Evening everyone. I came home to a mess this evening. The AC drain plugged up and there's water all over the floor in the utility room and the hose between the tank and the filler neck rotted out in Grease Monkey's Kia which makes filling the tank a rather messy proposition. She's got it torn apart, but I've got to figure out a makeshift hose that'll pull a 90 degree turn in about 6 inches of length. Factory correct is out the window and generic fuel filler hose won't make the turn. Of course she has to be at work by noon. I've already let the boss know I won't be in...

I've bodged it back together temporarily using a molded radiator hose section until a similar section of fuel rated hose comes in. It's a terrible way to fix it, but it'll last until we both have time to do it right.

Don't have a stick welder I can loan you, But I have one of those cheap Harbor Freight Migs you can borrow. It doesn't use the gas. It just sits in my shop. I got it to stick stuff together while my big mig is loaned out and away from home. I live just outside Rogersville if your interested.
Thanks.

Well, someone was supposed to come over "late morning" to look at the farm tractor. No call, no show. ....shocking. I even aired up the tires and everything! Some people's kids, I swear. Back to building headers, I guess.

I finally got around to ordering parts to get the AC system in the dually back up and running. Compressor, accumulator, high pressure line with orifice tube, seals, and condenser will be on their way. I'll either have to take it somewhere to get it charged back up or find a vacuum pump I can use for a while.

Good Morning Everybody!
Dave. I have the pump and gauges here. If you feel like making a road trip, I can help you out.
The guy that was supposed to come by yesterday for the farm tractor said he got tied up and would be here at 11:00 to pick it up. Pardon me if I don't hold my breath. I got the tubes done on the second header for EQ, so I just have to put the collector on it then bolt it up. I also have to drop off some parts to get shipped out. Looks like a busy day. I'll be home this weekend. The show in Minnesota was covered by another team, but the promoter is interested in doing other shows with me, so there's that.
