Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.7C and it's presently 15.5C, clear & calm. There was 0.7mm in the gauge @0900.

Grocery shopping went well yesterday except for being almost double the cost as I bought extra items for my guests, as you do. After lunch, I decided to check the fluid levels in the tractor. Fuel was down so I went to top it up = ran out of diesel. So, back into town again to get 20ltr.s, put it in my bowser and finish that job.

I decided to clean all of internals of my windows, then went on a 'cobweb patrol'. "Cathedral ceilings" are lovely, but magnets for cobwebs.

Finally got some Tractor Fun delivering a round of hay to the "Mad Agisting Horse Woman's" property, down the road a wee bit.

Today is continue to prepare the house for my guests, which will probably include a quick trip to the tip to recycle the wine bottles that have somehow accumulated. Heck, another empty bottle appeared last night!

That's about it, take care all.

Kathleen is going shopping with a friend today so I will be on my own for awhile We will see how that goes

I'm reminded of the T-shirt, "In my defence, I was left unsupervised."

The end result is to get 0 ounces of weights to be added on either side as shown on the screen
Ran very smooth on way home so was needed without really realizing it

If they didn’t do anything, and you perceived a difference, how do you explain that?

Wag, those pesky wine bottles are forever getting them selves empty.

That was after two applications of weights

Ahhh….
I missed that part. Makes sense now!

good morning, 72 going to 85, rain in the FC this afternoon maybe, it was also in the FC for overnight but no rain
Grass has brown spots

Up too early, don't know why

Worked on another storm window, changed the glass and sealed it up. Moved a bunch of tree stumps left in the upper fields down to final resting place in the back 40. Could easily bury them with the excavator but why spend diesel on that.

The business model for the tire store that rebalanced the tires is interesting. The check in area is more like a lounge area where customers can use laptops, read etc while waiting. At the counter the check in person writes up the service ticket with details like air pressure front and rear, torque spec for wheel bolts etc. He goes out and inspects the tires and write down wear and other observations and sets you up with text updates on progress
Then you can choose to wait in the lounge area or stay with the car and drive it into the bay. We chose to drive it in. He also gives you the time it will be called to drive in and then we wait for our turn. Sure enough right on time the team lead for that bay comes out and directs us into the bay using hand signals that he had explained.
He stays up front and directs the two people, one on each side. Four jacks lifts it up and they go about the business of balancing and rotating. All their equipment seems to be latest state of the art stuff
Despite all that they had missed the air pressure in the left rear tire and it was set for the front tire pressure of 47 psi and not 70 as it was supposed to be. Did not discover that via the tire pressure monitoring system until I was several miles dow the road. Did not want to turn around so left it and went up to the barn when home and grabbed the air hose and corrected it

Will see what I can get into today?

Drinking first cup of coffee. 59° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 90° with plenty of afternoon sun. PT was tuff yesterday. Did some conserve energy time in recliner after cleaning shop enough to start to new projects. Grocery shopping this morning. Then start cleanup of Mule. Need to take all the items out of compartments and bins that are not needed for tractor show. May cut grass in back field. Then back to recliner for some rest for my foot.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

m4070, I had tires done on similar machine for my motorhome in 2015. The screen in picture looks more updated than the one used back in 2015.
