Took the truck up to the barn to hook up the trailer and head over to my other house with the mower. Truck won't turn off. Apparently the push-button is stuck on "ON".
Back to the house, pulled the fuse to cut it off, everything else is still on. Had to pull the battery ground. Waited about 30 minutes, replaced battery ground, switch is stuck on.
According to Google search O'Reilly and Advance Auto both carry the switch. Phone calls made, response: "Hunh? Um, yeah man, I think you have to get those from the dealer, you know?"
Ebay and Amazon switches ~ $85 - $200. Mopar switch $42., but no expedited shipping.
There's a bright side. I had really been considering the trek to Milwaukee, 'cause I wish I could be there, but had I done so I'd probably be stranded in East St. Louis dodging tweakers and other entrepreneurs.
Life goes on. For now.

New lawn mower, waited a long time for this one. Many have the blades beind it, this one they are under the seat. Lot safer.

My neighbor down the road 1/4 mile gave me access to a pile of logs that Helene uprooted and laid across his road. Mostly Oak, with some maple. Most 24-30 inches by 12ft..I got my peavy out and broke down the pile so I could safely work. I cut and had to hand split so I could load two pickup loads. Unloaded behind my studio so I could finish splitting and stacking. I figure to get four more loads. I'm 78 and that dam wood is getting heavier.

Sorry for so many pictures. Since yesterday late afternoon we canned a half a bushel of peaches, 50 lbs of cherries (pie filling, pitted, syrup and concentrated drink), 2 loafs of bread, and bunch of lard. Pictures of the lard are hot, it will be pure white when it cools. All off a pig fed 100% raw cows milk

Bread machine = demerit points. ;-)Absolutely correct Big time minus points. Plus points at 90 degrees to hot to fire up our coal/wood stove. And the fact that t was made from milk left over from making butter and made from from a combination of speltz flour and and another gran should add a bonus point. With a wood/coal ktchen stove we have two seasons, pizza and summer

Pulled a back muscle this morning doing back pulls this morning. Should have gone lighter.
I don't have problems, just more work to do.

@Vision She originally came with the 10 hole phone dials. Lost to the timeline. 17x8 phone dial replicas are made and will be purchased one day. For now, Ro bought a set of 17x8 ponies, powder coat black with a machined lip. You are correct, a 4 corner 5 lug disc conversion is imminent.

I love to watch the bats flying around my yard in the twilight, imagining them feasting on hundreds or thousands of mosquitoes every night.

A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.
