How'd it go today?

I got 31s cables from that source. Really nice. Highly flexible and the tractor starts like it never did before. It used to have to six volts in series. Two twelves much cheaper. Works great.

Many of our vintage Internationals, 656, 826, 1256, have 6 volt in series, and most are 3E/4E. It works, but 31S batteries from Fleetpride, or any truck store, are cheap and available.

finally got a hose reel and a GOOD tire inflator, might be the single most expensive air tool I've ever bought but hopefully my future kids will get to use it, didn't realize how much flow a good inflator puts out but I can fill my lawnmower tires from 0 to 20psi in about 10 seconds, got one with a locking coupler so I can be 5ft away from my truck and trailer tires when filling them, not a fan of being near a tire, statistically ones gonna blow up in my face one day, im just making sure my face is far enough away that I might not get hurt too badly when it does happen (although it might fix my face, its a lil F'd up)

Used washer I bought several months back, to replace the newer one giving us fits, just died as well. So using the laundry mat for a while. Blessing and a curse.
Appliances just are not built like they were.

Oh, and started with my new old doctor again last week. Accident shrunk me a whole inch

So true. And any reliable appliance salesman will tell you that, so in reality the situation is most likely even worse.

If it helps any, it was going to happen anyway, Stephen. I've lost an inch in the last couple decades just from age.

Drove an hour to diagnose and fix an electrical problem that many people had been working on for about a year. It had a no crank problem. I figured I'd jump the solenoid and see if it could start, then work my way back from there. I grabbed a dmm and checked the battery, a little low, but not terrible. Then I went to starter to jump it, and found a fuse holder someone had added. Bad fuse. I put in a new one and it fired up. I was hoping for a nice little puzzle to solve. I did get to crimp on some new connectors for the fuse holder, so not a total loss.

Please tell me you hit it with a hammer a few times before cranking it over, just for shits and giggles.

The good news was that I stretched up one as I had lost 2

I was officially 6' 2 5/8" at the oncologist last December. Imma chalk that up to hair loss, I've been claiming 6'3" for decades.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I told him, "don't write it down and make it official, just put 5'8", or the DMV will make me change my DL."

 

[Dave Shepard]

I finally got to work on my stuff today. Oil change and hoses on my backhoe. Pulled my dump truck out of the weeds in preparation for getting it running. First trail hike in months.
