2024-08-20 (Tuesday) — Cylinder in, Seals… MIA

Just after midnight. Nothing really to say.

Finished putting the cylinder back together on the skid steer. Only tested it for maybe 60 seconds. Wasn’t immediately leaking.

Accidentally overfilled the hydraulics, so going to have to drain some out I guess.

Cut up the top of the tree that fell on Rover’s parking space.

Created a trail through the woods from where I normally parked my van until the tree fell over down to the spring that’s closest to my little swimming/bathing area.

Much easier to get down to the creek now.

Saves time and energy… and gas, as I often would drive down there so I didn’t have to walk back in the heat.

Tangled with a whole crap ton of poison ivy–on purpose–to clear it out. Hopefully, my multiple bathing episodes caught everything in time so that I don’t end up with poison ivy rash all over me. ๐Ÿ˜…

Tried to mow around all the greenhouse stuff in the upper field in preparation for loading it up on the trailer and bringing it down here where I am.

But the tire that I’ve been airing up at the beginning of each mowing session only stayed aired up for maybe 20 minutes.

It’s… done.

…Like me. ๐Ÿ˜…

So I need to get another tire. I also realized when I was fixing the skid steer that there were no pin seals on the cylinder rod.

Lovely.

Not doing well today.

Got pretty angry at one point. Think it was that I couldn’t find anything. Don’t think I swore at all.

Miracle.

But I managed to be pretty darn verbally abusive to myself nonetheless. ๐Ÿ˜•

I don’t know when I started doing that, hasn’t been that long, but… I’m really bad. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Not much to say.

Seen an armadillo come poking out of the woods the two out of the last three nights, I think.

Going to bed. G’night.
