good morning all.
Ten day forecast same as today, sunny, high in mid to upper 80's, lows at night in sixties. Nice Fall weather here.
All this dry weather means I have no excuses not to finish my outside painting, so when guest leaves on Monday, that's my goal for next week.
Folks to the West of me didn't get the nine inches of hurricane Dorian rain, so all this dry weather for them isn't so good. Should have a real impact on
the Fall leaf show.
Roy, oh my, I hope you are ok this morning. I hope you made yourself a nice ice cream smoothie when you got home.
Eric, nice job. Jim, nice job. Lot of talent here.
Mostly, don't you think you could have gotten a little more time out of that belt? I'd say you got your money's worth.
Sometimes replacement belts are higher quality than oem, hope the new one lasts a long time. My mower is five years old, 700 hours,
on original belt. An expensive JD belt, kevlar likely in it, and wow is it durable. I bought a spare and it's hanging on the wall, waiting, waiting...
I think at 1000 hours I'll replace it. JD service said they get up to 3500 hours on the mower deck spindles. I'd love to know who their supplier is.
I learned something new and interesting here this morning on another thread.
In Europe, they use chains as blades on their rough cut mowers, they say lasts longer than blades.
Talk about a
rough cut...but if one has rocks, and lots of them, interesting adaptation.
No dawdling this morning, have fruit to cut up for breakfast. Then we are headed downtown to look at the sights and perhaps
shop for some lightweight prints for the walls of the rv. Looks kinda bare in there, need to add some color.
You know, some velvet flocked nudes, dogs playing poker, the good stuff...
Then we are off to Bill's Hot Dogs, a local institution, for lunch. It's where you order your hot dogs "all the way" and they come out with
chopped onions, mustard, ketchup and a dab of chili. Between the onions and the chili it's heart burn city.
We might then head to the shrimp docks an hour East of here and buy some fresh shrimp
right off the boats for dinner Sunday tonight. We are going to a local seafood restaurant tonight. I've decided that going out to more meals is a lot easier
on me than cooking.
