Hit 90 today. Currently 72 after a few isolated thunderstorms.

Went and picked up a lift today for the riding program. They have a lift in their arena but didn’t have one if at another venue. Now they have a portable one. Fits into a receiver hitch on pickups. Local welder did a really nice job on it. Lift is to sit wheelchair riders onto and off the horses.

Then came home and bush hogged till after dark. 2015 Kubota MX5200 hit 1,000 hours today.

Yesterday’s post. Fell asleep typing last night.

Today it’s 81. Been raining most of the morning.

Take care of birds and take wife to get shoes for kids. Maybe to Lowe’s for a few things.

If it drys off enough this afternoon maybe some more bush hogging.

good morning all.
David, I read here where a guy used a big excavator to run over a piece of bent metal, worked well; where's an excavator when you need one?

up to make breakfast, then heading East to Swan Quarter to see the shrimp docks. Hopefully they will have some other fish there too.

I agree
My original plan was to drive the tractor over it but the angle of the bend was too acute. Long end under the tire, Big crescent wrench and 6 ft pipe and I was able to get angle to point I could use the press. Only 40-50 pressings. Small adjustments, time consuming but I think effective. Had to be especially careful in beginning that piece didn’t slip due to angle.

In the coincidence department, Eric, the current issue of Home Shop Machinist has a small write up on a home made strap wrench for loosening over tight Albrecht chucks. It was made from a length of strip steel with a piece of 1" conduit welded to the end so the band would have something to wrap around. He used a ViceGrip type plier to hold the band tight.

And in the "you can't make this stuff up" department:

Rip, have you tried what someone mentioned, loosening the fuel cap a bit? Your tank may be creating a vacuum and trying to pull the fuel back in.

Wngsprd, somebody has to beat Alabama and Clemson first!

Mine stalls if i dont loosen gas cap. When yours stalls, open cap and listen, you will hear if it has a vacuum.

BTW, Ed, that same issue of Home Shop Machinist, features Part 3 of a series of articles on building a weaving loom. I think you can get a free issue to see if you'd like to subscribe...

Back in my lazy chair. Conduit is in place. Pulled 2 pieces of 12 gauge wire into circuit box. Sweat is pouring off me. Temperature is 82°. I do not know how others can work in temperatures in the 90’s.
