21 August 2022

 And the 21st day of August arrives and so great that I'm here to greet it , or, it greet me. ;)  And looks like  we are getting into the afternoon thunderstorm patterns. And the grass just loves that causing me to get the weed eater, Craftsman walk behind and the ZTR Hustler out about every 5 days, And do Sis in Law's yard also. 

Two things got redone this month. The old BB Gun and the old Work Table. Built the table in about '84 or so from a discarded drilling rig mud pump water recirculation container. The BB gun probably about the same age or older. Did have the table all blue but the paint I  used,  house paint, let the old rust bleed though so a can of green enamel stopped that. 




And Rice harvest going full blast with most done now and some fields already showing growth of the 2nd crop.  Did pass several fields in the past month with much work of the harvest happening. 





These pictures are from Sunday a week ago on LA 14 West of Lake Arthur. 

Did run into a little problem with the Hustler Dash ZTR a few weeks ago. A clicking in the front wheels. So , pulled the wheels and wow, bearings on the outside of both front wheels bad. So, changed them. And quit getting in tight places putting a lot of stress on them in the future. ;-) 

The outside right front come apart when getting it out. Sigh!  


The Hustler Dast and the trailer that hauls it to Dee's for grass cutting about every 5 days lately. 


Loaded and ready to go do Dee's yard about 6 blocks away. 

And the old wooden derrick at the I 10 Gas / Oil / Gator park being rebuilt after it went down from the hurricanes 2 years ago. But, much more solid this time. Lot's more metal support. 




Of course , the new Jennings Elementary School opened up last week. Was gonna go see the inside but way too many people there for my liking so just drove by.
