Good morning!!!!

Installed the gearbox on the mower as well as the spindle under it today. Not having a second person to hold the spindle up under the deck makes it interesting and a few tricks had to be found.

Wish I had the modification that Ron made to the deck to stretch the spring for the belt tensioner to put the belt back on the pulleys.

Drew those rental prices are up around 10 K per month and the area we were in are likely even higher. Hard to believe

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 14.0C, partly cloudy & somewhat calm. There was 4.3mm in the gauge @ 0900 due to yesterday afternoon & evening brief showers that the Weatherguessers had managed to 'CYA' with a 20% 'prediction'.

Received text messages from the "Mad Agisting Horse Woman" that there is an old & sickly possum nesting amongst her lucerne. I've seen it around the property, at non-nocturnal times, for a few days. Anyway, she'll need to arrange for it to be trapped and then we'll figure out how to humanely dispatch it.

In the meantime, it's 'into town' day for groceries.

That's about it, take care all.

69F, mostly cloudy and wet @ 20:45, heading down to around 64F for the low overnight.

Severe thunderstorms with tornados earlier, mostly up north but the winds really blew here and we did get some rain.

Finished up drilling all the holes and tapped the two #4-40 holes in the bracket, just have one little slot left to cut:

​

Original, in new condition:

Didn't drill a couple of the smallest holes as I don't think are actually used ... but I did mark them with a punch in case they are and I have to drill them later.

Was worried I'd break the #4-40 tap off since it's so tiny but was able to thread the holes with no issues.

Only real miscue was missing one of the transfer marks and drilling a hole in the incorrect place. Just went ahead and drilled it in the correct place, having an extra hole next to it shouldn't be an issue.

Woman turned the stuffed peppers into stuffed pepper soup and added some hot sausage to it, was very good.

Heading back up now to cut that slot and clean off the backing plate.

Once that's done I can start putting it all back together.

Hope everyone had a decent Tuesday ...

Today was the last non 100˚ day so I took advantage of it and mowed the yard. Tomorrow we start with days and days of hundreds. No rain expected and with the only once a week irrigation limit will have to be supplemented by some hand watering.

Not much accomplished yesterday, just puttered around. I expect more of the same today.

Drinking warm coffee. 55° with clear skies this morning. 77° with plenty of sun. 1.48" of rain yesterday. PT went good. After helped friend move his 40' motorhome to my RV pad. Going to help get it ready to sell. Did get wet when one of the many storms came over my place. Will get back at working on motorhome today after Foot Dr appointment.
Full house.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the low is 54 and going to a high of 75°F. Wind NNE 7 mph. Sunny!

Yesterday was an energy conservation day. Today might be too.

Ron, you are feeding the whole flock.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
71 out now only going up to 74 today in clouds, more rain this afternoon.
1.67 on rain gauge for yesterday

nice job on the bracket RS. Maybe you can coat it with something that won't corrode in that environment?

another Aussie word to look up
Lucerne is a nice city in Switzerland and a Buick I used to own.
But this lucerne is another name for alfalfa.

busy morning today, three stops and then home.
need to start getting serious about cleaning house for guests this weekend.
no excuses since it will be raining

hope you all have a nice day

 

[daugen]

well, well well
isn't this interesting
after I noticed I/we had disappeared off the "reaction" board, which we all call likes,
now it's been redone.
Good Morning rocks!

no wonder Muhammad had some issues with this...I get it now.

Morning all!
Currently 58 and raining going to 74.
Quick update on the apartment redo that I will be going back to this morning. Will try and grab some pics of the new flooring and paint.
The bathroom lighting was as old as the house. Was covered in rust and all the paint was gone! No replacements could be found and I didn't want to even think of trying to replace the whole fixtures! Spent a few days with sand paper and wire brushes an now:

Wish I would have remembered to get before pics!
Hopefully can get them reinstalled without any damage. Need to install the new over sink light too. She wants me to install a new shower head today also so I guess today will be bathroom day.
That's all for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
