My mom and me, many decades ago!

I was using the tractor yesterday moving compost from the chicken yard to the garden. When I was about done the engine started making a noise like something was hitting the fan blade so I shut the tractor off to check things. Nothing hitting the fan blade that I could see then I noticed that there were bolts missing on what holds the loader on to the tractor on the right side. On the left side there were 10 bolts that holds the heavy bracket on. On the right side I only see where 7 bolts had been with a place for at least two more bolts. On the left there are 6 medium size and 4 large bolts on the bracket, I took one of the medium bolts out to see what it is like and to try and get some. As far as I could tell, on the left, there was 4 medium and 3 large bolts, if there were more than the 3 large bolts I can’t see the place it would be because of some hoses in the way. I did find 2 of the large bolts on a little ledge they had landed on. One of those, the threads was buggered up and had some of the threads from the engine on it. In moving the bracket around it looks like the medium bolts sheared off as there is no depth to the hole they would screw into. When I checked the engine oil it was out and oil was on everything under the tractor. I’m going to have to take the loader off of the tractor without using the tractor so I can take the bracket off and check the pipes that are around it. Fun, fun.

NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash. (Aug. 1, 2023) -- A P-8A Poseidon assigned to Patrol Squadron (VP) 46, the ‘Grey Knights,’ taxis into the combat aircraft loading area at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Washington, Aug. 1, 2023.

This is the load cell blank with three features machined on it: a tapped hole and two bored holes.

The bored holes were done on my Sieg C4 lathe, using a tool bit that I ground myself. They are M16, bored out from an M10 starter hole, which was drilled.

Tolerances are +/- 0.05 mm.

I remembered a photo I took in December 2014 of my full grocery cart so I took the prompt that way. Some weeks the chore of planning and shopping for our meals is easy, some weeks it takes a Ph.D. in quantum physics!! Too many variables!!

We loaded up what we could. We had plenty of room as we began and were able to salvage much more than others.

So when I saw the prompt I immediately thought of these photo strips that have been hanging on our fridge for months and months waiting for "that perfect project" and here it was right in my in box thanks to Lain! I had fun putting it together and since today is our wedding anniversary I thought that's what the theme would be. Used Tim Holtz paper and ink and Girl's Paperie embellishments. I thought about going the Disney route but wasn't feeling it - hopefully it doesn't all clash too much!
