The weekend is upon us all once again what is everyone's Plans?

I have lots of Housework to do and grocery shopping and do the brakes on my car and Rotate tires. Tomorrow is my Oldest sons 31 birthday so we will see what goes on then I guess..
Y'all have a great weekend
 
Had a delivery to make in San Diego yesterday so took that opportunity to head east from there. Headed to Dunes Edge and grabbed my 5er and was back in OC by 930pm.

Today, rearrange the shop yard, get the trailer put away and do some shop spring cleaning.

Have a great weekend y'all.
 
Went to my orchard and got 5lbs of oranges for free and made fresh squeezed OJ. Wife went to the coops and got 20 eggs for free and had “waffled eggs” and some pancakes and sausages Great way to start off the weekend!

Still chipping away at restoring the shine on my RV. 99.5% done removing all the decals. Started the cut/buff process and it's going better than expected with using only compound. Tested an area where I did some 1000/2000/3000 color sanding before buffing. Color sanding seems to help lessen the ghosting effect from where the decals were.
Slow & tedious, but with a bit physical limitations I just gotta chip away each day I feel up to it.
 
Productive Saturday...

We have a bunch of eucalyptus trees and decided to make a zig zag horse trail for my wife - brush hog on the tractor is such a fun tool. We prob have a mileish trail now that she can horse around on, pretty cool.

Made some new bimini supports for the boat so it doesnt flop around so much (hard tubing, various bimini parts / pieces, etc), improved the stereo wiring, and ordered a new prop (higher pitch as I was hitting the rev limited at full throttle). Love this time of year - transition from desert to river and getting everything prepped.

Scared the crap out of myself when I looked down and saw a baby rattle snake a few inches from my foot, in flip lops of course...screamed like a little bitch and my wife got to see it. Grabbed my snake killer noose thing and killed it...2nd one in the last few weeks.

Tried to finish my buggy project (fixing the issues form a failed micro stub bearing) - but had to stop as I learned that I need to mill the calipers.

The only thing I did was gift a 27 inch "Gaming" monitor
to my grandson. He dropped his and broke it.
I did convert some alcohol to urine.
Today is "White trash Monday" so the trash cans are out for collection.
Costco run later.

Cooked breakfast for a 100-ish people for a trail cleanup. Hit the trails after and almost immediately flopped:

Turning downhill, slipped into a notch and it went over quick. Whoops.

Got a new door from the boneyard. Gonna get a fender as well. IMG_6421.jpeg
Not as bad as I thought. Gonna take some massaging with the hammer/dolly and a winch, but should look good enough.

Have more on that tractor?
 
Sold $3,000 worth of Grow Equipment from my Storage unit, on Saturday. Getting closer! Hopefully I can get rid of the entire unit, soon (this year).

- 12 Flowering LED's
- 3 Veg LED's
- 12 Clone LED's
- All of my Fast Fit tray stands/racks
- Wall mount fans

I gave that shit (growing cannabis) 32 years of my life, time to give the rest of my time to my kid! Honestly, I'm just glad someone can use the really nice equipment. Go Asians! 🤣

Now, I get to start building a shed for the stuff I am keeping. I have the wood I need, saved from the Grow room so it's pretty much just going to be labor.

It's a 2005ish or so Mahindra - great little versatile machine.

Nice. Looking at a 1626 for my property. Biggest gripe I see about them is replacement parts can be expensive through the dealer, but most are available somewhere else for far cheaper.

Only major complaint is with (and almost all of these smaller tractors) - the 3 point hydraulics in the back are not powerful / you can't say lift the back of the tractor up...meaning, the weight of the attachment is the only push down force - versus say a Jon Deere 210 that has pressure at the 3 point. For most jobs it doesn't matter...Hope that makes sense. In example - I have a hard dirt road and can't really grade ii, I can move dirt around only.

Brush hog and this attachment I can do most things....we have a gannon box too, but after I got this blade for 200 bucks it's awesome. If you have a property where you need to make brow ditches to move water, it's key...I have hydraulics on the 3=point too, which is also key. I
