Well despite my bad knee I found out I can run given the proper incentive. Figured I would knock out some yard work before heading out. I was emptying a tub off weeds into my yard trailer. Cheryl had pulled them a while back and apparently some bees took up residence. Got a sting, dropped the tub in the trailer, and ran into the house! Knee didn't even factor, although it's yelling at me now. It must have been a pretty good size nest because there is quite the swarm hanging around the trailer. So for now the bees own my Cub Cadet. I'll wait until early tomorrow morning when it's 50+ degrees and haul their asses to the burn pile.

Hmmmm, I don’t think we suggested bees as a method to solve Mick’s dawdling problem this morning.

Not a suggestion, but 'dawdling' always reminds me of Gus's reaction

Morning peeps! Finalish check in before heading out.

I think my compensator may be going out lol. Loud clunk when starting the engine yesterday. I waited and hit it again and it was perfect. No noise while running and it seems to do it intermittently. If that's the case, I'll upgrade it to the Baker system. I really don't want to tear into the primary right now though. So maybe It just tried to start it at a stupid time?

Marcus, it's great to see you around sir! I hope all is well with you and you're recovering. I can imagine it's a slow process.

Bob, soapy water in a sprayer will take care of those pesky bees. Good thing you're alergic.

That's only Phase I....Phase II and III is crossing your arms and tilting your head....

I'm sure the response will explain Phase IV.....

Went and mowed Dads yard this morning. His "yard" is around 2 acres. Thought I would hit it before the heat. Cool Hand is visiting his Aunt out of town, kinda bummed there, he's been gone all week. Too early to drink, think I will take a nap...

Chris, you have to stop Googling yourself into the shop. Just ride it. The comp will let you know when it is time to change it.

Good way to put it Russ. I've destroyed 6 compensators. They will let you know when it's time. This Baker one has been the best so far and it's only the first gen Baker.
