Goodness, I really should post more. I probably will once Winter sets in, but for now, I'm still catching up on Things I Couldn't Get Done in 2023.
The snow blower is #1 on the priority list. I have to get it running, and burn out the 2-year old gas in it. Then change the oil, and refill it with fresh gas with StaBil from my one gallon can, which I fill from my five gallon can, which is now sitting empty, and has to be refilled.
So, Tuesday will be pretty busy between the Dump Run we're going to make, a trip to Home Depot to replenish some consumable supplies and pick up a few things, a stop at the auto parts store for some other consumables, then stopping for gas in the truck and gas cans. And depending on where and when, we'll probably stop for a late lunch.
WHEW!
Yes, I used to be able to do all this before lunch, and I marvel at how I did it. But that was then, and this is now. I ain't griping or anything....I give thanks every single day that I can still do it effectively, even if a bit slower.
Sorry, no eye candy. I'm doing busy doing things to stop and take pretty pix!
May you all be vigilant, safe, and prosperous!

Sounds like you have a bunch of stuff to do. We're picking away at a similar list of chores. Retirement . . . :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! The Honey Dew list is getting shorter, though....
DeleteSlow and steady for the win!
ReplyDeleteWorks for me!
DeleteThere are days that, after I get up and do the morning chores and breakfast, I sit down and go "Where did all the time go?"
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah, totally understand.
Might want to run that snowblower for a while and make sure the carb is working properly before it gets too cold to work outside on small engines.
The stop at Home Depot was fun, because I rarely have my Sweet Little Wife with me. I knew where everything was, found everything I needed, and picked up some misc items like light bulbs and hardware. We were In-And-Out in about 30 minutes, and she was astounded I could "shop" so fast. Guys rarely shop. We go into stores to buy things!
DeleteFunny you should mention draining the carb. I was just looking through every manual that came with it, and there's no mention of draining the carb/tank. That's on tomorrows todo list, and I'm going to drain the carb and the tank before I start it.
Don't forget the Big Boy will be coming through to Cheyenne 10/23.
ReplyDeleteThat's my son's birthday, and a Saturday, no less! I'll have to see if he might want to go.
