Most of the flat tires I get on my riding mowers are directly related to some branch or piece of branch on the ground near a plum tree -- usually you cannot even see it if the grass is tall. Then you proceed to the shop, turn on the air compressor and get out that jug of green slime.
Well, I have to admit the cumulonimbus was more responsive than my damn horse,,,
Overall, it sounds like a decent day.....Well, I have to admit the cumulonimbus was more responsive than my damn horse,,,
Your lucky, gas is about 3 bucks a gallon here....but their widening every freeway in the state, even I-10 to Tucson is getting another lane.
Yep, your numbers are on the mark.
Price of most everything is getting ridiculous, especially automotive related.
Yeah. The last time I was on a new car lot (while my truck was in their shop getting a new window motor -- I really miss hand cranks), I wandered around looking at the new vehicles (insatiable curiosity). Of course, a salesman ran out of the building to snag the "customer" (which he found out in a hurry that I wasn't). I asked why they thought all these vehicles should have such ridiculously high price tags, and the best he could come up with was that he has wondered the same thing.
They are likely texting. Or stoned?
More likely asshole syndrome. We got tons of assholes like that around here.
I think I have only used my cruise control maybe 3 times in the past 2 years.
Being as the nearest city is 45 miles away, I use cruise control whenever I go out of town.
AC is a necessity to me in a closed vehicle when the temp is above 80 and Cruise is really nice because everywhere is far away. 48 miles to Newell from here and only about three curves in that entire road. When you have 15-20 miles of road straight as an arrow, cruise has some advantages. Power windows? Take it or leave it. Power locks? Don't need it. I have seen newer cars with more buttons on the steering wheel than any car needs on the entire dash board. It is all a bunch of totally unnecessary crap in my opinion. Auto dimmers and mirrors that change when a light hits them? I feel like I am capable of tilting a mirror if I need to. I do not want a vehicle that thinks it is smarter than me. Oh, and now radar to automatically brake your vehicle when IT thinks you are too close to the car in front of you. If you don't want to be a responsible driver, take a bus. Oh, and the radar your car sprays everyone else with... and the speed zone signs that tell you how fast you are going... RADAR causes cancer! Do you really want somebody's car or road signs spraying microwaves all over your body? Now you can't even drive or walk on a street in this country without your health being adversely affected.
My steering wheels have all kinds of buttons I have no idea what they do, and don't want to know, never opened the owner manuals.
88 °F here with 55% RH (= "feels like" of 93 °F). Lots more mowing... lots and lots more sweating...
I bet Rich....rained so much I assume the grass got ahead of you.
It's really nice to have the grass grow so fast in the pastures, but in the lawn areas, I have to mow nearly every day to stay ahead of it.
Don't doubt it, the ground is prolly at its saturation point.....or Certainly was not long agoSeems like the grass is growing about an inch per day and the damn dandelions about six inches per day,
No, that long drive is one day per month, usually the fourth Wednesday (SS payday).
Right on, you can try to keep cutting the grass as fast as it grows.
The surface is now dry. I can walk across the horse corral without sinking in. The Foyer in front of the cow barn is still deep and wet (lots of churning). When we first got here and I had to dig some holes in one of the lawns, I noted that the grass roots go down about 18-30" and I am pretty sure that, at least at the moment, it is still wet down there. And, of course, we're still getting the occasional shower to refresh that.
Lannie used to harvest some, but I don't know if she still does. We have, literally, a million of them. The flower is good for one thing, the leaf another, the roots something else. To try to harvest all these yellow bastards would be more than a full-time job,
I suspect we have a bunch of those mixed in too.
#MeToo...Juice...no dairy for this guy.
I never tasted it, I was prolly 10 years old when granny had me pickin dandelions.
I so rarely drink any form of booze these days... always had a Black Russian or Bicardi & Coke back in the days when I was a dancing fool at the local bars. All the husbands went hunting and it was my personal responsibility to dance all night with 40 wives...
