  • Morning rain. I drove Adam and Shondra to downtown Maysville and we had breakfast in Tim and Juli's Cafe. When we returned, the rain had stopped.

  • Continued on Power Cube documentation, needed some measurements so went to the workshop and met Adam, saying that the attachment for the tractor box blade had broken and needed welding. He made a suggestion for an improvement to prevent the box blade from slipping off the quick attach mounts. I found some metal and torched it to shape and Brianna arrived and welded it to the box blade. Success!
