    It was 83 in my truck on the way home from work. Loved it. Now we probably have to wait another 6 weeks before we see it again.

    Moved some deck stuff to the deck and set our new market umbrella. Boss is headed to DC on friday with one kid and one grand kid. I'll have to fend for myself for almost a full week.

    In all reality, I prefer a slow ramp up over flipping the switch on instant summer

    On Sunday, the crokus that were barely popping their heads out on Saturday grew 3 inches. I swear they grew 2 inches in the couple hours we left to run errands. Now after a few really warm days all kinds of things are popping out

    honey do project points yesterday. picked up 3 yards of mulch on the drop deck trailer after installing some plywood sides. I was able to drive the FEL onto the trailer to load the bucket and take it over to the flower beds. I used to need 5 yards, but we are reducing the yard maintenance a little at a time. more mowing and less beds! the deer eat most everything except the daffodils anyway :emptywallet:

    Well now ....

    The new gasket rope on the Advantage 2 T works sooooo nice that I decided to replace the gasket rope on the Prodigy 2 today.

    Cooled the stove off until it was just warm to the touch and then yanked the door off and went after it.

    A cordless drill with a 1/4 drill bit works sweeeeeeeeeeet to clear the old gasket out of the groove.

    Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and then suck it up with the vacuum :yes:

    Got the new rope all goop'd in place and gonna let it sit for an hour or so to cure before I rehang the door.

    The old gasket did not seal real well in a few places and the bottom area was worn in badly leaving a leak I suspect.
    The air wash has been pretty weak for a long time as well.

    We shall see... INDEED WE SHALL

    Got a new lower front fan coming and we are looking at the Mdisc drive. I think the fan became unbalanced as after I poked at the mounting it no longer makes any noises so I'll toss the new unit in the spare pile. Hedging my bets I have a new usb 3.0 reader/writer coming along with an usb 3.0 25 format card reader/writer I already miss the unit that the 4770 had. Cyberpower wanted a photo and I couldn't just insert the card and send it finding the Fuji cable could take forever in my pile of odd ball cables. Time to do a spare cable sort and destroy operation me thinks. Snowy I have three Linux systems installed on this machine along with my boot loader (Virtualbox under Windblows 10). Windblows can be good for something.

    So much for the warmth, Stove just came on. Hasn't been on since Monday morning. Heck even had the a/c on for a bit Tuesday evening. House was 78 ...... I bumped the stat down to 68 thinkin it wouldn't get that chilly tonight. Then I hear it fire up......... O well, Got a good 3 days of saved pellets. Might only need AM chill removers for the rest of the week by the looks of the temps.

    Nice lookin mower will, Hope not to be using mine too soon. Grass is still brown here. Barely got the weed and feed down before the Wednesday rain.
