Checked in and my robins hatched.

My youngest and I finished weeding the garden, then set a mole trap, then packed up the bumper pull camper for a run to the shop, cleaned the 5th wheel camper and removed the door glass trim to get a new one cut. Its hot and humid again..... with the usual risk of a storm this evening. Better...

Its a milder morning today. A bit of cloud to mask the sun. Had to endure copious amounts of mosquitoes though. Did a quick weed of the garden and then enjoyed some coffee. A couple days ago, the sunset was pretty nice. No storms or tornado warnings, which was nice. Of course, without bad...

Changed the oil in my Craftsman T3200/3000 riding mower. Looking back on this site, I changed it last April 2021, used Co-op DMO CK4 semi synthetic 10w30 with Fram Toughguard. It saw little use that year and maybe 50 hours since. In went the same oil and a US made Wix that crossed with the...

The best? Whatever leftover oil that meets the grade that's sitting in my stock.

I wouldn't worry a bit. In many of these situations, why would a person pay a premium for PS specific fluid vs ATF? At Cambodian Tire cheap PS fluid is around 13$ a quart and upwards of 43 foe synthetic. Thats preposterous. I can get group 4 ATF, 7.7cSt fluid for 12 per litre and it works...

We have a 50 amp at the power box for rv hookup. I just use the plug that came with the Mach e. It charges about 8% per hour.

Just finishing up the cattle day. Went until 7pm. Ambient was around 27c but 35 with humidity. Everyone and their animals were slugging it out. Was a long day. Yet another 2 tornado warnings. System building to the north. This afternoon, north of us had 2 touchdown. Thankfully as the...

Actually, maybe a vehicle with corrosion resistance. This would make just about anything up here worth keeping.

This is just the name of the game up here. Our dollar is not worth the paper it's printed on, high taxes, energy costs, elbows up.....

The day started off with a little rain, then heat and humidity. The garden is coming along well. The late planted peas have sprouted nicely and I put more carrots in the other day. Then, yet another tornado warning. Again, we caught the edge of it and only got some wind and rain. There was...

We are hosting team penning this weekend. Tomorrow's lunch is in 3 crockpots right now. 9 pounds of stew beef.

I was told just a few days after application.

Ribs are on the menu.

Well, had one of those days. So, I went and did some string trimming at the end of the driveway and then brought out my old 2000 Polaris Magnum to pull the Swisher brush mower. So, of course, as I start, the mower is shaking violently. One of the blades was seized and of course was a pain to...
