Rain has slowed me, too. Some good stints of it but a lot of misty crap that's annoying! . At least my riding mower is working

Most usual issues...solenoid or gas line parts. I just replaced the solenoid on mine. $38. Solenoid is between key switch & the actual starter, think relay.

Light rain, on and off here. I'll take it.

Hope your dad is okay @canesisters

Hope your Dad's ok. Perhaps a lesson learned??
Old adage - fast is slow and slow is fast.

I hope you dad is okay. I don't know how old he is, but a fall is so scary when they get older.

I gotta love my battery riding mower.... no more solenoids, gas, oil, carburetors .....NOTHING.... it was the best thing I ever bought I think.....

So for everyone wanting to know, the lab she works in takes the same fiber used in bullet proof materials (not kevlar) and washes out the processing gunk. The gunk contains cytotoxic materials that reek havoc on biological life.
The fiber is then sold as the base material to make braided sutures, medical robot cords, hernia mesh, artificial heart valve attachment fabric, sternal sutures, retrieval cords, urinary mesh, the list goes on.
The popular size has 20,000 meters on a bobbin. At 1 meter a suture..... that's a LOT of sutures.
Debbie..... I have a training manual if they didn't change everything from what I designed!
Glad Dad is 'ok'.

@Iron Cauldron Gardens

so, can't the material be used before the "processing gunk" & save this step -- OR must this first process be done to "form" the fiber, that's being cleaned to be medically used ???

Yes it can in processes that wash after weaving/braiding. That was the bulk of the industry when I set this up but the more picky device makers are moving towards pre washed or fiber that does use the same gunk to be made... which it is a process now running in the big lab next to where she washes

Dad is doing good. Says he's a little sore, but went to church this morning & did his driveway walk today. I'll keep checking on him, of course, but I think it was mostly his pride that was hurt.

Spent the day at the state fair. We had a great time but it sure had changed over the years.

Got home JUST before the hay delivery. I always love to see that trailer full as the grass shows down.

I got a couple of videos of the growing BYM chicks while I was waiting for him to arrive.

Chicks are getting so big, as are those Bresse. What's next?
