Ran The Toys Today

Since today's temperature was in the lower 60s today, I took the opportunity to fire up the mower, mini bike and Jeep.

The Jeep is still running with no pep, but it was enough to tamp down some ruts in Barking Spider Acre that were left a month ago by the motorhome. The ground was soggy at the time from all the snows and the motorhome almost got stuck in the mud. Thankfully it didn't but it left some ruts in the ground.

The Jeep came in handy to tamp the ruts down and it also provided the opportunity to run it a while to give the battery a good charge.

The mower started with no problem as I did run it a few weeks ago (after jump-starting it). 

I had to put air in the back tire of the mini bike. It has a slow leak. A few months ago, I bought an air compressor that runs on house current. It filled the tire quickly. After doing so, I gave it a good workout. I did run out of gas in it, but I had some in the garage and filled the tank and it fired right up.

We're supposed to be getting some warmer weather (in the 70s) this coming week, which will be nice for a change.
