Capricorn Moon Camping and more of the Fawn Triplets

Image
I took this pic while camping the past week. It was taken at sunrise, but also there is a full-moon in the west. It was a capricorn moon. https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/astrology/full-moon-in-capricorn-july-2025 A few more pics of the deer triplets. I managed to get all three in a couple pics. All three seem to be healthy. I think they are about 10 weeks old. They are eating grass nicely.

It looks like I have to drive to Michigan. I did my homework. I have to go pick up my new lawn mower. It is a 2004 ExMark Commercial Lazer Z--60 inch deck with a 27 HP Kohler. It is rated at 4 acres per hour. It will do my front yard in 15 minutes! These things cost $10,000 new. I paid significantly less. What did we do before eBay.

We got the pony motor to fire. That is enough to keep us going. I expect one more work session and we will have the diesel going after 30 yrs of slumber. Starting an old D6 like this has a real complex procedure. The basic steps are 1.)Get mony motor Running, choke, throttle, fuel shut off, out of gear. After the pony motor has warmed up for a minute or so continue. 2.)Open compression relief valve. 3.)Engage pony motor (may have two speed transmission, if so use high) 4.)After oil pressure rises turn on diesel fuel value, smoke appears. 5.)Close compression relief valve 6.) Cover ears!
