Good morning!!!!

... But those old Broncos were absolutely the roughest, most uncomfortable vehicles I ever rode in.

Agreed. A friend of mine had one for a short while back in the '90s. We called it Truck-o-saurus. It was a terrible ride.

I had an '86 Bronco II, on the other hand, that rode pretty well. Completely different vehicle, though, more akin to the new Broncos in size.

4.85gal for Plus put in rental car today.

dealer put a nice hitch on, has both size plugs, though with a one ton trailer think I need only
the three pronger. What I didn't like was seeing exposed wiring under there. I have some shrink wrap but not real
thrilled with putting a flame anywhere near gas tank. So maybe some decent quality electrician's tape..Even better I think I have some
cut loom and I can just put that on. Seems a strange design for this hitch, oem Volvo but I think it was for something else originally.
Current models push a high tech, twice as expensive gadget oriented hitch system for your full assortment of bicycles, kayaks, etc.
What they put on will be fine. But I do think that wiring needs to be protected. Maybe some Gorilla tape. Fixes everything right?

neighbor next door who doesn't like to mow her lawn finally asked for help, because she is leaving, of course. Going on a one year native american oriented tour of US.
So I put the mower on top setting of 4, cranked up the rpm, made partial cuts and got her back lawn done. As I'm likely to get stuck doing again until next tenant comes in.

I took advantage of some lighter breezes this morning and the string trimmer for a walk.... noticed the smoke plume from the Hermits Peak fire. Took a quick pic:


You can see how dry it is..... those fields should be green this time of year. I am afraid this drought is going to hit epic proportions......

one thing I said no thank you to was the Volvo oem hitch cover, the rubber thing for the end.
I wonder what could have made it so expensive, a cloissone insert or perhaps led lights for 45 dollars.
I opted for the solid rubber Curt cover for $4.28. One tenth the cost.

Ted, sorry I can't send you any squishy.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Drew, I sure wish you could find a way to send some "squishy" ......

That fire went up to 204,000 acres..... the biggest fire in the state's history. Winds are going to change direction and get stronger tomorrow.... not going to turn out well....

Dr visit yesterday was semi productive.
He said there was little they could do for my bicep.
However they found a problem in my shoulder that needs attention whilst they were scanning the bicep. So... off for another ultrasound.
Hospital called a couple of weeks ago and told me I was near the top of the list for my hand surgery after 563 days of waiting.
They wanted an updated feferral from my Dr so he obliged and added two thumbs to the list for 'urgent' attention. That was nice of him. Hands are getting to the point where it is hard to write neatly or sign my name neatly.
I sure hope it will come sooner than later.

Good evening! 73 now. Got to 78 or so today and was incredibly comfortable.

Needed some filters for the NH today. Both hydraulic and engine. Local dealer had them in stock and less than buying online. And only 2 miles away.

Bit of maintenance completed on the NH then several hours of quality time in the seat using the grader blade and box blade to straighten out the drive. It is vastly better. I really like using the box blade. And the canopy I installed earlier this spring did what I wanted, kept the sun off my head.

Everyone stay safe out there!

Don, nice car pics. My FIL had a rusty old bronco when I meet my wife. He eventually sold it.
