It rained here all through the night , drying up slowly now but looks like it will be a mostly cloudy day. I'm going out shortly to the shop to sandblast that small skid plate I made yesterday in the cabinet blaster and get some paint on it. Not much else I can do. Shoulder is still quite sore depending on movement..

Well I got that skid plate sandblasted and in primer and will get a top coat on this afternoon. My ball joint for the pickup arrived today so I guess one of these days I'll have to tackle that..still waiting on those drive belts for my garden tractor so in the meantime the grass gets higher...lol

I have to put some fresh gas back in the panel with some stabilizer. I have a 5 gallon can left from what I siphoned from the old Impala I might keep for the blower this winter..

Well, got the start solenoid replaced so now it starts reliably.. Mowed half my yard and turned it off several times to check it.... Started right back up..

Good morning Steve, hope it's no more than a cold. Take care of yourself.
We're taking the pickup for a drive to Dryden today, it's getting close to the time that we'll be waiting until next year to do those runs..

Will likely be a little slow going once we get to the main highway on account of the road construction. Fog has lifted now so should be good going down our highway..

Morning Steve, only had a few wait times both ways and there is only a short section of gravel with no oncoming traffic. Nice sunny day and probably should have stayed home and sandblasted being as it was a cooler day and today it isn't supposed to rain until this evening..lol
