So what did you do today?

[bigbadbob]

Handbrake filled coolant reservoir with washer fluid,,,,,,and carried on the road trip.

Spent two hours putting a master cylinder in my wife’s car just to realize there’s an o ring on the back of the master cylinder I didn’t see. Now I get to do it again. It’s 100% together but I could hear it pulling vacuum when I was driving to the neighbors to bleed the brakes.

Fixed it right this time even though the boss looks at me like it took too long.

Managed to shoehorn this into the junk pile in preparation of the apocalypse coming tomorrow. I have a ton of body panels I hope don’t get destroyed if it hails tomorrow.

started today off with bloodwork & checkup (I absolutely HATE needles).

back in January I had a spell of dangerously high blood pressure, but now it's well under control. I'm back on anxiety meds & down 12 lbs mostly from zero caffeine, watching sodium intake & eating healthier in general.

Saturday while it was nice out I put front tie down brackets on the 955 & put round baler belting on the front of my bush hog.

(no pics) but the 4x4 output shaft seal on the 955 has always weeped fluid, it's gotten worse over time. I fixed that Friday night, & changed the hyd filter/new fluid, greased everything etc so now it's ready to go for mowing season.

Happy Monday!

I got a 18hp vanguard engine back together and put it in the sunstar. Then I spent 5 hours mowing fence lines. 1 working mower! Only 6 left to go.

I was cleaning up in front of a shop so I could get into it with a skid loader to start cleaning it out. Everything above the red screwdriver except the big sockets on the left is Snap On. The pile with the green screwdrivers is Mac and Matco. Just about everything is rusted pretty bad.

Planted my early garden. Will plant the other stuff in April. Got a little more to plant tomorrow.

I need to learn more about those.

I need to learn more about those.

Battery charger with the negative on whatever you want to clean and the hot on a chunk of scrap metal. Whatever the hot is hooked to gets eaten up so be sure it's nothing you care about. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda per gallon of water and your good to go. I run 50amps at 12v and it goes pretty quick.

I soaked them in diesel, wire wheeled then vinegar. This stuff is pretty rough but it’s useable.

Each one is good, but in the case of large elements, the power consumption increases and the device may not be able to withstand it

Made most of the yard flat again.
