soon I can paint it.

I am painting wood for the packing crate coop run. Mid 90s and very humid.

Soooooo you know how they say things come in threes
4th of July my truck decided to have a transmission leak when put in park or reverse. I think a trany line.

Friday the car AC decided to only put out semi cool air. Must have a leak somewhere.

Today the lever to raise the mower deck has a bolt come out and I haven't found it...
hope a turkey doesn't eat it. This will have to be fixed first. I have the deck set low to mow where the e net fence goes and need to mow the rest of the uneven yard higher. The manual says you have to raise the deck before turning the knob to adjust the height.. Hopefully it is sae and I have one. I don't have many metric bolts

It's a John Deere 123E, it's really a sub compact tractor w/bucket ...
or I use it as a mower with a wheelbarrow
It was the only big thing on my bucket list.. .. well thing that I would use and worthwhile.
I don't have a bolt that fits, but stuck a smaller one in and made my adjustments... and removed so I didn't trash the threads.. will do until I go to town or I need to mow the e-fence again.

You are welcome for the southerly wind.
It took some doing, but I managed it.
Sorry Cappy, you are too far out of my range.
I hate it when things break, and I hate it more when they break on a weekend..
My AC in my pick up went out a couple of years ago. I don't need it bad enough to pay over $1000.oo to have it repaired. I can use the car..
DD took the truck yesterday. both of her vans have succumed to the heat. AC in one, tranny in the other.

Mus be tricky to mow with that bucket on there, eh....or do you take bucket off?
I have an ancient JD 216, I have repaired damn near everything on it over the years.
Electric lift lever is jammed right now, in high position, and am just not motivated to fix it, a bear to get in there....and might not until throwing season forces me to do so.

I leave the bucket on... definitely have to be careful and Martha Stewart would not be impressed with my yard.

Almost done the latest feeder build, and I am turning a potato bin into a nest box. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow.
