Wow, looks awesome!

 

Really looks great!!
Making things by hand always takes longer than most people understand, that's what quality is.

 

"These take a ridiculous amount of time to build. "
But they look awesome!

 

3-1/2 hours of mowing & trimming today, the homestead looks pretty passable -- from the road. (Especially if you drive by quickly.)

 

Installed a new instrument panel for a customer today… not a bad job but was hot and the sweat was dripping profusely! Dealer wanted roughly 700.00 including the panel to install this… panel was 240.00 I quoted 100.00 … about 1.5 hours…. Then I tried starting the tractor… battery dead customer on vacation …. I took battery home to charge it… it’s always something. I personally not a fan of the green tractors. Now my thoughts are… when was the last time this thing ran… probably won’t start ​

 

Me and green tractors aren't getting along so well either at the moment.

 

Oh boy , I have one . What am I in for?

 

Lol parts to me seem expensive …. But just like any other tractor…. Nothing lasts forever

 

The one I'm fighting with I got from the B-I-L, it is 20 years old and a tree fell on it.

As long as you avoid doing something similar you are probably safe.

 

Lol. Yep understand. I don't like that mine has a sealed transaxle. "Lifetime " more like "disposable "

 

You don’t carry a plug kit? What about adapt, improvise and overcome?

 

Do you guys see a lot of poison ivy / oak around you? I swear I'm just a magnet for it. So frustrating it seems to take over my flowerbeds in just a few days time. I was gone a week this time and it had grown about 7 feet straight up the side of the house. It's such a pain to deal with! When I tackle it I always wash myself and all my tools down with tecnu twice and yet here I am already with bumps forming on my hand and forearm.

Now I've got a pile of it by the garage that I need to figure out how to dispose of. Normally I use the green dump for $20 a truckload but I don't really want this crap all over the bed of my Taco.
What a pain!

Good morning all, off early today to chase another camaro in MD. 69 red!

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!!

Happy Sunday to you! Looks like a good day to spend at the pool. We were weathered out last night for the planned hot air balloon flight - winds aloft were too fast. We have flights scheduled for tonight, Monday and Tuesday - hoping the weather cooperates.

Stay safe out there!!

 

I've always just carried AAA and had a kit at home if I needed it here. Ordered a decent kit to keep in the truck but now I also need to deal with the airing up after plugging issue.

 

Morning PA!

Another early start at work after a long night!

Pulled in the final for the Goshen Fair tug-o-war and we won! First time in a while. Sore all over but it feels great to finally get a win after a couple of years in the final pull.

 

Good morning. Grass is growing slow with all this hot, generally dry weather, but it is not burning up yet. It looks like I am going to get a few more days between cuts. That's good. After cutting for 4 months, I am getting tired of doing it.

 

Mornin’. Second cup in, third coming up. Looking forward to golf w/ my nephew and his 7 yo son this afternoon. Should be a hoot, them laughing at me that is.

 

Have a good time!! Haven’t played since my FIL passed a year and half ago… always a good time if the play isn’t SLOW
