I changed the oil and filter on the Kubota BX2200 tractor that I bought new 20 years ago.
Also lifted the mower deck and sharpened the blades. It has three.
I assembled an Agrifab tow behind broadcast spreader and spread two sacks of weed and feed and five of Grubex.
Then I installed a new wiring kit on the Fimco 15 gallon sprayer and installed a Chapin four nozzle boom wand. I should have added a boom years ago. It is powered by a car battery
Here it is backed up onto Rhino ramps for the oil change.
I then sprayed 60 gallons of Talstar Professional pesticide around the property.

Great to see you can still find genuine Kubota parts for your tractor. I tried to repair a generator for a co-worker and the parts were discontinued

Just put a new multi valve on the pool filter … got it pumping again … now to get the pool clean 
My daughter is coming up from CT. Going to change the oil and air filter in her 200 Limited. Finally getting around to swapping off the snow tires too. Couldn't do it in April when I had covid.
Ready to pass the torch too, as her guy asked me for permission to marry her. They all grow up so fast.

I replaced the turn signal switch a week ago after I pressure washed the tractor and got water in the original switch that had served for 20 years. I bought a new pressure washer and got some water in the instrument panel. Genuine Kubota parts are available which is why I am glad I bought a Kubota The newer upgraded switch is waterproof. It cost $13 from Messick’s. It is part K2561-6224-620.
House was built in 2002.
The section you are looking at faces east so we get the morning sun. It's 19 years old. One other section to the right needs to be replaced as well. I didn't front half of the house 3 years ago.
The section to the left of the picture faces South and was replaced 6 years ago. That section deteriorated so badly that the eavestrough was full of granules. Cheap crappy three tab IKO shingles.
I went with Certainteed architectural shingles. They are rated much better by some of the roofers. I've also put underlayment or ice and water shield under the entire roof and installed ridge vents where I could. I even installed a ridge vent on my shed. When it's over 30 celcius (100 F) it's much cooler in the shed.
If you want to go with Certainteed even if you get a roofer to install they are available at Beacon building products. They have many locations, so I'm sure there is one close to you.

topping off transaxle gear oil. Transaxle gear selector seal/bushing was loose & leaking slowly.
Bought the auto. trans seal by mistake, found the proper one stuffed inside the shifter rod bellows. (win),
packed it back in the recess, no more 75w-90 drippy. Poured the old lube back in, measured 10oz more, then the slow drip
indicating 'Full'. Now at least I have the two unused new axle seals if they ever do start leaking. : l ( Infiniti G20 )

Welded on some new d-rings to my trailer so I can try straight strapping the Jeep down. For some reason lately, the Jeep has come loose the last few times I've towed it. That's not quite ideal. People on youtube claim that straight strapping is the way to go. So I imagine a combination of both should work well for me
My 3500 is throwing a p0111 now. Still runs fine but it will not clear. The harness is getting the 5v reference signal but I could not find a test procedure/resistance chart for the IAT on this truck. Between two of the 4 pins I got resistance that changed when I blew over the sensor but I had nothing to compare it too.
Sensor looked fine and was clean but who knows internally.
Next up is to see if my scanner will do the intake air temp reading. Regardless I will probably shotgun a sensor in it.

Changed oil, filters and drain plugs on two of my cars yesterday. Have a tensioner kit for the Benz and Toyota may do that today or do them on diff days. Planted a vegetable garden but my cucumbers died so I have to buy new ones and Covid has cause prices to be sky high. Oh also cleaned the Corollas throttle body.
Probably will cut he grass today I'm just OCD about it, even though it's not that long.

We've had an intermittent small stumble upon deceleration in the Elantra since about 10k miles. I took it into the dealer, but it wasn't triggering any DTCs, so they weren't able to help. In 2020, Hyundai released a TSB to replace ignition coils with an updated style coil if this symptom was being experienced and if any misfires were being counted. More information can be found at this link, as @OilMagnate posted a thread on this topic.
So, I finally got around to replacing the ignition coils today, along with the OE Yura spark plugs with a set of Bosch 9686, double iridium fine wire OE replacements. The OE ignition coils are around $85-90/ea on sale, which for a Yura coil seemed like a pretty steep price to pay. Unfortunately, there's not a ton on the aftermarket side, so I explored fleaBay. I found a set of OE coils from a pretty well reviewed vendor for $140 for all four, so I pulled the trigger knowing that I may have just flushed $140 down the drain. They came in and looked and felt normal; all the correct markings in place, same size, primary and secondary resistance checked out okay. So I went out today and threw them in. Here's the Yura plug that came out. I'm not familiar with Yura plugs, so I don't have anything to judge this against. They looked pretty similar to the plugs that were removed in the thread I linked above. I'd say that for 65k miles, other than looking a bit wet, structurally they look fine. I'm not sure that I would recommend going the full 105k miles that is listed in the Owner's Manual before replacing them, especially with some of the stories I've read about concerning these plugs. However, for 65k miles, I'd say they did their job.

Dusted and vacuumed the apartment yesterday. Today I put a used compressor on a 99 Silverado. Customer took it home to pull vacuum and recharge the system himself. I dont have any ac service equipment. Put new seals on the compressor so all should be good.
2009 Toyota Sienna - CV axles, output shaft seals, struts, tie rod ends, etc...
It belongs to an older lady and I believe that she takes this thing stump jumping.
She actually lives down a very rough dirt road as it’s completely covered from one end to the other with dust and dried mud. It’s also used as a truck more than a people mover.
Even with all of these problems, the van runs like a champ! Well,....now it rides like a champ too. Lol
