WOW! Walked outside with the dog early this morning and couldn't believe the cool air I walked into. NWS says it's 50 degrees, but going for a seasonal high of 87.
Good morning!!!!

Nice and cool in Texas and warm and muggy here, Bird stop hogging the nice air! 
my neighbor's okra patch was producing like mad this summer, he said they put away a huge amount of it, and it just kept coming.
I saw yesterday it was all pulled up. I think they had the all the okra they could deal with. A prolific vegetable, at least here.
It's still growing season here, for me the second garden planted, green pepper picked yesterday.
going down to barn to put final coat of red on that mower deck. I had touched up one little spot and the overspray messed up the adjacent area
too much, so....one more time. Do it all, keep moving, and don't fiddle with it when you're done. My friend had helped me put the deck on edge so I could paint the parts
I couldn't reach. Sure would be nice to have a rotisserie setup. No more drips then.
Then I'll start painting the frame, from which the deck is suspended. And when all the little pieces are painted, then I put them back together
truly like Humpty Dumpty. On this project I did not mark parts when I took them off, knowing I had an identical twin unit to inspect to hopefully get it right.
And honestly this is not really complicated like one of RNG's wiring harnesses.
The most challenging part is that Gravely used odd sized bolts; the lengths are all a quarter inch off what I can get in the normal parts bins. So I'm making quite a few custom bolts, not hard to do. Just have to remember to put the nut on first.
Sunday morning. A quiet time by tradition, which I enjoy.

Morning, starting the 2nd cup of coffee, thinking of painting a little trim today at my wife's shop. Need to go to HD, pick up a few things. I might do a little tractor work, but time will tell.
Have a good one!

I renovated a mower deck early this year, I took the deck, stripped down, to a sand blaster. He also put on some polyureathane paint. After I put it on, it kept throwing the belt. I replaced the idler spring, and it was fine. I guess the spring just lost tension over time. A 1996? Craftsman.

The low this morning was 35*, yesterday's high was 65*. Today's going to be clear this morning and overcast by the afternoon. With a chance of rain and snow showers overnight. The high will be in the mid 40's with 15-20 mph wind.
Not much planned for today, just see how it goes.
Hope everyone has a nice day.

Didn't pick it up as planned...as I'd written in my first post today, I was feeling poorly yesterday (still am, BTW).
I called the guy at the gun shop...I'll pick later this week or next Saturday. Since the rifle has no iron sights, it'll require a scope (picked up a Leopold 2-7x33mm a few days ago). The plan is to head to a buddy's hunting camp next weekend to sight it in.
I'll post my "critique" next weekend....but all the reviews I've read and watched give the Ruger American Ranch in .223/5.56 very good reviews.

60 this morning and headed to 76 today. Currently 62. Think it might struggle. The rain from Nate is just getting here, but the cold front that came through last night dropped 5 inches on us.
After all that rain I've got fences to check and see what was washed out. Should soften the ground for some post hole drilling this week.

Because they are delicious and life sustaining.
But most importantly the salad & plant sides pic would be very impressive and appetizing.:licking:

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 9AM. 0% Precip. / 0.00 i. Sunny. High 79F. Winds NNE at 15 to 25 mph.
Another Red Flag Fire Warning for today and tomorrow, with a Wind Advisory for tonight. Winds gusting to 40 MPH and humidity dropping into the teens means fire will spread quickly if one gets going. Hope people, including my immediate neighbors, will be careful. During last week's RFFW, they were out limbing up pine trees with a chainsaw. Ever cut wood after dark with a chainsaw and seen the steady stream of sparks coming off the blade?
Got the body of the transmission tool and the pin wrench made yesterday, but still need to weld a nut and long handle to the body today. Then quench and temper the pin wrench. Then we'll see if the nut will come off, and if the taper holding the output flange can be broken. Or if the tool will fail.:confused2:
Took a rack of baby backs out to defrost yesterday, and will put them into the BBQ to smoke starting about lunch time. Would be nice to enjoy them on the porch watching the sunset, if the wind's not blowing too hard...
Hope everyone has a nice, quiet, Sunday.
