    Replacing the hydraulic pump on our sprayer. It's on its last gasp...hope it don't blow up before the salvage yard pump arrives. Chasing shorts on case equipment is normal.

    No, it's just a custom. The lack of fring and chrome helps.

    It did good for 30 years at least.

    Well my weekend is pretty much shot. Wheelbearing on my pickup decided to start howling as I left work today. Managed to grab 2 from the dealer while on my way home. Just check them like 2,500 km ago and they felt fine. May as well put new lower balljoints in her since they're on the shelf. They'd have easily lasted the summer but since I'm in there already.

    I must finally be starting to mature. In the past I'd have gotten right wound up about having to tear my wheels apart late on a Saturday (with no parts stores open on Sunday). Life's too short for that. Hit the liquor store for a few beverages, then the local burger shack. Just wheeling it into the garage and ready to get started. Worst case Ontario I call up a coworker and hitch a ride to work on Monday.

    I admire people that get it done when they are home. I get to the house so rare I don’t do anything. I’ve needed to do the oil change on my car for 2 months now lol. I’ve realized I hit that age where my next phone case will be hi-viz since I lose it when it’s still in my hand.

    I do have the advantage of working Mon-Fri. I just really needed this time for other important projects. Well at least the OT I worked this morning covered half the parts on this job lol.

    Kielbasa & Mac.... slightly envious. Spent 4 hours moving my #### today, solo (not because I'm friendless, but because my Independent streak fuels a particular sort of rage that I have to burn off - alone). It's serious when I break out the weight-belt.

    Could use something that sticks to the ribs. For sure.

    Never heard of it either but obviously there is.
    There's one burning up there too.
