I must admit that I wasn't expecting the call but it was nice to get seeing as we have good weather for at least 10 days. This place will always have something that should be done but at least in a week all of the mandatory jobs will be done and I'll have a place to work out of, there's already an upgrade list starting with a horizontal mill and another 360 square feet of room. Lol

It was a busy night Morris.. Had to stay over a bit and plug up the power equipment .. Went to get gas for the blower and the station was out of 100% gas in 87 and 89 octane..

I hate all this 15% ethanol as it evaporates from the vent tubes in my carb and it makes my truck appear to be hard starting as my float bowl is dry.

I hope that we too get nice weather for awhile yet, it`s too early for it to be cold and I still have tons of stuff to do around my farmyard before that happens. How often will you use of the horizontal milling machine Perry?
So it was another busy night again Steve...is there any other kind for you at work? You can still get 100% gas?

Same here Perry, I should get electric fuel pumps for my vehicles that sit for long periods.

I had to install an inline filter because it creates more sludge in my tank but the gas bar with ethanol is .02 a liter cheaper most days and .06 a liter cheaper on Monday and Thursday around here.

Just wrapping up doing my brother's running around, good day for it as its warm and sunny. When I get home I think I'll put a new door on the shop seeing as there's 2 solid wood doors waiting to be hung. These are the doors that set me back $6.25 for all 3 and I sold one for $30 a few months ago, pretty hard deal to turn down.

There was a catch to the doors, its best if your under 6 feet if you want to use them but they weigh about 50 pounds each. Had to take an inch off one side of the door as it was easier than messing with the glass stucco on the garage. I'm putting in some floor level heat ducting in the shop so it means that there's going to be a step to get over in order to get into the shop but that should discourage stupid people from coming in after they've had a face plant or 2. Still need to put on the lock system so for now I have 2 doors in one door way.
