    Mechanical or Work Tips

    I did not find a proper place to make suggestions or to post work tips that may be helpful. Anyway, here is one that I just saw. It's a simple and handy way to measure the proper angle on a drill bit:

    Lawnmower Time

    Even though I have already mowed several times this year, the ZG125s needed some attention. So it got a new battery, deck stopper control link, and brake switch. The 2019 battery died and the other two items were erratic. .

    A bit of R&R this week.

    60 years ago my wife and I began a journey....together. We spent three days in Ocean Springs, MS, but mostly we just goofed off and ate. Flounder, Shrimp, Gumbo, Crabs, and she is seen above with a dozen "Char Grilled" Oysters. Yup, she ate every one of them. It's interesting to note that...

    Acute Appendicitis

    Friday I was hurting in my lower gut so a Dr. visit resulted in a CT scan. The scan revealed Acute Appendicitis so I spent Friday night in ER being pumped full of antibiotics and emergency surgery was ordered for Saturday morning. Everything went well and I am back at home now, sore and slow...

    No CC

    I got my oil changed and tires rotated yesterday. When checkout time came the guy quickly told me that 3.5% would be added if I paid with a credit card. I paid cash. A few weeks ago I had some welding done and was told that cash or check, no tax. If I used a credit card they would add 7%...

    Bent Rear Fender

    I was clearing a fallen tree a few weeks ago and one limb popped up and got my rear fender. Thankfully it did not get the hydraulic feed hose. There is a fairly heavy crease as seen from the side. And a frontal view. I know that this is just a battle scar, but I had to do something. Enter...

    Front Axle

    I parked the M4900 and saw that my front tire/wheel was covered with oil. Now that ain't right. This is from the bottom of the axle looking up. Cover gone and the bearing was shot. I was 46 miles from the Kubota dealer but a call verified that he had everything in stock. I got a new...

    Father's Day

    Quote: Sixty-eight percent of men studied in a recent poll taken by Omaha Steaks say they feel more like their father with every passing year starting at age 37. Twenty-two percent mute commercials on TV because of their father, one in four grunt when getting off the couch now, and another one...

    Spring is Here

    For us anyway. The Daffodils have already bloomed out and the Wisteria is now in full glory. The Green Maple is fully leafed out and the Red Maple is above it in the background. The backyard guest house seen on the right is where the school teacher lives. Yup, the grass has already been...

    59 Years Ago.....

    59 years ago today, Pat and I began our journey to forever....together. Just as a sorta introduction to my early life, I left home in July '61 at age 17 never to live at home again. There was not a problem except my folks could not afford to support me anymore so I had to learn to fend for...

    The Olympics

    We look forward to watching the Olympics, both Summer and Winter. The Wife and I were volunteer workers at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. We certainly were not competitors but wearing our uniforms and doing our assigned jobs was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity/experience. We had an...

    An Alternative Home Power Source.

    I say alternative referring to a dedicated stand alone unit or using a "death/suicide" cord with two male ends to jackleg power from a generator into a home. What I chose to do is not a stand alone setup but it is also not dangerous and is fully approved and installed by my power company. We...

    Firewood

    We spent the time between Christmas and New Years at the Cabin sorta relaxin', hunting, and there is always work. I had several 'blow down' trees across roads/trails that needed removing soooo.... I felled and skidded them out. Yup, what a mess. Bucked and ready for splitting. I split all...
