Mostly,
Missed Snagglepuss, so went searching. Barn in first place I looked, since she has done that before.

Son's AC stopped working again. They guy who came out the other day said he has worked on it a good bit and has recommended it be replaced... Hope the landlord agrees.

69°F and .11 inches rain.

Good results with the PW yesterday. Sadly my new one started acting up, electrical issue I think, so had to switch over to the Ryobi. Area looks good. Today, I’ll start inside the old tractorshed getting straightened up.

Quick trip to town for some essentials and treat Sophie at one of the more touristy restaurants. My burger was overcooked otherwise OK

Today we host H&F. shrimp stir fry on the menu.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Speaking of PW. cat left another gut bomb just outside the front door, combination guts and throw up. After the shovel, got PW out and cleaned all the new spots off the porch. Due to sticking Loader valve on PW, Ffirst removed the loader valve from PW and got the sticking plunger to move, put it back on PW, It worked once then went to sticking again, so had to keep removing the tip, run water till it caught, then put tip back on. repeat every time i wanted to pull the trigger..
marked end of rows in garden, but still too muddy to do anything. maybe tomorrow will be dry enough, sunny today, calling for lots of rain saturday again..

David, wondering how you are doing with the tractor that stalls out? I had a couple of problems similar to that. One was some plastic shavings from the fuel tank that ended up in the fuel filter and caused similar issues and the other was part of an acorn that intermittently blocked the fuel outlet in the fuel tank. Added a filter to the old diesel storage tank and have not had any problems since.

Nice splitter, Frits.

Thanks for asking. Almost 9 weeks at dealership. Actually spoke with tech face to face last Friday. He was able to experience the problem, but no codes, so still a mystery. I gave him a list of service type things to do before I pick up, hopefully next week or so.

I still suspect a fuel delivery problem. Discussed with tech, after I run and experience problem again I will install a 2 g external tank bypassing the builtin. If still a problem, ??, but I will also install a code reader in hope. If external tank doesn’t stall then I will completely remove existing tank and clean. 🤞

this young couple are farming and videoing like mad.
She is very articulate and just believable.
Having planted row crops and waited for them to come up,
when "that first hint of green" is seen, like I saw today driving through
Solebury looking at the fields. The first of the corn was popping up.
Other fields still beige or brown, likely from Roundup waiting for Roundup ready beans or ethanol corn.

these folks pretty much represent the best of American values
they are dealing with flooded fields and tornadoes and they saw the Northern Lights which apparently futzed up some gps units.
oh to be young and be able to afford to do this.
if you don't inherit land, it's pretty tough to do if you actually want to make a profit.
If you don't care, and many don't, they just like the farm life, the tax deduction, the seasonal quality of life in general.

I bet Don is still discovering new stuff in his new house.
And all that redecorating to do, his wife will be busy.

David, not sure you have any other alternative but you have been remarkably patient.
Did they pressure test the fuel line, could a glob of gasket guck be clogging a line?
had that happen on an Olds Bravada; pick up tube in transfer case clogged from the beginning build.

From a customer relations standpoint, If I were LS, I'd be giving you a loaner on them. 2 months is simply an unacceptable amount of time for
a new tractor to be down. They should be flying a tech in, whatever it takes.
Thank goodness your wife has a tractor.
It appears your local guy just doesn't have the diagnostic aptitude you need.
at some point you have to start replacing lines, parts, something...
I think your aux fuel tank makes sense. Will eliminate the tank. Then you have to trace the lines forward, blow them out.
good luck

cleaning and testing your fuel injector is another good one to cross off the list.
would be nice if someone here in the LS threads could help you. I'm just lamely guessing

David, sounds like a good plan.

I had a left and right tank on the ZT with valve so easy to isolate the problem. Tank had to come off to find the problem

one of the most helpful things I take along on rv trips is my small Makita blower.
I love the shore but the sand tracked inside is a problem.
so I keep the steps blown off and it helps.
staying at Cape Henlopen park, which
looks like a lot of sand here, will definitely go for walk over to the Fort
I'm on Row D, over to right with hopefully a view of something

will be there Monday afternoon
my foodie friends from Milton DE are coming on Tuesday and we will have fresh fish on the barbecue
My job is to keep their wine glasses full, they are much better cooks than I am.

after cancelling that last trip, testing the waters here on a two day, 3 hour drive.
should be fine.

made appt with ENT for end of the month. And cardiologist.
will worry about them when I get back. Time to have some fun.
