81F and partly cloudy @ 12:30, heading up to around 84F for the day's high. DP 68F, HU 65%, "feels like" temp = 87F.
Woman says it's hot out.
Good chance of thunderstorms developing this afternoon (90%) ... we can use it ...
Scattered more cracked corn and peanuts for the ground feeders yesterday.
Then went over and checked live trap in barn and dropped off a couple of sanders.
Had a customer so loaded up live trap and took it to the back for swimming lesson.
After that I was going to mow and just happened to look the hydraulic fluid reservoir on the Cub ... appeared to be empty ...
So I ran down to the mower shop in Massilion and picked up a quart of Amsoil 20w50 full synthetic with zinc ($$$) which is what they apparently use for fluid changes on those HydroGear transmissions.
Really didn't take much to top it off and bring it up to the "Cold" mark. Guessing they may not run it much to work the air out of the lines when they did the fluid and filter change.
Will keep an eye on it though to make sure we don't have a leak.
After that little irritation was handled, I took the coon up to the field and deposited him for the buzzards, dropped off the live at the shop for repairs, and ran down to the trashcan at the road and got rid of 6 empty mulch bags.
Then started mowing the front and got that all done.
Cleaned up the last of the gyro meat and the spinach/cheese pie from the Greek place for dinner.
Since pallet forks were on the Kubota I took it around to the west side and fished out the 16' long (?) PT boards which the Woman wants to use to shore up the flower bed.
Dumped those over by the frog pond to knocked the leaves off them. Still need to check them for nails that may need pulled.
After that I went back to screening more compost. Quit around dark.
Probably a couple more days of pecking away on that and I'll have it all screened.
Need to dole out another week's worth of meds.
Probably work on getting more compost screened before the rain gets here.
Otherwise see what else comes up.
Woman headed out for Goodwill with the neighbor lady, says buzzards are at work up in the field.
Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...
