Good morning!!!!

We had a few days of sunny weather in the forecast so I decided a quick reroof of the 10x10 foot shed could easily be done. Well.....looks like the builder had free access to 1/2 inch plywood in 6 inch wide pieces. The roof and trusses were all made from this. It was very unstable so I decided to look deeper. Can I use glue on this truss or should I use epoxy? View attachment 607445
Of course now we have rain in the forecast and I’m pressed for time elsewhere. Looks like we will need a tarp.
Stay safe all!

That does NOT look good.

"Rick, I have all kinds of 3PH hydraulics. But very seldom use them. Mostly back blade and landscape rake. I would get 88" if your tractor is just a little short of PTO HP. But then I do not have tough TX grasses to cut. "

Thanks Ron. I'm wondering what your experience has been with 22 PTO HP running your flail rated at 30-65 PTO HP? Do you have to really slow down in deep or thick grass? Our pastures are Coastal Bermuda with some Bahia. The Bahia is difficult to get a clean cut in one pass with a rotary cutter.

I run a 68" flail from Betst Products, a LLC/Value Leader brand. It requires 30 HP, the PTO on the Kubota L3240 is rated at 26.5 HP. I end up advancing very sloooooooly when the grasses and weeds get high, and it leaves behind big clumps if I don't. I'd pretty much stick to the HP requirements stated by the flail manufacturer were I to do it again, and that would mean stepping down a size on the flail or upgrading the tractor...

A breezy sunny 43ºF as today’s low temperature. The upper level haze from those Canadian forest fires was pretty apparent. The present breezy sunny 61ºF is probably today’s high temperature. I took Brogen to the doggie gulag this AM in preparation for our Bronx Zoo experience starting tomorrow. A great day to putter around outside; too windy for flying insect pests.

Kyle- Thanks for the water level link

Bruce- At this point Brogen probably weighs more than the bear. That will change soon. That bear looks well fed. He’s probably a frequent visitor at dumpster at the drug/alcohol treatment center 1.5 miles away.

Phil- A nasty surprise. Good luck on the rebuild.

Bill- I wish you safe travels.

Ted- Our knees seem to to react similarly to the stresses we put on them. I walk like Frankenstein after I have been sitting for a while. Take care. Thanks for sharing your fog pictures.

Paul- Your strange musician friends appear pretty normal to me.

All the pictures are enjoyed.

I hope Randy checks in soon, In addition to Ed not posting, Irv has not posted in almost 2 months,

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

You don't need glue, you need an exterminator!:laughing: Yeah, not funny...

Kyle have you tried to use over ripe bananas as an ice-cream base. it will take on the flavors you add. Start by freezing the bananas.

That's how my wife makes smoothies. Yum.

Hope you'll go easy. That can be serious. Get well soon.
