I think that will do it!
Didn't get around to putting in the point conversion kit last night but I think I found the issue with the pool. Pretty sure it is the sand bags the previous owner used to weigh down the steps. I pulled them out and poured a ton of liquid chlorine in the pool.

Oh I have thought about it a couple hundred of times, and to throw the hot tub in on top just for good measure.

We are debating a hot tub for the new house. Lexie will have a jetted tub and I will have a steam shower.

I did not how much construction technology has changed. Styrofoam concrete forms, fabric for footer forms, micro rebar (looks likee twisted needles) added to the concrete that can replace most of the regular rebar

Pulling the sand bags out did the trick, water is nice and clear after one night with the filter running. 2 gallons of chlorine didn't hurt either. The water temp is perfect. The valve on the automatic chlorinator started leaking, can't catch a break.

Went to install the point conversion kit and found out that the little rotor clip was missing. It had to have been from my daughters x boyfriend messing with it.

You put a roof on the tractor?

Today did not any better. While waiting on the deputy another the meth head I checked my bank balance a large bill got paid twice.

Drove out to the land was going to do some bush hogging. Tractor died just like it was outhe of fuel. I had filled it up yesterday. The filter looked nasty. Talked to local (orange)l tractor. He suggested I drain the tank sounded like trash. Drove back out pulled the fuel line of the tank fuel looked clear.. too clear let some run across my hand did not feel like diesel. Had no smell.

Unknow to me my transfer tank got some water in it. Over night the water settled
When I setup my transfer tank thought I got the fuel water filter . So I added a 10 micron filter change the filter in the clear bowl to fuel/ water.

Now for today's math question. If a filtereally head cost 29.99 the filter cost 9.99, how much does a kit with filter head and filter cost? 27.99 part 2 a filter installation kit that has 2 one inch bushing ( 2.89 each), a 1 in close nipple(1.89) and a little bit of Telflon tape. 29.99



For now I am back to 5 gallon can. I going to let the howes work for a couple of days
