What did YOU do today?

I went to pull the battery out of the lawn mower last night so I could swap it for a new one today

Positive battery cable is shot, it basically twisted off at the battery

Went to remove it from the solenoid and the stud on that just spun

Well, yesterday I went over to my property for a couple tools and realized the yard there needs mowed. Unfortunately my lawn/garden tractor still has messed up steering and the brush hogs for the farm tractor aren’t working so that kind of set the pace for the day. Working on fitting the stump jumper on the 3-point brush hog. Lots of annoying file to fit work. It’s close to fitting, hopefully today I can finish getting the fit right and put it together. Got some help coming later so it would be nice to set it down so I can finish topside repairs then I can mow. Well, I need to modify or buy a PTO shaft too since what I have is too long.

Yesterday I backed the Ranger out of the garage, motor washed it and washed off the winters dust. I've got a few more tweaks to do and then it's back on the road for the summer.

At the city working on getting my oldest son's new truck registered. Since he is stationed in nebraska, he just has the paperwork sent to me and i do his title here so he gets to keep his military texas plate.

Some minor paint touchup on the truck and finished work for the grill. Paint is drying now.

Argued with the brush hog some more. It’s not done yet because everything with it is apparently a process.

Spent some time hunting for Morels with some local friends but didn’t find any. Grilled dinner for everyone, shrimp and fried rice with an egg roll, all done on the flat top Hibachi style.

After they left I spent about 5 or 10 minutes puttering around in the shop, picked a lock and filed up a key. Next step will be making a new key and pinning the locks to match the new key.

got the ‘11 escape back on the road again, has a starter button on the dash now. switch wasn’t bad but the housing for the lock cylinder must have enough wear that it needs replacing. Aint doing that. On the plug in for the ignition switch, the wires on either end are what need to come together for “crank” . 30 min vs 3 hours. Now on to the F150. if it ain’t one ford, it’s another!

Cleaned the windows on the back side of my house and three on the side. Inside and out.
My side gig is cleaning windows on weekends and I have pro-grade equipment.
My house is old and has old windows, double hung with 6 separate panes top and bottom plus storm windows.
Remove storm windows, climb ladder on the outside to clean 12 panes on each one, go inside and clean 12 panes on each one again, clean both sides of storm windows, reinstall storm windows, and add screens for summer.
If I was doing this for someone else I would charge a silly amount of money.

Then I was going to cut and bag the grass, at least inside the fenced portion, but then it started raining.
