eleven pumps and friction started to build, grease came out on 15th.
has nice feel to it, put six squirts in each trailer bearing.

I would say that it’s nothing like the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee motor is perpendicular to the driver.

Should all work on the principle of pulling up the striker mechanism against a spring or compressed gas and then triggering it to strike. A motor seems to be present so maybe a high torque small rotation type to lift up the striker or?

I’ve always been told to avoid moly grease for bearings, but it’s great for pins or other sliding loads. That may have changed with modern times, but I always grease bearings with a lithium based grease.

Mower was low on gear oil when we checked this morning. Dad couldn’t find his jug, I know he had some, but I finally went back to TSC and got some. Glad they put TSC in town a couple years ago, used to be 45 min drive each way. Was 1/2 Qt low.
My brother came over, so I pulled this column out of my truck that I picked up yesterday at Menards, he put it in where dad had knocked post out in the barn.

Mower working again.

I shot some drone of dad mowing a little

I mowed all afternoon

The lights went out here brown outs and flickers for about 1.5 hours. Made a mad dash running around the house to shut off juice to freezer, fridges (2), stove, sump pump, well pump my computer and his too. Juice came back on 15 minutes ago. That is the first time the hydro has gone out since last January, so I cannot fault them too badly.
84°F right now. Going to 86 tomorrow.

We started and terminated with wrapping the wire around the post rather than staples though.

I'd still put staples at the top & bottom, plus one or two evenly spaced between. The wire will stretch over time, even due to environmental factors and begin to 'bow'.

Think of it as "a stitch in time...".

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.2C and it's presently 13.4C, clear with a gentle breeze. there was 8.5mm in the gauge at 0900.

What a difference from yesterday, though... howling wind throughout the day and into the evening. Fortunately I only suffered a couple of tree limbs down and the gutter on my wood-shed came off (but didn't disappear). I definitely heard a tree 'crack', but I think it was a neighbour's. The later rain was welcome as May has been a dry month... only 20.3mm total.

I do need to head back into town to arrange a mew 'meeting venue'. The one that we've been using for years (new management/owners) has decided to charge us A$100 for the use of one of their meeting rooms. Previously it was free as we (8 to 14 people) would gather for drinks & a meal prior... so, they're now going to miss out on the income from that meal too. I physically stopped off, yesterday, to discuss the situation but 'they' weren't available and haven't called me today. Oh, well.

That's about it, take care all.

Wife showed me footprints she found in some of her flower beds. We are dealing with something much larger than a coon….. Hmmmmm. Plus a duck “disappeared“ today.

I had finally decided I needed a hydraulic top link. ordered it early last week, installed it today. Should have done this a long time ago.
