real Id Drivers License. They had to retake my picture, she said can’t have teeth showing because of facial recognition. What?
I’m pretty sure they have seen all these documents before to prove I’m a resident, though I wasn’t sure they would take my birth certificate because the paper is at least 40 yrs old and the seal isn’t very noticeable. They sure don’t need any ID to take my tax money.

Still need to finish mowing I started Tuesday night, field is tall.

Good evening all. 71ºF for the start, overcast, light breeze, .1 inch in gauge. Light wind day, sky stayed overcast, and high temp was 85ºF, HI 90ºF. Men's meeting to start day, then bike ride. After lunch could not get restarted. Did get nape in. Tried out repair on GPS power switch, so far so good. Pics from last Saturday and the switch repair.
Dennis hope DL renewal goes ok. Hope mowing gets caught up without problems. Hope the list on old WIFI getting short.

Don glad you got that much. We got enough rain to start Indian Creek flowing. Hope they can help air loss.

It took two trips and waiting a total of 4 hours but they found the leak. A tiny leak around the outside of the valve stem. Repaired, but I will be looking for a different place to buy tires too many people go there and the line is very very very long. I was 14 in line to get on the second line list which was 20 long When I found out they did not have my tire in stock I told them to order it and I'll come back. went back at 4:30 and waited in line for 3 more hours for them to find the leak in 2 minutes when they submerged the tire. Finally out of there at 7:30 PM and they close at 6PM. The doors have closed no-one else is allowed to move to Texas.

61° today...high in the low 80's...

At least I got a pretty good night's sleep...up once around 0200 to pee then back to sleep until 0345 (that's when the alarm goes off when I'm working on-site). Tomorrow, I'll be working from home...reveille is 0530, so not so bad.
Still cleaning up the audit findings...and we have another audit (for AS 9100) next week
Side is still painful...not sure it's improving

 

[Buppies]

Glad wife is back Rich

Prayers for all

Good (Thursday) evening. I'm back from AGFEST, it was a safe trip there and back but there is a tale to be told, which I'll elaborate tomorrow... I'm buggered (tired) after an eventful day.

My wallet, somewhat, survived.

It was a beautiful, sunny day.

Take care all.
