Evening, gents.

 

The lawn guy did a good job. The vegetable plants grew like weeds, as did weeds in the garden.

 

So can a chainsaw ! I had 5 12' arborvitaes along side the porch. Worked well for some privacy and a wind block but were blocking the view of the upper part of the lake. I trimmed them on Monday.....3 at ground level... I figure that with a full view of the lake that I increased the value by at least $10K.....

 

Getting closer.

 

What’s more amazing is what quick work a 50 hp Kabota with a 4’ brush hog makes of it .

 

Sorry to hear of your shoulder problem, Chuck. I would assume you'll plan your procedure for a time when you don't plan on riding much. That takes a long time to heal and regain strength. My son had 3 procedures.

 

What happened there, Lou? I thought those Cummins engines were indestructible.

 

Chuck, that would be fun!!! I probably wouldn't hate yardwork as much.

 

Aw I got confused , I like to clean em first

Sadly we only found out after the fact. I did not diagnose this. What it was was a really bad turbo leak pushing oil into the exhaust and compressed air into the crankcase. The symptoms look like massive blow by but it was mainly a bad turbo. The truck has been sitting for 5 years. The owner finally got a long block. It's his wife's truck and she absolutely loves it. When I pulled the oil pan it was pristine.
