'Mornin', Joe.

Lazy day so far this morning.

About all I've got the gumption for today is checking the tire pressures and fluid levels. :-))

Mmmmm, energy......

I feel the same way! I threw on the battery charger and pulled off the cover to my air filter. I must run it today. It has been sitting for awhile.

I'm gonna fire mine up today also...hopefully tightening down those exhaust manifold bolts will eliminate the annoying "tick" I was hearing when the motor was cold. There was a little bit of soot visible on the block, so I have high hopes that's all it was.

Just to clean it. It is a cover from Pete and it was covered in dust.

Bill, I am not sure, but something tells me I owe either you or Steve $8 from when we went shooting. Not sure why I am thinking this.
