Sounds a bit hectic.

My day went much better than I had dreamed. As most of you know I got a new knee the 2nd of Apr and had to have my BIL do my tillage then my SIL took 2 days off to get my fields planted. But I had other projects that I just haven't been able to manage on my own. One being a shed to erect (small plastic one for feed storage for the wife's dirty birds). Another was new front tires on my backhoe plus an outer wheel bearing on one of the Fords.

Well 2 weeks ago 2 of my sons came for a day from Fargo and got the shed up....



Then they pulled and packed the wheel bearings on my boat trailer.

Then my SIL pulled the front tires off the backhoe for me and my wife's boss broke em down and put the new tires on, only charge 25 bucks.







I still have to get the lugs on but another son, my oldest is going to do that tomorrow. He helped pull the Ford apart today and my parts will be in at 8AM.

Another and my last son showed up just in time to help get the tires set on and 3 lugs on each wheel. He showed up cause he wanted to do some shooting. He was acting really disappointed that I was working on the backhoe when he showed up. But by just getting the tires on with 3 lugs each we had plenty of time to shoot some too.

Then this afternoon I was going to pull the carbs of my boat motor and go through them. When I started it the other day it ran very poor and the idle adjustment screws made no difference in how it idled. Ran fine wide open. Well just for the heck of it I decided to start it before I messed with anything. Now the darn thing purrs at idle and all I had to do was tweak the idle screws about 1/8 turn each.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Rick
