73 and wet out this AM. Really cannot keep up with the rains. Grass needs mowing again. Where is the dry weather and dormant grasses? LOL.
Have a safe day all.

Drew, Just a thought, but you said moving boxes. I didn't get my first hernia till I was 54, the 2nd one at 58. Both required surgery and not to be messed with.

Well made it here to Walnut Creek at noon. We have fallen in love with WV and now I am going to go play tourist with my wife before we join our Amish driving instructors for dinner.

I am glad you are enjoying FL Farmer, I am glad to be gone for a week.

Sounds like you guys will know all about the grass being greener by the time you're done with vacation, huh? :laughing:

81F and partly sunny @ 13:00 ... headed up to 83F with the possibility of some rain, although the dividing line is said to be I-77. We're west of it, but not that far west.

Wife got 95% of the front mowed yesterday with the Kubota, but not picked up.

I got the last of the big sycamore logs cut into rounds after I fixed the pull cord on the chainsaw. Also got the ferrous portions of the pump/wheel motors for the Simplicity coated with phosphoric acid, the tube for the hydraulic cylinder on the logsplitter sanded in preparation for repainting it and the clevis removed from the rod.

The boot for the Trac Vac is well on its way to being repaired - cut the round tube off it and straightened out the rest. Getting the round tube where the hose attaches straightened out will be a challenge - it was pretty mashed up.

Wife found someone on craigslist who had the two plates (one for cutting, the other for mulching) and a discharge chute for a Lawnboy deck ... the ad was about a week old and by the time we emailed him he only had one plate (the cutting plate) left ... fortunately that's the one we needed. Hafta see if we can get up there today and pick it up.

Checked the bluebird box yesterday - have at least two juveniles in it that look to be about ready to fledge.

Best to all who are enjoying their vacations and taking what is probably a well-deserved rest.

a pleasant medical experience today, helps the hospital was pretty quiet.
Went to the immediate care place first, specifically because probably the best GP in the area works there, she did 20+ years in ICU at the hospital 500 feet away. She remembered me completely, asked how the orchard was, and then proceeded to instruct me on the placement of various organs, and no, my appendix was not in that area. But my gall bladder was right under where it hurt. So a comprehensive ultrasound this afternoon I believe found nothing, which is good. So if nothing found, though of course there are many diseases of the gall bladder that an ultrasound just isn't designed to detect, then I'm betting on the muscle strain.
regardless, the show goes on, and so does my boat survey tomorrow. Need to keep my priorities straight here. Boat first.

what I did find interesting is the ultrasound tech told me I was the fourth person over the holiday weekend to come in complaining about pains in the gall bladder area. Meats and rich food for sure do not help. He said the trigger can be a specific thing eaten, or just the time the whole organ says I've had enough and starts talking to you.
I'm betting on the muscle strain. So many parts of my body hurt fairly continuously that another little one just gets tacked on to the back of the train. No whining and keep on trucking.

Was supposed to mow this afternoon, but thought I should just cool it and see if doing nothing works.
Often does.
Just ask a Washington bureaucrat...

not only RS are you a man of many talents but you have trained your better half
seemingly so well. Or is it the other way around...

here's to all wives who want to mow the lawn. God bless them.

Drew, My Dad just today got the results from his ultrasound of his gall bladder area pain, right side right under the ribs. It is not his gall bladder. He does remember it kind of started hurting a bit after he used a steel fence post stomper as a leveraging bar to remove the flat on his truck . . . . but now the Dr. wants to do a MRI.

Hmmm. Either KevT has been lost since somewhere in Georgia or we have him at the wrong Walnut Creek. :laughing: He seems to be in WV where there is also Walnut Creek, of course. Sorry about that. Just as well, Wilmot, OH used to be a speed trap.

Drew, glad your aches don't seem to be serious. Always pays to find out. Here are some tips on boat docking for your sea trial tomorrow.
This is probably the slickest boat docking you?ll ever see ? Outdoors ? Bangor Daily News ? BDN Maine

I picked rocks until 1pm, then had a snack followed by a nice nap. Glad I got out early because it was a warm, muggy day with no breeze. Need to make a diesel run this evening.
