Good Morning!!!!!!

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Woke to 42 here.  Nice calm morning.  We got a lot done yesterday so feeling good about that.  Got some low hanging branches cut down.  I stand in the back of the Ranger and the wife keeps me situated below our target branches.  I either snip with the extended loppers or cut with the Stihl electric chain saw.  Man I really like it.  Light for these kind of things and quiet.  Dragged some out to the big pile in the pasture and cut up some for the fire we had going.  Did that till the Gopher game started.  Slept in the camper too.  Today give the back a break and watch the Vikes.  Gonna be a good one.  You all have a good one too.

Morning boys. 52 here and heading for 63 today.  We ended up with .46" of rain yesterday.  We just relaxed and watched movies with my parents  yesterday.  Nice and relaxing.  Theybtook off early this morning.  So we are just sipping  coffee and thinking what projects  may get tackled today.  Have a good one boys.

[LPS]

Oh ya JB that was what that tent was for.  Since we were camping last night the deep bass was there all night.  We tried to guess the songs.  LOL  Not a clue.

Morning boys. 51 here and heading for 66 today. Didn't get many projects done yesterday. Ended up watching the Vikings game. At least they won so it wasn't a wasted afternoon. After that I sprayed the buildings with tempo and the we went for a Ranger toodle. Getting ready to head into the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

Good Morning! 41 here to start the day. I'm off to a friend's to get some peppers. Pepperpalooza is on Thursday. Peppers are not at all what rhet were last year. Here is some of last year's bounty.

[LPS]

That is a lot of dangerous colors there. LOL

Mornin gang, we had 47 when I looked the 1st time & we should see 68. My brother might be headed to town today so I think I'll run out to the new shed 1st thing & pop that tire back off the old mower. That way he can drop it off at L&M today & we should be able to pick it up on Wednesday. It was a little low again yday. I started the leaf blower & mixed some fresh gas for that yday too. I'll be needing that soon. No more now, have a good day.

Think I'll try to get some wood split today so I'll have a full pick up load in case I get an urge to run to deer camp with a load of wood and hunting things. Won a $100.00 Saturday night at the raffle in Carlos. Too bad it cost me $200.00 to win it. I should be in politics with that kind of fiscal management. Need to pick up three gallons of RV anti-freeze sometime this week and get that thing winterize. It's Monday, bag up garbage and take the can to the end of the driveway day, later......

[LPS]

Then it's a good thing you won Glenn's football pool.  That will last you till next Sunday.

      Good morning campers. A nice 42° when I let the hens out this morning. Cool air is nice.
      Nothing big on the agenda. The mower did some really strange things late last week. I think it has multiple issues. Local repair shop has it. It won't be too long before I need to get the snowblower ready.
      Stay safe everyone.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 41 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 60's. Got my civic duty done by hauling one of the octo's in an Owatonna assisted living to the potluck car club picnic. The picnic itself was an absolute cluster. I was somewhere in IL, but at the last meeting, they'd decided they were going to have burgers rather than steaks. $$$$. OK, fine. So yesterday they haul a couple of their gas grills to the park but the people who brought them didn't want to run them. WTH? They also brought no utensils to flip the burgers. WTAH? The one guy had a plastic spatula to serve some bars he'd brought & I grabbed one I had to dish up our apple crisp. We took the reins to run the grills, neither of which heated evenly. A few people started bitching at us that they wanted their burgers well done. Good grief. Wanted to tell them this ain't Burger King but bit my lip & soldiered on. Some of them would bitch if they weren't hung with a new rope. At least the octo I hauled back to assisted living appreciated the efforts. More yield estimates to finish today then on to bigger and better things.

Yep...  Guys like to boast about being the GrillMeister for their family or for small gatherings, but when its for a large group of people, they don't know what to do and wilt.  A man's got to know his limitations.

It takes, leadership, planning, and experience.  Ask for volunteers and you get a bunch of responses: "I'll bring the buns."

Good thing you were there Dotch.

      My mower is a 4 year old Cub Cadet. It's done already. I told the guy I would come in later today when we go in to town. It's done alright but I will admit to maybe sometimes using it as a bush hog. I do abuse it but I keep up on maintenance.
      Wife saw a nice, commercial grade zero turn she said I should get. Then she looked at the price. She said I should get another string trimmer.

Yea mines a simple pushover. I stepped up my game and came with self propel and bagger... neither of which I  wanted... bit just plain Jane pushmowers seem to be a thing of the past!

[Dotch]

These newer plain Jane push mowers are such pieces of crap sometimes. I bought one a few years ago that has worked just OK but runs kinda rough. Looking at the dipstick, guessing someone overfilled it with oil. Should take only 15 oz. Want to change it but it's one of those with no drain plug where you have to run it out of gas so you can flip it over to do that! What a frickin' joke...

on a side note........once i brought my new mower home i put the other one on the street............FREE.........its still here!!!! suppose it didnt help the sign said free......its a piece of sh!t!!!!!

sat AM i changed it to just free.  my neighbor across the street told me he liked my first sign better!!!!!!!! :happy1:viffin it dont go........it'll make the trip north, i'll put it om the corner....free,...........them scavangers up there will fight over it!!!!!!

We bought a cheap push mower from FF about 7 or 8 years ago just for using under low hanging trees and bushes. It's getting a workout this summer with another lawn in town that we are mowing. It is running just dandy.

I did check & there's nothing there or underneath where some of them drain. Here's a youtube of the procedure with the same model I have. Could also buy a siphon thingy but you won't get as much oil out as you will by flopping it over & allowing it to drain for a half hour. Can also take the blade off to sharpen it plus clean all the gunk out from under the deck since mine is set up to mulch. Still a dumb arrangement.

That's # 2 with 2 1/2 weeks away my guess of 7 will be pretty close!!!

I did get the first pile of wood split yesterday. Got a about a pick up load and a 1/3 laying there. Camper is getting winterized today right after my covid shot this morning. Thinking I will be at the kid's place this afternoon to work on his addition again. Enough for today, later......

[mike89]

mornin all, 48 here and again going for 71 today...   a nice day yesterday..  got the car repaired
and ready for the next issue to come along...   11 year old car is doing good over all..   got a few things
to do today and then??  have a good day all.. 

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, 54 to start & we should see 66. My brother never did go to town yday, so it we'll be waiting 'til tomorrow. Think we found the leak on the mower tire, we had a small bubble at the valve stem. So, we put a new core in & it seemed to be holding yet yday afternoon. Decided I needed to run the leaf blower so I went down the drive early on, then mulched 'em later too. I mowed out back again as well. I'll  check that tire 1st thing & it'll go back on the mower if it's still holding. 'Bout it here, have a good day.
