Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

Cool morning. Pool water seems warmer than the air. Inviting, but there is work to be done.

Interesting fish, Eric.

Mother Earth sure is spectacular, David. Awesome.

Have a great day all. Remember to enjoy the day! It is after all, Sunday.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!

David- Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful, calm, early AM with temperatures in the high 40F's. Early AM indoor temperatures 62F - 63F . I am already covering and closing windows. Yesterday the first floor started off at the same temperatures and the indoor temps reached a high ranging 73F - 75F with yesterday's high outdoors ~76F. We only needed the ceiling fans. Today will be hotter with anticipated high temperatures in the mid 80F's. Tomorrow I will know when the A/C is replaced; hopefully midweek.

For once I accomplished just about everything on yesterday's "List": The rider did not like the height of the "grass" (~2'), but it managed to cut the"lawn" and perimeter path (w/o bagger); close to 3 acres. It's a discharged vegetation mess everywhere; I will try to collect this matted mess later today when things dry out. I did take my old Stihl FS 130 weed/brush whacker to the local dealer for repairs, and also bought a Stihl KM 131 R power head and a HT-KM pole pruner. They are essentially the same with the KM having easier-to-mount additional front end attachments. I like brush cutting with those handlebars, and will use it until it's RIP.

I can definitely relate to the challenges of trying to mate the driveshaft's PTO locking pin/ring/band to the tractor's PTO spline. So far I have been lucky; my "day" is coming .

Brogen met the the local feral cat 2X this AM; coming and returning from walk#2, That cat was still hiding under the garden/wood cart....... Luckily Brogen minded the choke chain collar. I suspect he knows about the danger of cats. The cat did skedaddle during a "correction."

Today I will be messing in the garden that has been unattended for 3 weeks .

I hope that everyone had a decent day today.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

It was 51* this morning, yesterday was in the high 80's and almost no wind at all for a change. Today is going to be sunny this morning with a chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. With the high back in the 80's and the wind 10-20 by the afternoon.

Still working on the trailer but it's going better then I thought. I need to pick up some things for it next week when I go back down to SLC. Started another project this one I get to weld on. I hope it goes as good as the trailer has.

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
CWB.

Roy, I did not upgrade to the US pto shaft. Thought it was interesting they promote US made on my model and then they only offer a foreign shaft without paying hundreds more.
I spray a lot of Kroil on those pto balls to keep them free, nothing lacks for lube

Busy but fun day, weather was cloudy and much cooler, fun to be out.
Day started poorly for local rabbit, who never got any of the carrots I took to the barn to lure them away from the big garden.
Now that rabbit lost its head for sure. Hawk most likely, surprised remainder was there and not carried off.

Mammoth sunflower starting to bloom but even at 9 pounds I picked this melon too soon, wasn't ready though the opposing tendril was a little wilty.
Guess these are big melons. Will save the seeds tomorrow if I have time.

The PTO shaft I got on both Woodmaxx attachments I have are the China ones. They have a single pin lock. Both are fairly easy to hook up. My Kubota tiller has the ball type lock. It’s hard to get on and off. Requires 2 hands. I bought a cheap china clutch one off Amazon to replace it. My JD rotary cutter has ball type lock. But to release the balls you twist the release. Can be done with one hand.

Poor rabbit

Poor rabbit

seriously bad day for Mr Wabbit

out came the pitch fork and into the woods he/most of him went flying

Ron, yes, I like those single pin ones better. The collar on the ball types can bind and I've lost so much hand strength I just can't
go through those contortions any more.

I want them to nestle together like two eager lovers.
Let's not keep this terrible chastity collar between us...:ashamed:

That is really cool. They just held the 33rd James River Bateau Festival a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like a very interesting trip down the river. Were the white water rapids sections difficult on a bateau?

Yes it was a fun week, The bateau was 40 ft long and 8 ft wide so even going over Williams Dam with about 2 ft drop was almost not noticeable. We went through rapids that had a canoe wrapped around a rock and you would not know the rapids were there if you closed your eyes. Ed
