Good morning!!!!

LOOK MA, NO WHEELS.
I can't remember (nothing new) who I promised a photo of some tractors that operate in our vege farming district.
I THINK one guy was from Texas and another from North Ohio? Maybe Idaho>
Anyway there are several different makes, red, blue and green that are converted like this and I managed to snap a pic today without arousing too much suspicion. 2nd pic shows the power steering converted to a hydraulic cylinder that turns the trailer.
Some of the JD guys might be interested in this one. You can zoom in on the images if you want.

Good morning. It's still 70F at 1:10 here. Hope it goes lower nearer to sunrise. Fans are roaring to cool down the house. Today is the beginning of our PNW heat wave. Brownie & I are going on a short drive today. We'll be holed up for the next week or so as the local temp go over 100F. Tuesday is predicted to hit 109F. I just hope the weather forecasters are as accurate about this coming heat wave as they are about the winter storms.

good morning all
thankfully no heat wave here, yet...., 52 going up to 82 today in nice weather.

I'm up early because I slept really well. Tried something different yesterday, refuse to take opioids but instead doubled
up on my arthritis meds and tripled my hydrocortisone, both of which I take normally and now back on "stress" level.
Endocrinologist told me six months ago to double or triple normal dose if my body was stressed, like due to an operation.
I forgot....so maybe this is why my body is healing so slowly.
Now that I'm pretty well dosed up, hope to get through PT with less pain this morning and accomplish more than I have.
Taking a nice batch of home grown beets to PT therapist this morning, they look really good. Will get more pics tomorrow.

now about those Sony headphones...I have now tried to charge mine up twice, and after ten minutes the announcement comes
turning off, and off it goes. ?? I might have to return this pair, hope not, they are well made and comfortable.

be careful with the heat out there guys

daugen, you shouldn't need to have them on to charge them. Or am I interpreting it incorrectly?

Back not hurting today...Yay! Thanks for the thoughts.

LOL, I changed the cabin air filter in the Yaris...it was nearly full of dust/dirt/bugs/leaves. I wonder how it flowed at all.

Malibu gave a check engine light, mechanics call it a "slow O2 sensor" It's working, but it must've not worked/reported good enough for a moment, to set a CEL. Of course I had my ODB sensor in the yaris....

Good news for Sophie!

Popgadget, you need all those makitas to make speakers, and keep that montessa going.

Billy, you mind the nurse and take it easy. It's hard to sit and lay around when you're used to doing stuff. I could come give you some lessons on how to be a good couch potato.

Put some Slime in the Beast's smaller rear tires. They are fairly old and weather cracked.

My buddy bought his grandpaw's old, old Kubota a few years back. It is a twin cylinder with a 60" mower deck. He told me he needs new tires, and they want over $200+ apiece for the rears.

Drew, It would seem maybe your nosy neighbor might be a 42nd cousin or something like that, since your family has been around the area for so long.

Mostly, have fun water skiing. I took the family to the Battleship of Texas a couple of years ago, and to the San Jacinto monument right across the street. Both are good places to stop and learn.
Here's their webcam, that you can watch the Houston Ship Channel by day and lots of lights at night.

Gave the daughter some more manual transmission driving lessons in the Yaris tonight. We are now shifting gears, and driving slow on backroads. She wants to be "cool" and know how to drive a stickshift.

I bought oil and filters to change the Malibu and yaris engine oil, and I bought synthetic transmission oil to do the Malibu's tranny.

Not sure when I'll get to it, we are planning a day trip this weekend.

Roy, glad the audits are done.

Prayers for our team.

My wife has an automatic drivers licence. One day she was driving my business van down the highway and a cop decided to check her out. It was a manual which she has no problem driving. He asked her why she was driving it. She said our other car was getting serviced. He told her she was naughty and to get straight home! No ticket.

I have charged them overnight twice. I put them on and within ten minutes the voice comes on telling me it's turning off.
sounds like battery is not charging

Drinking first cup of coffee. 66° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. Got some parts of table and chairs sanded and first coat of stain and paint on then. Helped neighbor trim trees and haul branches away in evening. Grocery shopping this morning and then back at table chairs.
Thistles are blooming.

Alien, neat tractors.

Kyle, good you are getting cars running without CEL. I replace all the tires on my JD mower last year. $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

David, lots of things for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace that have notes saying the cannot help load. Most of them have not sold.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

I didn't turn mine on...just plugged them in to the PC...red light came on and a few hours later, it was off.
I didn't try them last night, but as I'd written, I'll see how they do today...

In this part of the world I never heard of a drivers license specifying manual or automatic transmission.
