I can only say one thing about the past week’s weather here in Central Missouri - IT SUCKS!

Spent a lot of time over the weekend keeping horse water open. Lost track of how many times I had to thaw the fountain. Air line to the pond bubbler froze up. Nothing I can do with that but wait for the weather to warm up enough to thaw the line.

Confirmed the inverter module in my portable generator is why it’s not working. Naturally the part is made of unobtanium so I’m going to have to replace the whole thing. Then when I went to put it back down on the floor the shop crane threw a fit and blew hydraulic oil all over me and the shop floor and the boat and the Kubota and the golf cart. I guess the oil was so thick due to the cold temps that it couldn’t move through the valving fast enough so it blasted out the filler plug opening in the lift cylinder.

Then this morning I got word that one of my best friends fell over dead yesterday evening.

To say it’s been a crappy week would be an understatement.

So sorry for all of your troubles. I unexpectedly lost my BFF that way, too. It DOES suck. :(

Augie; The weather was truly bad that week, but most of all, for the loss of your friend. Condolences to you and to his family.
