Good morning. It was 75ｰ and humid this morning and our forecast says 90ｰ this afternoon. Luckily .. we had a nice breeze this morning.

We've got four large live oaks of which the branches of two overhang the lane off the main drive to the house. My supervisor advised that it would be appreciated if I trim up the low limbs the she had to drive her SUV under. That became my project yesterday morning before it got hot.

I got out my trusty HF 40 volt pole saw and got busy. I don't like to do major tree trimming, when it's hot but .. managed to trim up lowest branch tips to about 10 ft. above the driveway.

The branches of another live oak, in the front yard, were so low I couldn't get under them to mow, with the zero turn, so I worked on that with the 40 V pole saw this morning.

After getting all the trimmed limbs to a burn pile, I went to get on the ZT to do some mowing under the trimmed trees. Nope! Left side tire was flat. I grabbed my portable pancake air compressor, to inflate the tire but that was a no go .. indicating the inside bead was broken. I jacked it up, grabbed my pneumatic impact and removed the tire, only to find a piece of about 14 gauge steel wire in the inner sidewall.

I'll try a plug, after lunch but .. likely it won't hold in the sidewall. A new tire (26x12-16) is about $170 or I can get a complete new wheel and and tire for $208. This is an uncommon size and seems to be hard to find. I can't imagine how many $$$ it would be at the Kubota dealer. I need to make a decision this afternoon.

Welcome .. to our new members.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Prayers to all.

Break it down and use a patch with the plug that goes in from the inside and then if you can find one you use a sidewall boot patch over it.

Thanks, I would prefer the Lexan

I would think about contacting my homeowners insurance,
I believe that mine has a different deductible for glass.

Is home with fever, chills and shortness of breath. She is/was a wound nurse.

Good one.
With all the windows I have in my house. I have a windows rider. No deductible.

Sodamo, Another check with insurance co. When my lawnmower broke a double-pane window the repair was going to be $250 but to my surprise I had no deductible on glass breakage.:cool2: and I did not even have a window rider.

Prayers for your best friends wifes sister

 

[sodamo]

Thanks for insurance suggestion. Will do.

Grilled, marinated zucchini
Even Sophie liked it. Kekoa, not so much. Begged for a taste but spit it out. Guess he was hoping for meat flavor.

Extra prayers for friend’s sister, Drew
