Beau just bought four new wheels for ‘Shadow’ the F-150 so she can comfortably glide them to Canada.

My VW (2001 - 58K!) is having some break issues so he has ONE DAY to get that fixed before he leaves for his fishing trip.

P.S. We don’t NEED any. more. fish!

Thanks. Got that out of my system, LOL!

New tires are a good thing and you can never have too much fish in the freezer. lol

The Sea Foam worked its magic in the tiller engine. It fired right up for me yesterday evening. I took it out to the garden patch and ran over the weeds and grass that are trying to undo all of my good work.

Cucumbers are up about 6” tall. Tomatoes aren’t happy with all of the rain lately but they don’t look terrible. Rhubarb plants have recovered from the transplant shock and are sending up new growth.

Weather guessers are calling for scattered showers tonight and through the weekend. I need to get sweet corn and pole bean seeds into the ground. I should do that after work today but I’m thinking I’d rather go to the sprint car races and leave the planting for tomorrow.

I forgot to mention that Good Neighbor Dave mowed my hay fields yesterday. The sun is shining and the wind is blowing so there’s a good chance he’ll have it all baled by the end of today. If he isn’t able to bale it today it’s likely to get rained on. Not really a big deal for me if it does get wet. When that happens Dave takes the bales that got wet back to his place (cows will eat almost anything) and brings me good bales for the horses.

And the water heater in the camper is officially toast. I pulled the anode rod out, re-taped, re-installed, and tested with line pressure. It’s not peeing out a stream like it was, but it’s not 100% sealed either. The guy I bought the camper from wasn’t particularly inclined in the mechanical sense and I’m pretty sure had no clue how to properly winterize the thing. He would remove the anode before winter, drain the tank, and leave the anode out until spring. That left the threads in the tank bung exposed to the air all winter long which caused them to rust. I’ve tapped them out a couple times and there’s just not enough thread left to get a good seal on the bung.

It’s always something. lol
