Hi Darlin’,
Not a very good night sleep again despite my Sleepytime tea last night, but was up with the alarm early because James was coming over to meet some vendors. He actually got here 45 minutes before I was expecting him, hadn’t had breakfast yet, and I was hoping to be painting the other side of the boards by the time he got here, but that didn’t exactly work out. His first guy was here to give an estimate for the electrical for the new guest host spot, once he left I did my painting while James made some phone calls. The second guy was here for the old well, discovered it needed a new pump, not just a few filter things, so it will be awhile before that can get approved. Then I asked James about oil recycling, if they had a tub at the shop, and he thought they did, so we started to go over there to dump all my old hydraulic oil, but then I had trouble starting the truck. I figured it was the same old bleeder screw on the fuel filter (I was just pricing them yesterday!), and when I tried to fix it, I ended up breaking the darn thing off! Why they have a plastic screw in a metal housing is beyond me! So James drove me into town and I bought a new one, they only had plastic, yuck, and I came back and installed it, and just managed to get the truck started. I bled some fuel out and it seemed fine, but then when I pulled onto the road it almost stalled on me. I figured it was an air pocket that I missed, and it finally kicked in again. I managed to make it all the way to the shop, but then it stalled out on me and I couldn’t start it again. James brought me back to camp, and I was hoping to figure out a way to take my tractor down there and tow it back, but when I asked the other “old” James for the combination to the back gate, he offered to come to my rescue. He picked me up a few minutes later and we managed to tow it back in no time, it was a much better solution. But now I have my work cut out for me tomorrow! I finished putting on the second coat of paint on the boards, all I have now are the edges to do. I’m hoping the fuel problem is a simple one, maybe a piece of plastic got stuck inside or the filter needs fixing or something, I’ll try to diagnose it tomorrow. Finally settled down for the evening, soon for my shower and bed, did manage to get a load of laundry done today as well, so fresh sheets for me! Good night, babe! Love you!
