God morning
Helping wife do more planting
Need to take down overhanging branches from the Mulberry trees
Looking into arborist bull ropes either 1/2 inch or 5/8 200 ft and line to use with dog ball sticks to get it over it and pull down the bigger rope

69F and cloudy @ 12:00, supposed to be heading up to a high of around 82F for the day.
Indian food was very good.
Did not make it back up to the shop last night to get any work done though, just couldn't summon up the motivation ...
Did go up and lock up before I hit the rack though.
Woman has already gone through a gallon of glyphosate this morning and is after me to get on finishing the refill of the 2nd sprayer since it's calm outside.
Have a couple of bills to get scheduled for payment but otherwise getting pepper plants planted is on the agenda for today.
Appreciate the feedback and insights on the Lock-N-Lube coupler.
Hope everyone is having a decent Monday ...

Good morning! Low of 53°, heading to a high of 85°. The guessers are forecasting our first 90° day on Wednesday, then 93° on Thursday. The comfortable temps didn't last too long....
No rain predicted in the 10 day forecast, humidity is hanging around 10% during the day, maybe up to 15% overnight.... Even if it did rain, probably evaporate before it gets to the ground....
Need to take the trimmer for a long walk.... unfortunately, misplaced my motivation again....
I hope I find it soon.... the garden tractor and the big tractor are needing to get used too!
Asiatic lilies are finally popping open, no peony blooms yet, coreopsis getting ready, hydrangeas are slowly forming flower buds.... I'm anticipating a burst of color when the temp goes up....
I gave up trying to shoo the persistent bird off the back porch. She had her nest complete in about 4 days! Eggs in there already. Finally able to identify her--- a "Lucy's Warbler". I'll clear the nest after the chicks fledge and come up with some type of deterrent.

I use the 5/8 bull line , but use a throw rope with weight to go over the branch.
Bull line is too heavy to throw.
What I have, but got on sale:

Helped my wife weed garden, I took hoe around the outer perimeter. Sprayed ants.
Hopped on mower and didn’t stop till all 5 acres got mowed, even across the creek.
Late lunch.
Have charger on Massey battery. Need to go check if it will start.
Let me test a picture, could only load low resolution earlier. It worked.

Massey started right up after battery charged. I left the big tiller on it, so tilled a couple passes at end of garden where pumpkins go later.
Fueled up BX, put rest of can in L3940. Out of diesel now.
hummingbird just came to feeder in front of me, nice breeze right now.
Sitting on porch with a cold lemonade.

Good afternoon to the Good Morning!!!! crew; still in Orcutt, CA.
64F @ 1:45PM. Partly cloudy. High 68F. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.
Just a thought about the ECU, David. If it is a heat related problem, and you can get it to stick in the failed mode, try shooting it with some compressed air or a CO2 fire extinguisher to cool it off. If that gets it going again, see if there are components inside the ECU box mounted on heat sinks. If so, there's a good chance the heat sink compound has dried out and is no longer working. Take the two pieces apart, clean them, and apply new heat sink paste.
Not sure about this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an image size limit imposed here on TBM. It only takes a few hundred thousand killobytes to display a handsome photo on the web, and posting megabyte files is a huge waste of server space and network bandwidth, both of which cost TBN money.
The above image is only 42 kb...
It was a nice weekend here. Overcast in the morning with fog all day along parts of the coast. Got some shopping out of the way on Saturday, then on Sunday a buddy showed me some favorite motorcycle roads. The old Zebra bike ran well with the new rectifier in place, but the new helmet is noisier than the old one. Sounds like there's an air leak around the shield, so that needs some looking into. Had dinner and overnighted at my friend's place, but they were up most of it with intestinal distress. I got out of there as soon as I could this morning, and am keeping my fingers crossed I keep feeling fine.
Finished unpacking the van this morning, and will get some photos shot and posted for more items I need to sell. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring.
Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

Well, found some motivation..... half the weeds are gone. Apparently, I forgot to add fuel to MY tank...
wore myself out, knee is screaming. The last half can wait until tomorrow or the next day.....
Dennis, seems like you have more energy than me... feel like a road trip? I'll even let you play with the tractors.....
Sorry to hear about the crash but glad that it still flies. Neat pics.
RNG, glad you got to ride some good roads. Apparently you were going so fast that the draft sent all the Cali heat our way.....
Sitting on the porch having a nice cold drink too! Much cooler in the shade. Went up to 87°, now back down to 85°. Right on the edge of my heat tolerance.
I think it's time for a shower and to relax.

David, is the tractor still under the 6 year powertrain warranty?
The ECU controls the emissions system.... by law, they have to fix it under the emissions law for 5 years. Might be an alternative way to get it fixed....
threaten to call the EPA!
But, they might get out of it by saying it goes into "limp mode", so it technically is still limiting exhaust emissions. Worth taking a shot at it though.

And got new ceiling fan switch installed, but medium and low look like same speed to me. I hooked up to same numbers on switch, but numbers in different order from the old switch.

Thank you Ken, I have it on order. 200 ft of 5/8 inch bull line, throw line and throw bags, block pulley to be able to change pull direction and bags for storing it.I use the 5/8 bull line , but use a throw rope with weight to go over the branch.
Bull line is too heavy to throw.

Was hoping I could use this ball thrower for Cody for the throw line. I will give it a try to see if it will save my shoulder. Should be able tie the line to the ball.
I believe Newberry had suggested this a while back

I actually have come to prefer a slingshot.

I've better accuracy. I tie about 5 to 8 large nuts to some monofilament for the weight. Get that over the branch and pull up my "cheap" climbing rope. (Cheap as in ~$101 for 500 feet of high quality climbing rope with a breaking strength around 6,000lbs from CMC.)
