The show Landman very well done about things I know very little about. In my mind rougher version of Dallas. Main character very well cast. Holly did not like it though
My boss watched it, and told me "if you watch it, tell me if you see something that annoys you?"
Well, I watched it and there were 2 oil guys who went to use a big pipe wrench on a valve stem, and they had the pipe wrench backwards. I asked the boss if that was what he was referring to, and he said "Yes!"
good morning 60 going to 78
dropping Cody off at the groomer and picking up groceries
finished the the other side of the stabilizer on the van. Went a lot easier and now that I made 700 dollars an hour compared to what it would have cost at the dealer would be only fair that is added to my tool budget.
I often "cost justified" DIY repairs to buy tools...but I don't have nearly as many tools as you do.

I better get to work with more DIY!!!
Ok, my light duty pond rake is working better now that I'm learning it. Remember, it is made from a repurposed old basketball goal post. It is so ugly, and my gorilla welds are so bad, I won't post a picture to save you all from falling out of your chairs to roll on the floor guffaw laughing...
But I have a couple of before and after of some of the work so far. They were taken at dusk, so not real clear.
There is about 20 feet or more depth of weed growth along the banks. Here is a before pic.
Here is an after pic. I highlighted about 50 foot of shoreline and it made a compost pile almost the size of a volkswagen.
I can tell you this, don't attempt it unless you have a bigger utility tractor with MFWD and R1 tires. I'm using the FEL bucket, with the edge pointed straight down, to back drag the clumps of weeds up the sides of the bank. I tried it with my 4310 and it just laughed at it.
Prayer Bupps and Holly, our Nation, and for peace in the world.
Remember the bumper stickers: "Visualize Whirrled Peas"
