Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of -1.6C and it's presently 'warmed up' to -0.5C 😐 [predicted High of 12C], clear & calm with frost.

I'm off to Church in a half hour, followed by lunch out in Pyengana with my visiting Friends.

That's about it, take care all.

Went out and started to mow the section of land that I haven't cut for almost 2 years. Man was it tough to cut. Had to go maybe 3mph and manage the power by lifting the shredder deck up when it started killing the engine. 65 PTO Hp on a 6' shredder. Tough weeds I tell you. Come try it with yours if you don't believe me. :) I had to come back to the house after 2 rounds of the PTO clutch slipping and just tighten the heck out of it to make it stop slipping. Mowed and mowed. A rain shower cooled me off for about 15 minutes of light rain. I was about out of fuel and had to quit to take son to an event. Cut maybe 6 acres and have maybe 2 more to do.
I believe I can finish with another hour's worth of effort.

My mom bought us a family pack of BBQ yesterday. 2 lbs of lean sliced brisket and 1 lb of sausage. Plus potato salad, cole slaw, and beans. Eating like royalty, and leftovers today.

I'm praying for peace in Ukraine.

Back from my days sojourn.
Nice trip up and back, going up took a new route to me, had to go over at least 2 mountains on switchback roads, as the GPS said that was 7 min faster than the way I usually go, which is the way I came back.
I know our friend was happy that 15 from our church went, 2.5 hrs away. After the Cemetery service, we left and went to my wife's cousin that lives real close, and they feed us a great lunch and we had a good visit. Left there about 4 pm to head home, via the lake we will camp at in a few weeks.

Picked a few things from the garden.
My brother mowed at Dad's today.

Used to have to change split rims on dump truck tires years ago, no cages then.

Coffee is brewing. 69° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 79° with slight chance of stray thunderstorm. Got .19" rain yesterday from afternoon thunderstorms. Tractor show never happened. Neighbors family is sick from some kind of sinus infection. So instead went to a Open house for a friends place that I have not seen in almost 60 years. Lots of old race and sports cars to see. RMmortosports. Bud and I raced snowmobiles and go carts in the 60's. Rest of the day was sent conserving energy. Will try to conserve energy today.

Got a notification from Apple that there is an update for my Apple Watch and iPhone that gives Blood Oxygen readings.
Watch has to have 11.6.1 software and be a Series 9 or 10. iPhone needs iOS 18.6.1 .
I tried it after both updates and it works. It shows up on my iPhone heath APP. 👍
