First, thanks for all the well wishes for Finnly's Birthday and prayers too.
Eric, you have a way with the Queen's english. How poetic a description of the morning's condensation. I had to read it thrice, maybe four times.
You too? If you lived closer, I'd have put some coffee on to commiserate together about no sleep.
CWB, still too cold up there for me....I enjoyed working on the tractor and making a few laps with the shredder in the 75F air with a good breeze.
Speaking of tractor, I got the 5420 going again. The confounded flat seems to be holding, and I got the fuel system bled. Not too bad, I used a trick. Since I put on a pre-filter and a new water separator/fuel filter, I must have let the fuel drain all the way back to the tank. The little fuel plunger pump does not work with air in it, so I got out my little hand pump vacuum pump and took off the line on top of the stanadyne injector pump. After hooking my vacuum hose to it and giving it a few pumps, I had the small inline cup full of diesel in about 10 seconds. I put the line back on the injector pump, took off the bleed screw and then pumped the small fuel plunger. I could tell that this time, it had something to push with (fuel). After pumping some fuel out the bleeder screw, I started cranking on it. A bit awkward, standing on the side step with 1 foot and the other on the gas pedal, one hand on the key and the other pumping the plunger...I turned it over for about 15-20 seconds at full throttle, and let it sit for a few minutes while I bled a bit more fuel out the bleeder screw. Then cranked on her again and she fired up, only missing on 1 cylinder for about 30 seconds running at about 1500rpm.
RNG,
Ed, funny about the tarps. Hits kind of close to home, being as I had one on my home for 3 months after a windstorm, waiting for the roofers to get time for me. Maybe I should have used it as a chance to gripe about the rich people around me. LOL.
PJS, hadn't heard Billy Sheehan's name in quite some time. He is very talented. I also was a big fan of John Entwistle's talents on bass, but not so much his vocals.
Happy Anniversary David and wifey Sodamo. Hope for many more.
Ron, your son got about the nicest truck you can buy IMO. I would like to compare window stickers of the new Ford to the 2012 V6 chevy...trucks sure have gone up. You have to have 2 college degrees to work on a 10 speed transmission I'm betting.
Daugen and wngsprd get the hard work medals of the week (HWMOTW) IMO for planting trees and working on those guns chopping firewood.
