What did YOU do today?

[racsan]

another therapy appointment, shoulder is technically improving but sure seems like progress is slow. Had new tires (&related sensors) replaced on her equinox. there was nearly a thousand gone like that. (and she thought my tractors were expensive?) Going to try & get the lower control arms on my escape. Its still chewing front tires up, Have a used pump & lift plate for the tractor so the 3-point will work again, Heard the locusts this past week so it could be a early winter. But its been in the high 80’s except for today with rain & 68. Almost feels chilly but its nice to not be sweating before Ive even clocked in.

Finished the panels closing in my slide out counter in my overland camper then helped out one of my friends with making brake lines on his somewhat ridiculous jeep cherokee project.

Painted old plywood and laid it down for a working surface under a car on my new to me 2post lift.

I installed a proper dual band ham radio in the 2019, cleaned up and organized the stuff stored behind and under it's rear seat better, and made more progress on the drawer box and a picture. I never really liked the repetitive nature of assembly line work and all the drilling, counter sinking, cutting and filing are getting to me. I need to stop to pay bills and setup a frequency list for the new radio so I don't have to hand program everything in one item at a time.

Looks great, pro built!!

Thank you. It looks better in the photo than in person but it will serve the purpose it is being built for and won't fall apart anytime soon. I still need to build the drawers and the split deck that will hold the actual items. The drawer box will just serve as the foundation to hold and store everything.

The grass is dormant but the dandelions and queen Anne's lace hasn't so I needed to mow... it's been a while since I sharpened the blades and I decided to get a blade balancer ($6 version not the $20 identical version, they're simple enough) so I sharpened two blades and replaced one since that one had been ground further than I wanted (had 3 spares so not a big deal). It worked about 50% better, the long stem flower type stuff is hard to cut with short blades...

After I got that done I mowed for a while then switched to the tractor with finish mower that's faster but less precise... Then I unhooked the boat from the F350 and got some stuff unloaded and moved the boat to some shade for now. I tried moving the '90 Ranger when I was mowing and apparently it's out of power steering fluid since it didn't turn for crap...

I also burned some weeds in the shop driveway, not the best idea considering the current fire danger but I was just working on the full gravel area, wanted to get to the edges but not a good idea...
