Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

on the exact same road I traveled last week up to NY, my young friend with his
very nice GMC with the baby Duramax was coming home pulling jet skis yesterday, was up on Lake Champlain,
and two deer ran out on 287. He could not swerve due to traffic.
thankfully he had a truck and could drive it home.
deer on an 8 lane interstate are bad news
resulting in the usual big red smear some place
and lots of broken plastic

am guessing it likely broke one small mounting part on that expensive
headlight and he's going to max his deductible for sure.

becomes a very expensive animal and you don't even get to eat it.

56F cloudy.

Been good day trimming and mowing all caught up except the front field mowing will be done tomorrow,cut up lot more kindling than needed now in basement for this coming fall.
Plans for the evening...feet up enjoy smooth cigar with spirit on the deck,afterwards just numb it until eye lids get heavy.

Enjoy your evening all.

He's well past his deductible with that one, headlight, bumper cover, and fender at least.

Sold our old Gator today. Sale went easily.

Church was good.

Wife wants me on a diet to lose some belly fat....she wants me to go low carb, but not totally carb free.

Putting the new blades on the old Deere LX5 cutter. Need to suck out the old gear lube in the gearbox and put fresh.

Been researching oils lately. Producers have reduced zinc and phosphorus to help catalytic converters last longer. But many motorcycles have the cam lobes push directly on a shim pad on top of the valve. These are referred to as "flat tappet" applications. Mobil 1 / Walmart is still selling a 10W-50 oil that has higher levels of zinc and phosphorus. So, that is what I'm putting in the FJR 1300 fairly soon. They recommend 10W-40, but this is Texas and I used to use 50w for road racing, so I will go with it. If you want higher Z & Ph levels, you have to buy their racing oil by the quart which gets pricey.

Son wants me to take him to the gym for a workout.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 8.8C and it's presently 15.1C, mostly cloudy with a breeze.

It looks like a typical week coming up, with no meetings scheduled. It is wonderful when your 'retirement property' truly becomes your ideal 'vacation destination'.

That's about it, take care all.

Tractors and Flowers
and snakes, a co worker moved him to the river to roam there. That is a rat snake.
hot day today as temps hit 94˚ at the farm, my cooling evaporative neck wrap came in handy.
Last day for the unicorn/sunflower festival, we are off for the summer - yeah!

got the small shredder blades done, fresh GL5 lube in gear box, promptly went and cut about 3 acres of fairly deep grass, had to go kind of slow because I only have 25 pto hp to deal with. Grass has not been cut since last year.

Gator is sold.

Nice puppy Buppies.

My best friend lost his 3yo female Golden Retriever. We are guessing a cotton mouth. Got her twice. She held on with vet care for 2 days. Vet thinks maybe a big blood clot of dead blood let loose inside her. We are all sad. He's tore up.

We both need to knock down the tall grass areas outside our yards.

I killed a mama scorpion with a bunch of babies on her back. We also have a crazy amount of wasps. Mosquitoes are on the loose too.

Work tomorrow.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 39° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 80° with hazing skies. Got garden pond cleaned up. Rest of the day was spent inside. Smoke from Canadian forest fires must be messing with my sinuses. Never made it to neighbor Picnic. Not sure what I will get into today.
Yesterday Sunrise showing thru smoke.

Kyle, sorry for friends Loss of dog.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All
