Good morning!!!!

Had that happen about 6 months back, the ball retainer latch was too tight and not properly capturing the ball, I loosened it until got under the ball properly.

I have that retaining ring hang up all the time despite spraying lube in there like mad. I wonder if after time it has gotten bent out of shape.
We all like the sound of that final Kerplunk as the hitch falls down to the bottom of the ball.

I'm impressed the lawn wasn't dug up.

68 degrees for a low in the middle of the. night, 76 now and going for a high of 82. And we're under a flash flood watch today. Last night, the forecast was 100% chance of rain today, now down to 90%, but with 100% tomorrow, then 80, 60, 30% the rest of the weekend.:laughing: In other words, the NWS should just say it MIGHT rain this weekend in some places.:laughing: But so far, it's dry here.

Ooops, I must have upset someone by not believing the weather forecast. Yesterday evening, Fox news was forecasting up to about three and a quarter or three and a half inches of rain for our area. So yesterday evening, between 5 and 7 p.m. we got almost exactly 2" of rain (I could see my rain gauge from inside the house) and it was still raining. And now at 5:30 a.m., I went out and emptied the rain gauge and it was running over; five and a half inches, so I'm not sure how much rain we got, and how much was before or after midnight last night. And the NWS forecast is for 100% chance of more rain today.

Ditto what wngsprd said earlier.

In the 70's outside, grey, wet. Yesterday was a bust. Although the wife and I went grocery shopping. Something I have been doing myself for two years. Shall we say it was different? Better leave it at that. And, I was not the hungry one. LOL.

I don't think I even looked at the run-in until last night because the moon was so bright on that metal roof. Talk about changing the landscape. This AM, after I get some hay, I better go down there and start the insides. At least I am under roof now, cause the next six days it is rain off and on.

I really need to mow to reclaim my front "lawn". Unfortunate it is now mixed in with the hay fields. The mower seems OK now. I think that fuel line/tank/value/filter had an issue since day one. The other day when cutting, I wear ear protection, I picked up no surging sounds from the engine. They were always slightly there when mowing. I had thought it just being "normal" under load. If it dries up today, maybe I can give it another run. The grass is like a foot tall and thick. That's a great stress test. LOL.

It's the weekend! Have a great day all and be safe.

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 49° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 64° with partly cloudy skies. Lots of wind yesterday. Need to pick up branches around the yard. Trip to Menard's for some trim for Kitchen Island. Son and grandson have offered to come over and install the island weekend after next. So all I have to do is get trim ready for them. My arm say thanks.

Ed, never had to learn new math. But when I was young we had a family from NC rent one of my dad's apartments. Took months for me to understand what they were saying.

Happy Birthday Mrs Kyle !!!!

Bird, over 5 1/2" of rain.

Good Morning All.

60 right now...and that's where it's going to stay today.

Not much today...quick dump run to get rid of the beer cans and some bottles....quick stop at the bank. I think I wrote about a lower link pin on my snow blower binging stripped and needing replacement. I got two pins from the local Deere dealer and will take care of that today.
Might mow...grass doesn't really need it, but running the mower will mulch or blow the fallen leaves off the lawn.

Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 4:45AM. Partly cloudy. High 84F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.

Today is the equinox, the start of Fall, and from here on out the days will be getting shorter. Temps in the 80s and 90s this coming week will make it feel more like summer here, though.:confused2:

Anybody here used the Blue Sea line of electrical products in any of their projects? I need a fuse panel for the old BMW, and this one looks really nice...

Got a start on the aluminum panel that fuse box will mount to yesterday, and started collecting the parts to final mount the carbs. Should be an interesting day out in the garage today.

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend, and the rain doesn't get in the way of those of you fortunate enough to have it. The big wildfires around here are mostly contained now, but still burning enough to put a haze in the air unless the wind blows. Yesterday was another Red Flag day due to low humidity and those winds, so they're a two edged sword.

Good morning! Today is the first full day of Fall for us and thunderstorms and a cool front are pushing through. Temperature now is 74˚ but will get up to 77˚ before it plummets to 66˚. We are under a flash flood warning and had several intense thunderstorms last night. Whipper gladly slept inside.

After watching the Great British Cooking show last night I made Mom a carrot cake with lemon icing. I have never seen the British make a cake and icing without using flour, eggs, oil, sugar, or BUTTER, (lots of butter), but mine always comes out deliciously nutritious. That would be a challenge for them to make on their "technical challenge" day of cooking.

Happy Birthday to the Mrs. Kyle.

Edit ; Looks like there might be a delay in getting to Mom's, lots of flooded roads. Rains headed your way Kyle and Rick.
