Daughter felt like we needed better rear seat belts for the 4Runner so I ordered some retracting 3pts and she installed them

I now I'm devising a way to do 4pts with a temporary crossbar
 
Bought a brush cutter for my excavator last week, and fabbed up the adapter so I could actually mount it and it would interchange with my other buckets.

You planning any type of guarding on the rops to help keep you safe from flying debris?

We will see if it’s needed. This unit should primarily discharge away from the machine, and I can control the angle of cut. I think the boom will block most any stray stuff, but if it seems to be a problem, I’ll buy a piece of poly off eBay as supplemental protection. Also, I upgraded my ROPS :D

Trip to SC to finish the irrigation system wiring for my grandmama. Could be improved a bit, but its way better than before! Previously had the same wire color for each solenoid/zone and the different components were spread out across the dock. Put everything in a single enclosure, twisted pair for the 24VAC controls, swapped wire nuts for solder/heat shrink & tidied up the wiring to the solenoids. Tested everything to find out the trash pump has a big crack in it...:shaking:.

I only went for the night, was kind of a stupid idea. But wife couldn’t get out of work. It seemed the same as years past. My dad said that Friday night the cops were tearing everyone up. But last night they weren’t out too bad. Every single car there was still for sale even though they claimed they couldn’t. Left out late today and was still tons of cars everywhere.
 
Well I need another project like I need another hole in my head. But these were grandpa's and were just wasting away, and the price was too low to pass up. The deutz needs a transmission but ran when he parked it. No idea on the Super A, I don't see any glaring mechanical problems and the oil and antifreeze are both where they should be.

Helping the a neighbor with his RV generator issue.

Poor fella has replaced all sorts of stuff and had it at a shop specifically for the issue of his generator not running for extended periods.

Pumps, cleaning of fuel system and several other ideas he went through resulted in asking if me and my son could drop the tank to check the pickup.

Surprised it could draw enough fuel to run at all and not cover the floor in gas. I saw the kink as we was dropping the tank. I think the work made it more obvious. Not a single component under the unit has corrosion but this cheapest possible hard line ran between rubber connections made at each end.
