I haven't played professionally since the 80s, I was included due to being on the Board of Directors of the Fort Smith Riverfront Blues Society. Show is coming up last weekend of June. Come on out, should be a great time.
Its felt very hot here today, cutting brush with a chainsaw, piling and burning didn't help matters much.
And to think, tomorrow is that dreaded Monday.
Whatever happened to the times when we got normal rains? I mean like 1/4-1/2" spread out over the day as a slow, steady drizzle. It started raining here about 1AM and by 8:30AM we officially gotten 6.05 inches. This was in the NWS gauge at the park. The river is on a fast rise again, how high it goes, nobody knows.
Grrrr!!!!! Decided it was time to get the ol 83 F250 down off the rack so that I could use the winch. Truck fired right up, ran for 30 seconds or so and ran out of fuel. Flipped the switch to the front tank and never could get it to prime. In looking farther I discovered that rats had eaten the fuel line to the rear tank and the wiring to the fuel selector valve. Looks like its time for some rat bait and truck repairs.
That's about the same amount that was missing from the fuel line on my truck. Ever tried replacing the rear fuel lines on a 83 F250 diesel with our dropping the tank? Its not a fun job, especially after I had let it roll down off the ramp. If only I had known. ;-)
Now its time to figure out what happened to the tank selector valve. It gets fire, just no operation.
There are several domesticated cats here, and I have even seen a bobcat right outside my window. I hear owls pretty often too. They can't get all the rodents. Once they get up into a confined space like that they are safe from any animal large enough to not be able to fit where they can.
I can't imagine a hose full of diesel being too tasty either.
Now onto my other project. Here's the little water well rig. I know it doesn't look like much, but there's two wells here that are 200' that were drilled with an older version of the same. The pits are for drill mud and settling ponds for the cuttings. Gonna get started drilling Sat. morning. Wish me luck!
