John I meant to say about the computer a lot of corps and hospitals use the small forum factor desk tops.
You went from WIN10 to WIN11 should not of been to big a change on where things are and work. A few years ago Mary and I went from WIN7 laptops to WIN111 laptops and old because a lot of things on the web would not work with Explore LOL
Mine and think Mary's still had data room and were not that slow just things would not work that you went to visit.

When you are ready to move the dash give me a call as I can get away from Mary it is just the fur kids she really needs help with as she need to bent over to pick up or place bowls on the floor and that is when it hurts her.

James My Toro weed eaters were 25 & 23 years old two years ago and I bought them from Home Depot up north.
Swapping the attachments is great as I had the string trimer, edger, hedge trimer and blower.
Because of how old they are and 1 of them locking up, think wrong oil used in the mix I felt it was time to get new set up.

Today I dropped a good chunk of change for the Echo PAS-225VP it comes with the string trimer & edger and I had to ordered the hedge trimer.
They make like 25 different attachments and in time I may look into the pruner (saw) and power broom but if I can get my back pack blower working again I wont need the broom.
It sounds like you did what I need to do on my back property line as the brush starts pushing into the yard and I cant get the tractor back under it to cut the grass.
Most of the time I tow the generator with the tractor back there with electric hedge trimer to cut it back but the Echo with the trimer should be a lot easier.

I stopped to buy all this on the way back from Hope Mills. Kendra needed a code from a book for class and my son had already left for FL.
Nothing like driving and hour to open the door to get a code and hour drive back

I got the dash out, Andre came over to get me to ride with him to Four Oaks to look at an old Cutlass that one his tractor club friends needed help with, the rear brake drum was seized up and the wheel would not turn. So while he was here I had him help me move the dash out and put it on the work bench. The Olds drum was a harsh job, the shoes had seized to the drum from sitting for 10 years or more and it took both of us prying and beating to work it out, him on one side and me on the other. All the guts came out with it but that's enough for the wheel to be able to roll.

I put the wiring harness that runs along the frame rail from firewall to rear corner in today, I had steam cleaned all the connectors and generally cleaned up the whole harness. It went in pretty easily, probably the easiest one I will have to deal with. It was long but very straight forward, just clip it into the holders along the way. At the same time I created a new wire harness to run in parallel with it, blue / black / red which will ultimately go to the trailer wiring, for the case of when I need a 7 pin connector instead of 4 pin. I can finish wiring those up in the future but at least the wires are wrapped in electrical tape and run together from front to rear.

The mama cat brought the kittens to the garage today, or they followed her when she came to eat. I put some wet food down and they went crazy for it, I would guess this was the first time they had anything to eat other than nursing from their mother. Of the 4 kittens, 3 were terrified of me and scattered as soon as I stood up but the 4th one stayed and seemed more curious, he only ran away when I got very close. I think maybe in a few days I'll be able to approach them without too much drama.
