Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Another good day. I almost got the Laupahoehoe (North) end of the property done, just another half hour or so around the coconut palms along the drive.
Would have finished but newest neighbor walked over and introduced himself. Only an hour plus conversation. Sophie had warned me he liked to talk. He was still talking when I restarted the tractor. He claims to have a current quote on a Kawasaki SX that interests me. Said he would share info so I can talk with the guy.

Caretaker candidate returned and put in another 5 hours between the Scag and push mower, so the main area is nearly complete and looks nice.

Beautiful weather day.

Poured first cup of coffee. 64° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 79° with sunny skies in afternoon. Did not get grass mowed yesterday. Culvert ends have been dug out. Tractor needs a bath after that project. Grass mowing back on list for today.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

65 going to 85. Early taste of Autumn is over...it was delicious.

I told my wife about all the wonderful ways you cook your corn...she had to go to town, so picked up a couple of ears and we'll try out a method today. Ears were 20 cents...good time of year for them here.

Eric, sorry you had to say goodbye to such an old friend...you kept that bike looking like new. I guess Old Rag was named for how ragged/rocky it is. I'd love to hike in your Lake District. Old Rag is 1000 meters, like Scafell Pike.

Changed the oil on the zero yesterday...it snuck up on me...glad I already had a filter and oil for it on the shelf.

Good morning. Lots of sun for a change today, thermometer should be getting some mild exercise with a stretch to 22C/72F by this afternoon.

Are you going to replace the tube yourself, Eric? Not sure I'd try it on a tractor tire

The front ones are not too bad, especially as I am lucky to have a friend who has had lots of practice with much larger agricultural tires than mine. This time I took the complete wheel to a place that sold me a new tube and fitted it too, all for less than the price of buying a tube off the internet. They offer a mobile service too which would be very handy for larger tires - the older I get, the more tempting it is to pay others to do the heavy lifting.

I'd love to hike in your Lake District. Old Rag is 1000 meters, like Scafell Pike.

Wng, the lake district is very nice, although some of the more popular areas will I imagine be a lot more crowded than the trails you are used to. Walkers in Wales have also been making the headlines this week - so many people are going up mount Snowden, they have to queue for quite some time to get to the summit. Queue to view

53° right now...high in the mid-70's today and, like Thomas wrote above, showers today.

Doggie ramp is done...won't win any home beautiful contests, but it's functional. The anti-slip tape should be delivered today, then we'll train Margeaux to use the ramp. Margeaux is getting better at getting house broken, thankfully, but that's on us too.

I took my stepdaughter to the airport in Lebanon NH to pick up a rental car. I expect her Subaru will be fixed this week unless there's underbody damage. Gonna cost her $500 deductible no matter what...

Neighbor wasn't available to help me with those pallet forks. I don't knw why I thought they were 45 lbs....these go an easy 90 lbs. and the whole attachment is really well made. The "Deere" paint even matches pretty good. Couple small rust spots. I'll touch them up with some green Rust-Oleam

Started watching the old Bogart-Hepburn classic, "The African Queen" last night...finish that sometime today, I reckon

Good Morning!!!! 72F @ 4:15AM. Sunny. High 98F. Winds light and variable.

Took me a while to learn not use a flatted and repaired tube as a spare, Bruce. I don't think the patches liked being folded up and stuffed under a bicycle seat.

Beautiful ten-speed, Eric. I bet it was hard to let go of an old friend like that.

Cave kayaking sounds interesting, Paul. Hope to see some photos...

It's nice you're getting some help with the mowing, David. Has the candidate seen the work you're doing on his potential quarters yet?

Hope you don't have too much trouble with aches and pains getting out of bed this morning, Drew. That down on your knees stuff is tough.

Just need to get a couple of anchor plates welded onto the grizzly today and it'll be ready for a test run. Neighbor dropped by that gave me the pipe for the frame and seemed pleased with how it's turning out. He also brought a new gas nozzle for the MIG welder, as I'd lost the one that was on there, well half of it anyway. The outer part went flying somewhere, and I spent a good hour looking for it in a pile of rubble that had accumulated on a low shelf. It wasn't there, or course. The neighbor was already in town, and snagged a replacement for me at HD. Not long after I made my distress call to him, I walked a little way down the driveway and there was the wayward nozzle part. Made some adjustments to it so it wouldn't come off again, but it's beat up enough it really did need a new one.

While searching for the nozzle, I was finding better places to put the stuff worth keeping from that low shelf and stumbled across a paper bag on another mostly empty shelf. Inside was a bottle of red wine, along with a receipt from April of 2016. Right about the time of one of the Airhead's tech days where I'd invited a bunch of folks over to work on their motorcycles. Now I'm wondering of one of them hid the bottle as a sort of Easter egg I'd find later.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, Eric. When I pulled the back wheels off the M62 to install the spacers, I was very careful to have a spot picked out where I could lean them against the wall where they wouldn't fall over. I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get them upright again had one of them gone over, and they're not even loaded with anything.
