How are you doing?
Hi, Vision! :-) We have a tropical storm moving over us today, lots of high wind and heavy rain. Our yard is a MESS.
How you doin?
Evening, folks.
Hey. You being hit with the storm?
Nah. We’ll get a little rain out of it, but this one looks to fizzle out to a tropical depression at landfall and track up the Mississippi. Looks like it could be a little rough in the western half of the state and the Florida panhandle - wind, maybe a little flash flooding. This one’s a non-starter.
Yes, there’s flooding and trees and limbs down and tornadoes here and there, but so far we still have electricity. In a *bad* storm, you ALWAYS lose power. Of course, it’s not over, and we could still lose it, but hopefully not.
I think I'm going to strip the engine and throttle bar off the old mower, break the rest down, and chuck it in the trash to get hauled off Friday (those guys will haul off anything that fits in the can, household trash or not *snicker*). I've got a push mower buried somewhere under a rack I use to shelve my compressor and air tools, and it donated the throttle bar to the mower I was using. It's like new, but it isn't getting a spark. The other one has a carb issue, but I figure it'll make a nice project to get a generator, frame, and other parts to build a cool backup generator if the power goes out. I can just get a new carb and bigger gas tank (and all the other parts) on eBay.
All that seems good. I put a new carb on my mower it was easy.
Yeah, I did a couple back in medieval times, but I can muddle through it. The big thing is finding he parts I need. If the job looks too expensive, I’ll just go buy a new one at Harbor Freight and build a go-kart out of this one. *chuckle*
