60F and "Fair" @ 08:15, heading up to around 81F for the day's high with a mix of sun and clouds.
Got air filter replaced on Cub yesterday morning and deck cleaned off. Hooked up battery charger. Haven't heard anything from the dealer so I'm guessing they won't be by to pick it up until the first of the week.
Woman covered the Stella D-Oro's which the deer had been munching on with netting.
Picked up Woman's car, right front wheel bearing replaced (warranty) along with the vacuum line to the purge valve. No more check engine light ...
Got payment sent off to Uncle Sammy. Painful.
Exterior of electric motor fan shroud painted:
Electric motor itself mostly primed:
May have a little more to do on the bottom of that today, then shoot it with the topcoat.
Made run down to Menards in Massillon and picked up bird seed and suet plus a few other items.
After that I headed over to Wooster on Route 30 to meet up with the guy who had the saw/equipment parts for sale. Seemed like a very nice young man, wood carver.
Pleasant drive out through rural areas and Amish country, enjoyed the barnyard smells but could have lived without the smell of the human septic waste they were putting down on the fields.
Will need to go through and inventory all of it after I make some space up in the shop so I can unload and store it, but I saw enough to know it would be worth it to me for what he was asking:
He even included a partial roll of H28008 1/2" 2-wire 5000psi hydraulic hose, which itself was probably worth the price of admission.
Came back on OH-585 through Smithville:
Then over to Doylestown and down through
Rogues Hollow:
And then down through Clinton where I had to wait on a train to go by.
Woman had a fresh batch of spaghetti and meatballs + garlic toast waiting when I got back.
Once I had eaten dinner, I got the Menards order unloaded and the sunflower and safflower seeds and suet put away.
Pretty much called it a day after that.
Fell asleep on the couch, woke up when Woman got home from putting neighbor's dogs to bed, but fell back asleep and slept through until this morning.
Agenda for today:
Likely more work on Unisaw reassembly.
Maybe some unloading of the van if I can make space in the shop.
Need to see if I have any rear pads for the van in stock, as I have metal to metal contact on the right rear wheel.
Also need a pair of wiper blades and tires for the front (at a minimum) This coming Monday or Tuesday would probably be a good day to handle the tires, when it turns wet and cooler again.
May be some involvement in getting the neighbor's lawn mowed for her today. Her son normally does it, but she has been tied up with him at the hospital. Think he was in surgery over 12 hours and was still in intensive care last I had heard.
Beyond that see what else comes up.
Hope everyone has a good Saturday ...
