Life is Grand.. No questions ..just banter!

Bill, did you get that gulley washer last Saturday (5/26) like we did at my place - 12mi south of Front Royal, VA. I started at 10PM and I think we had over three inches in a half an hour - it was like having a lake poured down you! Also got a lot of pea sized hail, so much so that it was still around two days later in spots where it accumlated.

Monday, Decoration Day, I noticed the neighobors brother in law shoveling by hand the gravel that had washed into the street. When over and said, "I'd rather use mechanica muscle on that type job. Why don't you wait and I'll go see if I can start my tractor that has the blade on it."

Now the last time I tried to start it, when I opened the tank valve no gas came into the sediment bowl. I checked the gas and it was low so I quit as I had other things to do to get ready to go to Iowa. On the way there, I decided it was the "infamous" "plugged filter inside the tank!" And I was not looking forward to cleaning it.

With the neighbor needing help, I decided I should take a chance and fill the tank, figured it would run over the top of the plugged filter. That worked, so I was able to do in a half an hour what the B-I-L would have had to take all day to do.

Now it's someone elses turn to "banter",

We lucked out and did not get real heavy weather. Just enough rain to keep the low parts of the field in water... right where I had to work!
I am over on the Eastern Shore.. Chincoteague Island. My wife has mentioned Front Royal area a couple of times as there is some sort of horse event that goes on there that she wants to attend.
