Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

got the lawn mowed and most things put away.
still miles to guy before I sleep, but had to sit down.
picked a big handful of radishes, and I see there are little green peppers growing.
has two large agm batteries, 3kw inverter
was like a little kid in the mud but car was marvelous, no spinning at all
lot of gnats, putting the fan on the porch really helped, burning a citronella candle behind it.
sure nice to come home to my original roses in full bloom

just brewed a fresh pot of coffee, need to keep going
Popgadget gave me some good ideas on adjusting the Gravely's pto clutch. That was very disappointing today when the pto
driven shaft mower would not spin, clutch was slipping totally. Never did that before but I realized I hadn't run the mower in several years and someone else had it for several years and I don't know what went on. Luckily almost everything on this can be fixed.

Ken, my elderly cousin was an English Professor at NYU. She retired about 10 years ago. RIP Doctor Jean Louise Shields

The lights just went out. Confirming my suspicions that the hydro cannot handle sunshine. Rained all day yesterday, last night and today. Sun out now and the lights went out.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -3.9C and it's presently warmed up to 12.0C, clear & calm.

There's not much going on for me at the moment and that's just fine as the past couple of months have been steady/hectic. I've got a Parish Council meeting this evening @ 1700.

That's about it, take care all.

Beautiful night to sit on the deck, nice breeze, snagglepuss on my lap.
I’ve used the “new” deck with new chairs more than I used the old one.
Dad mowed a couple laps today with the L5030. Think he just wanted to see if he still could.
Drew, Andrew Camarata new place up where you was. You had to be real close.

The lights came back on at 9:30. Temperature going down to 32 tonight. The bugs will love that. Partly sunny tomorrow and breezy. Sunny again on Tuesday.

Water Volleyball at the neighborhood pool in the heat of the day and outdoor concert in the evening. You know it's getting wild when the grandmas get up to dance. Prime seating was in the back under the I'm worn out.

Groupies from the 60's !!!

Saturday night I shredded after dark for about an hour or so. My rear facing light is out. Need to do some electrical testing of the turn signal switch, and the light switch. Front headlights work, but are a bit dim being 23 years old. There's plenty more to cut, as I only did a few acres. I love the hydrostat for speeding up and down to adjust to the grass conditions, keeping the motor at peak hp/torque. Also backing up is easier.

Want a laugh? I need to change the oil in my small LX5 cutter's gearbox. Just for grins, I looked up a new gearbox on JD website....it was like $2470 dollars. JUST THE GEARBOX. So I looked up a brand new Deere 5' cutter Frontier. With all the options its only $2690. MSRP. What a crock.

I have a 6' Bushhog in decent shape I need to give some love to. PTO drive is frozen up. Bought it at an auction for only $500 a few years ago.

This evening I changed the oil in my Deere 4310. I'm not going to say how long it has been since changed, but it has only had about 120 hours. Old oil still looked fairly clean and Yanmar doesn't burn a drop. Put some Chevron Delo synthetic 15W 40 in it. Logged onto my maintenance spreadsheet and filled in the job. Motor only has 580 hours being 23 years old. It has been a fantastic tractor. I've been able to fix everything so far, which has been very little. Toughest job may have been replacing rear axle seals, or maybe taking apart the 3 point rockshaft controller and cleaning it to make it work correctly.

Son is rewatching Captain Jack Sparrow pirate series. He's on the last movie. Lot of good special effects.

Crazy that the Mexican sailing ship ran into the bridge....backwards? I smell trouble.

Coffee is brewing. 46° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 61° with partly cloudy skies. Pond maintainace went good. Lots of Maple Helicopters to vacuum up. Got plenty of weeds pulled. NASCAR must have been very boring. I fell asleep before it started. Will have to look at recording today. Grass trimming and weed killer spraying today.
Frogs like Helicopters.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
