Good Morning
52 with a high of 60 under misty clear skies, another nice day.
Yesterday’s Zoom meeting was pretty painless, I got a lot of loose ends tied up in the shop.
I had a friend water jet a piece of stainless sheet to repair the rear deck on the Progressive mower due to the previous owner not being as diligent as I am about cleaning it off after every use.
Something went wacky with the .dxf file that I sent him and one 5-1/4” hole didn’t get cut, so I cut it out with a hand plasma cutter and circle guide.
Not as nice as the waterjet, but acceptable nonetheless.
Next project was to build up a spare wheel and tire for the same mower. It’s got 12 tires, so it will get used. But boy, I sure hate changing those little tires. (15-6x6). I’ve got a HF tire changer for them, but it still sucks.
While at the restaurant for lunch, I noticed that there was some some sort of weed tree taking over the dumpster enclosure, so I came back loaded for bear with the the little Stihl 6” chainsaw, and the Makita 14” saw and hedge trimmers to make short work of it.
Small price to pay for lifetime free meals.
Today will start with breakfast with the professor, wife is coming along, and son is going to join us after he drops grandson off at nursery school.
Costco run after that, then who knows what I’ll get into.
