54F, no wind, and overcast this morning. Supposed to be another storm headed this way later today, and I'm hoping for another couple inches of rain. The driveway held up pretty well from Friday's rain, but the tiny ridge in the gravel I left with the box scraper was enough to cause a little bit of rutting, so I'll need to be more careful next time.
Found a couple broken limbs from Friday's wind up near the gate, surprising since that area is somewhat sheltered by the hill top and trees lower on the hill were undamaged.
Probably get a start on income taxes today since it'll be too wet to get anything done outside. Always ticks me off that the first third of my income each year goes to pay them, and they're so complicated to figure out I have to spend even more money for special software or professional help. But I suppose there are worse problems, right?
sodamo, the bearing and bolt shops around here really try to take advantage with their pricing, but usually they have what's needed in stock and the few dollars extra isn't going to break the bank. But when the price is almost triple and the situation isn't urgent, I'll use the Internet every time, too. Best of all worlds when you can do the job yourself and save money on parts at the same time, isn't it?
Roy, the only place I have to put my hoe is a gravel lot, and every time I go to put it back on it's a struggle because it has settled and not sitting right. Not to mention the joys of crawling on gravel and losing nuts and washers in it. Some day I hope to have a spot on a concrete apron, hopefully under an awning, that'll make the job go a little easier.
Kyle, my old Wellsaw has a spring to lower the blade. I looked at Surplus Center for a hydraulic unit, boy howdy does that place sell a lot of stuff! Wasn't sure what to call it and came away empty handed. Can you point me in the right direction?
Here's hoping for a relaxing Sunday everyone!
