Good morning!!!!

HPX Gator update: Still not running properly. Will idle, but falls on it's face when given any throttle for over a second or 2. Have been through carb twice, replaced float and needle seat. Trying to use a clear line on carb's drain, as a float bowl level indicator, but not sure exactly where gas level should be. I eyeballed the point where the needle's contact is made....but not sure how deep the floats' waterline should be....Anyway, it seemed all over the place as I couldn't get a good reading due to the air box and accoutrement in the way...

I don't know if this'll work for the HPX, Kyle, but on the airhead bikes, I leave the float bowl off, hold the float up to close the valve, then turn the fuel on. Then I let the float come down slowly, and watch for when the gas starts flowing. That's the float level. There's a seam on the plastic float, and when it's parallel to the carb bottom as the gas just comes on, that's the proper level. That part probably isn't appropriate for the HPX, but you'll be able to eyeball where the gas comes on and pretty easily tell if that point is too high or low in the "stroke" of the float. HTH...

74F and sunny @ 12:30, headed up to a high of 79F. Promises to be a beautiful day.

Great sleeping weather last night (low of 55F in the overnight)

Got lower front and west side + back down around the house cored yesterday.

Also filled hopper and one sunflower tube feeder + fed fish.

Some work done on the next bed watering rig as well.

Some kitchen clean up.

Plans for today:

Finish up coring down around the house.

Possibly core the upper front.

Likely mow lawn, which I'm pretty sure needs it at this point. (Run out and get gas before doing so though)

Finish up electric fence.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

RS, you going to be out this way any time soon? You'd have this done in an hour.

LOL ... good one ...

No plans at present I'm afraid ... way too much work to do here ...

Enjoy the new plants.

68°F and .29 inches rain.

Put together a nice spaghetti and meatball meal for the neighbors and delivered mid afternoon. I know it was good as I made enough for our dinner as well. Still hard to comprehend that Mike was only 58.

Quite pleased with how the container end walls/transitions are working out. A 3 ft pocket door on bathroom end and what might be described as a 42in sliding wall on bedroom end.

Need to run the push mower over the dogs area this morning. Seat time next week before the major areas get too tall.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

good morning all.
Dennis, have fun camping. May nothing leak or break in the rv, which you know is a big ask...

lovely out now, much cooler at 55 going up to low 80s, super nice weather.


Funny thing, Drew, the thing won’t start until you make about three or four times, and each time it makes six attempts at starting. This was on gasoline. Does yours do that?
Thankfully no. So far I have only run mine on propane, takes about three seconds of cranking for fuel to get where it needs to go and then it starts right up. I keep ten gallons of gas
ready for it (which I use in mower to keep the fuel fresh) but so far haven't had to put any gas in tank, so have left it dry. If I get a big outage, when the propane runs out, I'll switch to gasoline if need be.
almost sounds like your carburetor is gunked up which makes no sense on a new unit.

Hope Mostly got off ok on his early morning bike ride and has a good time.

I have spent the last hour emailing church members on a called meeting on Sunday to discuss Covid and recent CDC announcements.
No question our kids will wear masks this Fall but now adults are considering remasking. Need to determine whether Bucks Co is high, medium or
low SARS incidence. If not low, we will surely consider remasking inside.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Drew, this may help

Do you need to wear a mask where you live? Understand the CDC's new guidance

The CDC advises wearing masks indoors if hospitals are overloaded and the coronavirus is spreading widely where you live. Find out the level of virus transmission in your county.

Kyle, I might have missed it, but have you checked the fuel pump. It could be pumping but not have enough pressure to sustain higher RPM. A common problem with race cars.

And here's more info about why the CDC is changing the mask recommendations:

CDC mask decision followed stunning findings from Cape Cod beach outbreak

The flash pic of the cat took as a short video, so I had to screen shot from the video. I keep live picture turned off, hate that mode, but yet that’s what it did for flash.

I like the live picture feature, especially for the furry kids.

Your camping looks relaxing. Enjoy

Good to read you’re OK, Ted. Sorry the knee still achallenge.

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time

What kind of tractor do they have there?

I am guessing something like this :-
