a fine morning. First my tooth while still sore is not throbbing, what an improvement, and the smack to my head seems only to have left a two inch red puffy spot under my right eye. Should be gone in a day or two. Geez I'm glad the flat side hit me....
I had to chuckle, yes, I should have used my Kubota with either the bucket or the pallet forks to take this big steel contraption out of the truck.
I had help getting it into the truck, then went to Lowes for 2x6 treated lumber to build the carryall around the very heavy frame they give you.
Heavy steel, poorly welded. I have a pic on my phone I'll load later regarding the welding. I am the last person to be picky about welds based on my experience but this was really something. Almost laughable. Somebody seems to have run out of spool wire, stopped welding, left about an inch high ball of spool wire still welded to the bottom of the steel, all bunched up like a bird's nest. I of course will post the pic also to the welding thread and see how they enjoy it. Luckily I can now add a few welds to beef it up; going to get fully repainted anyway.
It's been warm and muggy here for days. 73 now, going up to low 80's today in showers. But when the sun is out it feels like a sauna.
At least we are getting some rain. About one inch so far this week, we need a lot more than that.
Headed to the dentist bright and early. Last time he sent me to another dentist for a root canal; I decided to wait and see if it would improve. Over a week it did and I never got the root canal. A little twingy at times, but they had just put a new expensive bridge in and now they wanted to drill through the bridge. No. So hopefully this too will die down. I wonder if I'm grinding my teeth at night in a particularly crazy dream, but
if I can avoid drills, I'm sure going to try.
On the fun side, will be ordering new front tires for my "little" Massey. I checked the tire clearance yesterday. About an inch to the steering rod.
Width going up one inch, so half inch on either side. Going to be close but should work. Turf tires, not ag, so tight clearance ok, unlikely debris will get wedged.
