Baby gets new shoes today!
I thank Cary & forum members for sensitizing me to potential tire failures due to age. Date code revealed that the tires on our 2012 560 are originals, manufactured Oct. 2011. (2nd owners) We did OK, but 15 yrs is stretching it too far.
And the weather! Climate?
Although we in Portland had a normal winter, with none of the extreme highs and lows of other regions, there’s trouble ahead. Southern Oregon has 8% of our thirty year average snowpack, northern 45%. Bad news for ag, ranching, and water systems, and very bad, even dire, news for the coming wildfire season.
Spring has sprung, temps in the high 70s this week and it’s time to mow, again…
