I took one of those Makita pumps along with me when I picked up the new-to-me trailer, Drew. It had been sitting a l-o-n-g time, and none of the tires registered more than 20 PSI. I didn't measure the time it took to get each one up to 40PSI, but it was in in the 3-5 minute range. There's no lock down on the trigger, so it was a bit of a PITA hunching down on the ground to hold down the trigger. It's a lot better than nothing, but there are probably options out there that are better suited to automotive applications. I wouldn't buy one again.

I have the Milwaukee, you can set the desired pressure and walk away until it automatically shuts down. Son has a Makita, but I’ve never used it. Holding the trigger would be a non starter for me.

That Moon last night was something else.

57F this morning was a summer record low.

A good time for getting caught up on bushhogging and enjoying the beauty of the Universe.

Good Morning.
62 heading to 74 today. Partly cloudy becoming clear with a nice breeze. Good day to be outside.

Yesterday was inside doing paperwork almost all day, today I will postpone paperwork until after I get some mowing done. I’m going to get the tractor out, hook up the mower and empty a tube or two of grease into it before I start though.

Not much else to report, creating and printing reports to put in binders for audit doesn’t create many photo ops. But having all the data organized and at my fingertips, makes for a much shorter visit from the regulators. First group is tomorrow, the TSA is in a couple weeks.

Looking forward to greasing the mower after my bowl of cereal…..

Not sure what is on agenda for today. Lots needs done, but not motivated.
Still trying to figure out best material to make new cellar doors for dad.

I can hear the vibrating roller, so they are paving today down the road.
Too chilly to sit outside.
Been almost 3 weeks since I mowed the lot. Could mow here, some needs it, some doesn’t.

Morning all;
A beautiful morning out here 56F sunny and supposed to stay under 80F this afternoon and NO rain. But starting to heat back up Friday and next week with way too much humidity.

Had an interesting experience yesterday, decided to cut down a dead pear tree in the yard, went through 3 saw chains and I think one is ruined, the other two can be resharpened. Not sure what was going on the center of the tree was rotten and just a brown powder but it must have been very abrasive or something, as soon as the chains got into it they dulled and heated almost instantly. The last chain I stopped trying to cut through the tree and just cut around it trying to avoid the rotten center. Did manage to drop it close to were I wanted to. Almost 24 inches in diameter may dig the stump out today, may not. Did order a pack of 3 new Oregon chains this is a Harbor Freight Atlas 80V saw.

Another County fair just a bit South of me this week, Rennsealear County in Schaghticoke their out of the field tractor pulls are Friday.
They have implemented a new rule for turbo charged diesels at many of the fairs this year as a result of the accident earlier this year.
ATTENTION:
Street Diesel Trucks with vertical exhaust and ALL Turbo Charged Tractors Pullers!!

Cross Bolt Update: In addition to the existing 2 cross bolt rule, it is STRONGLY encourgaged that All Turbo Charged Engines meet the following guidelines with regard to cross bolts in the exhaust pipe:

There should be one set of two (2) 3/8" minimum Grade 5 Bolts in the Horizontal Portion of the exhaust pipe(s) - as close to the turbo as possible. Bolts are to be installed at 90 degrees to each other and within one inch of one another. A second set of two (2) 3/8" minimum Grade 5 Bolts are to be installed within two inches of the first set. (Horizontal portion of the exhaust pipe.) Those should be installed at 90 degrees to each other and are to indexed 45 degrees from the first set of bolts.

Morning all, 62 going up to 78 and cloudy.

I have the Milwaukee M18 inflator, the set pressures work well, added a quick release chuck. Really handy to have around.

Wife apologized last night,

Be well,

65 and breezy/cloudy from Idalia...but I can see clear skies to the west...humidity already down...temps going up to 85. Peru has produced a tasty crop of coffee this year. :coffee:

Great moon pics, Ron and Bupps...it was cloudy here, but saw it peek through the clouds early this morning before it set.

Rip, hope you had a nice date day...nice sunset pic.

Ken, glad to hear it. Big hug.

Did some silicone caulking yesterday...rarely use the stuff...proud of the job. Did a mega dump run, had to help the Attendant lady reposition a big couch someone threw into the compactor so I could get a turn.

Then got in a hike for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Need to get my mountain legs back in shape...my son and I are planning a hike Saturday while the ladies are having a baby shower here for October-due baby Isabel.
