Drew- Your house could grace the cover of any Home & Garden magazine. Actually many of you can. I can not
Thank you Jay. Trying to keep it "up" for sale but bad timing, lot of fussing and effort sort of wasted.

time for 103 degrees for 20 minutes.

Happy birthday Jays wife.

RIP, hope your horse gets well.

Changing tractor oil was an all morning job. Take off grapple, put on bucket, take off loader, before I could start. Got it done, with exactly enough oil left for the next change. Manual says 8.7 qts with filter, it takes 7.8 every time. And both sides gets drained.
Loader sat in sun while changing, already built up pressure in 2 lines, punch the pin and all good.
Now to do transmission filter. I have never done the shop vac trick to pull suction, going to try. Maybe not today.

I went and tried to remove the hst filter and I can’t budge it with a filter wrench. I don’t have a wrench big enough to go around it.

Looks great, Rick. :thumbsup:

How are you keeping yourself out of the poison ivy? That's a skill I have yet to master. Seems like if I see poison oak, I soon start itching..:muttering:

I have some HD leather gloves that the greenbriar thorns don't penetrate .. so use them for greenbriar vines and poison ivy vines.

PI reminds you to not "touch your face".

The motorcycle accessory outfit I use most often sells what they call Elkskin Ropers, a tough as nails but supple work glove that I've taken to using for yard work as well as riding. I used up a pair during the recent concrete work where they saw a lot of abrasion and frequent washings to get rid of the concrete dust. I also used them one afternoon to pull down some poison oak vines, and they got the same washing treatment with no ill effects to me afterwards. But if I'm not careful to put them on before they dry out fully, they're hard as rock and useless unless soaked again. So now I'm looking for some synthetic gloves that are durable and don't mind a good washing.

All thats in addition to stripping down to my birthday suit in the laundry room and throwing everything I had on into the washer, then taking a shower under cool water while abrading my skin with a lufa type scrubber. Even then I still usually get a spot or two somewhere on my body a day or two later.:muttering:

This is the best cleanser and anti-itch I've found.

Tec Labs TECNU CalaGel: Medicated Maximum Strength Anti-Itch Gel 6 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CCW17/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_MXiPEb8C6FZSX

We've got quarters down at the shop with it's own bathroom, shower, and laundry. All my work clothes get washed there instead of laundry room at the house.

Here are the leather gloves I have. The cuffs keep exposed wrists protected.
