Friggin Awesome !!!

It happened! It's in there. Let the fun begin.....all over again.....ugh. It went well. 1.5 hrs from friend backing into driveway until he pulled back out. Took a little finesse, wasn't perfectly engineered, but it got set in place. I can't post pictures of friends truck because it is a Cat service truck and it will get him in trouble with corporate. We just back from lunch and it just started pouring rain.

Happy Birthday Bob.Enjoy your bash....Have that cold one on me Paul🤣

lol hey thanks fellas,,,wife is throwing a big bash,,,,should be around 40 people local watering hole with food,,,i think mark T might be involved here someplace,,,bob

My wife told me yesterday that I should go to the doctor. I told her that if it wasn't better this morning I would. But it does appear to be better. We have some of that Repel, and Deep Woods Off, and Cedarcide. I sprayed some of all of it on me. But come to think off it, I only sprayed my legs. I think ticks are more powerful than they used to be, they scare the crap out of me. I know several people myself who have alpha gal from tick bites. You can't eat red meat when you have that. And this tick was really tiny! It probably stayed a while longer than normal because it was so tiny I thought it was part of those scratches on my arm from the wire, until it started itching. I probably said here before when it happened, but when I still lived in Gladys I had several tick bites that I got picking blackberries in the cutover behind the house. I woke up the next morning and my face and lips were swollen, my hands were swollen to the size of small hams, and my- well, other things were swollen that weren't supposed to be. So I rushed to the doctor and he said "it's probably an allergic reaction to a tick bite, but I don't think you have lyme disease". Really - you think? Anyway, he gave me a shot in the ass and gave me a prescription for some pills that I took for a week or so and that was it. But ever since then, to this day my hands are super sensitive to heat and cold. Warm water on my hands feels like it's scalding hot and if it's under about 40 degrees I have to wear gloves because they feel like they're freezing.

You need to get some "Sawyer's Permethrin"(my choice) insect repellent at WalMart or "Repel Permethrin" at Tractor Supply. l spray my coveralls till they are damp then let them dry a couple days hanging up. Wife said the looks of your arm you need to get to the doctor. My brother -in -law got lyme disease from a tic while camping and it's nothing you want to deal with. .....Hippy

the "check valve" is nothing more then a fiber(plastic) T shaped with small spring. some one must have a cap and washer to replace hand primer . and a BIRTHDAY best to you today🍻, the "check valve" stay with the transfer pump you should have the hand primer top of transfer pump and next to it a metal cap (3/4 wrench ?}locate a similar cap = put in place of hand primer.

It's Bob's birthday?.. happy birthday Bob!

That's exactly what I did.

serious question. 50 years ago when you saw what you saw, was alcohol involved? i mean i dont care, but others might.

proper answer to the alcohol placement question would be both.

Abigail and the VA Democrats sure are doing a stroke 🤛☣️of business down there. .....Hippy

You got a dm.

The check valve is not part of the primer pump, you can run it without the primer pump, the primer pump just makes it easier to start after having the fuel delivery system opened up. terry

so i was thinking this but i wonder the true descision why its there. both sound correct ive experienced that with a twin stick tranny once. stuck in middle of a tight turn and thought i broke the truck. then thought about it. you just need that relative motion between the sliding clutch and the gear your going into.

Thanks fjh, didnt know that

Hmm..... I have no proof, there is no evidence, but I saw what I saw and nothing in the past 50+ years has explained it.

Did the alcohol go on the boo boo or in the pie hole ?? Just curious, you know,,,, in case i get a tick bite.....

I made a little more progress on on the chicken house today, and mowed the grass. I ran the tiller through the garden yesterday. It's time to plant, and the grass was knee high but I'm way behind because of the chickens. The boss keeps coming out and changing things after I've already done it a different way. But we're getting there, got the hardware cloth started around the bottom and some across the top. I changed the tarp too, the boss didn't like it. Here's the view from the back porch- the big white thing on the right is the box it came in. It had a nice picture on it, in case I needed to see what something was supposed to look like. I was using it to set my tools and equipment on too. I got a tick off my arm yesterday, so tiny you could barely see it. But it itched like crazy all night last night, and now my arm is red and swollen where the bite is. I put some Neosporin on it, and alcohol, and it's oozing nasty stuff. I'm gonna keep an eye on it.

Bob !!! You completed another lap around the Sun. Good job !!!! Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊!!

I really don't think they need to put anyone else up there, but I thank God every single day that it isn't Kamala or Hillary!

Nice. I didnt know that fjh.. i like it

You can also use propane at idle there is no boost! And some vacuum!run a unlit torch around the charge air edges and welds! The rpm will rise if your in the area of a crack!
