WE GOT RAIN !!! About 1.25" this afternoon. Only 81F, but very humid and not much breeze. The ground soaked it up.
Thank the Lord.
Now the mosquitoes will come in a couple of weeks.
Got the son out to put the dirt in the hole we dug to fix the dripping water line a few weeks back. I wanted to make sure it held before I covered it back up.
Why so much trimming? Something you can't mow?
Got the '79 Yamaha GT 80 running, it has been sitting too long. Tried to push start it first, then a few shots of starter fluid. It would run for a bit then die. Cleaned the carb. Used gas to clean the foam filter, put a new sparking plug in, put it back together and it started in 3 kicks. Runs good. Might could jet it down a bit leaner. My son doesn't want to part with it, but he's too big for it.
Added about a 1/2 can of R134 freon to my commuter car. Since Buppies says the heat is coming back...
Sorry about you guys tractor oops. Glad divorce was staved off by a hair.
Remember me whining about the flavor of hamburger meat? I bought 10 lbs from a buddy at work that comes from a custom processor. $5/lb. Tastes great. It is very lean, he says it is 90/10 ground chuck.
My wife is cutting onions, smashing garlic and using the above hamburger meat to make a big pot of chili. I think she's using 4 lbs. of it. Lots of thin cut white onions. She says it is so lean, that she adds a bit of olive oil to precook it. (it was frozen).
researching transmission removal from Traverse. It shows that it can be done, but the engine has to be held up while the subframe is dropped. I just don't know if I have the strength to do work like this anymore. Rebuilt trannys are $2000-$4000. More than we want to shell out. Have to ask MIL what she wants to do. 6T70 transmissions don't look too hard to rebuild. We need a new converter for sure.

Prayers Buppies and wife.
