 Used 6 gals of non ethanol (real gas) to mow the yard.  

 Six gallons? That sounds more like a field than a yard!

Always get the water for the coffee upstream from the herd.

Back from Rock Creek Station.  Had a minor glitch on the way home, looks like an easy fix.   Good to have a brother with cool toys and a nephew that likes to help.  45 mile tow bill, $20. ;)

Spend the weekend with several friends including an Okie friend that drove 350 miles to do dishes.   :o

 :-\Congrats Grampa  :) 

What malady waylaid the Commodore ? 
Those Fords are probably last of the duck tape & bailing wire technology.  Which was a very good thing  , their passing is Bane to our
shade tree mechanical skills  :(


I found myself scratching my head, when my computer controlled everything vehicle , sputtered & shut off at a traffic light  ???
as if out of gas. The tank was 3/4 full , so an attempt to restart worked but with little or throttle control.
The name for this condition, is actually in the owners manual  " LIMP HOME MODE " !
Here is were it gets all " Big Brother " Twilight zone ish...
On board computer , tells the OEM the GPS location of my vehicle, a tow is dispatched , and its taken to the nearest Dealer for
repair....

 Drive by wire Throttle body ( as in sensor only, no cable or mechanical linkage ) is the culprit .... a couple of hours later
a new Throttle body is installed (at no charge) and I'm on my way....
Great outcome  :D ..... but somehow  I'm left feeling a bit no Bueno.

  Gone are the days , of Carburetors ,  distributers,  points, plugs & condensers ....
imagine that   :-\  missing greasy hands & scraped knuckles , go figure  ::)   
Hell , I even have my oil changed.

Afternoon all. 

One heck of a night here.  We had a bunch of helicopter-worthy medical calls overnight, and since I live less than a quarter mile from the helipad, sleep was not an easy task.  In between helicopter landings, there were neighbors who think riding a Harley through our little street at 3am is a good idea, a raccoon that tried to eat our bunny food (accompanied by frenzied barking from the dog) and so on.   In all, it equates to a day fueled by caffeine.

My new rifle should be in today or tomorrow now.  So then I'll be able to do the paperwork and wait my ten days.  :-\

That's quite a yard, and mower to match. I only mowing about 1 to 1 1/2 acres, but with the estimated 25+ year old JD 38" rider, and the Lowe's push mower, it's still a chore to keep it done. about half of it is "new" yard, IE former pasture, keep having to weld the deck back together because of hitting rocks and stumps.

The decks on the box store John Deers are all a nightmare. The one sitting here was ruined second use. The throttle cable broke furst use. The stactic drive transmission is shot now. Less than a100 hours. Three summers ago it was new. The prior got about five seasons. Deck was trashed body falling off. I replaced yhe steering linkage before it decided to never start again. No more JD's . I was wanting a Kabota 4x but they are twice what this cost. This cost more than my first new truck- JD cost more than my first cars.  As a group.
Thinking about running a electric wire and bringing a couple Burros home.

3" of rain since yesterday

Afternoon all.

Weather is hot and sunny, per usual California summer.

We have a Craftsman pushmower for our yard that is in its 14th season.  It gets used every three weeks in the summer, and that's it.  It also only has to mow 1/4 acre.  ::)

Good luck with the eyewear, Cap.

Yup, that little hole might cause a problem.

Been fighting cooling problems on my latest Blazer for a couple of weeks. First leaking heater core. Stop leak fixed that real good, no water even gets THROUGH it now. Then it's overheating, but no leaks. Cap holds no pressure, replace that. Good for a day, then radiator springs a pretty good size leak(but smaller than the FieldMarshall's leak) Replace that. Drive around 40-50 miles, seems fine. Next day, 20 minutes into the route, water pump is dribbling. Fixed that. Hardly any cooling system left to replace now. Actually went all day today without problems!
