77F and partly cloudy @ 12:45, heading up to a high of 79F.

Hawk was screaming around back for the longest time a bit ago, not sure what that was all about.

UPS delivered plant order a little bit ago that was due in tomorrow ... (y)

Agenda for today:

Finish mowing down here around the house.

Finish service on Kubota. Basically done at this point, except for some greasing and replacing rubber on the pedals. Forgot to unhook the electrical connection for the diverter valve when I took the loader off last night so I'll have to repair the wiring going into the loader-side Weather Pack connector too.

Beyond that, probably more clean up in the garage, get rid of old fluids, etc.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)

RS, did you ever get that zerk fitting to pump grease? You've really worked on that thing.

in addition to my new truck woes, in fact the same day the dealer sent a third email saying end of year,
I get a call from driver of JD dealership that just picked up my 12 hour X390 mower to bring back to dealership
and install powered leaf system that was back-ordered when the mower bought.
Ah, Mr A, did you have any front end and grill damage on your mower?
say what...um, no, it was like brand new.
Oh, I don't know how to explain this, hood didn't fit right, blah blah.
No, honestly it was like new and I just blew it off with a leaf blower and walked a 360 on it before you picked it up.


Bottom line is he loaded my mower two inches behind a JD 2 series tractor and I bet when he hit the brakes the mower went forward into
the small tractor's three point hitch and boogered up something.
Well....JD dealers gets a big attaboy, they promised me the tractor Saturday and it's coming back today with a brand new hood and I hope the bagger system on it.
I'm ready to suck some leaves.

now this is interesting: sales guy saw the truck come into his dealership and he just emailed me:
I was standing outside when he pulled into our lot, and I was immediately concerned with the proximity of the 3-point hitch to your tractor.

that sort of sums it up. Guy has been driving for them for 20 years with zero problems.
Stuff happens.

69°F and .43 inches rain.

Information, either correct or challenged to be correct has long been a TBN strength- the main reason we came here. The good people - the big big bonus and why we hang around.

Cottage tenant got 30 cuyd concrete pour yesterday. They asked us up to see latest progress. Place is looking good, but I think they may be disappointed that it will be likely not be completely finished Nov.

H&F this afternoon

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Stuff happens Drew. Good standup by the dealer. Nice truck!

Well, we may be back to the soil, design phase on the septic. Install guys show up for a site prep, break out the laser and....the questions start rolling.

Full stop.

They will take their concerns, which may be of great benefit to us, back to the analysis phase/people.

Keep your fingers crossed.

No rain yet....guess I need to break the mower out on that back lawn.

I forgot to say, RS, I did a filter change on the wifes tractor the other day. Was supposed to be transmission.

Read up on it, and if you do it quick enough, no fluid loss.

Well I park on a hill, get all ready, get the filter loose....and well it is pouring out of there. I mean like.....pouring... slap new filter back on, hmmmm...that did not feel right.

Go look at manual, yeah, wrong side of tractor. I did the hydraulic and not the transmission.

At least I got the filter right.

Went and got a new transmission filter, do the hill parking, and wallah! Change filter and top off the fluids. All is well.

Never read a manual upside down.

Nice truck Drew, welcome back to the Ram club.

Got the grass mowed so far, plan to grill ribs and thighs later.
We are planning a trip up to Smyrna DE tomorrow to visit a brother in law and check out his new building, after a pass through Ocean City to check out the classic cars at the Endless Summer Cruise. Then back to Salisbury for my grandson’s ballgame. Looks like a busy day.
