That will almost certainly be cool and wet, although warm and wet could happen.\u00a0 That’s the joy of living near the Gulf…\u00a0 It was pretty chilly yesterday morning at the BOL, but it did warm up and it was a beautiful sunny day.\u00a0\u00a0 Got chilly again when\u00a0 the sun went down though.\u00a0\u00a0 National forecast has us in clear weather for a couple of days anyway.<\/p>\n
I did get some smaller things done.\u00a0\u00a0 Got two sets of shelves up in the garage, and some stuff moved to them.\u00a0 Took down a rickety old shelf ‘thing’ that was left behind for us.\u00a0\u00a0 It worked for a while, but if not wedged into the corner and held in place by a metal cabinet, it wouldn’t have stood for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Took a few minutes and broke some more concrete.\u00a0 I feel that in my arms today.<\/p>\n
Took an hour and worked on my\u00a0 truck.\u00a0\u00a0 On the way up I noticed that only a little bit of water was spraying out of the window washer.\u00a0\u00a0 Topped up the tank, but it was mostly full.\u00a0 Since I\u00a0 had the compressor at the BOL, I thought I’d try blowing air back through the nozzles to clear out any blockage.\u00a0\u00a0 Didn’t work, but did reveal the issue.\u00a0\u00a0 There is some sort of check valve in the line, and it was broken.\u00a0 Cracked at first, then\u00a0 40 psig air blew it apart.\u00a0\u00a0 Had to take a couple of panels off to get to the part, and replaced it with a 1\/4″ barb fitting from my drip irrigation parts box.\u00a0 How’s THAT for a prep!\u00a0 Well, a lucky improv anyway.\u00a0\u00a0 Cheap brittle plastic part.\u00a0 (edit- it may have frozen, I haven’t driven the truck much.) \u00a0 I’ll look it up today and see if I can get a replacement.\u00a0 If not, I’ll just run with the barb.<\/p>\n
This was the first time I’ve really towed anything with the new expy and it did fine.\u00a0\u00a0 Better than I did after moving all that rock by hand.<\/p>\n
Today will be moving stuff around, going through auction stuff, returning the trailer, and sorting some stuff out.\u00a0\u00a0 If it’s dry, I’ll start taking down outside Christmas decorations.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe I’ll do some stretching exercises.\u00a0\u00a0 I really need to get back in the habit.<\/p>\n
And of course, I’ll be stacking things.\u00a0 Why don’t you join me?<\/p>\n
