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.

This one is pony size. One of our ponies is safe as you can get and loves to work. This is also a nice size since she didn't want a front yard so it is a small orchard with different herbs around the trees.
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
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

Happy Father's Day, nerds. My son got me this. More specifically, he got it running properly with me, if a little lean ATM.
Judging by the 4-lug wheels that's an 83 or 84? I had an 83 with those **** metric rims. Cost a fortune to buy tires for it.
79-93 (except Cobra R) all used 4 lug. A disc conversion should be in the cards.
@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. @ShawnOL 1985, buddy. Last of the carbureted.

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.
A rickshaw mower? Who pulls?

them handles out front are on hinges, you sit in the seat and pull it yourself
Depends on who gets in the seat first. Great way to keep our son outside and the pony in shape
Horse or goat?

This is what happens when you forget to take the plastic off before baking.

Oh. I thought it might be the other way around
Guess I may not be real smart, but man am I in better shape than I realized

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.

Nice goats, Steve. @Stubble
Cool mower, @edz. Never seen one like it.

I love to watch the bats flying around my yard in the twilight, imagining them feasting on hundreds or thousands of mosquitoes every night.
How’s she feeling today 😂
