| The angry, red goose-egg is reducing nicely. This is after 24 hours of antibiotics. The location of this wound is one of the things that defeated me when I tried to wash it out "in the field". |
The inked outline is 60mm along the axis of my arm. This is as much as I could twist my arm to take the photo.

| I didn't want to post this picture. Vanity, don't you know. The row is crooked. |
Time is getting away from me. I am 12 days behind my target date for planting potatoes and that bothers me.
I threw a bunch of small trees into a double-row just to get the monkey off of my back. I was in a rush and didn't stretch a line for a reference. A row that staggers left-to-right like a dizzy drunk was the result.

Random fact: Saint Eligius is the patron saint of mechanics, something to remember when you are looking for your last 10mm socket.
Vanity oh vanity
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more calming than a meandering creek, or row of trees.
That wound must have been angry.
Take heart, ERJ!! The first row I planted on the old Ford 8N was very crooked. Dad said, "Never worry about crooked rows. You put more seed in the ground than a straight row. Always focus on a distant object when plowing to keep straight... make sure it isn't a cow."
ReplyDeleteI’m late planting this year too. Just have very little energy, and a nagging knee that limits my mobility. I do have friends who have planted very late some years, but still get production from their garden, so don’t give up!
ReplyDeleteI put in potatoes and peas 2 weeks ago. Should’ve been in around 4/15. We got 8” rain since then. Lo and behold, I went out Saturday, and both were sending up shoots. I expected they would all be drowned or rotted.

If the engine is rolling high and low it's probably running too lean. You may need to clean the jet in the carburetor. If it's running good now, run some fuel treatment in the gas. You might get... and stay... lucky. And yes, change or at least re-gap the spark plug...
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I'm hopelessly behind on my planting as well...
Good news! And you'll get caught up...eventually...
ReplyDeleteYou should get Mrs. ERJ to help with the picture - she could probably get that arm twisted around far enough so you can take the picture you really want.
ReplyDeleteIf the governor shaft goes into the engine block, you probably have a flyweight type mechanism geared to crank or cam.
Thank You Lord for taking care of Joe's arm. Keep him with us. ---ken
