Hopefully this will do what I need to do. This bit of fence building is only one of many. Last two years I have put in around 2,500’ or so here at the house all either in the woods or in cutover. Outgrew it fast. Field fence will definitely slow down trespassers, but only one thing will stop them..........

Got ready to work on my car!

With Therapy dead, with either a bad fuel pump diaphragm or it's push rod worn down, I'm betting on the fuel pump being toast as old steel stuff lasts. I easily ordered a Carter fuel pump today for 33 bucks and wanted to make sure I had a spare cam lobe to pump push rod just in case, as the new repro stuff is crap. I've read here that they wear out in a year tops, losing over a 1/4" in length. I had to use a bit of Stihl to get the push rod out of my spare block, I guess my high school buddy tightened the access plug in good back in '78 when he reconditioned this engine for me in highschool auto shop, for my '69 Fury II ! I did managed to get it out and 51 years later, since it was mfg, it is still full spec length! Mind you it has been stored for 40 years..

Why is the stuff you need always in the lower crate..

Arm in through the 4" gap and just can't get enough on the plug to get it loose.

Guess I'll have to use some Stihl...

Now maybe I can get the plug and push rod out.

Maybe your just getting old Wayne(with Pope plug),lol. Happens to me year to year.
 
Finished restoring this old John Deere seed canister that goes on a farm implement to plant seeds. Its my new waste basket for the garage. I didn't remove the sticker, i left it on the canister, and worked around it. I think it came out pretty good. I fashioned a lid from an old cookie tin and built a small platform with wheels to complete it. Its a very heavy item for a trash can, but at least it wont fall over!

Just flew back from Arizona this morning. Was there for a couple of weeks remodeling a friends bathroom that passed away unexpectedly last month. 24”x48” porcelain tile that looks like marble on the walls with white granite jambs. 24”x24” porcelain on the bath floor. Came out nice. It had been gutted and not worked on for about six months. Now the house can be sold. Arizona is really, Really nice.

I was there in February and thought it was miserable, lol. Not to mention there’s 8 million people crammed in that area. I like Florida much better!
 
Still plugging away on dad's truck. Got the d ash all wired back up and installed, wiper motor and linkage blasted painted and installed, now rebuilding the steering column.

I got the old Stihl 044 running after loaning it out (never again!).

Yeah, way to many people and way too much traffic for me too. I was only referencing the valley weather (HIGH temperatures) in my other post. But there is a lot of beautiful countryside once you get out of the city. But then you'll most likely be in the higher elevations and back to colder temps and snow.

Florida, too much humidity for me.

I noticed there’s a big difference depending on where in Florida you’re at. I like the Ft. Myers area. I didn’t care much for northern FL or the east coast.
