Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Was in 50s this morning, now 60°. More rain overnight and more rain today.

Need to sharpen my mower blades. I have a lift from tsc, that has a safety catch.

Wow, 6 posts since i started typing mine.

Another very nice morning.. gusts of wind intermittently... Took one wheel off of travel trailer Friday night and measured grease seal so we can get new seals before taking anything else apart. Research resulted in finding it at etrailer.com and spent several hours driving around Saturday to see if we could find them locally. The places that likely had them in stock were all closed on the weekend... We came home and I ordered them online. They'll be here Thursday in time for me to repack bearings next weekend.

Stay safe all

70°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 90° today. Chance for some storms later this evening.

Got the blades sharpened on the zeroturn Saturday morning for The Wife to mow at least part of the yard. We have an overhead I-beam crane near the door in the barn that I use to lift the mowers for blade work. I use a heavy duty tow strap around the front of the frame, and always put a pair of jack stands under them.

Wife got about half of the yard cut, and I'd made two passes around the perimeter of the pasture, when nature decided we were done for the day. Heavy storms rolled through the area with lots of lightning and wind, and the rain lasted through most of the day. We went inside and watched a couple of movies.

Back at it Sunday. Got the rest of the pasture cut (first time this year, and it was three feet tall) in the morning while The Wife finished the yard. After lunch, I spread the rock & lime that arrived last week over the remainder of the upper driveway. At least Sunday was semi-productive.

Hope you guys on the mend are doing well.

Claye, hope your wife heals quickly.
And make sure not to mix the whites with the darks in the washer!


Gardening club lady showed up to help, mostly to pick, sent her home with a ton of stuff, said she can't wait to bring
her husband back. I got her really hooked on my blackberries.
I had some in my fridge and gave her a nice cold one and we laughed when our reaction was the same.
Better than sex...

dark out and looks like it's going to pour, but nothing on radar.
Changed all my clothes out, sopping wet, now back out to grease some mowers.

the very best part of this morning was I confirmed I actually have some corn growing. Pulled two small
ears and they were fully formed white and yellow kernels inside, probably a mutt from my white corn and yellow corn
cross pollinating. I gave the first two tiny ears to my helper, but now I know I have to be on the hunt.

Good morning. Warm and dry for the next couple days down here.
Spent the weekend in Austin to celebrate my cousin's birthday. She has terminal cancer and we made a big deal of the birthday celebration to cheer her up. Seeing her smiles made the 10 hrs round trip drive worth while.

67°F and .06 inches rain

Time to cash in the recycles, refill a propane, get some gas for the mowers.

Prayers for all

Be safe
Have a great day

Went thru Durango this time last yr. Rode the train there in 2007.

There's talk that this fire was started by the train throwing out an ember....no confirmation though. They shut down the train now until at least August. Loss of a tremendous tourist revenue for the area.

I also use a pneumatic impact wrench which really speeds up blade changes.

So do I, much quicker, safer and easier. Compressed air is our friend.

Load of clothes in the wash, chowing down a ham and turkey sandwich with my first local tomato on it, that plastic sure gets them a head start. Finished last week’s redskins, too. Cloudy and sprinkles with east wind blowing stiff. Made it up to 63 with exactly .5 inches of rain since midnight. Almost 2” since yesterday and around 4 since Saturday here, nearby communities got up to 5” yesterday alone.
