Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Pulled the battery out of the Z-turn at noon today. Charger said it was at 80%, after sitting outside all winter. Not bad. Put it on charge and at 4 P.M. it was 100%. Stuffed it back in the mower. Most of the work was done on my knees with the arm rest supporting my chest. It is easier on my back that way. Tomorrow I will fire up the Z-turn and at the very least run the motor for a few hours to run the fuel out of it that was left in last fall. The good thing is it was high test, zero methanol. Today was T-shirt weather and I was sweating.
Tomorrow is forecast to be the same.

Friday I hope to go over to Pemberton NJ to retrieve my Gravely. Yeah. After three years, it's coming home too. Really missed that piece of equipment.

Why has it been gone for 3 years, if I may ask?

Good evening. Lovely drive up from town to the cottage today, bringing up 3000 pounds of Vinyl flooring. Had to split it between my F150 and the wife’s Toyota 4runner.

Weather was nice and sunny, 82°F. Had a lovely time after we arrived going down to the dock, and watching the sunset with the dog for the first time this season. Ice is starting to come off the lake, but it is just our little bay that you see below.

It will
be a busy weekend, unloading the flooring, moving some firewood over, starting to get the rental property, ready, etc. etc. etc.

But I love it!

Everyone enjoy the weekend!

Coffee is brewing. 54° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 73° with rain and thunderstorms in afternoon. Forecasted rain and thunderstorms never showed up yesterday. Will see how well todays forecast works out. More rocks to take out of pond. Have been limiting how many I take out each day to keep from injuring my left shoulder. Some of them weigh 50 lbs. Got half of them out.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
1.24 rain total last night, really nice soaking rain
mid 70s and clouds today

TwoBit, I got really sick three years ago, sold my farm in NC, was not expecting to get out of assisted living for rest of life, but
could not bear to sell the Gravely. So I gave it to an old friend near here who has had two wheel Gravelys a long time. He had a garage and stored it for me,
using it once or twice a year. When I got my health back, it was time for the Gravely to come back to me.
I also gave away my boat, my Kubota UTV, my log splitter, etc etc etc.
At least on my trip to Michigan in July I will be reunited with my dual console Scout 16 and will get to drive it again. My brother and his grandchildren love using it on the Lake, am happy they keep it.
When I got sick, and with a very poor prognosis, my family sold off 99 percent of what I owned. Having this machine come back to me is important to me.

here's a pic of my oldest brother driving the Scout on Lake Michigan. I'm really excited to drive it again.
All his grandchildren are girls, so they named the boat Girl Scout.

did not go food shopping yesterday, will do so this morning.

Good morning,
49° now high’s in the mid to upper 50’s and cloudy, may see some showers late afternoon early evening, winds NE around 5 mph.

Yesterday was a productive day outside after the morning dump run, stick pick up, most of the garden cleaned up. Took down a mostly dead 15’ Japanese maple, not sure what if anything will replace that, still need to dig out the stump.

Not sure what today will bring just take it as it comes.

Enjoy your day everyone

Prayers for all silent or spoken scaredy our Country Ukrainian people
