Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Found out the 2" receiver on the ranger would not take my 2" hitch. Would not slide back. Felt inside the receiver, there is some angle to the inside, like it gets smaller in the back.

That doesn稚 make sense.

Finally caught up with you guys. Interesting stuff. I worked on my mighty craftsman a 25 hp model, about s 1996 vintage. I took it out banging out a path thru the woods last week, making a walking path for the dogs and us. Worked good, but now I am leaking 2 types of oil, motor oil, and transmission oil. Not good, I was given this thing for moving out of a shed, I put about 500 into it, mostly in parts. May have over taxed the old girl..... I'll see more tomorrow, I might be buying a new mower. I keep one at my wife's shop, and one at home, plus a walk behind at each, and string trimmers. I plan on pulling the engine out tomorrow, I should be able to see whats broken then.

Have a good one!

Got up with full tilt bronchitis this morning, went to a walk in and got a bag full of antibiotics, steroids, nose spray and albuterol inhaler. Then went a half dozen places with Ellen. Time to hit the rack.

That doesn稚 make sense.

I could feel ridges on the inside of the receiver. Think it's defective, wont let hitch in.

Good morning. It's looking as though nature has finally realised it's mistake of skipping a season here as the summer temperatures we have been enjoying for the last few days have dropped back to something more typical of spring time. It has been almost like living Texas - except no berries - or snakes

I've gone and broken a mirror on my Iskeki. After years of managing to negotiate some tight spaces without a scratch, I craked it in a wide open field while adjusting to get a better view of the harrow. The multi-faceted rear view it now gives is quite good, though probably illegal for road use, so I better see about a replacement today.

Good morning all, 46 this morning going to 63 and a 60% chance of rain this evening, 90% tonight. Hope to get the truck loaded with a little more for the dump and then unloaded. Then hope to get the snow blower out to the shed and out of the garage. Hope to soon get the LA 145 in the garage and get the valves adjusted. Wife says that if I can get it sold I can use the money on a mini mill to go with the old craftsman / Atlas 6x18 metal lathe that I got for $50 on Craig's list.

Have a great day, prayers sent to those in need. Ed

Can it be filed?

Kyle, Dick Raymond, in his book, The Joy of Gardening, talks about getting rid of perennial weeds in a garden. He worked it up and that day planted it in buck wheat. 30 days later he tilled it in with his troy built and planted buck wheat. He repeated that all summer and just wore the weeds out. Plant the buck wheat thick and it will build your soil as well.

The Joy of Gardening is my favorite gardening book ever. It is not a cute book on gardening it is a thinkers way of gardening and it works. Ed

Bronchitis is some better this morning but wheezing like heck still, but breaking loose some.

I think I slept too close to a crack last week!
Since I wasn’t breathing well, I got up put clothes into wash, made the bed, no need laying there coughing and wheezing.

41 and calm, heading to mid 60’s, no more frost for the next couple of weeks. I guess I can finally plant flowers 3 weeks late. Need to mow grass here and probably need to go mow Ellen’s, not sure her son has that in his plans when he visits mom.
See how my energy level is.

Prayers for the needy, and all my TBN friends.

Good Monday morning. Much warmer today, already 50 out, with rain coming in this afternoon and heavy rain tonight and tomorrow. Forecast is for several inches. It has dried out here, we can use it. Whether it comes down slowly is the real question.
Coffee pot just dinged, priority number one...
Randy hope you feel much better today, may take a few days.

Good Monday morning. Much warmer today, already 50 out, . . .

Good morning! Much COOLER today down to 50˚ feels like winter again. Winds from the North all week except one day.

Does anyone have stucco on their house? My brother has sone small cracks by his window corners going down and was wondering if this is just a caulk job or should he put in expansion joints? I told him I'll ask the "Morning Group", they are most knowledgable.

50 high of 56 rain moves in heavy at times 1 to 3 inches possible thru Wednesday morning windy too but no severe weather and that's good

Worked on estimates yesterday not much on things around house too an afternoon nap

Randy hope you feel better soon prayers for those in need

Drinking first cup of coffee. 37° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 69° with lots of sun. First morning without frost in a long time. Got a a bunch of little things done yesterday. Along with chipping up a bunch of tree branches. Ended day with some smoked ribs off Treager grill. Need to rest today. But weather is going to change tomorrow. So I will peck away at the to-do list until I am too tired to continue.

Randy, rest. Best thing to cure most ills. Get better soon.

Drew, looks like no garden for me this year again. To many things on the list. Going to be following you and others reports this summer again.

Prayers for all in need.

Good Morning All.

No red sky here this morning. Radar shows tonight we will get top end of storm you are getting.

 

[daugen]

And I just know you are sending that red sky my way...but for now, blue sky and nice day.
I'm headed out to do some early food shopping, and then home possibly to plant some things before the rains come.
Actually looking forward to a rainy day tomorrow so I can catch up on inside chores. I come in so tired from being on my feet six to 8 hours that the wash piles up, etc.

Two more 300 foot rows remain, with nothing in them. Kind of wondering what to stick in there, out in the open, deer smorgasbord, what can I eat that they won't?

. . . deer smorgasbord, what can I eat that they won't?

Meat.
