I shredded about 50 pounds of old papers. This house move is about killing me.
Finished caulking my kitchen back splash, did a measurement and just finished up putting in a 5 ft. gate in my chain link so I can get my rider lawnmower out of the back yard beings I got a dog. Picking up sticks the dog found and drug in, then seeing if my lawn mower will start.
Probably won't get it all done. NAP TIME!!!!

Mowed my lawn with a free to me Sears mower. Last fall, I obtained this >wouldn't start< mower from my uncle. It was at a rental home that he was cleaning up before putting it up for sale. I took all 3 mowers in various stages of disrepair to see which ones I could get started. Parts were missing, so I did some parts swapping from mower to mower to get one complete. OK, I had the donor parts on, but it wouldn't start. Carb cleaning, air filter and a new plug wouldn't do it.
Two issues. The keyway was partially sheared, witch changes the ignition timing. I fixed that, and it made not difference. Darn, I thought this was gonna be easy.
The engine has a mechanical compression release for easy starting............ Hmmmm............ I removed the head to see if there was anything major.
The exhaust valve was frozen open. I removed both valves, polished em up, and put it back together with new gaskets.
Started on second pull with Non-corn Premium fuel.
That was last fall. Today, I emptied the tiny amount of remaining fuel and refilled with new gas........................ started on first pull each time I restarted it.
6 laps around the yard and a front wheel fell clean off. The bolt had a fracture and was 98% rusted through with a 1/16 of an inch spot still holding on.
I salvaged a wheel bolt from one of the other mowers.
............of course the bolt hole was too small, so I drilled it to fit.
15 minute job took 45
.......story of my life, I don't get no respect, not even from a mower that I saved from the scrap yard.

That's a well built lil' trailer Rusty.
It's about 25 years old. Has full size 15" tires and wheels and heavy duty springs. They don't make little trailers like that anymore. That mower is a 1989 model and has had very little use since a new motor was installed in 1992. They are both gifts from my MIL.
My eldest son flew home from Japan for his Golden Week holiday. The younger boy flew in from San Francisco so we had a BBQ with old friends and neighbors yesterday. Today they both left. First I took the older boy to LAX-------airport about 35 miles through the city. The younger son was taking a bus home from Union Station----just downtown. The dopey kid (PhD. candidate in Biomolecular Physics) misses the last bus out because Mom made him a big fat lunch of leftovers from the party and he dragged that out til it was too late to make the bus. So he had to get the LAX-SFO flight at 3:30PM. Of course Mom and Dad are picking up the $232 one way ticket.
TWO trips to the MF airport across Los Angeles in one day.
I'm gonna have a few beers now!
Anyways, Momma is happy she got to see her boys again all together for a few days.

Has anyone ever done flooring work on a pilot boat or a tow boat while it was under way? I just spent 18 hours working on this one.
Highup nobody wants to work on boats here and if they do the charge is large telephone numbers
Do you get seasick?

Did I say I was actually working on this boat when the photo was taken?
Who gets seasick when the boat is docked?
Naw, it was downtown at the city docks and I had it all to myself. Worst part is the ramp going down to, and up from the boat every time I needed something from the van.
...just as I thought stairs were bad, here comes a ramp that works my legs silly. Low tide level up to the walkway on the upper side of the ramp is about 15 feet, and it's 75 feet from the van to the ramp. Way to many trips for me with tools and pattern materials. I ordered a 12 by 12 piece of carpet and it took 18 hours........... with a 5 by 8 piece left over.
I used part of the leftover piece for a bunk in the tug boat docked next to it.

Thats why layers here charge long telephone numbers to work on boats
It came in under $40 per yard
............and I vacuumed both stairways and the engine.
