So what did you do today?

[fearofpavement]

I didn't start a chainsaw today. I was working on paperwork all morning and into the early afternoon. Then I went to the shop and spun up five 20" chains and two 24" chains. Put one of the chains and a new bar on an MS310 and took some pics of it. I am going to post it on CL later this evening. I was working on a 1990 Ford one ton van that hasn't run for years. Been chasing down problems one at a time. It doesn't seem to "spark" until I stop cranking it. (ie, when I let off the key, then it fires) I have run into this problem in the past but it has been so many years I can't remember what the issue is. Rats!
Anyway, I should head out to the deer stand to work on filling the freezer but I'm feeling a bit lazy...
What did you guys do?
Edit: Still don't have the van running but I do have spark now after changing both the ignition module and pick up coil. Now chasing an inop fuel pump, grrr.

Listened to the Click and Clack memorial show, boxed up an Echo 8000 to be mailed Monday, did some dishes and blew and mulched leaves. At the mall with my daughter now.

Check the ballast resistor if equipped with one.it seems you lose power to the coil in crank mode only which is considered the bypass circuit on Chryslers.

Just ran some errands with the wife, had lunch out, and waited in the car while she did some shopping, and got in a nap.

High 70's out, no wind at all, and all in all, a very nice day.

Being retired rules!!

Picked up a big load about 3/4 of a cord of already cut osage orange/ hedge. Then split and stacked in the basement. It has been cut for a long year and half. Most of it had to be split.

Since I am barred from chainsawing, I slept in, made some sausage based chili, stacked a little wood, took my m-i-l a small load of wood, replenished the dog food & cat food, and spend too much time on AS. Ron

 

[sunfish]

Cut a cord of dead Oak...

Hey I know where that 8000 is going.....

I did a work swap with a buddy, I fix his house he fixes my truck. So I redid all the flashing on his limestone chimney and he discovered I needed a whole new ring and pinion, pinion nut, and rear brakes!

Aka I spent a bunch of money on parts and considered swearing off general motors.

I had to work all day, which isn't unusual. May get to buck some bigger stuff tomorrow for a guy preparing a site for a cabin.
