Finally.

Ended up wasting my vacation replacing  all fuel and brake lines on my plow truck. Took 18 hours of wrench time. Was ok because it rained most the week any way.  Was just going to pull the bed , but several bolts spun. Did not matter as both straps holding the tank up were rotted completely off and tank was held up by the skid plate.  I bough pre bent fuel lines but ended up having to cut them because of fitting issues. Brake lines I just made. Had one leak and had to drop the tank again, a double clamp fixed it.   On my back for all LL that time made me sore as hell today. There was SOOOOOOO much rust in my eyes and on the floor when I was finished. The truck is super rusty and I had to cut bolts after I pulled all the lines and tank. Worse job mechanically I have ever done.

Absolutely pouring for the last 3 hours and still going. Hoping my corn seeds do not rot in the ground............

I don't know in terms of record weather conditions but I don't ever recall having my wood heat going in the house in June before like I have the last 3 days .
This weather sucks IMO . Striper season was a bust and I haven't been fishing since

Just came in .that sunshine sure made my Soulshine.
Plants, pool and grandchildren were popping.
Not wishing a heat wave but will take anything other then rain at this point

My corn is starting to pop up.......
 

Been pounding the trout here in Ct for weeks-high waters have been mostly clear - they are hitting well.
Still using small hooks 4 lb test and small garden worms in thick overgrown little places with a little ultra light spin rig.
Occasionally that old bamboo fly rod too, when in more open areas.

Sorry for your loss, Jack.

Thanks Charlie and BTDT.Although the Vet told me what we were going to do was best for Mollie as there was no joy,only misery for her,it was really hard but it was peaceful with no pain.But I really miss her as there is no one left here at home,only memories.

There will always come time for friends to leave. Some moving on with happy memories and some not so much but, never forget, there shall forever be a new friendship waiting to be made.

Pafisher, in due time a new friendship shall be born and you can bet, it will be "the one with the waggily tail". 👍



I hear it's very easy to become addicted to Alaskan Malamute puppies.

Sounds like you are going to be busy and that is a good thing.

Do stay in touch. 🍻

We can't get more than 20 hours without some sort of rain, still have not cut any hay..............

Still rains at least every other day. Farmers cannot get on their fields. On a side note it seems the lake fishing is doing well this year

We are lucky we have enough for next year as we keep a rotating stock. Our biggest issue is that even if it dried out our equipment is just not big enough to cut it as it is too thick.  That leads us on how to get it out of the field to make the field able to be cut next year.  We may have to see if the guy up the road can do it with his bigger haybine. Time ill tell

Finally got our big lot of hay in.  I am liking the cooler weather. FWIW I went to Pulaski today and the local kids were supposedly chasing  a few strays around, I guess silly season is starting.........
