Good morning!!!!

Jay my dad was there second division Germans ran right over top of him literally Tiger Tank

My dad was there on the north end of the bulge. He talks about the cold, snow, and when it cleared on Christmas, and there were so many planes going over.

The stapler came in today
This is a serious tool

You will like it. I actually never did use Paul’s, I let his son have all the fun. But just seeing it in use, really nice.

I think if you were to use a zip tie on the shoe of the fencing gun you could shoot staples a good distance with it.

68F and "Fair" @ 22:00, heading down to around 60F for the overnight low.

Was warm outside this afternoon ... but not bad at all, probably due to fairly low humidity (DP 46F ---> 59F)

Took dump cart up and grabbed the six t-posts from the shop whose ends I cut off at a 45 degree angle last night while I was sharpening blades. Took those around back to the garden area.

Got next bluebird house repainted that prepped yesterday, still one to go.

Then got the original blades put back on the Cub and torqued, also greased the anti-scalp wheels on the deck. Lincoln grease gun was out of grease, the guy that used it last apparently didn't bother to refill it. Slipped a new tube in and we were off to the races. Will do the FEL on the Kubota tomorrow.

After that I got the front all mowed, Cub cutting well, leaving no stragglers, and throwing the grass great:

​

Still was about three days late though.

After that I watered the little planting area in the second circle with what was left in the Buffalo, emptied it out, and then hauled it around back to be refilled tomorrow.

Then hooked the dump cart and grabbed the B&D string trimmer and went up and started working on the planting bed in front of the shop.

Woman's Airtag and keychain did not get delivered today, now scheduled for tomorrow ...

Plant order from Burgess has been sitting up at the Fedex terminal in Twinsburg since 06:22 this morning, still no delivery date available ...

Thinking about heading up to the shop and working on getting the MMM blades sharpened ... if the cramps in my hands ever stop ...

Might cut the steel to move the seat forward on the Cub so The Woman can reach the pedals while I'm at it.

Hope everyone had a good Tuesday ...

That blade sharpener looks much like mine

Yes it does.

Makes sense that it might I guess ... one of the reviewers described it as a "clone"

I'll grab a pic of the "manual" next time I'm up there and post it.

chocolate brownies/muffins I made were inventive.
too inventive.
aka inedible.
a culinary failure
way too dry and with an off taste to me.

will be feeding them to the birds over time.
I think I've made my own very fancy bird treats.

The compost pile (or the trash) might be a better use/destination ...

I was digging through a folder of user manuals for tools the other day and came across one for a Stihl 032 chainsaw. I no longer have it, so if anyone wants it, I'd be happy to mail it to you. Or you could download one from the Stihl website, but if you're like me, there's nothing better than having a book in your hands.

It's close enough by all appearances to my 031 that I would ask for it ... if I didn't still have my original manuals.

But I do ... so pass.

But thanks for asking ...

Since the twitter files, Elon is a marked man. All I will say.

Is that because the narratives by who he chose to have "reveal" them have largely been debunked ?

Or for some other reason ?
