Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[GrizG]

Which one of you guys were having trouble with the battery going dead in one of your vehicles? If I recall it may have been a Chevy.

Me for one…. The IPC repair didn’t stop the draw. It did fix the erratic gauges though! I made a discovery after putting the IPC back in the dash that I haven’t investigated yet. That being that I found a draw in the bottom of the fuse block itself that had been overlooked previously when testing the individual fuses. I’ll try to remember to get a photo.. It’s my mother’s 2001 Blazer… not that she’s driving anymore…

Sooo
Since y’all talking doctors and nurses…

My primary has a nurse that hates me

I’m 5’10’’ and in my prime sports days was around 145lbs

She gets me on the scale and I’m 168, I sigh, she asked what’s wrong. I told her I’m disappointed with how much I weighed. She told me “relax lots of woman weigh that much too”. My reply “yeah, they’re probably fat and miserable too”

She just walked out, 10 minutes later a different nurse comes in and is very short with me

Now the doctor comes in, he is a smart ass too

He tells me “you sure know how to make friends Matt”

Now, I’m not fat. But I sure don’t have the mean 6pack I used to have….

Now it’s a 1/4keg and needs to go.

I lent out my copy of "How to win friends and influence people" back in the early '80s and it was never returned... otherwise I'd pass it along. 😉

Wife got that once in a doctor's visit. Nurse asked her if she felt safe at home. She said "sure, I've got a 9mm on the nightstand and my husband has a shotgun and 357mag on his side." She said the nurse looked baffled and had no more questions

What's worse then us adults being asked stupid crap like that is the schools and Dr's ask our kids questions like that. Had to have a discussion with the kids about keeping their mouths shut about having guns. It's a real shite world we live in these days.

Every now and then my wife will look at the picture from our wedding day, and sigh. Last time I asked her what was wrong, she said she wished I was as skinny as I was when we got married. My 6 pack turned into a half keg a few years after I started my current job.

Well, I got the Asian 660 running today ... and it runs good, but I don't think it is as strong as my 066 and it was a LOT of headaches!

First, - I made a thin gasket for it, but it was too thin. Ended up searching my inventory. Some of the gaskets I have measure .022, but one from Cross measures .017, so I used that one and squish ended up at .022. Good to go!

Second, I put it all together and was anxious to run it, filled it with fuel ... and it started leaking all over the place. Determined the leak was where the fuel line goes through the tank. So I figured I'd get an OEM and not worry about it, but NO ONE has them ... I guess my saw models are getting ancient!

I found I had a supply of AM fuel lines ... but they also did not fit snug in the hole (I still can't figure out what the heck happened). But, determined to run the darn saw I cut the bottom off the first fuel line (where it connects to the filter) and threaded the new fuel line through it till it reached the flat stop, so where it goes through the tank is two layers thick (was a lot of work to do this), but it worked!

Third, then I throw the saw back together and fill it and try to start it ... 20 pulls and no kick. I'm starting to think the there is no spark, so I remove the filter and prime it, and she starts, idles, and purrs like a kitten. I hit the trigger, and NOTHING happens ... and I realize why it would not start, I forgot to reconnect the trigger linkage when I rushed to put it back together!

I'm so glad that it is now running, but what an ordeal!

Sounds like my usual foray into saw repair!

Heading out to try to scrounge some perch. Probably will be the last fishing trip of the year.
Beautiful morning...

I'm in shape, round is a shape...
I don't have a 6 pack, but I have a uni-ab.
It's not what's on the outside, but what's in the inside that counts .
Just a few that I use, feel free to borrow them boys.

Considering the price of groceries, I have a prosperous look.
