Good Monday Morning!
Good Monday Morning!
Morning Everyone!
My son is doing a bit better today but downside is he has to get on a plane for work later today. Hope it's a smooth flight.
I'll be putting out some weed killer today then back to my wiring project - almost finished! Next is drop the carb back on, put the headers on, oil prime it and light her off.
Remember the "13"
Top of the Monday morning to everybody. We have a nice day in the making here this morning. I am going to get some yard work done today. I have a lot to catch up on now that I am retired. Hope everybody has a good week ahead.
Sitting in Emigrant Montana watching it snow. We got in a couple of days of fishing on the Yellowstone River and caught some nice rainbows, cutthroat, and browns. Drove down to Gardiner and couldn’t believe the number of deer and elk everywhere plus lots of bison. The weather may prevent us from seeing the properties we want to see since roads are probably really muddy. It’s a few hours from here so we’ll see how it goes.
Hope you you all have a great day.

Mowed my place yesterday for the first time this year and my 318 Deere started running rough lit out a huge cloud of blue smoke and died. let it set awhile and restarted and finished mowing. Think I am in line for one of those Vanguard swaps like Rocketman, would appreciate any info on this matter.
Good Morning. I was out in the shop and it's just a little cold at about 64°. I ran out of propane. It doesn't take much this time of year but it's nice to just run it a little to take the chill out. Have some errands to run so I'll just get my little grill sized tank filled and worry about the 100# ones for in the summer when hopefully the price will go down. They are a pain to load on a trailer with low sides. They used to allow me to lay them down in the back of the van but no more. They will allow a couple little ones in the back of the Subaru. They won't come out for anything less than a 250# tank. It's supposed to be raining but it's sunny. I had overseeded parts of the lawn and would like a little more rain than the 1/4" we got last night. I little a few times a day would be good. I'm off to run errands.

Mark I bought my Vangard engine from some place in Minn. The guy was familiar with my GT-18. They do tractor pulls up there with lawn tractors and said they use the GT-18 in tractor pulls. He make a couple modifications to the wiring. had a bushing for the crankshaft pulley and shims to raise the engine about an inch. Other than drilling holes in the frame to mount the engine it was a bolt in installation. I could not remember the name of the place but bing was my friend. It is Jim's Repair. Here is the link to it. http://www.jimsrepairjimstractors.com/Engines.htm I am out running errands today. Hope everybody has a good one.
Finally getting the much needed rain in our area.Cattle are both getting a shower and life back into their food supply (grass.).Palm Tree farm is getting a big drink of water as well.Thank you Dear LORD. Sold a bunch of parts this weekend and made it to both the PO and FED-X before today`s downpour.
Spending (yet) another morning down at city hall to take (yet) another set of revised plans in and get my new garage project permitted. I'm at the 5 month mark now, since initiating this process. Still without a permit to put a shovel in the ground. Architect, Planning Dept, Oak Tree Preservation district, Gas Co, Bldg & Safety, LA County Fire Dept, Santa Clarita Water Co, and the list of those with their specific requirements (and fees) goes on and on.

WC it's all about the $$$$, Well the weather on Monday was fantastic 70's and sunny, got to golf with a bunch of retiree's that we get together often. Tuesday the rain came back and temp's dropped back in the high 40's. Today is more of the same, rain. Working on getting the pool filter cleaned so when the weather gets better we can use it. Hope to get back on the 56 this weekend. Hope everyone is have a good day
