Good morning!!!!

Dad said tractor was overheating, I was going to run to Ohio. My brother in law looked at it and cleaned radiator. Dad thought it was clean, but it wasn’t.

The 5030 Kubota will overheat with a small amount of obstruction on the radiator and the pull out radiator filter. It happened on mine several times and cleaning the radiator and filter solved the problem.

A typical Kenyan meal consists of ugali (a type of cornmeal porridge), sukuma wiki (collared greens), ndengu (stewed mung beans), and chapati (a tortilla-like bread made with wheat flour), all homemade.

maybe your daughter can ask for not too spicy on the mung beans.
the "pride" of Kenyan food, likely because it is scarce and expensive, is a barbecued meat dish called nyama choma

I am tired just looking at the plan for the trip:

1. Nairobi, Kenya: Oct 16-18 - visit the Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and the Karen Blixen Museum.

2. Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya: Oct 18 - 21 - wildlife safari and annual wildebeest migration (usually between July and October).
⁃ We can do a fly-in safari or drive in (I’d aim for drive in because overland is a good way to see everything. I’d opt for Fly-in options only if we need to save time)
⁃ Giraffe Manor
⁃ Also consider Hells Gate National Park and the Geothermal spa there

3. Amboseli National Park, Kenya: Oct 21-23 - Mount Kilimanjaro and spot elephants, lions, and other wildlife against the backdrop of the mountain.
⁃ Lodging: Serena Safari Lodge (one option)

4. Zanzibar, Tanzania: Oct 23 - 25: Stone Town, snorkeling, or boat trip.
⁃ Lodging: Melia Zanzibar as an option Hotel Melia Zanzibar, an elegant luxury hotel in Tanzania | Melia.com
⁃ Zanzibar Serena Hotel

5. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: Oct 25 - 27: Witness vast open plains teeming with wildlife, including lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes. The Serengeti is renowned for its incredible game drives.

I have to pull out the radiator screen about every other mowing to blow up on my LS

That appears to be all it was. Dad just can’t see down in there. He mowed about 2.5 hrs today and said it didn’t overheat.
When I was there I blew it out every time I came in for a break.

We are not under any warnings here, but the sky was getting very dark on the way home from dinner.

And I got something in one tire on the way home. Like my 4th flat tire this year. I will deal with it tomorrow.

Fritz, prayers sent for a good outcome for your daughter. Sounds like quite a trip she will be taking!

Don, thanks for the coffee grounds article. We will be implementing saving the grounds for the plants.

Successful materials run. I even got some sheet steel to put solid sides on the trailer. If it's windy again tomorrow (now forecasted to be worse than today), I'll have a couple things to work on.
Probably do the trailer first, then it will be ready to get some gravel next week (without loosing 1/4 of the load). I tried to convince the wifey that we NEEDED a dump trailer..... I must be loosing my touch --A "no go" from the start......

Our "monsoon season" official start was today..... they are already calling it a "non-soon" season, being there is no precip in the 10 day + forecast.....

Time to put the feets up.....

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.3C and it's presently 15.5C, mostly grey cloudy yet fairly calm. Wind is expected later on.

Mostly contacting organisations that require my new CC details... as I remember them. I'm also cleaning out folders/stuff on this desktop computer in anticipation of heading into Launie to upgrade to a new one. I'll let 'them' transfer the data from one to another.

That's about it, take care all.

I have been kicking around getting a dump trailer.
Thought about going to lot to mow tomorrow, but calling for rain there and here Don’t want to drive 4 hrs and not be able to mow, then 4 back. Tomorrow makes 4 weeks already. Should have went today, but I was preparing to go to Ohio to check out the tractor.
Pebbles has been fast asleep in the other lazyboy.

Did hoe garden some tonight and watered.
