Hey Sweetie,
Another day flies by! Hard to believe October is mostly gone already! Spend the day mostly working on the Buick, got the fuel rail put together and got it all hooked up, then ran into problems with draining the tank because I thought I needed to use the Schrader valve, but in the end, I loosed up the fuel rail and put a hose directly on the fuel line so I could use the battery power to drain the tank. It was a slow job, because my fuel pump automatically shuts off after about two seconds, then I have to turn the ignition off and back on again and it will go another two seconds, then I have to wait six seconds before it will let me do the same sequence again, so it took a couple of hours to drain all 14 gallons from the thank. Still have a little left in there, but I didn’t want to drain the pipe completely, afraid of whatever junk might be right at the bottom of the tank, but there’s less than two gallons left, so I figure when I add 5 gallons, it should work okay. I just hope bad gas is truly the only problem! Once I’m convinced it will run, I’ll have to invest in some new tires, the ones in the front keep going flat on me, should probably get a whole new set of four, but only it if it runs. The last set still have a lot of tread on them because they weren’t driven on too much, but now they’re old and rotted, don’t want to take any chances. It will be worth it, though, to have a runaround car for the next five or six month. I have to empty the three tanks I filled up with bad gas on Monday at the waste disposal place before I can get fresh gas and move this forward. Meanwhile in camp, the big church group left so it got a lot quieter today, but we still had quite a few campers. Getting to be that time of year! Gorgeous weather! We had several people come out to day ride, one woman, unfortunately, got thrown and hurt her arm just as she was mounting up, so she and her friend didn’t get to go, but the friend was planning on coming back tomorrow, so I offered to ride with her. Got the feeling she didn’t want to ride along, perfectly understandable. I was going to ride tomorrow anyway, so this will be good. Grilled a nice big steak for dinner, made my rounds and chatted with just about everyone, then settled down for the evening. Shower and bed shortly! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
