We have rain on the way midweek ... 2-3” for our area (on top of the 2.5” we got Friday night into Saturday). Areas to the northwest & southwest are showing potential 3 to 5”! The ground is pretty soft and the grass is growing. Some areas are too muddy to mow & if we get another 2-3”, we’re going to have ponds!
On the LB situation - a “bead buster” has been ordered & should be here this afternoon. My bro needs it to work on his ATV tires anyway, so it made sense to order it now when LB’s tires need tubes & one tire is being a stinker (it’s got Slime in it which is causing issues).
Major success yesterday - the siphon my bro loaned me fit in the gas tank (I have 2 & neither fit) and I was able to get almost all of the old gas out. It still smells like gas so it’s not separated into gas/water & that’s a good thing. We’ll probably try to start it up either today or tomorrow.
There’s a little 10 cubic foot trailer that LB can pull - trailer hitch is compatible. I pulled it out of the pole shed yesterday after clearing off everything in/on it and the tires were not totally flat, maybe half to 3/4 full - one was better than the other. After getting it to the garage, I got the tires filled and they look pretty good, not showing dry rot. Fingers crossed the tires are still ‘up’ this morning. With all the tree debris around the new house, I’ll need the trailer to clean it up.
While digging out the trailer, I found some really nice boards - they’ll work great for shelving in the shop for my garden stuff :-)
What a treasure trove your sheds are, LOL! I know Beau sees the barn and the garage that way - I just want a place to park my VW over winter! ;)
