Did you remember to put oil back in after you drained it? Edited October 19, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I changed my oil, and it ran fine,, something happened after the fact and the oil drain attachment snapped off.. I didn't realize it,, till I started the engine. Woa Nelly!!! Lucky for me it was a real old Toro that my dad gave me which was on it's last legs anyway.. DOH!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Put in another 12 hour day at work and poked around to see what guitars I can't afford are up for sale. Saw a couple of really nice ones, imagine that. Gibson sure knows how to tempt people who are easily led astray. Still no Firebird VII, though.

I've got a few of those 'old' things from my father.... my lawn tractor which I also use for snow blowing is from my father and 45+yrs old. It started 2 weeks ago when I changed it's oil, but it wouldn't start his weekend. Time to figure this one out. It doesn't always work (hence the other snowblower - but when it does, it is the bomb). Being down to one iffy piece of equipment doesn't have me excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Went to Patterson NY and back today. Our shop is looking to purchase a new CNC Mill, so the owner and I went up with the sales rep to check out the plant where they are assembled. During the tour we saw a mill being assembled for Martin Guitars among others. Pretty cool trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Placed bags all around the basement rafters. Has a minty smell and keeps mice packing. Cold season is on us so thought we would get ready. Then I sprayed Pine Sol mixed with water around the outside foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Worked all day and the wife's away for a 3 day weekend. Life is good! I'm taking care of a miniature poodle puppy and the place looks like the aftermath of an orgy: he's dragged her underwear all over the house and there's chewed on plastic water bottles and all kinds of junk all over the house. Everybody has to have a hobby, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would get so mad at him. He was a stud dog, He had puppies from California to Florida. So I used to tell her, PICK THEM UP, Then. if you don't want them eaten. Like work would tell us, (Be aware of your surroundings.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Woke up late, worked, fed snakes, worked some more, watched football through my eyelids, got bit by the puppy who was roughhousing. Been over a year since my heart attack so finally getting my bloodwork done tomorrow. I know they have me pumped full of too much thinner, still bleeding hours later from the dog bite. Conked the little guy out by giving him some turkey, that settled him down. Wife is back from all gurlz weekend. She fainted in a restaurant so something is not good.
