Hd5, I got around to filling my rear tires today. I put 39 gallons of windshield washer fluid in each tire. Added about 546 lbs of rear ballast.
Just an FYI, if you (or anyone else) is going to fill their own tires buy a good pump (not the ones HF sells). I used the larger of the two pumps HF sells. It is supposed to be self priming and pump up to 300 GPH. IT DOES NOT do either. It took me 7 hours to fill my tires. That's less than 10 GPH. What a boring way to spend a Saturday. Had to stop the pump every 5 minutes to burp the air out then resume filling. Took way longer than I thought.

No, wasn't hot at all. Temps were low to mid 70's. Looked like it might rain several times throughout the day but it didn't.

I did the 50 hour service on my BIL's Kubota yesterday in 100 degree heat, and I nearly melted!

Hopefully that heat will cool off a little before it gets to the east coast. I don't like it when it gets above 75. I'd prefer 65-75 all year round.
Hoping the hurricane will send us some rain and cool off. Hasn't rained here in a month, raining all around us. Twenty miles away my Dad got almost an inch yesterday.
Already putting out hay for the cows, and they are even too hot to eat much.
The logger that's cutting the timber I'm selling to buy the 4046, and I marked the area he's cutting this morning and I about melted. Not to mention the ticks.

And here we are saying I wish the rain would stop for a while. It hasn't rained for a couple days here but my lawn is still soggy and puddles everywhere. Wish I could send some rain your ways.
