Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Have a great day guys, I’m going to soak my eye with hot epsom salt water and see if I can get some of the swelling down.
Prayers to you all.

Hope that works Randy, sorry you are going through this.

picked up driveway sealer, now left in trailer down by barn until help arrives.

South Korean trailer tires seem to be the best of the breed. I still don't think Goodyear has recovered, certainly not
in reputation, from all the crappy Marathon tires that blew up.
I think combo of issues, many dealing with tires that sit too long, get flat spots, air pressure run low, overloaded trailer, etc.
My Maxxis trailer tires are now going on five years on my utility trailer and look like new. A little soaking with 303 protectant when new and every couple of years has helped them last outdoors. I run 50 pounds of air in tires rated for max of 55, trailer tires due to stiffer sidewalls like more air, not less I've read.

now off to mow roadsides on a very pretty day

It's 41° this morning, today is going to be in the low 80' with a 20% chance of showers this afternoon.

Going up and help some more on the sheep wagon today. Also load the side by side this afternoon we both have Dr. appointments in the morning.

She came over for dinner last night.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Good morning! 75˚ to 90s. At least we seem to bee out of the 100˚ days. All the rain missed us the last few days but cutting 10˚ off the highs was pleasant.

Today Whipper gets to go to DayCare. The day boarding is a required stay before any longer boarding can be done to see if the dog is a fit for their place.

Randy, here is some nutritional research that was done on seaweed and shingles. How to Boost Your Immune System with Wakame Seaweed | NutritionFacts.org

There is a wildlife committee here in the neighborhood. They count deer to see how many get captured and processed. There were saying at one meeting that deer cannot digest corn and tell everyone not to feed the deer. I don't know about that, but with all the irrigated shrubs they have an ample food supply and are very tame.

I didn稚 take time to look for the rest of the blade just assume it痴 where I stopped.
Break is pretty clean right at the bolt. I would blame abuse more than material fault.
As able to drop the pan assembly without too much effort, but I値l be doggone if I致e been able to free up the blade bolts. Of course my largest impact socket is 1 1/4, next regular socket is 1 1/2 and naturally the nut is 1 5/16. Just can稚 seem to budge it with a box wrench even though the threads are clean, flooded with PB Blaster, liquid Wrench, heated... guess I知 just going to have to cut off. New bolts and nuts would be in order and I hope I can find some in town tomorrow else I値l have to order. Likely will pick up appropriate impact socket too. Last time I had to special order Rhino wheel fork, hopefully the Kubota dealer or someone will have a suitable 7/8 alternative, seems a number of manufacturers use a keyed bolt.

I doubt even a 3/4" impact would get them off.

I've had to use a 3/4" drive socket, with a 3/4" breaking bar, and a 5' cheater pipe to break them loose. Then, you have to run the nut to the top of the bolt's threads, find something adequate to use a large sledge to drive the bolts out of the press fit hole. Oh, and you have to wedge a piece of wood or something from the concrete up next to the bolt, to shore it up so you can drive it out. Otherwise, you are putting your main shaft and it's bearings at full brunt risk of damage.

could not find reputable established dealer in town. Tried using a neighbor down the street who I didn't know and they
were incompetent gypsies. Two guys in a pickup...job was awful. Such a bad experience I am determined to do it myself.
What I'm putting on is almost gel like, should be good sealing of holes and cracks, which I'm pretreating anyway. Spray on stuff is
very watery from my experience. Not a lot of product put down. I've had that done in prior homes and had to do it almost every year.
I'm putting a lot of product down and other than tree roots doing their thing, which is inescapable where I am, I hope this keeps the road nice for at least three years. Driveway is 3 1/2 years old and had problems with edges from the beginning.

I have two poles, squeegees, brushes and a big electric drill stirrer for the buckets of goop. I'm also going to make some movable edge forms to prevent black stuff from getting too far. Videos say cut in the edges first for about ten feet, then work backwards down the middle. I'm supervising...

off to go road mowing in a/c. I'll come back to the garden to sweat...

It was 74° here this morning and forecast is for 90° a nice change from past few weeks.

We were blessed with 1 1/4” of rain yesterday afternoon. For reference, our total rainfall here, in July and August, was 7/8”.

The hummingbirds are coming, to the feeder, more frequently every day. There are two “regulars” that do more fighting than drinking.

Prayers to all.

Thanks Don, that’s interesting.
