Good morning!!!!

Which fuel stabilizer was it, Ted?

I'd like to know so as to avoid using or buying the wrong one...

I was surprised that the fuel line disintegrated being that I used the so-called "good stuff" ----- Sta-Bil 360 marine.

I really think it was just a coincidence..... the tractor is a '97, been using ethanol gas since new. The fuel line makes a "lazy U", with the filter being at the top of one leg, the tank at the top of the other leg. The foot long slug was at the bottom of the "U".

I believe it was just it's time to disintegrate. I used cheap stabilizer (or none at all) in the past, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Good Evening.
It’s been a crazy couple days. Last nights trip trip to Martha’s Vineyard turned out to be bringing some field hockey equipment to a family that was sending a daughter off to camp and forgot it. I ended up getting home around midnight. Because of the recently seal costed lane, we have been parking at my son’s and commuting by golf cart to the cars. On my golf cart ride home, I was reminded where the expression “like a deer in the headlights” came from.

This morning I went out to breakfast, and on the way home I got a call asking if we could “save the day”. Apparently the the airplane that was chartered to fly the daughter and hockey equipment to camp had an issue, so I dropped what I was doing, rounded up a copilot and headed to the Vineyard where we picked up mom and daughter and took them to camp, and then returned mom to the Vineyard. It might seem like crazy over the top excess, but they are such nice people, and so appreciative, that you feel good about helping them. They even brought us a gourmet lunch to eat while mom made the drive from the airport to camp and back.

Tomorrow morning wife and I are going out to breakfast for our 47th anniversary. We joked that going out to dinner would keep us up past our bedtime. So someone else will have to save the day tomorrow.

Uneventful day, ran some errands with the wifey this morning. By the time we got home, it was too hot and smokey to get motivated to do any outside work. I then decided that I really needed a nap.... what I thought would only be an hour, became 4. It was worth it!

The smoke is supposed to clear out overnight, and our monsoon moisture returns starting tomorrow. I sure hope so. At least the high temps are going to drop into the mid and low 80's the rest of the week. Into the high 70's for the weekend! That's a long way off for a forecast, so 'we'll see'....

Drew, if that RV is in decent shape and a good price, you should grab it! RVs have become scarce and are demanding crazy high prices!

So much for early to bed, installing my video program and it decided to download 64bit version that’s taking a long time.

65° right now...feels really good!! High in the low 80's again.

We're thinking about getting another dog. Still miss Bella, but we want a happy puppy in our lives. Right now, we're looking at rescue pups...and might get a brother and sister. Both mutts, but adorable

Happy Anniversary Paul.

Yesterday's sunrise.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Popgadget.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
overnight showers stopping, not much accumulation, hot and sticky today and for next couple of days.

Paul congrats on a long marriage and hope you have a fun breakfast this morning.

I'm off to look at an rv this morning at 8am, told lady I was just looking and would bring her some tomatoes.
It's a traditional older style diesel pusher but perhaps they built them better 15 years ago. I certainly can't afford anything
this size new, but a Cummins/Allison powertrain with 75k miles is pretty low miles. It's all the other stuff in an rv that breaks...
Seller told me they replaced all ten suspension air bags last year. Now that's the kind of work you want done before the sale.

still pondering, a future on the road, or on the tractor. I'm leaning towards the tractor but really want to see what a good deal rv option is.
I've had a travel trailer, a class A gasser and a class B diesel motorhome, and all of them have their advantages.
Let's see, nice new tractor where everything works? Or an older rv where everything will break at some point?
But...I can't see Mt Rushmore in a Kubota...
