seasons change

on the subject of
sustainability:
it's been all about wheels lately
...the tractor was leaking calcium from the
right rear
the tractor's rim needed
chipping and hours of grinding,
sand blasting and
welded in patches and
an epoxy layer to seal the inside of the rim

what could be more enjoyable?
pressure washing and wire-brushing
and painting
and it's been
below freezing out
the tractor tire was reassembled today.
the calcium/ loading was pumped from the other tire
and then there were three set of rims
to be cleaned, painted and oiled
and then
the truck's brakes needed attention
and then
cleaning the under-carriage of the truck
for "rustproofing"
but there was a sunny day in these days of
changing seasons
