It has been a long week.

My Mustang 50 Zero Turn Mower (17ARCACQ011) will not engage the PTO. When it failed, it was intermittent. It would run for a bit, and then it would cut out. Now, it will not engage at all.

I have done a lot of testing and cannot find the flaw.

  1. I pulled the PTO and wired it to the battery. I got a click. It is not the robust click I would expect, but I can hear it clearly.

  2. I pulled the switch and got continuity and resistance as it should be.

  3. I pulled the fuse and it is good.

  4. I cleared out all around the interlocks and none of them should be triggered. I am unable to remove the reverse safety interlocks because of where they are

I am curious about how others who suffer from anxiety manage their productivity.

I am modestly productive. I am a lot better at physical tasks than mental ones - the physical tasks I will work and work and work until I am exhausted. The mental ones - I find myself procrastinating to reduce the threat to self-esteem (among other motives).

I have tinkered with my version of Getting Things Done for years now - but his system doesn't work very well for someone with anxiety. The "having everything down on paper clears your mind" thing doesn't work for me at all. All I can think is about all the things I have to accomplish for which the time does not exist. Saying no sounds nice, but it

There are a lot of things going on that I need to keep track of. What the history is, what the goals are, what decisions have been made ... I have no actions, but there will be a point when I may or may not have to step in and know what is going on.

How do you accomplish this? Do you do status reports?

Friends - I keep hearing about a place in North Kansas City that can match any vinyl siding. I have some old stuff I am trying to patch. I have a code on it, but I am unable to find it on Google (a terrifying prospect).

Do you know who that company is?

I have a lot of notebooks and pages from OneNote 2010. I never upgraded to 2016 (didn't want to pay for it when 2010 worked fine for me). My computer has upgraded to Windows 10, and now Microsoft has made it clear they want to go to the OneNote app for Windows 10 that can sync across devices.

However, I have not been able to get my notebooks moved over. I tried the sensible instructions at the link below:

https://www.tenforums.com/microsoft-office-365/50065-import-onenote-2010-into-windows-10-onenote.html

However, it doesn't work. I open the notebooks and OneNote for W10 crashes. Or it says, basically: We're sorry, we cannot do that right now.

I'm just not having any luck. Has

My 4 year old daughter is horrible at sleeping. She fights it endlessly. For about a year now, we would put her to bed to a routine (first at 7pm and then at 730pm), and then she would sort of play a little until eventually she would fall asleep (anywhere between 730 and 1000pm).

Until the last few weeks, we had a childproof thing on her doorknob and it kept her in her room. However, she has solved that Rubik's cube and can now get out any time she wants to. This means, she wants to come out and talk to us about squirrels instead of sleeping. Or how she wants to go at 9pm and skip rocks at the lake 3 hours away. Or remember that time when we had cake? We should do that again, at 83

I got through a big hurdle this weekend, and my new project is losing some weight. I've watched this subreddit for years, and the vast majority of those who post are in the early 20s.

No offense to those folks, but weight loss is easy at that age. Easier, at any rate.

In my 40s, I have a lot of stress and work that involves sitting down and not a lot of spare time. I have put on a few pounds this last year as I prepared for this thing I had to finish this weekend. My metabolism is like that of a hibernating grizzly bear - partly due to some extreme weight loss I did about 15 years ago. But my metabolism has never been super high.

For those of you over 40:
