Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good Morning Everyone. Mid 90's today and tomorrow. Yuck. Found part of the shake issue on the Rat Rod is a slight bend in the rim. Swapping tires to different rims tomorrow. Always something. Father's Day car show in town, was seeing if Dad was interested in driving over and going together. Not sure what the end plan will be; maybe me and my boy will drive over by him. Either way, it should be good.

Lowes, Tractor Supply?? Where do I find it??
And if it doesn't come in a spray on, it won't happen this time. I don't have time today.

Look online if your HD has it. Here they do in spray cans or Grainger.

 

[halifaxhops]

Napa has it also.

Wonder if this would work under the brush cutter deck too

If it is perfectly clean it will, dirty I use a ight spray of fluid film.

Anything like motion lotion?

Smells like popcorn!

How often do you re-apply it??

 

[halifaxhops]

Depend on how much you mow really. I do the tractor every two years needed or not.

Time to do a vinegar boil out on Mr Coffee. Man is he getting slow. Like me. Maybe I need a vinegar boil out! (que @memike)

Need to use a real coffee pot. Just pour off carefully and no filter needed.

Cowboy coffee, best there is!
We had coffee done on a coleman stove with an old perculator a couple weeks ago. It was good. These t-cup and K-cup machines are convenient, but lack the real taste.

I really like a french press or pour over coffee. I have both, just takes more time. Never been a fan of k-cup type coffee as it tastes like cheap gas station coffee.

It's funny I never liked gas station coffee, but sometimes diner coffee is just right. Maybe its just nostalgia as that was around forever until when, maybe 20 years ago? the availablitiy of varieties and methods really took off.

First day of demo yesterday. We’re removing all the tile, hardwood floor, and carpet on the main floor. Also loaded 700 bricks for the neighbor to haul off. Here is a pic looking from the foyer into the living room.

That's a lot of wood.
Hopefully some gets repurposed.

Good Morning

Not this stuff. It was old, stained, and looked like crap.

Usually can be sanded and refinished...

 

[toolmanmike]

I love old hard wood flooring

Yesterday’s highlight though was the arrival of the new John Deere

Looks like a dandy. I need to try a zero turn sometime. All the commercial guys use them and they are fast and stripe nicely.

I ran some laundry through to check out the dryer after cleaning some lint out of the tubes. Drys better, but flow sensor still only at like half. Looked at parts diagram. Need to take near the whole machine apart to get to the blower. Not difficult, except I can barely move to get at it in the little laundry area. Still not sure where the sensor is -need to find that and make sure it's reading right. If I can't do that without tearing apart, might just order a blower wheel in case it's bad. Found on amazon - probably like $20 with shipping. Not worth tearing down twice or waiting for parts with it torn apart.

I have some dirt to wheel today. The neighbor got 10 yards of black dirt and there's some left over. I wheeled 10 wheelbarrow's full yesterday on the grass and uphill to fill some divots from last summer's roofing project. THat was a lot of work for a old fart on his 66th birthday. LOL

I could make a few truckloads of dirt disappear in my yard. LOL
