I知 still tractor looking/shopping.

I received a call from the local Chief of Police saying they had uncovered a conspiracy intended to tractor nap my new tractor.
A certain Eastern Shore tractor-less gentleman, though I must use that term advisedly, since he was heard conspiring to
whisk away my tractor after he got a look at the new tires. How could I resist? he said as his wife posted bond.
Heard it first here.

Actually I have a little bit more fixing to do before it's ready for prime time, though it was great fun going for a ride today through the fields.
Tires still have too much air in them, going to make them cushy. Seat is way too hard also, set up for prior owner who I'm told was large, very large, so
the suspension seat must be cranked up full hard. My first Oh My when I took off the floor mats. Stupid design, let water get caught underneath and this little tractor lived outdoors.
so I had some rot to clean up. Might weld a reinforcement over the swiss cheese area, then covering it all with a rubber mat. For now I cleaned it up and rustfixed it. it won't live outdoors anymore... Cleaned up the three point area, primed and painted that. Whole thing cleaned up nicely, though the exterior remains an extended blue tape project. At least it's functional now.

In between waiting for the wheel paint to dry, I cut 2x6's for the carryall and found I was one short. Sigh.
And in between that I moved a lawn sprinkler every half hour watering new grass seed. So a lot of up and down today and I'm worn out.
Oh, and I finished painting the Gravely wing mower frame. The list got done. Now time to find a movie and chill.

Good pic of my drunken farmer neighbor tending his vegetable garden, thankfully running a weeder. I honestly don't know the model JD,
not enough visual clues left...:rolleyes:

Might suggest a little Quaker compassion for your fellow man?

Thall, if you stayed up with this thread, and saw what I do for this guy, you would not make such a statement

Mr. Thall;

Perhaps you take some time and actually read this thread before making such an un-informed suggestion?

Drew has spent significant time and money to help his neighbor!

That’s what good neighbors do.

Worked on the deck at the rental. I was going to replace the bad boards only, but after replacing a few, I've decided to replace all of them, just to make it look better. Actually liked doing it, I'm glad that I can still do this kind of work.

Have a good one!

Details. We need details. Tractor napping, conspiracy, bond - Sounds like we need to gather up the posse.
Who was this masked man?

Just more PC BS or a troll without a clue? Drew is likely this guys best, maybe only benefactor.

Good evening all. 59F for the start, high overcast, calm wind. Wind speed increased all day, High was 80F again, sky cleared for most of the day but overcast now back in time to mess with meteor shower tonight :( . Bike ride to start the morning off, finished mowing front yard, and cleaned spider/bug debris off some windows for wife.

Hey Drew, won’t you be my neighbor?:D

Ya mean I have to give you money too, mow your lawn, till your fields, scrape your driveway, bring you food and loan you tools and equipment too?
Sounds like job security to me...

Thall, my life and faith is built around good works. I believe in doing a kindness every day. This destitute drunken neighbor has gotten more than his fair share
of kindnesses. So don't worry about compassion being at play.

Hey Drew, if you don’t want to spend all your time with Randy....
We don’t have a vacant house available next door, but I think we could arrange for something.

I do stay up!

If you are comfortable continually denigrating this mans home, property and action, go ahead and continue.

We all have our problems and crosses to bear!

Good morning!
A mix of sun and cloud today, high of 68 and it is 51 now.

My new lawn mower arrived at the dealers' yesterday. Now they just have to dig it out of the 5 tons of other 'stuff' they got as well. It will be nice to plunk my butt down on a riding mower again. This is the first new one for me. All the others have been 'new to me', other peoples' headaches. ;)

50 high of 75 later today glorious fall day. Looks like first part of next week we get more much needed rain

Took a trip down south yesterday afternoon wife drives I ride five hours and 25 minutes record time for us. In a small community stoped at gas station to use the rest room and a nice young man holds the door open for me. Small token but was very impressed by his manners.

Looking for New hope the new lawn mower services you well

Mostly this time of year we get lots of spiders etc trying to get in. Our solution is spectrcide which seems to work

Toppop glad you got started on new garage

Beach weather 50 high of 78 for today glorious sunshine
