Coffee anyone ?

Trying to find lug nuts for 2005 Kawasaki mule. Provided vin number, then questioned; does it have factory black wheels? Ummm, nope. I need a picture of the wheel.
Me-wouldn’t the studs still be the same?
Guy-no.

I went to Harbor Freight and got deep socket thingys that are in pretty colors, 1/2” drive. I know a 9/16 is too small. I got metric and standard. I have soaked lug nuts on another wheel with PB Blaster. I guess I’ll have to take one with me.

They never make anything easy.

Coffee is ready. Lug nut quest, couldn’t break one loose. Friend came over, he couldn’t break it, got another friend with impact wrench, I’m gonna call him. It’s pouring rain, supposed to meet daughter in Kingwood at 10:00, it’s a 2 hour drive. I hope the road isn’t flooded so I can leave at 8:00. I need a new phone.

Brr, 40° this morning. Getting the trellises set up just moved up in the priority list. Also need to get another set of blocks. Oh, and set up the feral cat houses. Every winter I put a couple on the front porch, fill with clean straw. They're made from large styrofoam shipping containers being discarded at work.

Time to get moving, but first...coffee.

I slept until 8 -- wasn't in bed until midnight tho. It was a wonderful sleep & I pop out of a warm bed to 60* inside not nice. Light frost outside. Dang this is some early cold for here. Hope it's not a sign of worse this year. Oh well -- I'm up and awake with my coffee. Breakfast working. Then chores.

Watched the fog roll in this morning. Thick fog bank surrounding the house - it usually stops at the house. 57-78 today - forecast for the week highs 89 around Wednesday predicted (hopefully it'll change for the better). Going to get more lettuce seeds planted and some beans and peas. And - rip out the rest of the tomato plants.

I was just reading the USDA reports on imports. Retail coffee in packages has gone up about 21% so far this year. OUCH.

disclaimer on all the dot gov sites: this report has not been updated since the govt shutdown began.

Hurry up and wait type of day.
Sitting around in a hotel room trying to kill time until we leave at 11:15.
Pondering what I am doing for halloween, I got a big bag of candy, but had a request to pass out cookies instead, and honestly that would be cheaper...

Hopefully the impact wrench will get it done.
Stay safe!

Helping my friend get things ready for her wedding today. This is my friend that almost died a few months ago due to Type 1 diabetes complications. So happy she's still here.

Read a report this morning that said Mnt Baker here in WA state could get 4-7 feet of snow this weekend. Western Wa could get a deluge of rain. I'm glad I live on the Eastern side of the state and not the wet side. Chance of rain here, but not as much as the coast.

Winter is coming... time for tea...lol

Have a beautiful day all!

Since you all are farmers and ranchers and probably look forward to a winter break, I might get run out on a rail for this, but here it is anyway!
