Sorry to hear bout the issues, we have all been there.

Took the night off from doing stuff and had some family time. Took little man into the hot tub for the first time tonight. I had the temp real low like bath water. He loves playing in the water and I have a feeling I am going to have a little fish in a year or so.

Ordered the metal clip for the tractor rotor today from Amazon and it should be in on Friday. I also got the 2 valves for the auto chlorinator too.

I was upset about the meth head, and the bank thing. I only have 3 things should not be messed with two were directly messed with today. The third was indirectly cause I woke Lexie up yelling at theach meth head. In order they are Lexie, my money and my truck.

Theyou caught the meth head latter in the day. One main will do a refund on the second payment once they see a double payment in their system.

The tractor I was concerned about damage to the pump and having picked up to go to the shop. Tasked to the red dealer on the way home. He told me as long as I dont let it sit sho7ld be OK, it will just take some time to push it out.

Tomorrow is another day as long as I get up it will be a good day.

Glad little man likes the water.

It's the weekend!!!
The wife and kids went swimming in the pool for the first time this year, little man loved it. I got the new valve installed on the pool chloinator and got it hooked back up. I also installed the electronic point conversion kit on the tractor. Running out of daylight and the battery is weak so I am going to finish it in the morning.

18 weeks and counting till vacation!!!

Now you can do all the stuff you been putting off.

I was able to get the lower creek area cleaned up and bush hogged before the rain makes it wet again.

It already storming here at the house.

Husqvarna is trying to make us obsolete, they have come out with an auto mower.

We definitely have enough standing oak for the floors. Have enough hickory for cabinets may enough for floor if we want to go that way,

I got it up and running and then I mowed like crazy. I sure did miss having her running, I mowed in a little over 2 hours what took me 6 hours on the riding mower. I did a super good cleaning of the property. I had to cut up and haul off a dead pine tree. The pool pump was sucking in air, I tightened all the fittings and it works like a champ again. I put new battery terminals on the daughters truck. I had just finished mowing and weadeating the front yard and the rain started.

We are under a flash flood watch. The rain is La/Ms headed this way. I guess another day of reading building codes and budget building.
