Good hours on the tractor with flail today. Got the whole Laupahoehoe end of the property cut. So much better when I get it at reasonable height.
Maybe get Hilo end tomorrow.

Good Evening
Just back from town - spent a couple hours with the ice cream cruisers. It was nice to see a big crowd, lots of vehicles, and 8 of us drove out for ice cream. Without the El Camino operational, I got to ride in a '66 Nova. What a car, street legal track racer, very quick, a Barrett-Jackson show car, some years ago.
that's why I buy "Maintenance Beer" ... or also "Gift Beer" - other than that, I generally have no alcohol at home
Sorry about your fall, I know how difficult that can be - recover quickly ok
Is it a one step drop ? Could you / do you have enough space, for a short Ramp in that area ? Thinking that a ramp could be built over the step(s). The railing is a good idea either way.
We had a ramp at one point that was about 100 ft long - 8 foot rise, it zig zagged along the side of the house, with a stairway on the one end. I miss it, way more convenient for me than steps.
BEF - sorry to hear the offer was not accepted.
Mostly - yes, the down time is minimal

It is a one step drop.
When my wife broke her leg last year, I bought ramps since she was in a wheelchair quite a while. That was the only way we could get her out for doctor's visits and anything else. We still have them (needed two due to the width of the wheelchair.
For me, it was tough walking down them...and wintertime in Vermont, I think they'd be dangerous (with or without a railing) for me since with little control of my right leg below the knee.
The railing is a better solution (meaning safer) ...something just long enough to use when stepping up or down

good morning all
looks like a nice Fall day, high in low 80's.
should be a fun morning, going to help a younger friend with his brand
new Kubota LX3310. Bought it to clear snow at their business. Has never owned a tractor so this will be a review
of basics, and safety issues. He doesn't have a plow or blower yet, or a snow pusher, not sure what he is going to wind up with.
Loading docks at business are kind of tricky, on an angle, not a lot of straight runs. He is very mechanically minded, should pick this up easily.
He was all set to buy a slightly used B2650 but found this model instead, next size up.
I am sure he was in his garage last night, just got tractor yesterday afternoon, putting about ten coats of wax on the tractor. He spent 17 hours
putting a special wax job on his new GMC truck, not like this tractor will be used hard and put away wet. Good news is they bought it from a guy who put
60 hours on it and realized he didn't have enough to do with it. So they got a pristine tractor likely for close to new price.
Will have fun explaining how Kubota orange fades...though with his wax job and keeping the tractor inside warehouse at work means it will look new likely forever.
I was impressed how the new King of England handled things yesterday. Or should I say King of the Commonwealth?
Will be interesting to see who shows up for Queen's funeral. Somehow I don't think Putin will get invited...
glad to see Southern CA getting some rain.
have a great weekend guys

56° now dew point 52° sunny in the mid 80’s today.
Managed to get all the trimming done yesterday and should be able to get mowing done today after a couple of errands this morning. Not sure what other trouble I will get into today.
Enjoy your day everyone

55 going to 78. So nice.
Sorry about the stumble, Roy...feel better soon!
BEF, bummer on the lot. Hope you had a good day off.
RNG, I saw that tomato spill on the news. Are they gonna rename that highway Ketchup Road?
Scaredy, I've never been a Chevy guy, but always liked that Nova.
Had a fun, long hike yesterday. Talked with one section hiker from Kentucky who was just back on the trail. First day after having to return home from Shenandoah to have heart surgery...now back and trying to get to at least Harper's Ferry this year. It's been amazing how many folks I've talked with that are back on the trail after knee or hip replacement, or other health issues. This guy's trail name was Willy Pyro because of his fire-starting abilities.
I talked with another flip-flopper who was trail-named Rude...I didn't ask the origin of that name. He had hiked from Harper's Ferry north to Katahdin, and was now finishing the trail by hiking from Harper's to Georgia...getting the best of the weather in both halves.
BEF, I met a guy on the trail from Staunton...lives two blocks from the train station and knew all about that Virginia Scenic Railway excursion we're taking next month...I joked that I'd see him again next month, but didn't get an invite for breakfast.

Never had found bald-faced hornet nests on the trail before, but found a second one in the last month, under this fallen oak.
