    I mean, it would have been worse to lose my lunch too....:confused:

    Honestly, unless I did misplace it elsewhere, which I'm finding increasingly unlikely, I'm not holding out much hope.

    Just returned from a beautiful vacation in South Carolina. Spent a week with my daughter and family and had a great time. 14 hour drive but had an extra day on each end for that.

    Caterpillar 426 sold and loaded up and gone this morning.

    It’s time to take a break for a while from all things computer related unless needed at work.

    Enjoy the nice weather coming hoarders!

    I’ll be back! :cool:

    On the fifth hour of a1hour job. Had to take break before I really blow a gasket.
    It was time to change the oil in the transaxle of my zero turn. There is on bleeder plug that I faught for 3 hours no I have to tighten them. Went to parts store and bought every combination of 18mm sockets and wrenches. Nothing works. pizz poor engineering.
    Just before I came in, I lifted the thing up and put another ccement block under it. I should be able to crawl all the way under now. Going out and give another try. Wish me luck.

    I just looked at the 10 day forecast and it shows high temps in the 40's, 50's and a few low 60's. Spring is hanging tough.

    At least you got it done.

    Some times engineering departments don't work together and make things more difficult than they should be. Imagine if it was a German ZTR. :rofl: :lol:

    I think there's a reason there aren't any German ZTR'S. :thumbs:

    I've heard just changing the engine oil on some ferris/ simplicity ztr's was a serious PITA. Apparently they rectified this, but it's a classic case of engineering departments not working together. What's when funnier is that the former parent companies ( Briggs & Stratton owned ferris and simplicity) are when based on the same city.

    I'm cleaning up the patio. I took down the wood stack there, and also an putting the snowblower away. It's upper 70's out there. Shorts weather.
    I split the last few rounds I had by the shed and stacked them. Some red oak, ash, and box elder.
    The middle bay now is almost 3 full rows, so 2 more and that will be for 2023-24. I have few yard carts worth of splits on the other end of the yard I need to stack in there. Outside of that I'm needing more rounds. It's mud season though so that limits me a bit.

    I did a couple shredder/hard to split pieces of ash. Very elm like.:eek:

    This weekend I'll get the new 4x4 piece fitted in the mailbox. The old one is rotted out and a new 2ft or so 4x4 piece will fix it and keep it from leaning. That's probably a tomorrow job as there's no mail on Sunday and it will be a little cooler.

    It might have hit 80° today. While cleaning and lubing the rollers on the patio sliding door screen door, I had a mosquito land on my leg. I killed it quickly. My wife had a skeeter try to bite her too. I saw a couple large dragonflies in the yard.
    It's still 73° outside at 10:30pm. Crazy winds from the south, which is why it's so warm still.

    God doesn’t show favoritism
    by Pastor Mike Novotny



    God’s kind of like Blake Shelton, one of the celebrity judges from the Voice. It’s a reality show where singers try to impress a panel of judges. Except there’s a catch. When the singers first perform, the judges’ chairs are turned backward. Why? Because they don’t want the judges to be biased toward beautiful people. They want Blake and his friends to hear the voice and not just see the face.



    Sounds a lot like God. The apostle Peter confessed: “God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. . . . I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right” (Acts 10:28,34,35). God doesn’t show favoritism. His favor isn’t just for people with that color skin, with that kind of hair, with those shaped eyes, or from that part of our planet. No, God accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.



    That’s a good word for a world with so much racial division. What matters most to God and, hopefully, to his people is the soul and not the skin. A heart that trembles in God’s glorious presence and longs to do what is right is worth choosing, applauding, and imitating.



    It’s so easy to judge a book by its cover and people by their appearance. Ask God today for the ability to hear “the voice” of someone’s soul
