What's everyone up to right now?

Just mowed the east 40 with a new mower. Heavenly compared to that old clunky bastard.

You should have been happy with the old clunker and liked it!

You've now been cursed with my knee and back.

Damn whipper snappers!

We (as in I mean I paid the rental, and my son ran the rototiller) plowed up the back yard in preparation for planting it with some kind of plant. It hasn't been done in the 20 years we have lived here, because my wife leaves stuff laying all over the place, killing whatever may have grown, underneath it. We're (as in my son), planting some kind of ground cover that doesn't need mowing. We'll be selling the mower, as the front is planted with drought-tolerant plants. And rocks. Lots of rocks.

I got my new graphics card this morning. My Amazon order was still up in the air, with no idea whether or when they'd ship. So this morning I'm checking price and availability of alternatives, and note that Micro Center had 11 of the same card for the same price for in-store pickup. I hopped the next bus out to St. Louis Park and picked it up and made it home with time to spare before I had to leave for Maplewood to donate plasma. I'm a bit OCD, so half the time that I was away, I'm worrying that I'll come home and find it has been stolen. The sooner that I get it installed the better.

"Some kind of plant".

Just don't tell the cops...

I can give you my personal assurance that those plants are no kind of a pharmacological variety, beyond being some sort of pleasing blue-green.

Just found the oil leak on my John Deere Gator.

Two options - 

Pull the engine, split the crankcase and put in a new gasket (that's where it leaks) or

Put on a set of Harley Davidson tank badges and claim it's "just marking it' s spot".

Received an email from Playstation. I have been selected to purchase a PS5.

Don't you have one of those wonder "mechanic's pencils" that stop leaks? I once worked on a John Deere tractor that had the PTO crap out. Split it at the clutch and replaced the 30¢ cotter pin; 8 hours labor. The farmer was understandably pissed. We told him to take it up with JD. But the boss did end up giving him a break.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
