39 right now...heading up to 66 today.
Couple outdoor chores today...assembling a porch glider, more re-stacking (I do a little at a time)...drop the chipper off the 4520. Then, if a nice afternoon, play a bit of Frisbee with Bella while enjoying a beer or three.

Do tell us more Rick, what brought you to their Shipyard ? Or were you on one of those hush-hush projects that still has to remain top secret !
:

We cut a Drillship, built in 1970, in half and added a 30m section to hull for stability improvement. Had to be done in dry dock and the one at Cammel Laird was available.

Sorry for previous mis-spelling.

Showery for the weekend and cooling down for next week. Grass picking up probably because of 1.5 inches of rain that came in last two days but hit and miss type some places got none

We just caught the south end of the bad weather. Lightning, a bit of wind and rain. Probably less than 1/4".

Just got dry enough to mow yard around house yesterday (8+ acres) with zero turn. Still too soft to use tractor and rear finish mower.

Clover in the drizzle.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Well I'm back home. With the ranger. Interesting ride home. Trailer I took was too short. Well it fit but no room to balance and being a single axle well. View attachment 466718

Drew. I'm going to recommend one of these. DeWalt DCGG57B 18V Cordless Grease Gun - Tool Only | Toolnut.com
I have one to match my other tools. Works great. Has two bleeders an auto and manual. Takes seconds to prime.

I use a floor Jack and 2-4 ton Jack stands to change my blades on the Dixie chopper.
Farmer, congrats on the very nice looking Ranger. I hope it serves you well a long time. I am a fan of the Yamahas, but we have a Gator, so go figure.

Don, glad you weathered it OK. I don't know how much wind we got, but airport gage shows 38 mph. One close lightning strike, but fortunately not on top of us. .73" of rain.

Sampling my decaf right now. Yum, wife put hot cocoa in it too.

I pull the deck out from under my deere LT180. It's only 42", with all the rocks I mow, I'm glad I only have 2 blades to deal with.

Finished putting new ATV Carlisle AT489 tires on the HPX Gator last night. Whew, what a job. I don't recommend changing out any ATV tires unless you are able bodied, have some good tire irons, and don't mind looking like you lost a fight with a cat when you're done. We bought the tires at Discount Tire, their overall price (including shipping) was good. They said they'd mount them for $10 apiece. I should have taken them up on it, but I figured I'd save $40. I had about 3 hours in the job, including a beer break. I had to use high pressure to wash off the flaking paint on the inside of the rims and then paint them with rustoleum primer. Next tire change, we will need rims.

Don, did you ever get your pressure washer part? I'm having to make a new special pipe nipple for the washer's wand we have at work. The company is too cheap to buy one, and my work load is slow, so I've decided to try and make one. I looked up a new wand and they want $90 for a new one online. I just have to figure out the special NPT threads with a nose seal on the face to make a new one. The tapered threads need to time out when the nose seal hits a copper washer inside the female threads.
