60+ year old thread.

Thanks for the video Jim. Brought a tear to my eyes. I believe everyday should be Memorial Day and all our service personnel past, present and future should get the respect they earned by protecting this country

Morning all:
The yard is getting OUT OF CONTROLL! Needs mowing, trimming, and grub treatment! I should have a nice neighbor that has a new JD.
Glad to see you back safe and sound Ken. Nice pics.!

Seems like we were just posting on last years memorial day! Hopefully we all see a lot more. To all that served!

 

welcome back Ken Nice pics.


to those that served - past, present and future.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.

I'll be on my way shortly.
Will only take me about 130 hours.
+1 to all that served

 

Nice video of the Blue Angels at work. They are the BEST pilots in the world. They used to come down and perform during the Navy Relief Featival each year at NAS Corpus Christi when I was stationed there. One year they were flying F4 Phantoms and the next year, due to budget cuts, A4 Skyhawks (not as impressive). They used our Operations hangar and we always offered to help, but they had their own professional crews and kept us away from the jets. All of them -- nice guys.

Great Blue angels video. Saw them numerous times at the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. They always put on an impressive show. Had a few hot pilots while on the Forrestal and they were told by an Air Force pilot who was learning the ins and outs of carrier landings "Navy pilots have big balls and no brains for doing what they do by landing on a football field that's bouncing up and down and side to side." He did finally learn how to do it. He took back the part of "no brains" but said "you still gotta have big balls"

 

Evening all.
Weather did not cooperate today.
Showers every 45 min so no plant work as the ground was still wet bringing out the skeeters.
Decided to retro the trailer. Still don't know if it needs a stripe down the side.
colors are close enough. Not going to pay 25 bucks a can for JD paint.
So she's good enough.
Sold and delivered my other tractor and push mower. Needed the room.
Before and after pics.
Guess it worked as she didn't flinch when i hooked her up.
Also added a battery tender connector for the winter.
Now i need some wiring diagrams....

 

$25 Glad you are not the type to bend over and take it. Paint job looks great on the trailer!

 

TY.

 

JD must think they have a monopoly on sheep as customers. I have had to do 2 repairs on my SIL's Gator and both times I was able to find the part for a lot less than a JD Rape Center. They are worse than a stealership of any car manufacture.

 

Rig looks great Mike.

Finally got the grass cut and everything trimmed and edged.

Hope the day was good for all.

 

I could of ordered online but I wanted it done.
Dam thing is 20 years old. I spent less than 15 bucks. Had some paint already for other stuff so I just used what I had.

 

Must be the racer in you. LOL

Always reuse what you have to keep the cost down.

You did a quality job on the trailer. The rims really make it stand out.

Sometimes I wish I hade a larger property so I could justify the cost of a riding mower and/or a Gator. My son asked the wife if we could get a riding mower, she answered with a quick no. The correct answer.

Everyone have a great day today. I am off in a while, with my son, to take another load of top soil to fill in ruts and a large hole at church.

I need to post up a few pics of the transformation of the front porch on the church rectory building. Solid mahogany.

 

The dump bed on the Ranger is proving handy for hauling off clippings and yard debris. Took off another load yesterday. In addition to grass clippings there was quite an accumulation of branches and leaves hidden behind our shed that I hadn't gotten to when I cleaned up the main part of the backyard. Funny part is, since I showed Kristi how to operate it, she drives it around here more than I do. When the grand kids come on the weekends they ask if they're gonna get a ride in the Ranger.

Have a great day all.

for the mahogany porch pics, Tom.

 

Almost 69 and still working hard.
