Good morning!!!!

Nice flail mower Ron your place sounds very nice

daugen,
L4N, does running hot water over the sore parts help?
I never tried that. Sore muscles I can handle, but painful arthritis I cannot. Medical MJ solves some of the problem and lets me get a good nights sleep.

And you are taking it easy, right?
NO! I've got things that need being done. I can't rely on someone else to do them. He will work under my direct direction, but if I was to try to get him to do anything when I am not right there, then forget it. He has 10 million excuses why something didn't get done and all of them pure BS.

Roy, how'd that new Ruger shoot for you?

I didn't have much time to try it, but I got one magazine (10 rounds...5 CCI standard velocity and 5 Gemtech subsonic). Cycled fine.
I don't know why I thought this gun was smaller than it actually is, but it's definitely a handful...grips are 1911 style, so that should have given me an idea how big the Mark IV is. I guess I was thinking it was closer to the SR-22 in size.
I'll come back with some comparison pictures in a bit


You can see the Mark IV is quite a bit bigger...especially the grip


Adding the suppressor (which is 6.5" long) makes for a long gun!

Poured second cup of coffee. 27° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 60° with mostly sunny skies. Back to working at getting garden pond water falls working. Taking my time on this project. Great to be out in the sun and fresh air.

Deer are common around my place. But seldom see them during daylight hours.

Kyle, looks like you can watch the races on computer. AFT racing. and reruns on NBCSN

Jay, no more dead or alive snowmen pictures until next winter. I tried looking up translation for some of the words in your post. 澱ad, 殿berrant. Came back with no translation found. :confused3:

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.

24 right now...heading up to the mid-50's.

Well, got most of what I wanted to do, done yesterday. But I didn't get the backhoe hooked up....so, that's the chore today, once it warms up some...

I was impressed with this blurb on Ron's new flail mower, touting the very high quality
bearings used. Probably the Japanese version of Timken.

NSK is a leading bearing and motion control manufacturing company founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1916. Today NSK has several plants around the world including England, Germany, USA and Switzerland and by far one the best quality bearings available on the market today. Although these bearings are very costly, we feel that in an application with high load and dynamic forces such as a flail mower that such high quality bearings are required. These bearings are noticeably smoother, quieter, and cooler running than any competitor and far superior to any no-name brand.

And I'm sure there is a Chinese equivalent of the same quality, but how would we ever know which one is good?
Instead we whitewash all Chinese goods as potentially substandard.

I always ask for Timken and I always look for the country of origin on the bearings.
Usually that gets me odd stares...

Good afternoon all. The last few puddles from a light shower of rain are rapidly evaporating and the sun may yet put in an appearance before the afternoon is over. My right arm is still a little stiff after spending most of the day yesterday gripping the loader joystick to load cow muck into the spreader. By the end of the day two fields had taken on a distinctly brown tinge that for once wasn't mud. It was also my good deed for the day - I made an awful lot of flies very happy

I'll drag it smooth with the ranger.

A chain harrow would smooth that area out very well.

Yea, but i aint got one, so i will use an old pallet.

Dragging a poor old defenceless pallet around a field behind your ranger If the pallet huggers on the Pallets in Fields thread see that, you're gonna get banned from TBN. :laughing:

Roy when my wife tried the 22/45 she said it was too heavy but I think she meant too large. She has handled my 40 SA Springfield Armory 3.8in barrel and said it felt better but heavy. Still awaiting arrival of SR22 for her to look at

funny I was chuckling about that thinking of him asking his wife to sit on the pallet for more weight...though some kids would find that great fun until someone got hurt.
I've got it, a nice recliner on the pallet for his wife, so she can ride along and helpfully advise Buckeye on how to better drive his tractor. This I would like to see...

Added a couple pictures to post #74864 (above) so you can see the size difference. The backstrap on the SR-22 can be reversed (manual describes how to do it), so she can try both to see which gives her the better grip. Did you order the model with the threaded barrel?
