A self portrait
 
I got me two very hungry hounds this morning. I had to pick up water and chow last night in preparation of Spay appt this morning for the pup. I can’t believe she is six months old already. I will get the pup loaded up and come back in and put water and food back out for Gracie. The pup does not like going into town. I have been taking her in the last few weeks to our town square and walking her around a bit trying to get her used to the sound and bustle of town. But we got to go into the big city today for Vet Spay appointment. Nothing worse than a scared dog, they only have one reaction.
The prairie dog in my avatar didn't mind the ride at all and was absolutely happy in my shirt and looking out and around but one of her cage mates hated the truck (the quiet truck) and had to put him in a pet carrier. Some years back I had a mixed breed terrier and anyone that drove into the driveway was A-OK but if they walked up, all hell broke loose! She loved cars and riding in them....but never chased any.
 
Two totes and more showed up. All new front end stuff including brakes. Started knocking things apart. Looks like hes going for a new power steering gear,without the hydraulic control and cylinder.
 
Gas eats the inside and age ruins the outside. A small engine with a primer starts so much easier in cold weather. It's like an accelerator pump shot when we start our old cars.
Yup the primer makes it easier but never had any problems with starting up a cold engine without a choke. Problem with that primer bulb is once it's cracked, you're dead in the water unless you have an extra in the tool box. I fired up my Gravely yesterday after replacing the 15 year old fuel filter :)D). The choke on that 1984 garden tractor fell off the shaft over 20 years ago and if it's not really cold, I can get it going by hitting the starter with the throttle part way open for a few seconds then closing the throttle and it'll fire off. In warm weather it usually will idle but when it's cold like it was yesterday (around 45*) I'll have to do that a couple of times or use a shot of brake wash. It surprised me it started so easily yesterday since I haven't run it in about a month.
 
:lol: I was cruisin' round town yesterday, came upon a new Ferd Raptor pick up. Fender flares, ugly wheels, 4x4, monsterous tars, all in all not bad lookin, cept for them wheels. The 3.5l EcoBeast is the standard power plant, turbo V6. It got past me to where I could hear it. FART CANS! Sounded like an obese Yota Crowroller :rofl:
 
Did that when young and dumb while in the military in Germany....but it wasn't doing that when I left the base heading down to the Moselle River. The road had about an inch of snow on it and no one had driven on it yet and the snow flakes looked like ping pong balls coming down! Stopped that drug nonsense pretty fast....
 
Hard to believe that they put those primer bulb on equipment that's made to be in ice cold weather!! Is it the 'soft' bulb or those cheap clear looking ones? I have a very old Toro lawn mower and it uses a soft one that you can't see through. Had the mower since the mid/late 80's and have only had to replace it once.
Black rubber. It’s a ‘97 and I only replaced it once before. I think the one I just got is aftermarket and doesn’t rebound very well. Probably going to get a spare OEM if I keep this much longer. It smokes a bit after starting, but still works great
 
Got my shot in the back yesterday. They said 2 days to 2 weeks till it really kicks in. Still hurts, but noticed improvement. Didn’t think I was going to die putting my socks on this morning.:thumbsup:
