I love Craigslist!
On my list for nationals was to fix the AC in the Road Ranger. I already bought the bad hose, drier, o ring set and expansion tube. Today I got a used but brand new vacuum pump, the $130 ones for $30.
I was going to get adapters for my ancient R12 gauge set (about &25), but I found a new complete kit in a case for $33 delivered, so I ordered that.
I worked on the RR air tank set up, finally put something together I like. Of course totally different idea and a different tank. I got it 90% together, then had to paint the tank. I’ll write it up in the build thread when I get it all together.
And say a puppy prayer for little Lincoln. He had a rough week. Couple of months ago I got some guys to cut down some trees and clean stuff out for a couple thousand dollars and I’ve been hitting the low stuff with the lawnmower in a Weedwhacker. Where is the close in suburbs, but there are a lot of deer around here. Really don’t see many by me though because it’s a very busy street. But there were a couple that would occasionally hang out in the dark corner of my backyard.
Lincoln and I went out a couple days ago, and he ran straight into the dark corner, barking, and then before I could even get my seat he came out like a lightning bolt going the other way. I figured he was going after a different critter.
I got looking in my phone, and he was charging in the corner again barking. There was a little commotion, and right when I looked up, Lincoln shot passed me like a bullet, with that whimpering kind of arc, and I was sitting face-to-face with a pretty good size big deer! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Lincoln run and whimper.
Deer and I had a staring contest for about 10 seconds, Lincoln started to come back. Slowly, the deer took a step forward, and I threw my arms up in the air and shouted, and then it went off in a different direction. Lincoln was clearly upset the entire rest of the evening, and he did go more than 3 feet away from me the next day when we went outside. his territory had been violated.
Last night we came in about 10 PM, and very unusual, there was a mama deer and a little fawn literally sitting in the middle of my front yard. I’ve seen them outback once in a while, but I’ve never seen any out between the house of the road. When I parked in the front turn around, they meandered over to the property line, but didn’t run. Lincoln barked out the window, but when I pulled him out and put him on the ground (and I kept them on a leash this time) he didn’t want anything to do with it, he just walked around the back of the house and went inside. I could tell by the way he was acting he was all shook up again.
Well, today was happy birthday America. So everybody shooting fireworks all day long, and then, right behind me is a Park where they do the bigger displays. That really freaks Lincoln out. He stayed virtually under my feet. The few things I had to do walking around, and when I sat down to watch a little TV, he literally crawled up on top of my chest. The only time he does That is what he’s really spooked. I fear it’s going to go on all weekend.
Quiet now, took my pill. Wish I had one for him
