Good morning!!!!

I have mixed feelings re lawn. Surely don’t do much lawn related other than cut. I do find cutting on tractor somewhat Zen like, but also can be expensive as I conjure projects.

Day job calls.

You know what Ray Wylie Hubbard said, right? "It's the night peoples job, to get the day peoples money."

Compared to a tractor, using the Ventrac to mow is like driving a sports car.

I bet that is nice! There was a dealer in San Antonio but I never took the time to go by there. May put that on the 'to do' list.

Good Morning!!!! 46 here in Orcutt, CA. Partly cloudy skies. High near 70F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph.



Don't wanna come off as a safety ****, Scotty, but there's no way in H*** I'd get under something hanging from a FEL, especially after just blowing a hydraulic line on my grapple. I have replaced the hammers on my flail, but it was mounted on the 3PH an supported by a pair of jack stands. Not at all uncomfortable sitting down on a rolling stool.

Agreed. Not going under anything on an FEL not even with just the bucket without cylinder locks in place.

The 700 pound mower hung from a 5000 # capacity forklift that I left running to maintain hydraulic pressure. I was not under but next to it on my 2 feet. Pretty safe - not as safe as sitting on the couch but safe enough for ranch work. I'll post some pics asap.

Good Day Everyone,

I've missed a lot again lately ... some computer issues and power outages, but mostly busy with taxes, and bookkeeping

My ex-wife apparently / FINALLY made it to an initial appointment with her lawyer since the time of the cancelled 4 way meeting in Nov 2023... 7 month delay (uggh). I have no idea how she presented information, and that makes me nervous, but I guess I'll wait and see what comes of this. I just wonder if her lawyer has concluded that ex-wife is (clearly) a Narcissist ... that would probably help in any explanations / offers that I present going forward. I still love her, but enough is enough - time to move forward and re-gain my life.

I'm doing okay. Car Cruise-In tonight again. Last Friday we has 160 cars out for the initial event (weekly) of this season.

I will check in again, when I get a chance. Have a great day everyone.

I am becoming painfully aware that it is very difficult to take care of both properties properly ! We are thinking of getting a property in Ct that is easier to maintain, like no pool to begin with !

We had 3 residences for awhile. We were going to sell the one in East Texas and keep the one near Corpus Christi but decided to sell it instead. I don't miss that place that much but I miss having a place near the Coastal Bend. I really like that area and the people there. I have always stayed away from having a pool to maintain.

A friend of mine bought a condo in downtown Austin with a nice pool and another has a condo in west Houston with no pool but a great view that I really like. Never thought I would even consider a condo but they have some advantages. One condo I've seen had a little astro turf lawn on the balcony. Too expensive for me.

How often do you mow all of that?
