Bump...

Yesterday I did a little touch up mowing. I plan to run the FS-90 trimmer with the brush blade a bit today.

Depends on when the T-storms hit...

Be well all.

Went and paid my property taxes & picked up a new belt for my lawnmower. Came home, changed the oil in wife's car then installed the new belt which seemed to be much shorter than the original so even after adjusting the spring retainer to it's longest position, I had to really stretch the spring tensioner a lot but finally with help from a couple of ratchet straps was able to stretch it far enough to get it on. After checking to make sure it turned ok, I then washed all the mud and grass from under the deck, darned crawfish mounds really stick to the deck when I run them over.

Afterward, it was relaxation time for what remained of the day.

Washed my truck, watered the yard, cultivated the tomatoes and harvested a mess of green onions.

I did NOT run the FS90... Instead I moved a ton of my Ex's stuff from my basement (that recently flooded) to the attic in order for the dehumidifier to have more impact.

There were 3 distinct temperature zones, nice and cool in the basement, tolerable on the main floor, and 6th level of Hades in the attic... OOF!

Be well all,
David

Actually yesterday, I spent the morning mowing for the first time this year at the farm with the 790 & 5' Woods finish mower.

Since I had to slow down & mow some of it twice, I ran low on fuel by noon & had to head home (after Dottie & I polished off a few hot dogs). Wasn't quite done, but close enough for today. Came home unloaded & washed the 790, then mowed the yard with the F525. Enough mowing for one day! ~~ Lowell

completely cleaned my F-150 up so i could swap it for the Ex's Flex I need to clean up and sell (can't afford it anymore).

I applied for about 20 jobs, called my health insurance to fix a massive screw up on their end. Argued with the ex on text message and email. Moved coiled and stowed 500 feet of hose. Fixed the door/gate to chicken pen. Hauled all my trash and recyclables to the dump.

Read TBN... LOL

I performed the 100 hour maintenance on my L4240 today. Made one mistake: I forgot to bleed the fuel line after cleaning the fuel filter. Tractor ran fine for a couple of minutes, then died. I thought I would have to bleed the air out all the way to the injectors. However, I was lucky: After opening the air-bleed valve and turning the engine over a couple of times, it fired right up. After a few seconds of spitting, hissing, and coughing, and after I closed the air valve, it smoothed out and ran fine. I was very pleased as the injectors are a bit awkward to reach with the loader on. I'll bet I will never make that mistake again.
