Good Morning!!!! 70F @ 4:30AM. Sunny. High 98F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.
While you're out, Drew, you might want to pick up some Seafoam, Stabil, or other fuel stabilizer and put it in your Audi's tank. Better yet, take it for a nice long drive and use up the old fuel in it, then fill with fresh, and stabilize it.
Thanks for sharing your photos, Ron. I take it that was a sunrise?
Good luck with the shoveling, Eric. No backhoe?
Do you rub your tires with your fingers when you run through grit, Bruce? We used to do that, as the tires never ran true enough for the scrapers we made from old spokes to work.
The neighbors with the cherry orchard have a few rows of sour cherries that seem to sell quite well.
Thanks for the recipe, David. How much pineapple do you put in your variation?
Got all the bolts out of the tank lid yesterday, and only sheared one head off. Had some slotted screws to get out, too, and only sheared one of those. Both were steel fasteners driven into aluminum, and neither have to be replaced.:thumbsup: Got about half the lid loosened; there's some kind of rubbery/tar like sealer under it that's pretty tenacious, and I'm hoping that if I can get enough small wooden blocks between the two, the lid will let go. By noon it was too hot to work out there, so I'll give it another go this morning. Now have to figure out how to lift the sheet. Probably run a chain through a few C clamps, then hook the chain with the bucket or fork tines on the FEL. But might not have enough lift, so it could get "interesting".
The leaking UV filter under the kitchen sink caused the cabinet floor to split, so yesterday I cut a piece of shelf liner to cover it. The same fitting on the UV filter started leaking again, and when I tightened it, it broke. I have new brass ones on order from McMaster, and will use bottled water until they get here. Should probably rotate those bottles anyway, they're probably five or ten years old by now.
Hope everybody's week gets off to a good start!
