More work on the shop….

 

[Li'l Work Truck]

Today I forgot to put coffee in the machine before turning it on.The first time the coffee looked a little weak, perhaps time to clean the machine. On the second try I forgot to put the pot under the drip... but at least caught that lapse before walking away and coming back to a mess.

You are not alone. No, seriously, look out behind you!

Parts came in for the truck yesterday. went with a bosch starter, thought it was a german company but once again-“made in china”. Got it , new cables & a solenoid on it today & it fired right up. Had to jack up the left front corner to be able to get under it. Starter seemed quite heavy for its size. Looked like all the parts were original, starts really quickly now. Never thought it started bad before but it really hops off now. Drove it to my parents house since I didn’t have a chance to last weekend. Topped off the tank to check the milage, was impressed with it. 17 mpg out of a 4420# full size 1/2 ton. not bad at all.

Random day... went to a local swap meet (you've heard enough stories about me...) and was fairly controlled, just got a couple things until the end when I found a great deal on a Husky chainsaw... I think it's a 257 model with a 24" bar... couldn't pass it up for $100 since I have a need...

Then went to an estate sale and spent some more but got some good stuff, mostly consumables like spray paint, solvent and bar oil...

Once home I mowed some, cleaned the shop some, burned weeds in the shop driveway then just got in from moving some dirt.

Got the pool project finished, supposed to be in the ‘90’s this week so I might actually use it. The umbrella I got for free, guy at work scraps and this was in his truck along with the broken table it went with. zip-tied a pvc tube into the corner & its all good.
