Good morning!!!!

[Dftodd]

it was Sunday morning with no traffic so this time I hogged up the whole road early and got rv stopped in a
better spot. Second time Bill for a hole in one,usually takes me one k turn to position and one to reverse.
if my neighbor had not put his mail box two feet on my property, this would be much easier.
Still have to have a talk with him about that. I know that he, like I, did not know where the line was.

went out and fed the birds, running out of seed so stop at hardware store at 8am when they open is planned.
then supermarket in same shopping center. And then home to wash the rv.

All of our mail boxes are on a neighbors property. Mail only services one side of the street in our area so the driver can just make a loop.

So all mail boxes get installed on the edge of the ditch on the east side of our street.

good morning, 77 going to 87, rains yesterday did not amount to much although lots of reports about flooding a little further away

Dropped Cody off at the groomer. His fur growth is on steroids and brushing daily is needed to keep him from shedding too much

Picked up 4x6's and ledger screws yesterday. Did not bring the trailer but fortunately 12' lumber could fit in the van

Brought over gravel and tamped it. Will do some more work on that before next steps

Picking up groceries and meds

We've reached middle of July and time continues to tic by at an ever increasing pace.
Just shy of 9:30am and I've spent close to 3 hours mowing the open field.
Hitched up, lubed and fueled last night at dusk to avoid the daytime heat and sun.
This morning it was already 74F at 6AM and everything pregnant with dew.
Tractor tires got a nice cleaning. Look like I used Armour All on them.
Finished just before 9AM and already past mid 80s. The heat isn't the worst as we have a very high pollution count. I can feel it in my throat. Not conducive to gardening and such.
While mowing I noticed the first few of the sunflowers blooming in the field. A number of yellow Finches flying around anticipating the coming bounty.
The Swallows were a little tardy getting out for the bug feast turned up by the mower but made up for it late. If they had shown up earlier they would have needed to go to Weight Watchers tomorrow.
I just love watching them fly and swoop the tractor. When I sell this place that is one of the things I will miss.
Rest of the day to be spent inside doing women's work.
Later I'll go out to the condo and see how the painters have done.
Happy morning Ladies and Germs.

that makes sense
my neighbor had a choice, there was room on his side, but he just found the big open area and dug a hole.
so in my case, this was avoidable. He's a mason and I'm afraid he sunk that post in concrete...
property was just resurveyed, only now clear where the line was.

ran some errands, filled up car with gas, now heading out on a hazy warm day
to try again on changing spark plug on rv generator. I researched the plug, ordered the plug,
found the right padded socket, and no way would it go in. Obstructed access too.
unit only has 185 hours on it but plugs are cheap.
this time I'll work my way through the spark plug set I have, see if others fit.
that would sure lead me to conclusion I got the wrong plug, but maybe I just need a different thin wall
socket. Should be an easy job.

Morning all;
One cup of coffee early then out the door;
Worked up a sweat earlier this morning, got outside to try and get a bit done before it got too hot.
6AM 71F and 84% hunidity, now at 10:30AM 79F and 74% humidity, damn am I glad to be back inside and feeling almost chilly at 71F and 42% humidity in the kitchen.
The valve stems on my SxS have started leaking, I broke one off this spring when trying to air up a tire and had popped another one in.
All of them are fairly short straight ones and most of my air chucks are in line so I have to flex them out a bit to check tire pressure or add air.
So this morning I broke down the two rear tires and installed some angled ones that are a bolt in style.

Shop planting bed area sprayed, also about 2/3 of the southern edge of the road.

T posts picked up at Menards, also an additional soaker hose.

Filled up Woman's car on the way back at the cheap place.

Swapped out stump/shrub bucket for the grapple and got the hydraulics connected with some help from The Woman.

Now going to go mow the front before it gets any hotter then after that's done will work on clearing the west perimeter down in the woods where there should at least be some shade.

Currently 87F with sunshine and a little haze.

69°F and .19 inches rain.

During my coffee yesterday Sophie said I needed to look at her BX, that it wasn’t cutting well last time she used it. Something about me probably cutting a palm frond. Turns out that the middle blade was quite loose. Not able to tighten with a socket and unable to get impact gun on it, I had to remove deck. Impact gun made short work of fixing problem. Decided I might as well dress the blade a bit, not really sharpen, but closer. Took a break first. The videos etc make mounting and unmounting this drive over deck look so easy, but never for me. Never seem to get it aligned properly and it scoots on the concrete. Finally had success and test mow was nice, but now it was time to quit.

Very nice Happy Hour at the Park. Couldn’t ask for better weather. Not better food which was in abundance. Great way to end the day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Front lawn mowing completed @ 14:15.

Have some kind of issue with the diverter valve, it isn’t actuating, grapple doesn’t open/close.

Can hear the relay click when I push the button, need to check and see if the valve itself is getting juice and energizing.

Still need to mow compost/woodlot.

But going to take a little break to cool off.

89.9F and not a cloud in the sky.
