Cleaned the mower deck with a wire wheel on the the drill & applied 'No-Mow' to help keep the grass from sticking. Then install the new G5 carbide blades (like everything else this year, they were extremely hard to find so I bought 2 sets).
Whatcha Up To???
- Thread starter Mike
- Start date
Did the weekly shopping.
Detailed both the mower deck & the tractor, then put it back together. Lastly I greased it & aired up the tires. Ready for another year.

I'll be stuck in the shop working all weekend. These ammo customers think these machined components I supply just grow on trees that I have planted out back and when they need them I should just go pick a few for them.
Made bread.
Made a big pot of bean soup out about 2 pounds of various dry beans left over in our pantry.

Progress pic. The base is about 6-7” of bottom ash mixed with Portland cement and compacted in layers. Now they are cutting in a beam around the edges which has rebar and then filled with a sand/cement mix. I had considered doing this job myself. It would have taken me 5 years after seeing what all goes into it.

Wow......horse feed is heading through the roof.......I will look around for better prices.......I just paid 16.00/50lb I was paying 12.50 for it.......
For real, the only critters I have is a dozen chickens. And that feed bill has steadily gone up month after month. Expensive eggs.
Currently 38 degrees with 10-20 MPH winds. Looks like the highs will only be in the 40s for the next 5 days, so the garden will be going in late again this year...
How's everybody doing today? I'm just sitting here thinking about what I need to be preparing.
I was going to go to Brenham to pickup 25 gallons of paint, but I not driving ANYWHERE with it being 33 degrees & misting rain.

They pretty much finished the patio project yesterday. All that is left is the poly sand between the paver joints- it started to rain yesterday so they’ll be back tomorrow.
