Good morning!!!!

My dad asked how I knew the hydro fluid was low on the tractor, I said listen for the whine going up hills. Then I said, you won’t be able to hear it. (Because of really bad hearing).
Follow the hoses, they like to put in the middle.

Good morning all,
61° now highs in the low 80’s and mostly sunny today. Watering done early this morning and need to get some weeding done as well. Yesterday was a quiet conserve energy day. Not much planned for rest of the week other than to stay cool.
Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Good Morning,
Ct, 62 to start going to low 80’s. It will progressively hotter as we go through the week ! Can’t complain too much when I here what some others on here are dealing with !

I'm wanting to get a small spool of hard facing wire, to run a couple of beads on my lawnmower blades, then sharpen them

Kyle, I served my apprenticeship at Farrell Corporation, they built Banbury Mixers, just one of many different types of heavy machinery. The machine was used in the rubber industry for mixing the necessary compounds to manufacture tires ! The rotors inside of the machine had Stellite welded on the periphery to prevent wear, and then ground on an external grinder. That stuff was really tough, so I think you have a great idea there !

Scott, you wouldn't want to wash that great patina off the old girl.

Absolutely not !

Hope to get a long walk in before the heat arrives!

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

The Shasta Dam video was impressive,

It captured the hard work, risk taking, and "can-do" era of the past. Not that we don't do things today, but it was a bold step forward.

Forecast this morning-- 68F here as a HIGH today. With gusty winds-- a cold front coming. After 90's and 100's as highs I will take it!

Pup Rigby makes it all night until I get up at 4am to let him out. Pretty good for 8 weeks old. Then he goes back to sleep for a while until my wife gets up.

Good Morning!!!! Sunny skies. Becoming windy late. High 67F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph.
The Red Flag Warning continues until tomorrow morning up north where I'm headed today.

I just tried to access my Netflix viewing activity, Kyle, but they seem to have forgotten most of it. I enjoyed Lost in Space, but most of the others aren't very family friendly.

Got the oil changed in the van; 20,000 miles since the purchase last June. What a mess my carelessness made disposing of the old stuff. Spilled quite a bit on the concrete, but most of it evaporated. 0W-20 will do that, fortunately.

Also got a pretty heavy piece of equipment moved into place, but now need a bigger piece of pipe to get it all the way down on the ground. So that's on the list to bring back next time.

One more trip through the "Last Minute" list, some breakfast, and I'll be on the road again...

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

good morning , 69 going to 90 and sunny.
Got Diesel at $4.09/gallon, gas and propane. Good for another month now.
Spent some time in the pool relaxing with the wife and dog.
Then off to a local place for dinner. Son's friend was working the host desk.
Rented the beekeeper and watched that till off to bed.

The trench will have grass, will seed once I see some rain in the forecast.
Can't use rock unless they are large, water speed moves anything less that about 5" .
Our roads get covered in rocks where the town tried that in the trenches, what a disaster.
Was kinda fun in the jeep, but any cars were blocked from going anywhere until the town cleaned out the rock garden from the road.

Welcome back Mostly - can't wait to see pictures.

be well,

Scotty, Banbury Mixers bring back memories from my years as a field technician for a company that built machines for checking balance and marking tires to be sent to auto manufacturing plants. Maintenance people would come to assist me after working on the Banbury Mixers. That black dust did not wash off easily.

Drew, have you checked under bed for pump.

Will be interested in how you form the recess.

The goal is to have the shower floor 2” below the main floor. That will be filled with wet bed to get the ultimate finished grade towards the drain. The main floor will be 1-1/2” from the top of the form, the shower recess will be the bottom of the form.
