Man feel super sleepy suddenly. Gunna try some meditation at wakingup.com been paying for a subscription for 3 years now and looks like I've only done 57 minutes of lessons total

[Smucky]

Now awake

[Smucky]

Hmm, 1pm. Time for breakfast I guess. I think I'll have a can of bread

[NinjaPoodle]

No wonder you are so obsessed with your toilet sessions. US super processed food makes the digestion run like ass, literally.

[Smucky]

It's got less ingredients than most bread though.

"Containes a bioengineered food ingredient"

Every time US tourists come to Europe they feel like million bucks because of the less processed food and more restrictive laws.

I assume the ingredient is the corn oil which is probably from "roundup ready" corn

[Smucky]

Time for bed Tomorrow I will eat another can of bread and more adderall

[Smucky]

Now awake.

[Smucky]

And now to bed

[Smucky]

Alright, back in the saddle, time to get to work for the day. Even though it is evening

[Smucky]

Well that went poorly

[Smucky]

Volunteered to cut this lady's field so her kids can go dove hunting on it. I should have looked at it first before telling her I'd do it for $200

[Smucky]

Also, with the new tractor, the PTO shaft on the mower is now too short so I have to get another one which turned into a goose chase. Had a shop order one which should be here Tuesday.

Does any of your cars have a non faded paint job? What's up with Texas, is there something in the air that destroys paint?

I guess the other part of that is all my cars are 25+ years old

Well, that's more than the usual 3 year leasing period, which all cars are designed to withstand and break down shortly after.

[Smucky]

Going to go fill up some gas cans with diesel. For the tractor. Don't text and drive.

[Smucky]

I should probably change the oil in this truck

[Smucky]

Trying to get the roof back on. Way too heavy for one person

Didn't you use a winch in the roof?

Sorta, that was just a bunch of rope and no pulleys. The "roof" is just bolted to the roll over protection bars. I thought I could separate the two and then both would be light enough to handle. But no, the roll bars probably just weight 45lbs. And then the roof is like 80+. My plan now is to just get rope and pulleys. Leave the roll bars on. and remove only the roof parts as needed, it is just a couple of bolts. The roll bars aren't really easy to completely get off anyway as you got to beat some pins out with a hammer.
But the next issue was getting cheap rope and pulleys. All the rope at the store seemed to only have a working limit of ~150lbs unless it was 1/2" or larger rope which were mostly over 500lbs. But all the pulleys for sale had a max rope size of 3/8" and were $20+ each. So ended up digging on ebay and amazon all afternoon. Strangely it kept trying to recommend "Arborist Rope" which for what ever reason even at 3/8" it was showing a weight limit of 2000+lbs. Got tired of trying to figure out why and just added it to the cart. Pulleys for 3/8" rope are cheaper anyway. Finding some that had actual ball bearings was difficult though. But I think I got everything for near $50 though. In hindsight, I see "Arborist Rope" is rated by breaking strength and not working strength. But I think the set up will be safe enough.

Then the next step, find the center of gravity on the roof, and then run a couple of bolt eyelet things through it.
