Making lists....
This week I got more done. It was finally time to put the boom to work and spray the bushes around the fields. It worked as expected and hopefully the application will do some good. I also finished the disassembly of the spindle from the finish mower. It has a lot of wear and no doubt isn't worth rebuilding. I also got around to plowing those holes in the spot beside the lake. Since Fall the holes have subsided even more and I doubt my plowing and disking will get the desired effect. But it is done. I looked at the 6 wheeler for a leak and found the fuel line was dripping. I cut line and reattached it to the fuel filter. No further drips were seen. With our temperatures reaching almost 80 this week, the lawn is growing quickly. I got out the zero turn mowers and mowed the worst spots before we had to return home. I think the fact that every time I remembered something I wanted to do, I put it on a list. Often I've been at the farm for a couple of days only to remember some thing I had meant to do after I'd started home. Next time I need to change oil in the 284 and the big tractor again. I am pretty sure I need to buy a Yanmar tractor to replace the 284.
So since my 2nd retirement I've hit the trails and weights. My goal, to return to my fitness level of 2024 Summer when I hiked in Canada...
