I definitely use less fuel per acre to mow with the tractor and a 16’ pull behind PTO mower than I do with the 60” Exmark Lazer. If I miss a mowing and the grass gets high, the tractor uses more fuel to mow. It has enough power not to bog down in higher grass, so it doesn’t take any longer. And the tractor does that while running the air conditioning!

WB repair successful ... (y)

Four blueberry bushes watered and fertilized, three rhubarb plants and eighteen asparagus plants watered.

All plants in back in pots watered.

Took WB around front watered all the dahlias, caladiums, a couple of flower pots Woman finished up planting and the last two rows of squash and pumpkins.

Was kind of surprised that we didn't have more droopers than we did today ... despite me not watering most of the plants all day until late this evening.

Trying to generate some interest on running down to the local creamery for a treat.

The question is tongue weight. I think spec is max 375. 1000 pound golf cart, heavy part is over rear axle, and I'm about to put the rear axle at the very front of a single axle
trailer. Volvo not self leveling. If it sags, need to go to plan B, big aluminum ramps. This is what you usually don't worry about when you have a truck.
I often worry about tongue weight. But then I also usually load my trailer down.

You must be reading long range forecasts
Actually past years aftcasts.
Only 97˚F today + dust from Africa. The coolest day in the 10 day forecast. We are still in the never ending heat wave.
Next week Summer starts, can't wait.

Good early arvo. Very mild night with a low of only 8.4C, due to it being calm and overcast. Received 3.5mm of rain overnight. The high should reach 14C.

For me, mowing is pretty much over until the Spring due to my "State Forest Lawn Service" = Possums, Pademelons and Wallabies come in every night. :)

Take care all.

My brother in north central Ohio said there were 3 confirmed tornadoes Monday in his county.

Just did a WiFi call across starlink that worked ok. Starlink router is in garage for now, so weaker signal in room at far end of house, sometimes WiFi switches to the stronger signal on other mobley router.
Trying to understand this rotating view, says partially obstructed, so I moved dishy back out into yard, should have no obstruction now., but yet it complains.

I received my SL mesh router and placed in the tractor shed. While it does connect, reports Poor node signal. Move mesh node closer to main router or another node. Was hoping it would be stronger.

My guess would be if you elevate the dish (maybe on roof) you could clear the obstructions. The red areas are the obstructions.

Currently San Leandro California… birthplace of Caterpillar Tractor and home to lots of Industry that no longer exists here like Western Electric, Kellogg’s, Crown Zellerbach, Simpson Strong Tie, Kraft, etc…

County areas in WA where friends really hard hit is the Key peninsula… I’ve had issues outside Olympia… rural often means isolated and the crooks know this.
Just a sign of the times...

Not enough rental cars because brazen smash and grabs take vehicles out of service.

Beautiful Day today, ... and rain tonight

I had to go to the medical lab for blood work today, Dr requisitioned it 5 weeks ago - today was when I had time

There was a lot of excitement / urgency in the area today, with Law Enforcement on a major Man Hunt - praying that the matter was resolved, and everyone is safe.

10 eggs in incubator (this week), and I left a few more eggs under 3 broody hens -
hen 1) 7 eggs (earlier)
hen 2) 3 eggs (today)
hen 3) 2 eggs (today)

i checked on the (pending) Zero Turn - some progress being made on the fabrication :)

new Tires and Rims, and fog lights, for the '93 Silverado should be here this weekend (that was a trade for my Cutlass project) - no cash out of pocket

curious if there are any other Dave Ramsey fans out there ?, and/or do you follow other financial personalities ? I follow several of them (asking out of interest, not intending to start a debate)

I need to catch up on this thread again - lol

Hi Everyone, Good Evening

daugen - the tape measure comment made me snicker (my mind wanders :) ), Roomba mower sounds like a great idea, nice golf cart
conch fritters ? - I had to look that up as I had no idea what they were. They look delicious (from internet photos) ... I'll be they taste like chicken - ha
txdon - mowing has been limited due to 1) wet weather and 2) equipment status
stay safe in the heat zones
RedNeckGeek, & rswyan - you've been busy
buckeyefarmer - flag day is great, my flag only has two of those colours 🇨🇦. the ZT mowing is encouraging to me, being a newbie
Kyle - i hate it when that happens ... ads are annoying, commercials can be funny though
toppop52, & sodamo - all the best with the vision, glasses
alien - my wife is considering a Pride brand mobility scooter, pretty nice stuff
LS - good work with the planters
Thomas - excellent, my '93 Silverado and I relate to that
mostly_gas - i have a few leads on the knee brace idea, i will find the paint tomorrow

Can’t say a fan, but I’ve always followed what he taught as far as not carrying CC balance, paying down high interest first, just trying to not accumulate much debt. Pretty much did this independent of knowing his teachings. Some things he’s pushed I have disagreed with.
Spend less than you make is good advise for all.
