Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 9:45AM. Mostly cloudy this morning. A few showers developing during the afternoon. High 61F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
There's no place like home, Randy.
Bet that 72" deck'll save you some time, Rick.
The RidgeRunner looks like a toy compared to the
TraxxRF by Alamo. But for $62K for a used one, it's a lot cheaper (and easier) just to let the grass grow on those hillsides! Nice try, Rick:laughing:
Nice'n'cool yesterday morning, so I decided to try out the $150 repair job the Stihl dealer had done on the hedge clippers. Saw started right up, but when I took the Kubota side-by-side by the fire ring, a sidewall clipped a rock and started hissing. Made it back to the garage and found an inch and a half gash, too much for the tire sealant inside. With no easy way to carry off the clippings, I got another tire on order and fell back to plan B: more carb work. Finished assembly of the first one just as the neighbor, my buddy with the trailer, and his wife came down to say hi. We all enjoyed a peak at the blossoming lupines, but her eye was caught by the large Jeffersonian sage plants I hadn't got to trim. She asked for a pair of pruning shears and went to town cutting sprigs to sprout so she'd have some of her own. Then her old man gave me a hand fishing a new wire in the trailer, and showed me how the new fenders will mount. He had his hands full cleaning up three fairly large oaks that came down in yesterday's wind, so I offered to give him a hand. In his usual style he declined, saying it wasn't that big a job.:confused2: They had to get back home, so I hitched a ride to the top of the driveway with them in his restored Bronco, which was bucking like one. He told me a tale of swapping Diesel #2 into a transport tank he normally uses for gas, and how too much of the #2 remained in it when he switched back. We made it to the top, though, and I watched them lurch on down the road as they left.:laughing: Carb #2 went into the ultrasonic cleaner, this time with Stoddard solvent in it, but didn't get much of a cleaning. Today I'm gonna try some aircraft grade Simple Green and see how that does.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
This could finally be the "RC Toy" with which my wife approves. Thanks for sharing. I got curious about this unit and rollover angle:
