The grass got mowed and the screw I was concerned about got lost. There’s a cover for the pulleys on each side and each cover has two screws, I even tightened all the screws before starting. In the comments I saw loctite will help, I also thought about getting a nut on the other end. For the time being I removed the cover on the problematic side since I’m not going to continue losing screws and with only one I worry about the cover rubbing against the pulley. Luckily the belt is inside the pulley and doesn’t get touched, I would get crazy if I had another belt break so soon, but it looked like the pulley was rubbing the cover and metal on metal is never good. Some riding mowers are built without any covers so it’s not the end of the world, just part of the long term relationship with my mower. The work bench got moved to the poll barn without any trouble, I’m still astonished at how light that thing feels since it didn’t always feel that way. My muay thai heavy bag also got delivered yesterday and that gave me more difficulty to move. The queen and I were joking that it was a body bag since it’s 6 ft long and 150 lbs, getting it in the buggie felt like weekend at Bernie’s. After everything was moved I assembled a stand for my dumbbells, which are 90 lbs each. I used to have the 52 lbs dumbbells, this is why the old feels lighter, the weights I deal with regularly have gotten heavier and the distances I need to travel have gotten longer. Looking at the next couple weeks, things are going to get pretty hectic, people will be visiting almost every week. Once we’re passed all the visitors a new chapter begins, count down to the new born.
