Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

Randy- It may be the Prednisone posting. BTDT more times than I care to think about. Honestly I miss that energy. My "normal" nervous energy went to hypomanic to full scale manic. I did get lots of things "done."

Billy- I am still waiting for my first hummingbird sighting; any day now.

David- I agree about the potluck dinners and name tags for the foods brought. Cooking for a large number of guests is too distracting for me to both cook and socialize/"party". Hope your weekend goes as planned.

It's road speed related; happens regardless of engine RPMs. Manual transmission, so no torque converter; what's a flex plate? The drive shaft is out of it now, and it still vibrates. I'll check the bell housing fasteners between the engine and transaxle, though. I did find that the nut holding the input flange to the input shaft on the front diff was loose, so anything's possible. Yesterday I found that the A/C compressor wasn't coming on because the wire to it had never been hooked up. Still doesn't cool, so now I'm wondering if it's even been charged. I don't have any A/C tools except maybe a vacuum pump that might the work, so I'm trying to come up to speed on that, too.

Flex plate is an automatic transmissions flywheel. Same applies though, if it loses a weight or for any reason gets out of balance or cracks, it will vibrate. Since it’s manual all parts of the clutch are suspect as well, bad spring on on the disc or any issue with pressure plate or release bearing, and the biggie can be the pilot shaft bearing/bushing.

All that stuff is going to be engine speed related and would be worse at different rpm, not road speeds.

76 with sprinkles in the area.

Mowed for the fourth time today, but first with the new Gator blades, wow!
Big difference. Thanks to all who advised on these and to Rick for the link to the seller.

Now I need to go fill the tank and spray weeds, weeds and more weeds. Just have to check the forecast to see if I have a couple of rain free hours.

Tire balance is a pseudo science, some guys can nail it, some can’t, no matter the equipment used. I discovered years ago that the nearer the center you could place weights, the more accurately they worked but the less effective a given amount of weight was.

My shoulder improved about 70% yesterday and today, good thing because my appointment got delayed until next Thursday.

Prayers for Kyle, Bird, Buppies, Drew, JB and everyone else.

Don't forget to use a good non-ionic surfactant, with your herbicide Randy.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable day without overly stressing body parts and Kyle is in recovery mode.

I wake at 4:00AM and burn out by 3:00PM on a normal day. Today was/is no exception. A relatively successful day at puttering around w/o stressing out any joints. My endurance is still really poor, but the new hinged knee brace is really helping. A really nice day here to appreciate. The other evening I could really hear the SpringPeepers clearly over those always peeping in my ear.

I use Jet-Dri, just because I have it here.

I had to laugh, I have the same problem, a few weeks ago I got out of the truck about9 and said to Ellen that it was pretty chili for the frogs to be singing, she said, there are no frogs singing!

I'm home.
Feel like I've been 10 rounds with the champ.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
