Saturday, March 27th., 2021……
Another stunning day! I was up and out with Rylee and did our walk. The
sun was out and the winds were non-existent so after I got back from getting my
breakfast, I loaded up butthead and we drove over to Cheadle Lake for another
adventure. This time we went from one end to the other (probably 2 miles round
trip). I still have more to take in but
I’ll save that for next time. After
relaxing a while, I went out and pulled the boat out of the garage (into the
sunlight!) and put the last two seats in. Then I cleaned out the tools, loaded
back the anchor and ropes and the life preservers, and re-installed the bimini
top, and then covered it up and finally moved it back under the carport, where
it belongs. I re-installed the jack on the new trailer and that was done. I
just need to get some material to wrap the trailer wiring into a harness. I hosed down Rylee (again) and came back in
for a while. My neighbors all are out
working in their yards. Three of the six are mowing today! Dang it!
My grass is way too wet for that. I’m always the last one on my block to
get to mow. Oops, I forgot about one - the neighbor to my right in the
Victorian, who doesn’t mow at all and always waits until the end of summer to
have someone mow his three-foot-high weeds! I watched my auctions and then
turned on the tape of the Bristol Nascar truck race. Only I found out they are
having trouble with the dirt that they added for this weekend and they won’t
race until they figure out how to not blow the right rear tires off of the
vehicles which sliding around on the dirt will cause. It’s on hold until
tomorrow along with the Cup race. I hope they figure it out! But I still had
plenty of hours of Barrett-Jackson to watch. I ate leftover pizza for a late
lunch and just had a salad for dinner.

Nothing planned for today. I made coffee and had scrambled eggs for
breakfast and hung around the house for most of the day. Rain is forecast but
not anything big this time. I think we’ve seen the last of the large fronts. I
hope anyway! I need some time with clear
skies so my yard will dry out! My Nascar races were rained out today and rescheduled
for tomorrow morning.

I had a few tasks to complete today so I was up and out early with
Rylee. I then headed off to Albany to Lowes and Home Depot and Harbor Freight.
I was looking for ramps for the new trailer. The ones that were included are
four foot long. They are heavy duty and store well under the trailer, but just
don’t make it easy for the tractor to load on. The blade assembly, even though
I can adjust it up as high as it will go, will high center when it gets to the
top of the ramp. A longer set of ramps will make the angle better. Harbor
Freight has them so I picked up a pair. I got them home and was going to
assemble the angle iron on the end but didn’t like the hex bolts as you have to
run over them. I thought carriage bolts would work better. I will head off tomorrow
to get those. Nascar races and taped
programs until bedtime.
Tuesday, March 30th., 2021…… I took off
again this morning and went to Walmart for a few things. After that, I drove
back to meet up with Kirk. I was going to have him clean the gutters on the
house but couldn’t remember that so I had him and Justin clean up my compost
pile in the woods behind my property. It actually is part of the property but
is on the other side of my little creek. Over the years, I have had the guys
dump all of the clippings and weeds out there where it would just blend in but
they mostly piled it up just over the creek, so I asked them to go back
and spread it out, Kirk says I have a ton of usable compost so my sister will
want to come get some for work she is planning for her flower beds in the near
future. I came back in and rested for a while. I had decided to go ahead and
hit Wilco to get those bolts for the trailer ramps and came back and drilled
out so they would fit. They are done and should work well. You can see the difference from the short one.
I just need to figure out a way to
lock them on the trailer bed. I thought about it and will get some coupler
locks like Randy bought for the trailer hitch on the trip up here. They should do
the job. I came in and rested for the day. Later, I made spinach and lobster
ravioli for dinner. It looked good and tasted great!
Tv until bedtime.
