Nothing but wind and rain here in NY, Pat. And 48 degrees.
At least I got rid of a truck load of bikes and parts this morning.
Then with an empty truck, I just had to go and get a scaffolding

Good morning all, welcome back from the weekend! Ended up working 4 hours yesterday, but did get some time at home to get some other stuff done. Ordering the floor heating system today, need the tubing at least before concrete. Almost done with the swing set for the grandkids, so I can focus on the truck!

Good morning, everyone! Had a nice weekend away from the grind but back to it today. Didn't really get much done or at least not much of anything that I wanted or needed to. That's about the way my weekends go anymore.

Good morning!
Productive weekend but not as productive as I would have liked. Saturday worked on replacing the cam on a rider which took several hours longer than it should have only to find the drive belt shot. Worked on a pretty nice John Deer garden tractor I picked up friday only to find the governor not working right and probably a blown head gasket. A neighbor dropped his rider off for a service only to find the blades totally shot and I just gave away a brand new set earlier in the week.
Yesterday I fixed the first john deere with the new belt and listed it, finished the neighbors and re-tested the JD garden tractor (still needs work). Pressure washed all of them and my driveway. Then took at 160 mile motorcycle ride with my buddy, his wife and his daughter. His daughter is on her learners permit so we were working with her as it was her first group ride. It was nice to get out for a long ride. Great for clearing your head.
Have a great week!

Good morning all, a wet soggy morning here in eastern Nebraska. We need the rain, though. At least I was able to finish up the grandkids swing set yesterday. That only took forever! Now I can focus on the truck.

Good morning, everyone! My kids started digging up flowers in the planter out front so I guess I ought to put in a sand box. What day can I book your services, Pat? LOL

Tasty Taco Tuesday Nebraska, Pat, Kenny, TC, George and all the crew.
Fortunately, no rain here for the last couple of days in my woods.
I hope everyone had a great start to the new month and Ma Nature is kind!

Man I wish I was getting the rain you all are getting. We got .15 ish according to people in the area. I keep forgetting to put out my rain gauge.
Mowed finally after 2 weeks last night. Things were getting pretty tall but the wife unit wanted grass in the garden so I let it go another week to get enough. I kind of got used to the Toro zero turn I've been using... Probably not good as I should sell it but it's basically free at this point.
I keep staring at the 71 and wanting to get to it. I'm hoping this crazy stuff stops around the end of the month and I can get back on it.

Good morning all, happy Day of Hump! Ended up getting just under 2 inches of rain at the house yesterday. Luckily that was over a 16 hour or so period. Friday, going to take a few hours off in the morning, need to run to the driveline shop to get driveshafts made. Then, on to exhaust.

Good morning, everyone. We had 2.30" out this way. Hope it dries up enough today to mow tonight but I have my doubts.
You're going to have that pickup on the road in no time, Pat! Will you have a party for the "first fire" day?
