Good morning!!!!

Talked with my tractor tech, scheduled for tomorrow. Guess a challenge getting multiple appointments set up, especially with parts. Can’t complain as this saves me having to pay travel.

My new bidet for the master bath arrived, so got that installed this morning. Another Toto but with heated seat and blow dry.
Reading manual that all the products installed the same I was hoping I could just install the new mount on the other toilet and move the old bidet and slip new bidet on old mount. Nope, procedure may be same but hardware differs. So one deinstall and 2 installs. Didn’t have to change the water splitter though 🤙

Now to switch gears back to green house.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.9C and it's presently 8.0C, heading to 15C. It's fairly clear & calm with the wind predicted to 'pick up' around mid-day. There was 1.0mm in the gauge @ 0700.

Well, the electrician has apologised and asked if 'we' can delay until around 1000. He has an 'urgent' job to do this morning. He did text me last night @ 2230, but I'd already gone to bed in anticipation of an early morning start... hence my 'early' posting here on GM. :D

Of course it's also 'into town' day for groceries & such.

That's about it, take care all.

I got the seat adjusted/raised up another 2". The angled sensation riding down the road is NOT corrected. The bottom of the seat frame is welded to the post crooked. I have another solution for that, but it will have to wait until the end of the month. Payday.

Drew, I spotted this on another thread here and thought it very appropriate for your stop out here....

It's kinda' funny, but can be scary.....

Picked up the supplies needed for a cooling system flush. Will 'work it in' the agenda??? Need to finish taking the trimmer for a walk first....

Didn't get much of anything else accomplished today. I'll call it "an energy scheduling day".....

Scott, congratulations on the new zturn. Now there is no excuse to not rebuild the Wheelhorse.

David, hopefully the tech can get the tractor fixed. Is he coming back for a "supervised" (virtual) diagnosis or is he bringing parts?

Hope all have a pleasant evening!

Drinking hot cup of coffee. 44° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 72° with a few clouds. Got pond maintenance done and grass mowed yesterday. Today I will pick my sister up at airport for a months stay. That will fill the day.
August Full Blue Supermoon. Also called Sturgeon Moon.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the low temperature is 49 and going to a high of 72°F. Wind N 9 mph.

Dump run got put off 'til today. Today might be a good day to replace the roof on the one shelter. Jeep garage, is what we call it.
The middle one (Dodge garage) needs one, too.
Last season we couldn't get a decent windless day & the motivation so we covered them with tarps. Those cheap tarps are only good for one year sometimes.

mostly, yes the seat probably is warranty work, but they are machine welded. If one is bad they all are probably bad. We've got a 21 speed here with a gel seat, I'll change the trike seat for it IF I cannot get my head around the sitting crooked. Juniors' trike needs new tires, if he can make them do until spring he will probably be getting a new e-trike, too. So why put new tires on a trike he is probably going to sell/donate to a worthy cause?

Nice moon, Ron.

Have a safe day all

Good morning,
54° now highs in the upper 60’s
Cloudy in the am showers late afternoon
Winds WNW 5-10 mph

Yesterday’s moving stuff around the yard for winter snow removal turned into a clean up behind the garden shed. Bent metal fence posts, old animal crates, rotted wood from some past project or other. Stuff that can be burned to the brush pile, metal and Pt wood will go to the dump. Saturday is the yearly hazardous chemicals drop off, haven’t been for a couple of years so need to gather that stuff up for disposal.
That’s about it for now.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Things are looking up for my mom. She should be released from the hospital Thurs or Friday. Lou, thanks for sharing your experience.

Mowed for 3 hours...grass tall now that we got a couple of decent rains. But first, tried to plug leak in rear zero turn tire tread. Still leaks. Hole kinda big. Had fixed a year ago, but always slow leak. Replaced the plug twice yesterday. Any body ever tried to use two plugs at the same time? Or maybe I can find bigger ones...or maybe there will be a better approach when I get time to research.

51 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's.

Yesterday did not go as planned. Wow. A true crap show.

Attempted to get to real job, stuck in road closed due to accident. Had to turn around and go back home, cancelling all work at last minute.

Tried to fill up truck on way back, pumps not cooperating.

Got home, scared wife, she did not expect me back so soon.

No power to house/farm. Broke out generator to get some stuff hooked up.

Looked at tile sealing job, blah, not happy with it. Premium products too. Seems to dry, streaking in spots. Not good on a high gloss black floor.

Abandoned plans and fired up ZTR. Spent the rest of the day blowing grass clippings all over me and anything not moving. Grass just a little too high. But not anymore.

Hoping for a better day today.

Hope all are well.

BRRRR! cold air has arrived, 51 out now only getting up to low 70's.

Hopefully then no more green in bottom of sinks. That copper has been going in my coffee every morning, so good to cut that out.

that moonlight comes through the curtains at night, leaves little patterns on floor

hope you are all doing well this morning
