Been a while since I posted so I thought I might drop couple lines before folks thought I kicked the bucket or something. While the weather was good I took advantage and did some outdoor work. Paced myself of course, so nothing out of this world amazing as far as accomplishments.
Finished putting the lights around the new front yard landscaping where the tree used to be. All it took was a spade bit and my cordless drill, then just sticking the lights into the hole.
The riding mower made it back from the repair shop. It had to have a new carburetor. While there the deck was also leveled. So took it out for a spin and it did well. When I bring it in for winterization, I plan to make some modifications to the deck, but otherwise, it works great now.
Good news is that I am heading to stay with my cousin again for a few days. He is a retired Marine as well and always enjoy each others company. Somehow we manage to always get ourselves into some funny situations like this one below.
His dad is pulling the tractor with another tractor, I am steering it and taking the picture, while he is sitting on the front of the tractor trying to get it started.
We are always getting into shenanigans like this together. Our time is usually spent working on an old truck, tractor, or some sort of mechanical device. He is the mechanic of the two of us. I usually just help him out.
There is something therapeutic about getting away, spending time together with my best friend and cousin and fixing stuff and making it work.
Hopefully I will have some pics of our escapades to share and have some time to post over the next few days.
Thanks for reading,
Joe
