Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Rather than argue slept in truck on hill last night pitty patter of rain drops helped. She called at 3:00AM no memory scared just woke up sugar level 130 no shot last night cool.

Prayers Buppies.

We thought my mom was ready to move to the nice assisted-living community where she stayed for rehab last month. But now that she's home, she's having second thoughts. The PT and occupational therapists are amazed at her abilities for being 93 and recovering from congestive heart failure...they say she was advanced beyond where they would end their service before they even started. My wife thinks the stress of moving and downsizing may be worse than living alone in her 2 story condo...I agree, but she'd have good folks to play bridge with and meals provided. She wants me to take her there for a tour. My sister had that scheduled for 3 days ago, but it didn't work out. We'll try again and she'll make her own decision. I see advantages and disadvantages either way.

My mom in same situation. 95 years old now. Multiple congestive heart problems. Still in her home since 1958. I'm the closest kid, at 100 miles away and I work an hour further away.

She uses a cane. I don't want to move her out, but sister is wanting to move her. She has her doctors and small circle of friends. I believe losing her doctor team would be a bad thing. But no driving is hurting her psyche. City has a lackluster ride service. They left her stranded at a hair appointment, now she refuses to use them.
Her memory is still decent, but sight and hearing going down fast...Might get her some apple ear bud hearing aids that are either coming out, or are already out. Her home could use a week's worth of deep cleaning. But she doesn't seem to worry about it. Money is an issue.

I agree, some are my wife's...lol

I was going to say something, but I have some "stray" records in my stack too.

Frits, I hope you are alright after fighting that tire. Was that a tubeless in the first place? Wondering why tube?
Nice tire iron set you have. Envious....but not of the flat. I just put another half gallon each of slime in our tires that size. Need new tires and rims. Trying to see how far I can stretch them. $30 worth of slime is cheap and easy, ours are still tubeless. I've had the tires off of the rims to grind the beads and bead area on the rim to get them to seal again. Painted with rustoleum rusty metal primer and yellow enamel. But hard to get the paint to dry hard when you are needing the tractor.

I believe I'm going to sell the older HPX Deere Gator. It only has 444 hours. Not sure how much to ask for it. Will have to check the marketplace.

Coffee is done brewing. 56° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 80° with clouds and rain in evening. Yesterdays tractor show was good. Not as many tractors as show in Oakley, MI. But lots of antique engine. Many of them running. Plenty of flea market sales. Got home in time to attend Local Alpacas farm open house. Fun to go out into corral and hand feed them. Son arrived at 2am for a few days visit. Sassy did all the welcoming. Then woke me up at 3am. Will be lots of visiting next few day. Have not seen him for a year.
Fall will be here in a few hours.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Neighbors daughter had lots of fun playing with ducks floating around in this display run by a water pump attached to a hit and miss engine.

Good morning! 76˚F heading to the mid 90s. Today is the art show in the neighborhood activity center. I'll attend as we need one more picture and these originals by the artist that live here are really good.

I ordered an auto skimmer bot for the pool. The mature Live Oak yard trees looses their leaves in the spring but one of the neighbor's trees is about to shed it's leaves and with a strong S wind his tree leaves can make it all the way over to my pool. I figure the skimmer would be a big help since it is kind of hard with one hand and a 12' pole/net. I'll probably get the skimmer about the time I can use both hands but with the $100 Amazon coupon is was too good of a end of season deal to pass up. I will have one bot cleaning the floors and walls and one bot working the water surface.

Good morning, the low is 60 and going to a high of 75°F. Wind SE 6 mph. Cloudy.

I may get after the rear work light today.

I have a new oil filter and a drill pump coming. Then other than the oil which I will pick up at the end of the month I will be ready to change the oil in the Kioti. I made the executive decision that I am not going to open the plugs at the bottom of the pan any more.

Lou, do you have a tractor for each implement? If yes, then you cannot get any more. If no, then go ahead and get it.

Kyle, belated Happy Birthday to your wife and many more.

Ron, looks like a standoff at the feeder. Pigeon, "I'm bigger". Cardinal, "I'm prettier".

Have a safe day all

66 going to 75. Got some fog out there after last night's t-storms. Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Lou, I feel for ya...I never get the "mileage" out of a gallon of paint that is claimed on the label...even after first applying primer...but I like the job my sprayer does...I only run latex through it...use a roller/brushes if I'm applying oil based.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Kyle! Kyle, sounds like your mom is a strong lady! Glad your boy is doing well on the football team.

Cut down a dead tree and into firewood. Did some limb clean up, but more to do...the upper limbs were brittle, so they exploded into small pieces when it hit the yard. I decided to shift gears over to mowing to get that finished before the forecasted t-storm.

I think I'll change the oil and hydraulic fluid on the splitter before I split this new cut firewood. It's been 3 years. Need to change the oil in my wife's suv, too...I think I have one filter left.

 

[Thomas]

54F partly cloudy upper 60's for the first day of autumn.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...trim mow front field. NYG win their first game...steady slow pace today.

Enjoy your day all.

Sitting here at the kitchen table browsing facebook market place and stumbled across this;
Log into Facebook
Decent HP, front and rear 3 points, only one pto, and great for all these hydrostatic lovers.
Heck it's awful tempting to me and I already have several, too many according to my wife.

Lou I wonder if that would make a good “woods” machine? Set of forks with a grapple for logs, and maybe a Brown Tree cutter? Can’t tell if it has a PTO?
