Worked some more on the barn and was successful in raising the beam about 4 inches and wedging it.

Frits,
Your projects continually amaze me. You seem pretty much unstoppable and willing to take on almost any task. Usually by yourself, as well. If I remember correctly, you are over 80 and still going like the energizer bunny.

I’m also impressed that you almost always have the right tool for the job.
I have a similar affliction, where I never saw a tool I didn’t need, as well as an intense lack of patience for inferior tools.
I wish that you were closer to me, we could share.

Last November Boo stop showing up neighbor who also like Boo inform me he's 99% sure hunter harvest Boo,NuBoo show up about month ago I've been very slowly working on NUboo to accept me it's going well.

Be careful with that nubooboo.

Friday y'all, I'm worn out. Even though I had a relatively easy week.

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 6:30AM. Foggy this morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 66F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.

Nothing worse than having to drive/commute to classes, Ken, at least it was when I was going to Ohio State and U.C. Berkeley. Just looking at a map of the San Francisco Bay Area still gives me that sinking feeling. What a relief when I finally got into close in housing, close enough to bicycle, or walk if the weather got bad enough.

A while back a little part broke off the pump on my gas pressure washer, and it doesn't look like Generac sells the part separately. They want $160 for a new pump, but it's only gonna give me the original 2400 PSI. The idots that owned this place painted the driveway and front porch, and now the paint is peeling. I need more than 2400 PSI to get it off, and as of 1/1/24, you can't buy a small gas engined tool here in Kalifornia. So I can drive 400 miles one way to Las Vegas to get one, or make a quick trip up to Klamath Falls next time I'm at the place up north, or try to find a merchant that doesn't care about Kalifornia foolishness to ship one here. But after reading the reviews, most of them are full of complaints about leaking pumps and hard starting gas engines. Or 3000 psi electrics that pop 15 amp circuit breakers. I hate renting equipment, but I may just end up doing that.

I've been slathering one of the butcher block countertops here with a tung oil finish for the past five days, and think it may be done. It needs the nits picked off with some fine steel wool, and I'll see how much that dulls it down and decide if one last light coat will be needed.

Got some phone calls to make this morning, gonna let the day unfold from there.

Hope everyone's week gets started in the right direction...

The laptop was stuck in Los Angeles all weekend, though now I see that the tariff on Chinese electronics has been lifted, so it's a FedEx problem.

RNG where are you?
(Car 54 where are you?)

I think we could make a great team. Always amazed at your skills in such wide areas of expertise

Well, don't think I work all that much because first priority is taken care of wife

Worked since grade school every day helping dad with his trucking business and those habits have stayed with me since. My injuries are recovering and the weight training is paying off to make me stronger again

Dealer have the loader off when they worked on it recently?

No, we took loader off before they picked up the tractor. This loose bolt is hidden by the side panel, so unless you take the side off, like I did to change the oil, you don't see the bolt. You only even need the side panel off to put the new oil in, the filter and dipstick are accessible with the panel on.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

whirlwind of a trip, now back home. Got rotary cutter on tractor this morning the proper way, not the way dad does it with bolts and washers.... He wanted to come out to see if I was doing it right. Had to adjust one of the 3pt pins. Tried to grease the loader, but his grease gun was empty, and I forgot to take mine.
Did mow a little to try it out, ended up mowing a pass all the way to the back line fence to check on the water pipe work, then mowed a section near the barn. Tree fell right before the work area, maybe in the storm last night. I couldn't push it out of way with tractor as pipeline guys had their trucks parked next to it, so I let it be.

Good Evening Bill,

Scott(vt) Lets see, wife working in flower bed, an you are taking pic and counting that as hard work

Hey, Mostly, I brought all those bags of mulch to the stone wall, and then I moved them up to the garden. I worked hard too

Two rules for seniors; (1) NEVER pass a bathroom and (2) NEVER trust a fart!

Bill, no truer words were ever spoken

Hope all have a good evening
