Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

A one off cooler day today. They reckon no more than 22C / 72F, which sounds good for walking the railway boundary and spraying off the brambles that are creeping into my hay field.

Kyle, if you try your gurgling shop vac trick, it would be interesting to see a picture. Soaking up 12 gallons of hydraulic oil off the floor would need an awful lot of cat litter

Buckeye, did you go ahead and replace all the anti freeze in your ground loops? The low toxicity stuff approved for underground use is really expensive here.

Good morning all, 62 going to 84 with am fog. Did nothing yesterday, but I did win at cards. Weather thing says we got almost 1 1/2 of rain but the pool is up almost 3 in. Think I believe the pool.

Kyle, Dad used to set the ford jubilee on a hill to adjust the TPH. Worked well, at the least it would be less spilled. :2cents:

Have a great day, prayers sent. Ed

68 and raining right now...today, the high will be in the low 80's and rain. This is a nice steady soaker, which we needed badly. Doubt if there's any outdoor work today except for a dump run.

Well I managed to slip in my first oil change on my ZTR this afternoon between showers. Easiest oil change vehicle I've ever had. A bonus was the filter wrench for my Tundra also fits the oil filter on the mower.

But I think I messed up and will have to change it again tomorrow. I used regular Mobil 1 synthetic 10W30 - API SN...as soon as I finished I got to thinking about the oil API I use for my tractor started with a "C" so looked it up at the API site and saw that sure enough SN is for gas engines and my mower manual called for CF or better. I've always used nonsyn 15W40 in my tractor and was excited to move to syn on the ZTR. So didn't have my thinking cap on when I bought the oil.

Back to the store tomorrow.

Think I'm safe to reuse the new filter after letting it drain?

Anything I add to this would be dated, but years ago, I was told by some experts that there's no problem with using a non-diesel rated oil in a diesel engine, as long as you change it more frequently; i.e., leave it in about half as long as you would leave a diesel rated oil.

74 degrees going for 98 today. The last rain we had was on June 26, so it's drought conditions for us. I've got soaker hoses running this morning around the foundation.

Tornado watch for my area last night. We made out with just thunder storms. Had some heavy downpours through the night. Looks like a hot and humid week coming up. Stay safe all!

Poured first cup of coffee. 59° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 89° with sunny skies. Temperature is getting to the point where it's a stay in day. Good day to go to Xfinity store pick up new phone. Got retainer wall blocks leveled and back in place. My arm said enough already. Put tools in golf cart and called it a day. Still need to put some top soil, weed barrier and mulch. It can wait a few days.

Kyle, I have been reading the book. Up to Question and Answer 46. Some very scary stuff. Not sure I am going to finish reading. It is what it is. Will deal with it when and if it happens. Book I linked is for sale. This may be a better place for info.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

headed downtown to pick up some more canned two stroke, like to alternate using it with the regular premix.
Helper coming to do lots of weedeating and supply is low. TSC opens at 8am and I will be there.

I'm never going to moan about the hot sticky weather after reading this article.
the heat index must have been amazing. Like you are a stalk of broccoli going into the steamer...
