So what did you do today?

That's a hard way to fill a pool.

I got the oil problem fixed on that 262 today - turns out the pump was air bound - a little air pressure to the oil tank vent cured it.

Took the cover off the pool. May be a few days before it is clean enough for a swim...

Our pool looked exactly the same at 8:00 this morning. Put a large dose of shock in it and got it running. Water cleared up big time by dinner time. Now we just have to work on the water temperature.

We got Big Red's new planters set up today with some flowers. Just wish I didn't have to move them all over the yard before she found a place she likes. LOL....

Worked on getting a 1976 Johnson 9.9hp outboard back together. Been sitting in my garage for the last year and a half. Still need to replace the fuel pump cover (cracked) and the rubber gasket underneath (hard) but at least she popped when I put fuel in the throat of the carb. The problem turned out to be corroded coils where the plug wires enter. I think the motor was submerged at one time and water got into the wire at the coil socket at rusted it. Funny thing is the coils measured good and made spark, but not enough to run well. Fingers crossed.

Started putting my 029 back together, clutch sprocket wouldn't fit, broke another T-27 and ordered another one. At least I got the engine back in the shell without any problems.

Great job John! Thanks for the idea!

I also opened my pool today...looks better than a couple I heard about!

Just checked and my pool level is right up to the skimmers. Surprised a frog when I went out to check.

Today I was crawling around under a couple of 100+ year old houses and fighting off spiders so I could take a look at the structure and foundation. They both need pretty extensive work but we put in offers on them anyway. See what happens... I also tested a chainsaw I had repaired for a friend, did some final tuning and put it in the case to bring back to him tomorrow.

Sold one yesterday. Was a 1965 model. Mq11c I think? I'm not a boat guy, just found the motor in the front porch area of the shop, no one's knows where it came from, been around forever deal.

The guy nearly broke the front door down to buy it! I put it on Craigslist and it was sold 30mins later!

Just finished putting the 029 together except for the clutch drum which I'll try to get tomorrow, have a little more money in it than I planned but it should be good when I get the thing finally running.. I wonder if there's any other saw I can put the 029 sprocket on because it didn't fit this one, too shallow and wouldn't activate the oil pump.

Very nice. I like the bases they are sitting on. Don't show my wife or I will be modifying the ones I made last week.

I paid to have my cat killed and I buried my barn buddy. Mom cat. She followed me around like a puppy. Every where I went she was there. The most affectionate cat in the world. All she wanted was a kind word and a pet.
I hate F.I.P.
