Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

The Highlander, like the Chrysler Pacifica my wife drove for years, is really more van like than SUV. A lady brought me two full size chairs in a Highlander.

Yes, I think some buy the Highlander because they are just mini-van averse but still need the interior capacity or seating (8). Although the Highlander is no where near a true off road truck-based SUV in the sense of a 4Runner, it does have the same 5,000 lbs towing and it has more HP (295) and nearly as much ground clearance (8 in) plus many cupholders . I'd never looked at them closely, but was very impressed.

64°F and clear skies, going up to 84° today. Expecting some much needed rain this week.

Condolences to you and your family, Don. Lost my Father in '89, and my Mother in '11. Cherish your time with them.

Don,

My sincerest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father.

Finally got caught up, 300+ unread posts read.

66F and clear @ 11:00, high of 76F for the day.

After a six day run of unusually high temps (90's) it finally cooled off.

It's been quite awhile since we've had any measurable rainfall ... at least three weeks I'd guess ... maybe four. Looks like we have a shot Thursday - Sunday.

Haven't mowed in at least three weeks, will probably need to get to that in the next few days.

Leaves have really started to turn ... probably more due to the lack of rain than anything. Hawthorn leaves pretty much all dropped at this point, dogwoods not far behind.

I tried to stay out of the heat during our little heatwave but I did manage to get a little done outside. Had another few of loads of wood chips delivered a few days ago, which I'll need get moved and incorporated into the compost pile.

Did get quite a bit of composted soil screened. Still have two more piles to do.

Lots of stuff to do before the weather turns bad, probably have a couple weeks anyways.

Wife's car needed a new oxygen sensor and a couple of power relays for the ECM, should have that back in the next few days ... which be nice. Could have been a lot worse I guess ... but still pricey.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and productive day.

70°F and no rain

Should have some stuff at the PO today.
Gonna lend my 60” rotary cutter to my neighbor to prep for some fence work.

Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning. It was perfect weather for a fish fry yesterday. I missed it . . . was saying goodbye to Dad.

My thoughts are with you and your family, Don.

Good Morning!!!! 64F @ 9:45 AM. 0% Precip. / 0.00 in. Sunny. High 74F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Horrific news out of Las Vegas last night. What would make someone do something like that?ullinghair:

Been buying and selling on CL for years, but these last few I've had to deal with more and more flakes. No shows, not enough money and want a discount on the negotiated price, or just change their mind at the last minute. Not a lot, but enough so that I'm just sitting on stuff I'd like to get rid of but don't have time to waste dealing with these idiots.

Finished the tool for removing the swingarm pivots yesterday and used it to remove the drive shaft so that the boot over the front u-joint could be replaced. In the process I noticed the hole where the speedo drive gear goes, and couldn't recall seeing the gear in the boxes of parts. Have a note off to the previous owner to ask if he's ever seen the part, so fingers crossed...

Looks like I'll finally get to changing out those pushrod tube seals today, not much planned otherwise.

Hope everyone's week (and month) gets off to a great start!

Good evening all. 71F this morning, clear, calm. Got windy today, started to cloud up about noon, high temp 88F, humidity rising. Choir practice this morning, then take van for repairs, steam was coming out of it after wife's colonoscopy. Rumor has it it is the water pump, also getting 100K trannie service. Did some shopping while in town, got button head screw to replace socket head screw that was rubbing om the bike. Also got back yard mowed, and screw installed on bike fender.
