Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

took a chance this morning, and lost.
but no big deal.
storage tanks in rv not very big, maybe 35 gallons.
I had already taken one shower and hoped I could get a second one
in before dumping tank. Nope. right toward end thankfully after I got all the soap off me, the water starts backing up from the drain. Hmmm. I sure know what that means.

so after shaving using almost no water, out I went and drained the tanks.
won't have to do it again til I get to Myrtle Beach tomorrow.
I have been careful to always flush the septic hose out with fresh water after doing its business. Many folks leave the grey water line open if there for a while, but that's likely why those hoses usually smell so bad. I hang mine out back on drying rack aka the electric bike handles, and when then go back in, almost no smell.
I will never ever say my you know what doesn't smell.

looks to be another nice day here.
headed out in a little bit to sit and read my book, with the birds in the pine forest nearby chirping away.

14 years ago an old friend almost died on his zero turn.
Elderly doc, still alive (his son is my oncologist) was out using zero turn and
lost control. Remarkable amount of ripped up sod.
so he slides down to edge of pond, tire hits the rim and flips the whole thing into the pond. He was lucky to crawl out, took months to recover.
zero turns are wonderful but you have to be so careful on slopes or wet ground

Learned to only go uphill on steep slopes with the ZT. Center of gravity moves towards the rear when going uphill. Too easy to lose control going downhill. Mounted 4 suitcase cast iron weights on the back that helps to get better traction. Same on tractors if in 2 wheel drive. On the MF industrial tractor lowering the bucket to scrape or dig in to prevent sliding is a reflex that I gained from experience

Morning all, 66 going up to 85 and sunny, another nice June day
I did get into Newtown for the Market day, not much interested in buying though.
Interesting to walk in the back section behind the older houses from the 1700's
some great history here back to when it was the Bucks County court. Visit - Newtown Historic Association

Then back home to split a few big rounds, used x27 and splitting wedge for the tough old ash rounds. Need to move the splitter to some place where I can take it vertical so I can use the tractor. Only need a few more cart loads to be done.

The off to town to relax by the river a bit.

Today , easy day, dog walk and maybe give her a bath, it's been so warm she's starting to smell a bit.

Be well,

Moved older wood to top of right rack and started filling left rack and rack in front of house.
Almost at the cord I need for pit and fireplaces.

These young leaders give up their lives and their time to be in the Corps of Cadets and even more so to be in the Nationally Famous Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. They have to be in their "spot" on location for band practice every morning at 7am sharp. They have to travel to many of the games. One that I know of became the Official Bugler of the Flag raising ceremonial team. He also got asked to play taps at alumni funerals. Because of time management, most don't take engineering classes, but some do and they usually need an extra year to graduate. They are great young people and it is a blessing that I get to be in the midst of them.

This year's band has something extra special, for the first time ever, they have a special young lady leading the band.

66°F and .11 inches rain.

Easy day yesterday, mostly putzing around.

Got a chance to start unpacking my new flail and have to say I’m quite impressed with the quality of build. Always been happy with my previous flails from Betstco but this one even more so.

Likely kick back and watch football today

Thanks for all the travelogue pics from you guys. Always interesting to see places I’ll never visit and get a taste of your enthusiasm.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
