Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Saw a few today that looked to be asleep at the wheel.
Saw one Karen doing some road raging. She drove thru construction area, behind the barrels to pass someone and get behind someone who must have wronged her somehow. She proceeded to just lay on her horn. Both cars then proceeded straight from a left turn lane. At next light she layed on horn again. After that light changed she followed the other car a mile, then she pulled onto shoulder. After I went by, she then did a youturn. So at least 3 traffic violations from her.

I got gas 4 times today. Once leaving in AM, then 2/3 of way down it was 3.39 (3.79 some places). so filled up again and filled a gas can. Then on way back topped it off again, and filled 3 more gas cans.
Then topped off again near home at Costco for 3.50.

Crazy drivers.

Was the cheap gas at Love's near Staunton? That's where I found it.

good morning all
.7 more rain late last night. That totals 2 inches in three days.
I wish I could send it to Ted and our Texans.

had fun with drone yesterday. Too many trees near me and lots of power lines.
Sure does go way up in the air...
still won't return to home, says i'm too close.
going to let my drone expert friend fiddle with it and see if I have some adjustment off.

Ron, your camera sure has a marvelous lens, the photo detail is like looking at 8k video, you see
things you never saw before. Too bad high rez video makes such big files, hard to email.

was disappointed not to see more neat cars on the road. Yesterday's car show was US cars, today is foreign.

if the town wasn't so mobbed for the show, I'd go down to the Delaware River and try to get some drone pics out over the water.
Need a little more practice before I do that likely. I don't think these things will motor back to you...

my hydrangeas are really happy
cut one bloom off and brought it inside, will likely drop stuff all over but still pretty

is this a bad bug?

neighbor cut his grass too short, while wet. Predictable results.

72 and muggy out. Going to 94. Hope we get the 30% chance of rain and not the 70% no-chance.

Buppies, enjoy that mower. I might have to wait until after a rain moistens the ground to mow...grass is brittle.

Kyle, sorry it's so hot and dry there. Sounds like you're getting a nice satisfaction in your job.

Went to some friends' place on the river yesterday and ate steamed crabs...really good. He was scheduled for hip replacement and the pre-op tests found a tumor in his lung...going for a biopsy, and then likely lobe removal.

Morning all;
A bit of an almost cool morning at 68 now. Had a retirement party to go to yesterday for my Sister in law, not a bad shin dig. Lots of good food food had 8-10 different salads and some grilled chicken. Supposed to eat about 5 but my nephew was cooking the chicken using a newer indirect BBQ that he got, nice rig but he didn't realize how much different 80 split chicken halves were going to take time wise then just a couple of them, so the chicken started coming off around 8. Long wait with the smell of chicken drifting through the air. But a good get together. Mostly her family and ours.
Then up about an hour ago walking a cramp out of my leg and now my first cup of coffee is almost gone, may be a 3 cup morning.

Best wishes to all stay safe and enjoy.

So I went out to fire up the log splitter for the first time since last year, and it started on the second pull! YAY!!!


and then, after about two minutes, it sputtered Coughed sputterEd, stumbled, sputtered then died.

pulled it again, started right up, then repeat.

gas was fresh, used two days ago in pressure washer with no issues.

pulled carb, looked clean, sprayed it all out with CC, reassembled.

Started, smoothed out, then sputtered stumbled etc.

any suggestions?

purchased in 2014, warranted for new engine in 2015 (factory forgot to install wrist pin retaining clip, wrist pin walked out while running… not my fault.)

never had an issue with it before.

THANKS!!!!

Might be water in the gas tank. That was my problem.

left at 8 am, pulled in at 8 pm. Lot got mowed again. It was heavy, had to mow slower. Had greeters when I arrived.
Reminded why I don’t like to go on Saturday, lots of traffic. Had to take detour on way home due to accident.
New batteries in cell cam and it’s sending pics again.

Looks like golf coarse when your done mowing.

I’m trying, but work finds me.

Ahhh so you didn't read fine print lower of the page of retirement...
" You shall be assign to any duties need attention"

Might be water in the gas tank. That was my problem.

When I opened up to put gas in, it was dry - I always “check”

Enjoy the seat time and take easy on the toe Buppies.
