TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
I didn't know it could get that hot up there Tim. Must be because not enough people are driving Teslas. Global warming and whatnot.

Morning Chris.
It’s not common to be this hot. 90° weather does happen up here, but not often.
Please don’t mention global warming. We are taxed enough haha

OK.....you know I can read ! For the record, I was at Sammy's shopping for stuff for the weekend party, otherwise, i would be at the lake ......FISHING! As far as cutting the *&&^%^^&* grass, I have been amusing myself at the lake since I figured out how to use the tractor. My son refused to show me. It's a Sears Crapsman with some weird lever that acts like a throttle/clutch and something else...even son #1 says it's weird. First time that i used it, I almost put it in the lake.. Never would live it down if I had to call him to come up with a tow truck to get it out !

hey, Tim....there's about 1 1/2' drop from shorewall to the water. I thing the cutting assembly would have kept it from going all the way in, might have been able to winch it out with the ATV so I wouldn't have to call my son.

After that getting the truck ready for our trip tomorrow. This will be the first time I load a heavy bike on a truck. I think I'm well prepared with a 9' x 4' ramp that supports 1500 lbs, an adjustable workhorse to support the tailgate, another one to support the middle of the ramp, straps to hold the ramp to the truck, a 2x12x8 for the bike to rest on, taking weight off the tailgate once loaded, wheel chock on ramp..........phew! I'm tired just thinking about it.
Bob if you can find an incline - back up to it and reduce the approach angle it makes it easier - you probably knew that though...
Yes TIm I was looking forward to some cooler weather driving up north. At least it will only be in the 90's.
