Good morning. Another hot and sunny one here, with humidity rising. Possible rain beginning over the weekend. We'll get the first of our hay delivered late today. My niece is bringing the tractor over now to rearrange the bales we had leftover from last winter, to make space for the new ones. I'll have to take her home in a bit and later I may need to help keep the cows out of the hay lot when the delivery and unloading is happening. She stores her hay here too because I have a more secure lot in which to keep them, and we usually start out from my place anyway so it's more convenient.
I have a number of projects for things that must get done on the ranch so I'm going to be preoccupied and busier than usual for a while. My truck probably won't be ready to pick up until the first of next week. They are fixing the a/c--multiple wires, etc. chewed by rodents. (A costly fix with no good solutions for prevention). The transmission problem is a puzzlement. They can't find anything at all wrong with it. This is the 3rd mechanic shop to check it out and basically say the same thing. This time I took it to the Ford Dealership! So why does it sound/feel like it's in overdrive or trying to pull a heavy load at highway speed, and why does it use 3 quarts of transmission fluid with some frequency? It seems there's nothing left to do but drive it and keep a close check on the fluid level.
Poirot, I'd like to think you got some rest last night but that would probably be too optimistic. Wishing you the best day possible. Wishing that for all of you out there.
