Afternoon everyone... My deck project got postponed due to rain, after joking about it yesterday, wouldn't you know it would rain today. I did get the deck power washed, guess I'm one step ahead. Supposed to be nice tomorrow.
Thought I'd change the oil in the 79, so I backed it out of the garage and was getting ready to pull up on the ramps. Smelled a strong gas smell and popped the hood only to discover a leaky fuel line. Funny how one thing always leads to another. So, it's off to the parts store for some new fuel line.
Wifey thinks I should paint inside since it's too damp outside... I better get off to the store now while the gettin' is good!
