Morning all, 52 going to 56 and cloudy, but see some sun.
Got taillight bulb changed out in Jeep, need to go in for inspection today.
Not much energy to do anything else.

Safe travels Drew.

Gstrom99 - hard times, wish our pets lived longer. Prayers sent

If the wind dies down I can finish painting the shelves and finish that half of the project while I decide where to put the wood shelves. Think I have a place.

Wife on antibiotics as she had not fully recovered from last virus and may have a sinus infection.

Be well,

Morning all,
Another wet dreary day here outside, low clouds fog drizzle. It has been an unusual winter, I keep waiting for March to slam us with a heck of a storm.
Going to be an interesting and aggravating day today, have to go up to another Town for Court with my wife. Damned Sheriffs deputy must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed the other day. NY has lost the knowledge to paint a license plate so it lasts, the reflective coating had delaminated from her plates. The little ass wrote her a ticket for the plates. Then she is feeling like she is going to be lying to plead not guilty and get the ticket thrown out. It just pisses my off that he didn't give her a warning or equipment ticket for something the state didn't build correctly. Also I had mentioned to her that she should stop and get new plates previously and that was to much trouble for her to do. Of course after she got the ticket we went and got her new plates that same day and now we get to waste a half hour driving each way and sit in Town Court for who knows how long. Going to be a fun afternoon.

Everyone stay safe and healthy or get well.

Yes ... assuming that they are actually having "a kid" adjust it.

But looking at a staff photo of the shop it doesn't seem likely.

FWIW, I've had a look at several YouTubes that show the back of the machine and it seems like the valve covers should be easy to get to. The valve covers are each held on by 4 Torx bolts ... can't imagine that it could be a problem.

Other than maybe getting a torque wrench down in there to tighten things once the adjustment is complete.

I looked over the procedure for adjusting the valves in the Kohler Service Manual. Seems pretty straightforward, outside of ensuring you're at TDC on No. 1 before you start:

Did do some checking and found out that the Hydro Gear service kit for the hydros is $94.57 on Amazon:

While that's kinda pricey for 2 filters and 5 quarts of oil and some assorted tubing and fittings the total of $277 - $100 for pick up and drop off = $177 for parts and labor on the hydros doesn't seem unreasonable to me ... though I'm guessing that I will probably doing it myself next time as it looks pretty easy ...

I bought the kit. found the pump thing to be about worthless to pump in the way they suggest, I think I filled the reservoir and let it drain down. remove the top fill plug so it gets air to drain down. Not too hard of a job.

Saw this after a long night up with my dog

I'm so sorry to read this. My wife and I can relate to the pain.

In late December, we had "one more night" with our loving Golden Retriever before having to put him down. Like your dog, he had terrible GI issues plus more.

It's terrible to reach the end of the line and I hope you can find some solace and healing. It is a terrible aftermath to lose a best friend. We are still very emotional about it and its been over two months.

Saw this after a long night up with my dog, out every two hours and trying "to go". I think it'll be his last. No BM in a week, and the Vet felt a bunch of masses "up in there". He would've been 13 in June and has been a great dog, but today will not be a good day...View attachment 856115

Never easy. Had to put one down for same reason years ago.

Yesterday my dentist office called to change my appointment from 11 to 10. Now 10:24 and still waiting.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 8:15AM. Cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 57F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph.
Picked up almost an inch of rain here yesterday, but it looks like the rest of the 10-day is clear to partly cloudy.

Got the zebra bike running with just a battery swap and some gas, but the alternator wasn't charging reliably. This from one that was replaced only a few thousand miles ago for the same issue, so now I'm wondering if there's a production problem over in Taiwan. I have other bikes I could cannibalize an alternator from, but between this and the alligator exposure, it's enough reason to cancel the campout this weekend for me. Maybe next year. Today I'll put all the parts in the saddle bags and switch back to hanging cabinets and unpacking boxes. Headed north again next week.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

63°F and 3.46 inches rain. Not done yet.

Worked on the living room gas fireplace yesterday. Added a blower, WiFi remote and replaced the control module for 2nd time. Apparently the 120 vac to 3vac transformer is bad. 0 reading on multimeter. Replacement on order.

Safe travels Drew

We are hosting H&F again. One of the players still under the weather. Beef short ribs on the menu.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
