Just checked Costco's price, a gallon is $60. What is the difference?
Good morning! 47˚, clear skies heading to the mid 70's - perfect spring day. E-mail is getting active with request for brush removal.

Artificial flavors and preservatives? Made in China? Forced child labor? I bet Bill knows...

Sunny and 60F already @ 08:30, heading to around 80F for the day's high.
Coffee tasting mighty good, ready for 2nd cup.
Woman over at neighbor/friend's letting the little monsters out of their crates while friend is at hospital.
Her son's surgery is today. They will remove his femur and replace it with a titanium rod. Tough stuff.
Yesterday didn't go quite as well as I hoped, but it was nothing compared to the above.
Did resolve printer issue: just needed a new ink cartridge.
Got manual for saw printed out, along with the manual for the Kohler engine on the Cub.
After attempting to start Cub and being unsuccessful, I made the run down to the mower shop where we bought the Cub and picked up air, oil, and fuel filters.
Stopped on way back at the local auto repair place and made an appointment to get Woman's car in on Thursday. Was surprised they could get it in that quick.
Replaced fuel filter, still no starting joy.
Grabbed 5 gallon gas can from over in the garage and the transfer pump and drained one tank, thinking it might be bad fuel. Couldn't see how, but what the heck it was worth a shot.
Ran down to the corner and got some hi-test and refueled. Nope.
Took a break from that and worked with The Woman gathering up sticks and downed branches off the lawn. Two bucket loads of those hauled up to the brush pile.
Re-installed chickenwire cage that Woman found around the peach tree on the east side.
Took another stab at starting the Cub. It was around that time that I realized that I wasn't hearing the whine of the fuel pump pressurizing the system when I turned the key on. It isn't real loud ... so easy to miss if you are not paying close attention.
After that I called the dealer and made arrangements for them to come pick it up. They should be out in the next few days. Very disappointing to be sure.
At that point I needed a little "therapy" so I headed on up to the shop for the rest of the day.
Got all the fittings, bushing/grommets, and filters installed back on metal enclosure after painting.
Started on the saw itself: trunnion brackets, trunnions, yoke, and motor mount reinstalled:
Trunnions/tilt mechanism and motor mount rotate smooth ... like buttah !
Not sure what all will be on agenda for today.
Feeders still need refilled.
And wheel bearings on dump cart still need replaced.
So those are both likely candidates.
Beyond that possibly more stick/branch picking up and more saw work.
Hope everyone has a great Hump Day ...

Drilled a a bunch of fence post holes yesterday to block off the neighbor. Wish I had invested in a hydraulic auger for the excavator.
But since I have the 3 point auger I guess I am too cheap and not doing much fencing any more.
In a couple of spots the auger had to chew its way through roots but after a few minutes broke through.
RNG never fun to be stuck. Hopefully there will be a tree near enough to winch from.
Wonder if you could connect a small can with fuel to bypass your tank etc just to make sure it runs.
I have a vacuum system driven by compressed air that I used for flushing brake lines. Could be useful for sucking up the tank

'morning all. Hobbled around yesterday, but leg is feeling better today. Spray foam (closed cell) guy didn't get here until about 3. He finished up a little after 6. He had all the PPE stuff and a pretty impressive trailer unit (built in MN), with a JD diesel powering everything (A/B fluids, fresh air, compressed air). Interesting work. He did a thorough job, and got into all the little spots I was concerned with. $$, but should be worth it. Only got one pic of install.

Nice sunny day.
Mailbox alert guy called right on time. He emailed me a script to reflash the hub. We used the chips from the new alert. It works, worked on my old mailbox alert. Then I flashed the old hub chip as a mailbox alert, and it worked. Got them both installed and working, one on mailbox, the other on the barn door.
This is inside of the new unit, that chip is now the hub in a different box.
Notice my helper.
This is the hub that sits in the house and is connected to my network.
