    How'd it go today?

    Obenauf's is good stuff. Used to use it on my Wolverine work boots. The leather lasted great, but the soles fall apart, so I quit bothering. I still buy them as they are light, comfortable, and I can get them on sale for just over 100 bucks I remember when I was about 7 my dad had a black...

    How'd it go today?

    Shopping for a new tractor seat. Wengers in Pennsylvania had one for $167 plus shipping. They had a number for the Deere equivalent. Wild ass guesses? $1100 and change.

    Birds Galore

    Oh, and I meant to mention Cornell has an app you can put on your phone that will listen to the bird and identify it. It's amazing to just set your phone down and see how many birds it hears. Merlin is the app.

    Birds Galore

    Couple mornings ago it was quite breezy. A flock of 7 Turkey Vultures were soaring effortlessly on the wind. They were joined by a pair of Ravens. First year I have seen them. After a while a single hawk joined in. A raven swooped down on the hawk as if to tell him we don't like your kind...

    I canned 31 quarts of tomatoes so far. Might try pressure canning putting some peppers and onions in. Going to try freezing some as well. They took forever to ripen but have loads of them now. Probably send some to farmers market if friends don't want them.

    We have a dirt track close by. If you get a hunk of mud inside the rim it will make your car shake like it has a flat. They use a thing called a mud plug to prevent that. Usually a lot more action on dirt than asphalt. My son raced there for a few years. I got out there a couple times...

    Maybe the hit flattened the rim and tire and then shoved the tractor ahead 1/2 a revolution.

    I saw the magnitude of damage. Still puzzled what it was that hit the rim and bent it. Unless they moved the tractor since the hit.

    I saw Bob 20 years ago and he wasn't great then. No interaction with the crowd either. He could have not been there either.

    How'd it go today?

    In 1974 I went on a cross country trip with a college bud. We started at Tuscon where we stayed with his bud there for a while. Next was Grand Canyon at late afternoon. Stayed in a lodge and saw sun rise. Went through Vegas around noon. Neither of us cared to gamble and too early for much to...

    The RIP Thread...

    J6 seemed pretty radical and a lot of mental disorders. Hang Pence. Hostages and patriots Trump says. Vance said of course the violent offenders should be in prison. I wonder how much shit he caught for that.

    How'd it go today?

    Went flying with my son early this morning. Mist from Niagara Falls 20 miles away going straight up. Never have seen it so tall of a column. Warm water, cold air. 45 this morning. Great flight. Fort Niagara at the mouth of the Niagara River, power reservoirs on Canadian and American...

    The worst are the heater a/c control doors/flaps. Underneath the dash and about impossible to get to. You have to stand on your head. Even figuring out how to operate a strange vehicles heat controls while driving is a challenge. The old 2 slides and a blower switch worked fine for me and...

    I took out the dash for my bud's fairly new Chevy pickup. Thing went dead. Found a place that refurbishes for a third of the price of a refurbished one. About two weeks total turnaround. He was happy. Easier job than I thought. I dread problems with stupid things like push to start or...
