Morning midlanders!

Digger Dog, our first rabbit broke a front leg somehow. Vet set it and put a cast on. Went to pick him up and he had chewed it off already. Vet set it again. We got there to get him the second time and yet again he chewed it off.

Ended up keeping him in a pet carrier for three weeks to limit his activity. [emoji106] Healed up fine.

Digger (quite the excavator) was with us for eleven years. !!

BTW: Someone or something has abducted Tiger from our back yard.

I warned that silly rabbit not to sit on mom’s hot tub lid that and owl or coyote would get him.

You are going to have to put a cone on his head.

Probably going to have to do this but I hate to. They used to make some nasty tasting stuff you could spray it with to keep them from chewing on it. I used it on another dog that chased a rabbit into the bar mower & it all but cut the pad off the bottom of one foot, after stitches & wrap that stuff worked great. If Dude can’t play in the water or swim for 2 weeks he will be all pissed off & may shrivel up dwindle away. Lol.

Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows. It was good too.

The newest baby is home and sitting pretty in the shop.

The young man I got the bike from told me the rear brake lever wouldn't move.
He was right. I stood up full weight and it wouldn't budge. Spent the afternoon removing the lever from its pivot point that was seized. Sandpaper everything clean and lubed up with synthetic grease.
Smooth easy now. Reconnected the master cylinder, bled the rear brakes and Presto! I now have rear brakes.
Amazing what a little maintenance will do. This evening I took it out for a little around town riding and to get used to how it handles. Haven't road in 5 years, had to relearn. Boy, does it ride nice, though.

Hafta warn you. In 5 years the number of blind, self absorbed, texters who will endanger our physical health has greatly increased. Be on the lookout 360°

Traded off my 89 F150 this evening.
Got this. Been without a bike for almost 5 years. Felt awefull. Wanted one of these for a long time.

"Somebody" put some streamers on this one. I don't think he ever figured out who it was since it would happen when I wasn't even around.

Best thing is to hand them off to someone else to take care of when you are nowhere around...

Pink! Nice touch.

I have an Echo edger that won't start when it gets hot. Any ideas?

Vapor lock perhaps? Bad coil?

What is the fix for vapor lock? Open the gas cap? Tank vent replacement?

It usually mean the fuel(liquid) in the carb or fuel line actually boils into a vapor. So no fuel to run off of. Does it have a primer bulb?

Take inside, where it's air conditioned. See how it does then.

God’s way of telling you it’s too hot to work.

Yup, that’s it.

yes

Try pumping it next time it acts up and see if it helps it any. If so good possibility its vapor lock.
