May 2026 all-topic thread.
The older you get the faster time flies...Can't believe it is already the fifth month of the year.
Anyway to all who are left, here is the May all-top thread, a day early, so I don't forget.

TGIF Nor-Cal!
Section 8 lowered my portion of the rent for this month and next, and yesterday the landlord raised my rent $71 starting in July. I went from paying $368 a month to $319 a month. I am praying that section 8 will absorb the $71 so I can keep my portio at $319. We will see what happens.

We've been in fog soup all day yesterday, and today is starting out the same.
However, we made it down to DreamPower Horsemanship yesterday. A nice venue for a good cause.

I’m just sitting here watching grass grow , I just mowed it and it seems it’s already grew 3/4” per 1 hr, the earth is still making dew and the creek is still running slowly , Oregon has just put six county’s in a drought conditions, unfortunately we’re in one of those counties, I’m gearing up for Tuesdays Halbut fishing trip , hopefully the seas will be calm .

The situation was made worse when I discovered that our walk-behind mower needed a new carburetor. When the mower sits for 9 months of the year, the old carb just doesn't like it (even though I run the carb dry on shutdown).
When a replacement turned from days to weeks, I broke down and got a 42" electric zero-turn mower. Wow! What a difference! It took me at least 3-4 hours to do our approximately 2 acres with the gas-powered walk-behind, and now I do the whole shebang in less than an hour. My only challenge is that it won't dry out enough to get out there and mow it.
