Back from HD. Picked up their 2nd least expensive push mower. I like the larger rear wheels.


Primary job is to mow the dogs’ fenced area. Chassis of the old mower has rotted out beyond fixing, no longer safe. Had been half looking for replacement body, gave up. This was a $50 mower I had picked up about 12 years ago. Guess I got my money’s worth.

Started raining about time I got gas in the new one, started 3rd pull from empty. Put it in the tractorshed.

so tomorrow.

Yes, Drew, prayers for lots of folks this morning, and happy belated birthday to Sophie. Mine is next, I guess, on April 1. (Cue the April fools jokes, and here is one - my sister was born on the exact same day 1 year later!)

My oldest brother and sister are same day 2 years apart.

The flail mower video that Roy posted inspired me to run up to the farm and dig out the bush hog. I was pretty pleased that everything started. Sorted out some downed branches and got the meadows mowed. I am always amazed what a 18 hp tractor and a 4 foot bush hog will do. Of course now I have seen a bunch of other stuff that could use some attention. It is supposed to be nice today but rain tomorrow. That will keep me from going too wild. I've got to ease into it.:)

I wasn't going to watch the new Medcram video about covid and children but it turned out to be interesting. It is amazing how our understanding of this disease is changing over time. I have the feeling that there is a lot more to learn.

Pace yourselves guys and gals

Chris

I used a 5 ft cutter on my 20 hp Massey. Little tractor did good.

Got home late. Interstate shut down due to tanker on fire so took back roads. Took me near by old coworkers house, so drove by to see if I could find it, he was outside bringing recycles to curb. I wasn’t sure it was him hadn’t seen him in probably 6 years. He didn’t recognize me till I told him who I was. We talked for over an hour, was a great impromptu meeting. Then realized my low gas light was on, so got half a tank.
Called dad to say happy birthday. 2 people brought him food for supper.

Don, I am assuming that PT will continue as scheduled, as long as the edema decreases. The circulatory specialist has to send the report over to the ortho specialist, then he has to sent a report back to PT.... hopefully it will get done in a reasonable amount of time....

Mostly, prayers for you wife's condition.

Drew, did not know La Z Boy made office chairs. Hope Dr visit went well.

PJ, my brother played a Les Paul guitar. But has not played since finished school. I am still fascinated by those that can play a instrument. I learned to play piano. But cannot play one note today.

Looking, sorry shopping for contain did not go well.

Lou, good you got second shot.

David, HD and lobster. Should be a good day. I have a old Snapper mower with the large rear wheels. But have not used it in years. Do not like pushing a mower.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

good morning all.
Going to be a rainy day but in a few hours I'm headed South to VA for an overnight with my older brother and wife in Markham. Still have some more stuff stored in their
basement I need to bring home. Going to go out the turnpike and down 15, seems to be a nice road. 4 1/2 hours, not too bad a drive.

ortho doc looked at my shoulder and said that's not good, and of course promptly ordered an MRI which I will get later this week on shoulder.
hope you all have a nice day.
