Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

63.0F going to mid 80s chance of…

Harry happy to be back, Bailey not too thrilled… According to trainer’s partner, he is very “conversational”… so they are probably happy he is back home too . We did sign him up for Intermediate Training in October, so they will have him back for a month, so it can’t be THAT bad, can It? Although $$$ talks, and they know our checks clear…

Mrs said that the Druggies had some dramatics last night but I slept through it. i also slept through the squirrel scampering on the side of the house around 3AM… probably a flying squirrel:

Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel

so now I have to try to figure out how to dissuade the little bugger from hanging on the house and waking up Mrs. Yay.

today is primarily an administrative day, and later in the afternoon we will be returning to where Mrs got the doll collection because the guy has a pnother batch of items he wants to give away to us, so this run will be with the pickup truck since there are several decorative indoor artificial trees in the mix.

my working p-class blue collar family made sure I was going to not be a manual laborer so I went to a college prep high school, so no shop or other practical classes for me. I wanted to go to the VoTedh school, but I was outvoted... Now I am learning to PDW to run an excavator.

you can tell that whoever designed that poster probably doesn’t know which end of the screwdriver to hood…

I was lucky in that my grandparents were quite the DIYers and I learned a lot from them, from woodwork to upholstery and many other hands-on practicalities.

Tree work on Wednesday - I have to call and confirm that is still on schedule.


I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

Thanks. I have one on my grease gun now...am able to reach it fine...it just won't accept any grease...big blob quickly forms around the zerk. The zerk is on the rear universal joint on the drive shaft.

Good Morning wngsprd,
Sorry, I misread your post ! Could it be a defective zerk fitting ? Sounds similar to when I am trying to grease the cutter spindles on my old Wheel Horse C-125. I just think that they really dont need much grease, any excess just comes up through a pin hole in the spindle !
I have only replaced one spindle on the mower in 41 years !

All have a blessed day today !

Good Morning
66 with a high of 80 today, chance of scattered showers throughout the day.
Yesterday went almost as planned. Lazy day, take KubVan to RC field and fly the plane that I converted to electric.
The only pop up repairs were to plastic weld a leaking gas tank on a 17.5kw Generac generator and read the codes on a Prius to determine that a recently replaced coolant valve wasn’t plugged in. Connecting it solved the problem, and cleared the code.
Moved some hay from the shed to the barn and went to bed early to catch up on the sleep I missed on Saturday night.

Today I’ve got to pack up the speaker and get it to FedEx, cut a little sandblast mask for the Rockman, then back to Martha’s Vineyard this afternoon. Probably a Mission BBQ dinner after that.

Good morning, 65 going to 85 no rain

Weeded and seeded yesterday up in the fenced garden and got hoses hooked up and watering. Because it is so dry the deers eat plants that they normally would leave alone. And Raccoons I am sure are busy too. Had a groundhog that went under one of the building and was trying to trap it. Yesterday the bait was stolen but trap did not set. Reworked the trap a little to prevent that. This morning a raccoon was in it.

May mowe a bit today and also may string trim some.

Sitting on the balcony watching the deers with a cup of coffee

Pretty good run rate with that. I'd say.
