Today was a little warmer and definitely more muggy than yesterday, but still pretty nice. I got my mower blades sharpened on the old bench grinder. That's still the fastest and best way to do it. I got the blades installed on the deck, then grilled out chicken thighs and ate dinner. Then I put the deck onto the tractor and mowed. I trimmed with the toro push mower as well. The rain that was looking like it was going to hit about 6pm from the reports in the am, moved out to 9 pm arrival in the early afternoon weather update. I needed that extra time. We'll be out on an inland lake in the boat tomorrow. It's supposed to be mid 80's muggy and sunny tomorrow after the leftover clouds from tonight's storms burn off mid morning and it'll get nice and sunny.
damm, it's freaking cold. Fell asleep earlier, wake up and damm I gotta go close windows or unpack blankets. And had a fire in the morning. LOL How many times are you allowed to backspace delete to remove an apostrophe before you realize it is a spot on the screen ?
It was great yesterday morning here. Without using any fans the house got down to 67* or maybe a bit cooler before I closed all but two windows. I was in a sweatshirt half the day until the sun started warming up the house a bit
67 f Here. Very overcast with intermittent showers. Also windy. Yesterday was fantastic, bright and sunny, low 70's F. Cindy and I went to Five Isles on the coast. We had a haddock dinner and enjoyed a nice view of the ocean and islands. Bay had pleasure and fishing craft moored. These pictures are not mine, but they show the place. The food is excellent. $$$
That deck looks like it has seen a few battles. I bet its twice as thick as what they sell today. It's shocking how thin they can make things today.
Most folks around here buy from fish markets that sell only freshly caught or harvested seafood. Nice thick cuts of fish. Fresh fish has very little odor. Fish caught near the shore tends to have worms. Our restaurants will only sell cold water caught fish free of worms. The advantage of living near the ocean is access to fresh seafood. We still have seafood stores, butcher shops, and bakeries.
Yeah, it's still super solid. If I had more time, I'd prime and repaint it. Maybe later. I can say it mowed excellent Thursday evening. Sharp blades really help, but so does a belt that's 1 continuous loop and a bearing on the tensioner pulley.
Glad it is working better now! Your pictures made me get off my duff and clean up my lawn tractor. Thorough cleaning, oil and filter change and air filter blow out. Greased all the zerks. Washed it down and set it in the sun to dry. It is basically done for the season. I use it to move the splitter around but the mowing is over til next spring.
Beautiful view there! Glad you enjoyed your dinner, sounds wonderful. You got me thinking of fresh off the boat fish dinner. Yum!
I noticed it too. I knew someone was having a bad day, I feel that. Glad it is back up and a thank you to whoever deserves it.
